The current thread is about AI slop, not DMS. You helped create the branch we’re on. You said “people on Lemmy can’t tell slop from useful info.” I said “this is AI slop because the sources don’t match,” assuming that I wouldn’t have to explain the hallucinations (fabrications is a bit better here) because that usually comes with slop. Since the current thread is about whether or not slop is meaningful, I have no idea what you added by saying “hey I attacked someone for not liking AI then attacked someone else for a refutation of the AI that I was white knighting.”

Given the sources don’t really back up the content, I think it’s safe to say this is slop. You should probably proof AI slop before you white knight it next time.

There isn’t a universal language to fill all these needs. DevOps covers a ton of areas so you want several tools in your toolbelt instead of just one (granted if you’re an incredibly talented greybeard bash can honestly do everything and do it fairly fast; I’ve never taken this analysis too seriously).

• bash is something you need for every day tasks and quick tooling to improve everything else in this list
• POSIX tooling is something you should know well to improve everything else on this list (eg awk is something you’ll use a lot in bash)
• Python with or without types will handle more advanced scripting in a cleaner and more maintainable way for your team (explaining bashisms slows things down. Does your junior know what : is or why we currently prefer $() over backticks?)
• Go is something you want to use for containerization and scaling servers
• Rust is something you want to use for process work and embeddables

Each of these languages meets some of the requirements on your list but not all. That’s because nothing is a silver bullet. Depending on what you’re doing, you might even want to introduce, say, Java or C# in your pipelines if that’s what you’re maintaining. DevOps should support not alienate and overall it needs to be flexible.

Can you help me understand which political petitions meant to document real constituent desires don’t require doxxing yourself? I don’t believe I’ve ever participated in any citizens initiative that didn’t require personal information.

I don’t follow this argument. In this context, proprietary code is work product that has value to its owner. Often large swathes of said work product is reused across games so the theory is that releasing the work product means your competitors can make your work product. I do not understand how wrapping someone else’s work product in your own work product doesn’t require them to first release their work product.

Note I don’t necessarily buy the company mindset on proprietary code; I explained here because I don’t understand where you’re coming from.

This isn’t recent. This has been an ongoing thing for at least 20 years (if not longer; that’s just the earliest I remember having this convo). Yes, it cleans the wound by killing things but it also fucks up the healthy tissue around the wound (see other comments for a more scientific explanation). Having some in a medical kit is useful for other activities such as diluting with water for an ear rinse, diluting with water for various mouth stuff (rinse not swallow), and some skin treatments (again, diluting first).

Tidal is owned by Block, the owners of Square, which is the biggest POS vendor in the US. If that’s not big tech I don’t know what is.

Your last sentence is somewhat naive. It can often place the onus on the wrong group. People don’t want to engage with the XLibre dude with open minds and empathy any more because back when they did, he didn’t engage with an open mind or empathy. You can only do that for so long before you have to isolate and protect. Quarantine, deplatforming, and isolation works when someone refuses to engage. At some point you have to be intolerant of intolerance if you want to get anything done.

Scope some literature on deradicalization. There is only so much empathy you can give someone who thinks an entire group of people don’t deserve to be human and, more importantly, there has to be a cutoff when you’re not getting empathy back. You’re right, empathy and an attempt to understand is important. Don’t forget many people in marginalized or attacked groups have to defend their existence every single fucking day so sometimes their empathy is pretty drained.

Don’t tell me you think Roko’s basilisk is real

I must be pulling a red herring then

A point I haven’t seen yet is just general eugenics. I know OP says “no appearance or mind” but genetic diseases directly affect those. Take deafness, for example. It can be genetic and therefore could be “fixed.” The deaf community would be fucking furious (cochlear implants can be incredibly controversial). Blindness can also be genetic. Cleft lips and club feet can be genetic (or influenced by) and they can be really gnarly so why wouldn’t we fix those? And since we’re fixing things, why not fix autism and Down’s syndrome (I know we said no mind but those are truly game changers!) and oh shit now we’re in Gattaca. Eugenics is bad. I won’t fully commit to a slippery slope because that’s a fallacy; I will say very convincing science fiction has been written about this and I have seen nothing under capitalism (or communism!) that convinces me that wouldn’t happen.

You’re looking for something like Nightshade. The chuds into accelerating the rapid destruction of all energy resources are aware and capable of defending so it’s not as solid. I don’t know if image datasets are scraped or manually compiled so YMMV; I do know the more poison you throw out the better.

OSINT off stuff like this includes

• IP addresses unless you’re using a VPN and periodically changing it up
• textual analysis if you ever comment
• interests if you ever subscribe or even regularly visit the same communities regularly (which opens a lot of doors)
• other accounts if you aren’t using single-purpose emails and handles

Privacy and social media are mutually exclusive. Find me a security expert that disagrees and I might change my mind. Right now you’re a random person on the internet, I’m a random person on the internet, and OSINT is real.

Privacy and social media are mutually exclusive. The ones you have linked are no exception. DD requires a phone number so I didn’t get any further. Minutiae has you taking photos and sending them to a centralized service. That’s not private. I don’t understand why you’d say that no is concerned about privacy with the implication that’s a bad thing then immediately recommend something as bad.

AFAIK you are correct, which is why I called out wonky timestamps. This blogpost goes into some interesting ways to mess with timestamps. I think it’s probably more effort than it’s worth unless we get more context on why timestamps are important.

Strange; the page is shilling for a product that doesn’t use raw HTML for its site.

You most likely aren’t going to be able to retain timestamps unless you permanently keep a Windows partition. Linux uses a different drive format and permission scheme. Structure, absolutely; timestamp and owners and other little Windows things, not realistic.

Also unless you back stuff up you run a risk of losing it. No way around that period.

The gist of what you’ll do is resize your Windows partition, create a new partition for a Linux install, and mount your Windows partition in Linux until you’re able to move data over. You probably want to dual boot at least until you’re sure Linux can properly access the data you need.

2013-02-27 is also unambiguous unless you’re aware of a country that uses year day month, is not?

There are several people in the comments saying they have to use 27 Feb 2013 because they work with people all over the world. I’m really confused - what does that solve that 2013-02-13 does not? I know that not every language spells months the English way so “Dec” or “May” aren’t universal. Is there some country that regularly puts year day month that would break using ISO 8601 or RFC 3339?

I’d be curious to see a sorting algorithm that doesn’t handle YYYYY-MM-DD with YYYY-MM-DD properly. If you drop the dashes you still get a proper numeric order. If you sort by component, you still get the proper order. Maybe a string sort wouldn’t? Off the top of my head the languages I’m thinking either put longer strings later, giving us the proper order, or could put 1YYYY- ahead of 1YYY-M so maybe string sorting is the only one that’s out.
