Redditors have caught Google secretly updating its Chrome terms of service to remove a line that guaranteed that local AI models won't send data to Google servers.
That's now gone, meaning your local AI sends data to Google, so it's not that local.

@campuscodi The problem is not Google, the problem are the people who don't care about any of it. Voting with your feet (leaving the product) would force the company to make changes for the good. People don't care.
We are quickly becoming a distopian world.
@unusual_whales corporate America is a race to the bottom. Worst thing for humanity and the planet
Someone on here recommended Cahokia Jazz, which I just finished (and even kept overdue from the library a few days, oops). Totally not my typical type of fiction, but I really enjoyed it! Really interesting alternate history worldbuilding.
Wellllll, fuck me. I did not expect this (very long) post to be so honest, cheerful, kind, and instructive.
But it was.

Fuck this trend.
1. Unilaterally cut employee benefits without renegotiation
2. Blame “AI spending”
“AI spending” is now the go-to excuse to lay off and screw over your employees, no questions asked.

I know it's not traditional, but how would you describe a meat pie floater using leek and potato soup? #food
I know the theory, I get it, but when you watch an absolute nonspecialist, wholly new to Linux or installing an OS at all encounter secureboot for the first time, and what they learn is "this is an obstacle to me doing something I want with my computer, but I can turn it off with three clicks", a reasonable person might reasonably conclude that this might be some bullshit that isn't protecting anyone from anything real.

To be fair, it actually *is* some bullshit that isn't protecting anyone from anything real.
(The primary goal of SB is to protect your data from a specific type of high-cost targeted attack that affects C-level executives and nobody else. If you're not carrying investment plans or nuclear launch codes, turn it off and use full-disk encryption instead. That's all you need.)

"It's not that I think nuclear power is 100% safe, I won't tell you that. But ... the risks of nuclear power are less than the risks of continuing to burn fossil fuels, in my opinion. Now a lot depends here on how much of your energy mix you think you can get from renewables, which are very good at the current margin, but you don't want to become over-reliant on them."

You don't think it matters, I know. But it does.
It matters so much that the GOP is spending *billions* of dollars tryna convince you it doesn't.
It matters so much that the 6-3 majority of fascist boot-lickers on the Supreme Court is doing everything in its power to prevent your vote from counting.
It fucking matters.
I'm not a Democrat. The best of them make me uncomfortable, and the most of them give me the fuckin' creeps.
That's not important right now.
These people are mercenary. They go where the votes are. Show them the votes are there for people who care about other people.
Voting really matters.
And yes, it's not the only thing, and it's just one thing, not "the" one thing. There *is* no one thing.
Because the power is small and spread out, it's easy to believe you don't have it.
But you do.

@mcnado Horseshit, indeed! Ivermectin: making sure your horses shit healthy poo that's not full of active parasites...
(I know you know this already. I just couldn't resist the connection, after actually giving ivermectin to horses and dealing with literal horseshit. I'm sorry so much of your job is now dealing with metaphorical horseshit. Way grosser.)
@sundogplanets @mcnado They might be drawn to it because of the brain worms.
Imposter syndrome is largely an affliction of the competent. Actual impostors seem to feel just fine...
