I think what they mean is, with a black box we know the input, documents, and output, yes you can buy beer, but we don’t know the internals. How and for how long is the data stored, who is it shared with, who has access to it, how much meta data can they pull together to build a profile on you and so on.

Yeah, of all the subscription services I don’t think YouTube is very egregious. The people you watch earn way more from you that way than watching ads.

I see you’re gemming for strength. Bit odd, but you do you.

Advertisers don’t want to be viewed next to or adjacent to “problematic” content. Hence no swearing in the first 5 or so minutes in a YouTube video (right after add have played), self censoring words like cunt and suicide so algorithms don’t deprioritise you (again, because platforms make money from ads, so they won’t promote videos that aren’t as friendly).

It’s all in the service to appease advertisers, and they require platforms to roll out the red carpet wherever they tread.

Meant to say “jar of jam” :D Don’t worry, I’m an avid jam consumer and tea drinker

It suddenly makes sense how you can punch out trees and stones

I’m sorry for your loss :( All of them are gorgeous!

Now that’s a cat mob-boss if I’ve ever seen one.

That’s a gorgeous pattern!

I don’t mean to alarm you, but i think his legs are on backwards.

Those really are some kangaroo legs.

Very majestic looking ^^

Nice try sneaking in your humble brag with that homemade jar and fancy tea pot, you’re not fooling anyone!

Holy crap those are some puppy eyes! 😄

I have a work colleague who does the copy pasting. He asks me how I can tell when he’s using AI to write git commit messages when there’s a sudden spike in capitalised words, correct grammar, emojis, bullet points (and add in that the message sometimes has nothing to do with what’s in the changes). It’s infuriating when he uses it in a discussion. I thought he’s lack in skills to make himself understood was bad, but arguing essentially with a chatbot is so much worse.

Donnie will never forgive himself for forgetting his giant sharpie pen either.

I heard Noctua are experimenting with trickle down cooling. Leaked image?

Have they said they are ready to commit to a price somewhere? The timing of the steam machine and the ballooning price of disk space and RAM is comically tragic.

It’s on purpose… It’s like a well timed cut off scream or “FUU” in a video. It adds to the humour, like we weren’t suppose to see that part. It’s the pornhub tab in someone’s browser.

My parents kinda has one where they live in Sweden. Except everyone is welcome to the meetings. And it’s mostly about planning, upkeep, and budgeting for snow ploughing, play parks and things like that, instead of relying on the local council to do it. And it’s only for the one street they live on. Definitely no where near what an american HOA is like 😅
