Comment Needs an "AI Generated" indicator/badge (Score 3, Interesting) 31

I want to know which content is AI generated and have a way to block it completely. Youtube is now flooded with so much AI garbage content. I want a way to say 'hide AI crap from my feeds'. I pay for Youtube (to remove Ads) but I consider stopping this because the content is AI garbage more than ever.

I'm talking about Youtube but it must be the same for any Web sites, music, ... I want a 'Hide all AI created crap' button/settings.

Apple started this trend/mess of e-waste. From Smartphone to computer/laptop: everything soldered on board and nearly impossible to fix/upgrade (RAM, CPU, Batteries, ...). Everything is now disposable and planned for obsolescence. This is a freaking nonsense and it's having impact on environment, humans, ... A trend now infecting cars, appliances, ... and many other industries. This have to stop.

Replace D-Link with Ford, Toyota, Hyundai, ... Your car is too old (5, 6, 8+ years?) so we don't fix the infotainment/config system bug. You don't have radio, car configuration (lights, suspensions, ...), digital speedometer, gas gauge, ... Too bad for you but you can by this shiny new car.

Yes I want native apps. Stop making closed protocols and just use open ones (IRC / IRCv3, ActivityPub, ...).

If we take IRC to compare with your examples (Slack, Discord, ...): there is a IRCv3 initiative. Why we can't just participate to the effort of developing good open protocols and let anyone who wants developing clients for it (like it was in the past)? No needs for a bunch of closed protocols. No needs for "web apps" with all performance, security, .. issues and all mecanisms/tricks/... required to compensate for it because the Web WAS NOT made for this (applications). Why "burning" 1GB+ of RAM to access Web apps?! I want my small, snappy and optimized native apps back please!

For those old enough to remember Borland AKA Inprise AKA Borland... tools like JBuilder (and all others tools/IDEs they make)... We had to pay premium for their IDEs. A lot of projects was in their vendor locked-in tools. When they stop supporting/selling it, of LOT of projets spent TONS OF CASH migrating their projets to tools like Ant/Maven/[IDE du jour]/...

For me proprietary IDEs, even if they have a Community version, is a NO-GO for me. The day Mr. Greedy pass by, your IDE will disappear or be exclusively a payware tool.

Comment Re:Critical information in the Cloud... (Score 1) 74

You do realize that, as it stands right now, if you have a password to a Cloud service, that password is stored.... wait for it... as a salted HASH (not the password itself like LastPass even if it's encrypted). If it's not the case, then you must leave your Cloud service provider right now.

If your data (password and/or any other information) is really critical/personal for you then you never (ever) want store it in any Cloud service provider. Ever. Keep in mind that any data stored in the Cloud WILL BE stolen someday even if you like it or not. It's a fact.

Any small notebook is safer to keep your password/personal info than any Cloud solutions. The attack surface for any Cloud services is the Internet (the world)... My small notebook/printed info/local storage/...? Near ZERO attack surface. I'm talking about critical information.. not my favorite recipes.
