Don't ask the AI to write ransomware, ask it to write a tool to automate remote file encryption.

Ask the right questions and all these so-called AI regulations become futile.

For tens of years, Europe has pushed for tougher climate action. Time on time again, US blocked any and all global treaties. So EU eventually went at it, alone.

It could have been so much easier if we all had seen reality for what it was long ago. But some didn't.

Fact remains that climate denial is overwhelmingly a US disease. Fact remains that pro capita, the US emits nearly an order of magnitude more greenhouse gasses than any other developed country. I blame it on their mah freedums and corporate lobbies who rule the country. See where that got us all.

US reluctance made the others go at it alone. You're welcome.

You believe inanate things like the Sun "wants" to keep the planets in orbit? That is just plain wrong.

The Sun keeps the planets in orbit because of its mass. That's how gravity works.

The Sun is unable to "choose" anything else. With such choice would come options, like tomorrow the Sun would decide not to want the planets in order and let them fly off in a straight line or even pull them in.

Stuff doesn't work like that. At all. Regardless of your belief

AI will never take away the joy that comes with writing and playing music. Be it live, on rehearsal or in ones bedroom, there is so much fun in that process: the endless learning and discoveries (regardless of ones skill and experience), the expression, the interaction with band members and the audience.

So no, musicians aren't going anywhere soon. And, anecdotically, never before have so many people taken an instrument and decided they are going to learn how to play it.

And audiences still love a night out and seeing a good show by a real band and having a chat and drink with fellow fans.

The fact that some zero-skill newb can now ask an AI to crunch out tunes ad infinitum doesn't do away with any of that.

Only a marginal fraction of musicians are making money from their music. Every one else does it just because they love doing it.

Of course there is a web interface. It's called Luci: https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fopenwrt.org%2Fdocs%2Fguide...

OpenWRT is Linux. So you also get to ssh in and opkg install or update. Opkg is apt-based, with similar options and commands. Familiar with other Debian(-bases) distro's? Then this will be a no-brainer.

Since it's Linux, you also get all the network stuff that comes with that. OpenWRT supports NFS, rsync, Nextcloud, adblock, you name it. Only restrictions is the storage and memory capabilities of your device.

Did anyone mention how the device will keep getting timely firmware updates, like forever? How individual libs and binaries get updates, too, so not just the whole OS?

I had to flash my device using serial connection on the board. Having a device shipped with OpenWRT will make OpenWRT so much more accessible. Combine this with router freedom that EU supposedly has these days, and https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Ffsfe.org%2Factivities%2Fro... comes another step closer.

That's a load of bull, buddy: The first line of OP litteraly says "The Macquarie Dictionary, the national dictionary of Australia, has picked "enshittification" as its word of the year."

AFAIK, neither /. or Cory Doctorow have any say in Macquarie Dictionary. We know nobody reads TFA. But we've dropped really low if we even skip OP or can't remember it a couple PgDn's further, haven't we.

Twitter, like Facebook and Instagram, have disappeared from the internet for me. While I could browse them and follow threads or search topics on them if I wanted, back in the day, without accounts on either I only get a "log in to continue" from the moment I visit.

So they've removed themselves from the internets for me and go on about their circlefap without me. Probably a good thing for all involved.

Users ticked ok on the fact that 'services agreement grants the company rights to use customer content.'

Why would anyone agree with such a contract? All mindlessly numb by the flood on endless TOS and EULA?

Now step back for a second. Read what you are asked to agree with. And consider.

And yes, though they do not take priority over the law, these are legal contracts people sign off on every day.

"weight loss drugs"?

That's obviously not working: obvious stats are obvious.

But here on /. we sum the totals for countries, right, like with CO2. They made these stats all wrong. What's with mad wokes trying to compare pro capita!? Even while 75% of US adults are now obese, Americans in total are consume nothing like the Chinese. No health problem what-so-ever! Hah! US has instead serious catching up to do.

Now where's my canned drinks and my factory food? Want! More! /s

No need for sudo with apt unless you actually going to make changes to the system - installing or removing packages: no root needed for read-only stuff like 'apt show need-restart".
Heck, I don't think I have sudo on my personal machines even.

need-restart had a security-update the other day on my Debian boxes, and apt autoremove ditched a lib in the process. Now I see why.

And yes, I've been using needrestart for years. It keeps track of upgraded dependencies so much better, then suggests in an ncurses window a selection of services to restart. I still get to decide what action to take - restart a service, X, or the whole box. Sometimes I choose to postpone, schedule for overnight.

I like.

"Solid is a specification that lets people store their data securely in decentralized data stores called Pods. Pods are like secure personal web servers for your data.

Entities control access to the data in their Pod. Entities decide what data to share and with whom (be those individuals, organizations, applications, etc.), and can revoke access at any time.

To store and access data in a Pod, Solid-enabled applications use standard, open, and interoperable data formats and protocols."

Following your sum total, even while 75% of US adults are now obese, Americans in total are still lightweight compared the Chinese. Keep up the munchies, you're way behind!!

Exactly this!
It's a big cosmos out there. Especially between stars, the scaling of distance is huge.

This following shows the scales pretty well, so, to get you a quick rough idea: ...between the Sun and Earth: 1 AU ...between stars: 200.000 AU ...galaxy size: 1000x that, 1000 pc. ...between galaxies: 1000 kpc ...observable universe: 1000 Mpc

See where the largest jump is? Where mostly it's 1000x, to the next star is 200.000x. That's more than two orders of magnitude over the other scales. And the reason why, to me, we haven't detected any extraterrestrial life and probably why they haven't detected us.

One can make a similar scales ladder with 'life on Earth' (which for 3 billion years was unicellar) to 'intelligent life' - the timescales are huge. We've worked with electromagnetism for what, 100 years?
