in the same way you mention cell towers being able to triangulate a device, you can also be tracked with WiFi APs if you’re connected to or even just searching for a network.

hence “beyond”… you’re good mate ;)

3,4 and 5. 1 and 2 require you to not have cell service, which is possible for any device.

hey printf. just wanted to drop in and say its been really cool to follow your Linux journey. I don’t have suggestions for you, but please keep it up.

can I ask: what is it about OpenRC that you like? I personally haven’t tried artix yet (for personal use i’m on arch) so I’m not familiar with the differences.

spent some time last week adding metadata to my mp3 music obtained with yt-dlp. used musicbrainz Picard.

I’m actually really surprised how comprehensive that database is, and how easy it was to manually tag the tracks that didn’t get picked up automatically.

something I feel is important to note: they added CSAM to the list of things they were searching for in order to gain access to his phone.

when the phone was clean (due to the wipe), they did not follow up on that charge

if they truly believed this person to be in possession of CSAM, a warrant should’ve been issued by now to follow up on that very serious accusation. instead, they go after the destruction of evidence.

because they have nothing on this man, and it was a fabricated excuse to gain access to his phone.

bringing you joy is its purpose, and that is valid.

my commits are the reason we haven’t achieved AGI

LAPD suspending their contract gives me hope that this movement is strong enough.

Protesting, showing up to city council, and generally making officials’ lives uncomfortable is the bare minimum, because it works.

MHFU is definitely my favorite too. very fond memories as I’d get together with my friends (who had moved away) once or twice a year to do the big hunts we struggled with on our own.

I also really liked star wars battlefront: (rogue squadron?). was a bit shit to aim with no second stick but I remember the incinerator plus a lock-on killed anything real quick.

iirc the flock database is searchable by “man wearing x” type queries, so grey-man style clothing would be more beneficial here.

we get none of the cool parts of cyberpunk I swear.

thank you for this

Claude is geared more towards enterprise companies, anyway. I think you went over pretty succinctly as to why: they can afford the extra resource burn.

pretty much the way I use AI rght now is similar to how you see the near future of your use.

• AI does first draft
• I review draft, conclude ‘this is shit’
• redo most of it

its pretty useful for getting through writers-block type scenarios sometimes because of that, but past the initial stages of the project the usefulness declines dramatically.

I’m still not seeing any real ways of removing the human in the loop, especially for the review process.

thanks for your writeup. I didn’t read the original but this one was fun to read through.

this looks like an awesome project, and I appreciate how you went over the ways AI helped and hindered your project at the end. its really hard to get honest feedback about AI from devs IRL right now, everyone keeps saying they have silver bullets in their workflows and I feel like the crazy one for not being able to figure it out.

looking forward to giving AC a shot!

there’s no fucking way

yoinking that phrase, thank you. do you remember where you got it from?

it might be because you were trying to access via VPN. if you have a residential IP to exit from or you can go to a library or something to try and sign up from there, I bet this wouldn’t trigger.

good call. if they’re asking for photoID I will stop recommending them

depending on your use case, check out privacy.com

they offer digital cards that act as proxies to your bank. if there’s ever a vendor breach, payment information on you is not the same between any two vendors. you can limit your cards to single-use, merchant locked, and set spend limits.

this service is not anonymous as they need your bank details.

yep. i’m the target customer for this vehicle, and idk if I’ll be getting it. when I was originally thinking about buying it the economy was doing fine. not great, but I was/am fortunate enough that i could spend $20k on an enthusiast car that I’d use as my commuter.

now, I’m thinking a shite $5k Prius could accomplish everything I need.

I still have to make up my mind, but right now (speaking for myself) that money can be put in a lot of better places.
