It’s kind of like a PDF of a web page. But it’s functional You don’t have to load the whole site at once and links take you from page to page just like it did in the original website. The content is stored in monolithic ZIM files and you can get a decent selection from archive.org. But it’s mostly reference material and the content is quite static.

I tried really hard to use IPFS. I set up a syncthing and did some auto-publishing scripts.

It’s slow AF, and unless you pay some big player to pin your files there’s only about a 1 in 10 chance of it actually being available everywhere. I had to actually peer my computers together to get sure fire access to my own data.

Then there’s very little in the way of privacy. I did some JavaScript crypto self-decrypting archives that was kind of fun But with the distribution problems it just became more of a hassle to use than anything.

Unimpeded root. You can still get it on maybe a handful of phones but apps are getting harder and harder to run with it enabled.

I miss them nostalgically I think. I have four different styles of small wireless keyboards and other than responding to a quick text they are mostly infuriating.

Everything is swipe or speech now for me.

I like N,C,E,F, and K But I really like the switches on the UK plugs.

So what’s the solution for this board, they should just put up a black image? Should they start a crowdfunding to pay an artist?

It’s a really bothers an artist enough they could make a banner for the board and ask them to swap out the AI. But, they’ll have to make something that more people like than the AI.

In 15 seconds? There’s simply no way.

Real artists use uncited reference art all the time. That person that drew a picture of Catherine the Great for a video game certainly didn’t list the artist of the source art they were looking at when they drew it. No royalties went to that source artist. People stopped buying reference art books for the most part when Google image search became a thing.

A hell, a lot of professional graphic artists right now use AI for inspiration.

This isn’t to say that the problem isn’t real and a lot of artists stand to lose their livelihood over it, but nobody’s paying someone to draw a banner for this forum. The best you’re going to get is some artist doing out of the goodness of their heart when they could be spending their time and effort on a paying job.

“If you’ve got something that’s preemptive, that’s immediate, that’s already there, you just can’t kill that many people in 10 to 15 seconds,” Marston said.

That’s their bar? Killing people for up to 15 seconds That’s not so bad?

How much you want to bet it’s using AI to determine who the shooter is. How much you want to bet is capable of false positives…

There are lots of people poking at them with sticks. Every time someone does it they post who’s doing it and show it as proof that they’re being oppressed.

Absolutely nothing stopping you buddy.

I don’t think there’d be any outcry. Go give it a shot.

If they only knew how to actually do the work, they could just ask it to do it right in the first place.

Make me a page display this data.

Now go back and put all that spaghetti code into reusable functions and use them.

I think it generally tries to take the path of least compute power first saving money on their behalf.

You can make it a hell of a lot better just by installing it with the ground prong up.

But we won’t even do that.

If I earned a car rental company I would take out billboards with this story on them.

you can at it’s current usage level, if new limits spark new usage, we’ll need a lot more exit nodes.

yah, at first glance i didn’t question it either :)

eggs are about $0.28 right now that’s 0.0000024 BTC which is ~ 239 sats + another 200 or so for transaction fees.

I really didn’t want to go bitcoin, but it’s likely the only reasonable competition we can put up against stuff the size of Visa.

someone needs to post this in a meshtastic group, we’ll have lora store and forward bird routers
