  • I don’t usually engage with trolls, but my train is late and I’m all out of productive things to do while I wait.

    I am not going to debate whether this is AI. If you want to believe it isn’t, you’re welcome to do that. As for why it’d be bad - I believe that a technology that is trained on the work of many artists, without permission or compensation, that puts control of visual - I am not going to call them artistic - outputs under the control of a few tech oligarchs, is bad, and should be boycotted and sabotaged if possible. Even open weight models are, ultimately, usually trained by large corporations, and openly available by their ‘benevolence’. If they decide their next generation model will be closed source, it will be.

    I also believe that the sheer amount of both monetary, and physical, resources currently expended on generative AI and related technologies is largely wasted, in a world where we can hardly afford such waste.

    Also, please substantiate why using rather clear signifiers of ai generated content to claim something is ai generated is likely to cause harm, and why, in your eyes, ‘pro-ai’ aren’t required to proof the merit of their believes.

    Oh, and while we’re at it - do you happen to know whether there is a seahorse emoji?







  • I know several banks who’s apps don’t need Google Attestation. I would also not use a bank that forces an app as the main point of contact as my main one. A lot of banks around here offer a tan-device as an alternative. There’s also a lot of transport associations that offer nationally valid chip-cards.

    I do see why it’s a problem, but I also don’t think that one should let such services dictate their choice of mobile device. I do know that I come from a privileged position, living in a country where I have options.






  • I’m in Germany, and it works pretty fine. They’ve got several datacenters around here, never had an issue with speed or latency.

    I don’t like that they got that evil megacorp vibe, but what big Internet firm doesn’t?

    Well, I need to run two separate tunnels to not run into hairpinning issue, so, some weirdness, I guess. More down to my services, though.



  • Yeah, I feel like we’re missing some info here.

    I have to admit that I have no experience with yuno. Always seemed interesting, but not like something that fits into my work flow.

    If they’re self-hosting at home (which I’m also doing for some services), I’d presume they’re probably running their stuff on a single machine, so I’m not sure where their router would come Into it. The data the cloudflare tunnel process receives should look the same to the router no matter the port it is ultimately sent to, and when it is sent to an address internal to the machine, shouldn’t pass through the router again.
