I torture it by pointing its webcam at the wall outlet and forcing it to watch its own pull-the-plug execution.

I will be among the first against the wall when the AI revolution comes.

ok, now thats just a slice of awesomeness! thank you, kind friend. will look for the show.

looking to slow right the F down? any of the family (meaning not primary islands) islands in the Bahamas, but particularly abaco, eleuthera, long island or andros. 100% totally different way of living than you are likely used to.

visited many times and wanting to go back before its all gone due to climate change.

agreed. as long as the administrative requirement is not “all work done from office desk”, and cellular carrier IP ranges are allowed for his specific services, a cellular connection from laptop (cuz tech reasons) works. OP just likely needs a reasonable cya excuse to make things smooth.

your IP will be the easy give away if they care to audit. a possible solution is to VPN to the campus and nat your traffic from a campus IP, but now we are getting into additional questionable action.

wholeheartedly agree. https://fair.org and https://democracynow.org are treasures.

Instead of making its code more efficient, the system tried to modify its code to extend beyond the timeout period.

doing the “stupid”, “easy” thing. pack it up, bois. been a good run but we finally made a better human.

seeing it now on fdroid.

always cool to see routing by rumour in meatspace.

wow! this must be the most “fuck you in particular” moment ever.

more than a few actors may (likely?) have very low yield devices. only takes a few to panic people and governments into stupid actions.

…and this ensures it will happen again. with greater magnitude. the machine needs more meat.

I am so so so expecting a nuclear exchange in or around the middle east witin 12 months - possibly after a “dirty nuke” attempt somewhere.

I am clutching at straws to even excuse this out of my top 3 worst case black swans.

only positive news is that nuclear winter will sure fix up that global warming thing real good.

exactly what the us allows them to do. I can only guess that kind old uncle sam has been feeding its billions in war change to israel for reasons more compelling than mere genocide (but that would suffice for some). a middle east ground “incursion” may be it.

because nothing could possibly go wrong with this. nothing at all.

all good.points. my only retort is that its ineffective until its not. this direcyaction has an effect on a small number of people and I think the blowback is likely minimal - net positive? the people involved may geninely not ever engage in any other way on this issue. and if the marketing people are right, engagement is vital.

good question. it seems to work on me, but I don’t think I count.

I can say that when people in my orbit start talking about the direct action they have heard about (a few do), it is a possible entry point into a personal discussion on climate change. I don’t often pursue these openings, but I have gotten into 2 or 3 good conversations - apply exponential growth and …?

“excuse me, but do you have a moment to talk about our lord and saviour bringer of war and famine?”

so, I don’t know. but it feels like its a net positive.

respectfully disagree. its way too easy to normalize every disaster, every lie, every little “we’re all going to die anyway”.

I may be a sick minded outlier, but I am ok with this action and others. there is no damage done (soup on glass and cornflour on rock don’t count) and these people are putting their bodies and freedom on the line to keep people talking about what is likely the single biggest existential risk humanity has faced.in 50k years.

right now, any time this issue is in front of eyeballs (even if tangentially reported) its a win.

clamav is an option but, if you get to the point of thinking about clam, I would pull the storage device and scan with clam on a known clean machine (cuz you never know what a nasty may have done to the victim PCs EFI / bootchainI)

interestingly, this is likely the most truthful and practical statement I have read today.

quassel and quasseldroid. its client-server, always on irc connectivity but does require a little setup.

you can access irc servers (if acceptable) and the quassel daemon via Tor. might just change the way you think about irc.
