While I mostly agree, I have used LLMs to help me find some truly obscure stuff or things a normal web search would take a long time to sift through a lot of sources that are too generalized. An LLM can give you the exact thing from a more generic search, then I can take that specific output to find the detailed source.
Now ask DeepSeek about Tiananmen Square
Maybe they were just worried that kids were getting into hacking!
I’ve never used beeper, but I’ve been using Ferdium for years I have all in one app:
Before you ask, the creators were threatened into oblivion. You MIGHT be able to find an installer out there somewhere.
You mean a desktop application? If so you can use the web version, or even better, use Ferdium. It lets you connect to various messaging services and integrates them like a native desktop app.
“Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.”
This was a local instance.
I asked it about Tiananmen Square, it told me it can’t answer that because it can only respond with “harmless” responses.
A few years ago I switched the mail provider for the company I work for from a small MSP provider over to Google Workspace. The reason is my boss’ inbox had an average of 5k+ of spam daily. He even had to abandon one of his email addresses at one point. After switching over to Google that number went to a more manageable few dozen daily.
It’s absolutely a massive problem.
If you get 100 spam emails a day, then without those protections that have been put into place that number would be in the 100s of thousands at best.
Canadian Tire has a habit of asking for all my personal details when I return an item (still in box, unopened. WITH the receipt). I politely tell them it’s never going to happen, and that my personal info is protected by Canadian privacy laws. They usually just nod and do the return.
Ukrainian devs are top notch, to be fair. Outsourcing to there is not an issue.
The last we ever saw of Luke Skywalker was in Mandolarian. We know nothing of Luke’s story after that.
In Mark Hamill’s own words “that’s not Luke Skywalker”
it’s only fair that he at least gets a chance to redeem his failure.
What failure?
No it isn’t. It’s actually an old theory. Back when Microsoft started their “MS Loves Linux” propaganda, this was the rumour. With all the stuff coming out with .Net, PowerShell, and other tools quickly supporting Linux, that seemed like what was happening.
Actually, that did kindof happen, which is what Azure Linux is, but without the extensive compatibility layer.
They’re a bunch of Windows power-user clowns cosplaying as tech experts.
Nuclear. Canada has an amazing(currently growing) nuclear industry. We need to foster that even more.
