They also installed their AI apps to users' computers through their mouse driver without asking anyone.

I have no idea why a mouse driver is the single largest program I have to restore my computer.

To be honest, in an emergency, this can easily create the perfect storm.

You know who else sounds like LLM from time to time? ESL - English as a Second Language. People learn English from books, and get introduced to phrases through reading or interacting with others within the same community. So, it sounds like you're using the LLM argument as a way to diminish their voices as well.

I always saw it as a trust-chain and think that anyone is welcomed to create a root certificate and distribute it to whomever trusts them. Most simple services may not need TLS, but with the ISPs eavesdropping on our communication, a form of secure communication is required and the currently best solution we have requires a trust-chain to be built.

In theory there is no difference between theory and practice, but in practice there is. Well, it gets complicated quickly when a wide range of users involved.

And YouTube recently (and silently) started approving multiple in-add ads for videos longer than 20 minutes. They destroyed the long-form content creators with their shorts push, and now it looks like they're trying to recover a little.

Just curious, what do you do with the increasing number of companies that use push notifications as a form of advertising venue, and how do you differentiate the security warning notification from your camera app from their special weekly annual sale notification?

The marginal cost of each notification is so low that companies simply spam users nonstop, and their A/B tests shows that the revenue is increasing. What's being lost though is that we're getting more and more agitated with these brands and their uncapped malicious behaviors. This is also true with their UI and UX as well, they keep adding banners with incredibly small close buttons, because someone will continue with the shopping after accidently missing the tiny button, and that's an added sale, who cares about 99% of users who are fuming with dissatisfaction, what are they going to throw away their $200-300 smart home device because companies abuse them?

Back in early days of personal computers, the instructor told us that a computer just does what you tell tell it to do, though not always what you thought, and making a mistake thousands of times a second hurts a lot.

I think it's about owning the consequences of one's own actions.

Please be cognizant of fake plugins. They replicate entire plugins including the readme files and link to the original repos, but the code itself is different.

I agree, for anyone who's not familiar with it, one is a marketing term while the other is the actual measurement.

So 40 containers carried transported by 20 trucks and then by 3 cargo planes?

Surely you would increase the salary of the current employees if you're hiring new people with higher salaries.

Also, it sounds like the entire premise is "people don't want to work because they're not being paid enough" which is enough of a good reason by itself.

Seems like distros consider it a medium risk because it doesn't involve remote code execution and requires local access. Though it allows local root privilege escalation which is considered high priority.

> Medium: A significant problem, typically exploitable for many users. Includes network daemon denial of service, cross-site scripting, and gaining user privileges.

There's definitely a trend of ignoring prompts and cutting thinking short.

The new trend is that the legitimate corporations sending you spam regardless of your communication settings, or even after unsubscribing for the 10th time.

Yes, I'm looking at you Teal HQ, you're spamming us even 3 months after deleting our accounts.
