I’ve found his videos pretty on point in the topics that I’m familiar with.

I’d need more evidence of misleading information than ‘A popular content creator receives an investment’. That’s not proof.

It’s not even implied by the evidence presented outside of an implied conspiracy not built on anything other than a press release.

There may be evidence of foul play somewhere, but it was not presented here.

Thanks!

I wish the forums software would recognize links to other instances and add the correct reference (kind of like how it links to the original comment next to the poster’s name.

The domestic response Donald Trump’s destruction of all of our alliances are giving these other countries the backbone to do the kinds of regulations that bribery have kept away from American tech companies.

Alphabet, Amazon, Meta, X, should be next.

Why is an online book retailer operating datacenters? How is a search engine 90% of the digital advertising market?

Monopoly powers and corruption, that’s how.

It’s possible that this is what happened.

9TB of torrents isn’t a huge amount, I seed more than that in just a few weeks on a personal/small group seedbox. You could download 9TB in an hour or two if you had a datacenter’s link speed and hardware.

Yes, exactly.

I know they don’t teach this in outrage school but making negative generalizations about a gender is bigotry, misandry specifically. It doesn’t become any less of a negative generalization about men if you add a a few qualifiers.

I made a negative generalization about misandrist Blahj users and you got upset. Unless you are actually a literal misandrist Blahj user and were upset at me calling you out specifically then the comment wasn’t about you and yet you felt compelled to reply. It seems like you get the point.

Is this any better?:

70% of all blahj users are Misandrist.

Does the percentage makes it less of a negative generalization or do you understand the point that I was making?

They advertise and are professionally licensed. Many specialize in counter-surveillance.

Other then the advice to “look”, theres not much you can do.

To do this in a way that will locate well-hidden devices you should hire a professional who owns the right tools.

Otherwise, install kismet and monitor for unknown BLE and wifi signals and use video surveillance to detect people attempting to remove passive devices.

You won’t be able to locate devices that use other wireless technology without specialized tools.

If this is a serious worry then hire a professional

You can set it to default to the Subscribed feed in your settings.

Hire a private investigator that owns all of the tools

A thing broke, yay

e: Ahem, I mean: A thing broke

yay

Misandry and blahaj users, a match that keeps on matchin’.

But wouldn’t their IT infrastructure block random employees from running torrents on the network?

Not if the employees in question control the IT infrastructure.

I’m sorry that you read that as an actual literal argument instead of a satire comment

In the same spirit of pointless gatekeeping.

You only pressed the buttons. That’s hardly any of the work required for your text to show up on all of our computers.

You didn’t translate the pulses from your key switches into USB signals, or write the kernel code which translated those inputs into scancodes, or write the browser code which displayed the form box that packaged your text into an HTTP POST request. None of your work went into the firmware on the routers which carried your data and you didn’t do a bit of work burying the cables between those routers.

I haven’t check but I’m pretty sure you’re not a datacenter employee in Finland so you don’t contribute to the labor required to manage the servers, you probably don’t contribute to the Lemmy project or Mozilla/Chromium projects.

Your post is the result of a huge amount of tools, services in infrastructure that you had no hand in inventing, deploying or maintaining.

All you did was provide a few grams of force to some thermoplastic and sparked a few neurons.

All of your interaction with technology is mediated by other technology.

We all understand that when we say ‘I went on the Internet’ we’re not picturing a person, with no technological assistance whatsoever, inducing current into a wire in encoded pulses according to IEEE 802.3 and scratching the resulting HTML in the dirt with a stick.

So, when someone comes along and says ‘Well, actually, you didn’t do anything because YOUR BROWSER went on the Internet.’ it isn’t actually describing a difference.

Here, the comment isn’t making any argument on why this differentiation matters. It’s just changing the framing to bait anti-AI engagement.

They likely also used other technology, like an IDE, syntax highlighting, auto completion, a linter, git, a programming language that they didn’t invent themselves, libraries made by others… etc.

Implying ‘if they use x tool’ then they didn’t build it is pointless gatekeeping that doesn’t add anything to the discussion except create an on-ramp for more anti-ai bot content.

Did they build it though? Sounds like vibe-coding to me

Did you type that sentence though? It looks like keyboard manipulation to me

On one hand you have a soul sucking corporation who’s purpose in life is to profit off of the work of musicians and on the other side you have an AI company.

Sony isn’t doing this to help artists, they’re doing this so that they can demand more rent.

Exactly.

It’s one thing for Reddit to be taking action against automated posting and just be doing a shitty job. At least they’d be TRYING to fight against this source of toxic societal corrosion.

It’s a whole other kind of immoral to see that their anti-bot activities are simply cover for the enforcement branch of their ad sales department. Bots are not against the rules at all, spamming communities to create false consensus is A-OK with Reddit as long as the check clears.

Fuck Spez even more. I heard he was a moderator on r/jailbait for quite some time, btw

sudo sysctl net.ipv4.ip_forward

sudo sysctl -p

Those do not enable forwarding. One prints the value of forwarding and the other loads the config file.

To set it temporarily

sudo sysctl net.ipv4.ip_forward=1

To set it permanantly, edit /etc/sysctl.conf (or add a config file to /etc/sysctl.d/). You only need to add one line that reads ‘net.ipv4.ip_forward=1’

The bigger news here is that Reddit, as a policy, allows bot posting (organic posting) as long as you’re buying ads from them.

Stealing them is felony grand theft.

Vandalizing them is a misdemeanor (typically, check your local laws and also don’t do crimes).

If they were all stolen, it’s an easy PR ‘woe is us, think of the children’ win for Flock.

If there’s a bunch of social media posts that are showing chopped down flock cameras just laying on the side of the road then it has better optics from the point of view of ‘We don’t want country-wide surveillance networks’.
