I don’t.
But I take many precautions.
I’ve been pirating software since the C64. About 40 years. Never stopped. Never will.
I buy the good software I encounter. As a developer, i know it’s important to keep funding further development. Unfortunately most is overpriced garbage.
Long story short.
- Be prepared for disaster.
- Scan it. Sandbox it if concerned.
- Firewall inspect/block/allow every outbound comm.
- Get it from a trusted source.
Basically the same stuff you should be doing with all software.
Edit for firewall clarification.
I hear ya. Voting is supposed to help self moderate, but it is just abused.
I think we need to get rid of the voting system altogether. There’s a much better system based on interactions and comment sentiment measurement that in trials on reddit provide better results of floating values posts to the top.
It’s a fire hose of free speech. Block and filter what you don’t want to see. For now.
Censorship is something you can control on a personal level. Just because you don’t like it doesn’t mean that the world should not be exposed to it.
I personally hide 99% of political stuff on Xtwitter. Makes for a cool open discussion on tech and my other hobbies.
Hahaha. Copper top.
I think that what AI may do, for a long time, is enhance our hobbies.
Those who can, do. Those who can’t, AI.
Just like early cryptocurrency, there will be value in work done. Seeing an artist create will be just as valuable as the resulting artwork.
Thanks for doing the work.
Consideration for readers. Remember not everyone lives where you do and has the same access and infrastructure that you do.
Some US states are pushing for EV but do not have the power production needed to support it at scale. Maybe another 10 or 20 years when everyone has a nuclear reactor in their backyard.
I’m all for EV for those that it makes sense. For many, especially the impoverished, it’s just another barrier to overcome.
The report is very light on comparative data. It does look cherry picked. I’d be much more interested in a real piece of research. I do see the point of CCDHs claims. But it’s pretty weak. Free speech has some uncomfortable aspects that the general populace doesn’t want to see. Blocking and filters can help tune the fire hose to your individual preferences. For example on X, I filter all the political out of my feed. It’s not that hard, people are just lazy.
Exactly.
Not everyone is on twitter for the political bullshit. Using banned words it’s easy to filter any political garbage. Twitter is quite useful. But I’m not there to convince or push my ideology on a bunch of polarized people. What a waste of energy.
Fuck off already.
God bless the hackers, crackers, reverse engineers, and disrupters. Pray they help keep you free of too much pain.
Many do provide some form of checksum.
