I have also been done in many times by git-filter-repo. My condolences to the chef.

WalnutLum@lemmy.mlto Piracy: ꜱᴀɪʟ ᴛʜᴇ ʜɪɢʜ ꜱᴇᴀꜱ@lemmy.dbzer0.com•Hypothetically, if you had to pay for every item you've pirated, how much do you estimate that would've costed?

What other digital payment system than crypto allows cold wallets?
WalnutLum@lemmy.mlto Technology@lemmy.world•Paul McCartney and Dua Lipa urge UK Prime Minister to rethink his AI copyright plans. A new law could soon allow AI companies to use copyrighted material without permission. English1·2 months agoThis isn’t quite correct either.
The reality is that there’s a bunch of court cases and laws still up in the air about what AI training counts as, and until those are resolved the most we can make is conjecture and vague moral posturing.
Closest we have is likely the court decisions on music sampling and so far those haven’t been consistent, and have mostly hinged on “intent” and “affect on original copy sales”. So based on that logic whether or not AI training counts as copyright infringement is likely going to come down to whether or not shit like “ghibli filters” actually provably (at least as far as a judge is concerned) fuck with Ghibli’s sales.
Living in Japan and being able to walk a block over to the convenience store when I need to print something every few months is the greatest daily life I’ve ever had with a printer.

Like most FOSS it’s a little diy but the features that would allow one to create a 90% the-same language learning experience are all there. There also may already be decks that powerful on ankiweb.
No, I’m pretty sure “try volunteering yourself” is a perfectly reasonable response to “why has nobody volunteered to fix this?”

WalnutLum@lemmy.mlto Technology@lemmy.world•China turns on ‘minors mode’ to keep kids safe onlineEnglish2·3 months agothere are internet filters you can buy
Seems like that’s exactly what this is, it’s a mode that you turn on on the phone and it uses a government supplied list of vetted websites for the kid to visit.
Interestingly the way this feature set reads out is exactly the same way that Nintendo’s parental controls work.
I realize that this being the Chinese government, them keeping usage stats has connotations that go beyond the data itself… But in a country with a more liberal government I’d rather have them keep records of my kids’ internet usage than a private company. The idea being that you can pass protections around that data. (Not that that seems to be stopping the current US government so maybe that’s a pipe dream).
Ideal is, of course, completely on your own hardware (the device or your server at home), but between this and a system where Apple/Google/Nintendo does all this instead I’d prefer the government method.
WalnutLum@lemmy.mlto Technology@lemmy.world•China turns on ‘minors mode’ to keep kids safe onlineEnglish1·3 months agoParents can invoke minors mode with a single click and set usage time limits. Devices set to minors mode will even remind users to take breaks, and collect stats so parents can make sure their offspring are surfing the web in an age-appropriate and socialist fashion.
This sounds awesome. This isn’t the weird shit like some states in the US have for determining if you can log into porn, or South Koreas weird government-login-page-in-everything scheme, it’s part of the parent’s family plan for their kid they can turn on/off.
I realize there’s worrying undertones (that already exist on the Chinese internet regardless) but the actual feature as-is seems like the ideal for this sort of thing.
WalnutLum@lemmy.mlto Technology@lemmy.world•13 Creepy Things Your Smartphone Knows About YouEnglish1·3 months agoSooooo. This is actually scarier than it may seem…
You can tell what outlet or building a phone is plugged into sometimes by micro aberrations in power output.
Also interestingly you can kind of tell what webpages somebody visits by their phone’s power usage:
edit: for stuff like this they kind of need existing power profiles to like compare against, so this is sometimes used to tell if you’re “at home” by identifying the charging profile of the charging apparatus you use at night etc.

This feels even more disheartening combined with the news that subsequent generations get lonelier and lonelier. Are they even going to have the social ability to build local communities?
