There is a morally good and morally bad way to do this. Proton did it the right way. OpenAI is doing it the bad way.

The first paragraph on: https://proton.me/foundation

Proton was created to serve the world, and the non-profit Proton Foundation ensures that this can never change. As Proton’s primary shareholder, the foundation exercises its control to ensure that Proton does not deviate from our mission to build a better internet that serves the interests of all of society. Our legally binding purpose is to further the advancement of privacy, freedom, and democracy around the world.

In contrast, OpenAI seems to be leaving the nonprofit with a minority stake so watch it all collapse under corporate greed, or simply become worse, or squeezed dry after infinite growth investors get their hands on it.

No, why? It’s not like it would hurt them that much. FINE THEM HARDER!!!

I’m hoping we get a persistent jailbreak for the PS4. The current one is not persistent, so I didn’t bother. But I have a 10.50 FW one laying around, just in case.

It’s scary how our corporate overlords watch all the distopian films and are like: Let’s turn that into a reality!

I just started using a namecheap domain that I registered a few weeks ago, and this title scared me for a minute lol

After their CEO being detained and arrested in France because of the illegal activity on his platform, it was a matter of time.

I feel bad for not hearing about it until now. This looks and sounds amazing. Too bad it was killed by stripe and tight budgets.

Employees are getting so expensive, they’re replaced with robot mushrooms? Didn’t see that on my 2024 bingo card.

But it will happen, or at least be attempted if the technology gets there. You just wait for it.

I don’t remember this one, but it gives me strong “Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy” vibes. Am I right?

TLDR: HMD, the company behind modern Nokia phones, is making repairable devices, but software support is only 3 years, so if you buy it 1 year later on sale, and the phone screen breaks in a year or so, it will have less than a year left of security updates. The issue is that the bootloader can’t be easily unlocked either, so no Custom ROMs for you. You’re stuck with 3 years of support.

Fairphone do it right cuz they do software support properly as well.

Somewhat misleading title. What’s actually happening is an ad company that worked with Big Tech had tried to pitch the idea to their Big Tech partners (claiming devices are already listening so why not use it for ads), at which point the Big companies tried to distance themselves from the ads people (in theory). In practice,

Google removed CMG from the Partners Program after a review.

With no mention of whether the removal was related to the evil practices described above.

Second O replaced by LD?

These publishers’ names are:

Hachette,

Penguin Random House,

Wiley,

and

HarperCollins

Time to never buy any book from them again. I’m moving on to pirating ebooks and audiobooks. Sorry JRR and Christopher Tolkien (may you rest in peace), but I’m not buying any more of your books because they were published by HarperCollins. And I’m also not buying a lot of other books too.

Oh fuck. I was just doing a nostalgia-driven rewatch of some shows and they cut me halfway through Total Drama. When it went down, I found the show on Youtube! And just watched it there. But I had other shows to watch too…

Ummm… last I checked your job as an org was to do XYZ with the aim of helping humanity improve, so… fuck you Altman and fuck your bullshit generator(s).

proceeds to quit the cesspool

If I was a lecturer/professor, I’d totally do that.

But also, don’t forget to use adblock!

Is that why he only attacks at the end of the year lol?

Perfect. Right before the start of the new academic year, too!

You just have to make sure you don’t get caught…
