I think i remember getting money for each party member so instead of just rerolling stats, create, pool gold, then delete. Gives you a good start and you get something for all the poor stat rolls.

United Kingdom@feddit.uk•UK Government backtracks on AI and copyright after outcryEnglish
211·14 days agoCopyright law needs to change with things becoming public domain much sooner than the currently do, but… If a bunch of billionaires want to profit off someone elses work by using material to train AI, they can bloody well pay fairly for that use, or accept if the owner of that material refuses to permit/license them.
The basic premise that there is some universally accepted ‘need’ to train ai models is just not one i can see as valid.

5·14 days agoI don’t think I understand this. I don’t actually want to pay with my phone, so thats a non-problem to me, but when I can access my bank with a browser on any pc in the world, why do they need attestation on a mobile? I dont see why the requirement is inconsistent.

3·16 days agoI find it irritating that element’s website promotes their origins as the creators of matrix but doesnt anywhere actually give names that could be researched. Yes i could get the directors details from Companies House but frankly its just easier for me to move on and not use their software.

Technology•Hackers Expose The Massive Surveillance Stack Hiding Inside Your “Age Verification” CheckEnglish
61·19 days agogood example that works well on a data minimisation basis when they the need is for some indication of age appropriated trust. There are limits to it though. - to actually satisfy age-gates/verification they would also need to tie your identity to the ownership of the card, and ensure the card isn’t some kind of under 18 prepaid affair.

Technology•Hackers Expose The Massive Surveillance Stack Hiding Inside Your “Age Verification” CheckEnglish
39·19 days agoThis is ridiculous and clearly shows both nefarious intent and complete disregard for the GDPR and it’s core principle of data minimisation. There must be a simpler solution to this - maybe through attestation from a trusted third party who has already (legitimately) verified the user’s identity - like a bank. Imagine a user creating and providing a token that allows a one-time request through the open banking standards to receive an attestation on whether or not the user is over 18 - without disclosing the users actual dob or any other personal information except who and how the attestation was made. Not sure if it would even be necessary for companies to store precisely when the attestation was made if the banks themselves record the event.

Fuck AI•Windows 12 Reportedly Set for Release This Year as a Fully Modular, Subscription-Based, AI-Focused OSEnglish
1·24 days agoApologies for misinterpreting. If you’re games focussed then by all means try mint, but Bazzite might be a simpler implementation.
This might be useful as a intro reference point for your investigations: https://www.xda-developers.com/bazzite-has-me-reconsidering-windows/
I’m sure you could dual boot that as easily as mint.

Fuck AI•A GitHub Issue Title Compromised 4,000 Developer MachinesEnglish
9·26 days agoper the article: “OpenClaw as installed could read credentials from ~/.openclaw/, execute shell commands via its Gateway API, and install itself as a persistent system daemon surviving reboots1. The severity was debated - Endor Labs characterised the payload as closer to a proof-of-concept than a weaponised attack5 - but the mechanism is what matters. The next payload will not be a proof-of-concept.”
I’m not a technical fella, but while this case didn’t seem to do much for the attacker, I’d guess that the openclaw could be instructed after install as part of the same postinstall routine, or it could be triggered at a later date to do something via some form of prompt injection… either way the point would seem to be the application of a new attack mechanic.

4·26 days agois there a list of 3rd party apps? being in the ‘wrong region’ and the linked page just says: “Chats with third-party apps are only available in select regions and may not be available to you.” Changing my VPN to an EU country gives me the DMA version which still doesn’t state which apps they have actually integrated with.

2·28 days agoDual boot with something linux - i can suggest and recommend mint. Thats what i did, and although i still need to boot into windows for work purposes, there is no software that i need privately that requires windows. So my old laptop and media pc run Mint exclusively, and my main pc is dual boot, using Mint for everything but work. I envy your opportunity as a retired sort, to raise two fingers at microslop and any software provider that wont develop cross platform solutions.
