4·10 days agoI first read that as a hitman image format.
I hate software that doesn’t support Unicode, and it’s also not difficult to implement. At one point I wrote a dll that hacked a way how one app was handling filenames, to force it to use CreateFileW instead of CreateFileA. Just that allowed it to support Unicode filenames basically.
21·22 days agoThat’s a neat way to miss the good point about server side solutions. Which would be the absence of intrusive client side code.
You developed software and games? Well I cracked them haha. Have fun detecting puny exploits like 3rd party processes. Moving data our of PC because it could be stolen by cheaters or kernel level something? That’s where your acceptance of all of this have led you.
Any server-side anti-cheat really. You might argue they don’t exist but that’s the whole point. They will become effective once they start to develop, and maybe we are actually seeing that now.
Didn’t read past first sentence. Don’t want to waste my time with a kernel level anti-cheat fan.
Counter (simplier) hypothesis: people who don’t care about how they negatively impact other people’s experience are overall scumbags.
That source is biased. However looking at their ban types, behavior type is less than 5% probably. I’d imagine it should’ve been majority for an anti-cheat that works well.
Please provide factual evidence, not hearsay. That’s % cheaters detected vs % cheaters not detected scaled by the overall player base.
Yeah good luck providing such evidence for any kind of game or anti-cheat.
Personally, I hate kernel level ac and it made me actually stop playing few games and avoid similar ones. Had enough of mere games screwing up with my PC through EAC and EAC ignoring my reports for years.
Nintendo is no worse than Microsoft, Sony, Steam, I could go on and on.
But that statement is incorrect. Nintendo does too much to harm game preservation, much more than any other company.
I know this is probably not helping but ideally you’d want to go through this process
If this process is not working people might want to report on it.
To me, it mattered quite a lot when WhatsApp dropped Electron. I can now keep it running all the time without feeling bad for my PC, even if just for rare times when I actually need it. I still think it’s a hot garbage though.
What do you know about heavy lifting? User would never use a non-slick interface without cOoL animations. Those thousands of CSS layers won’t render themselves.
Gee, Brain, whaddya wanna do tonight?
Don’t know about age verification, but revolut and crypto likely require manual review. I can’t imagine google relying on the same process and assuming it will help to deter malicious actors.
Yeah, how would they verify that uploaded documents are real?
Should that help people who were unfortunate to install that malware before the dev is banned? Also how exactly do they hope to identify the dev as already banned if he tries to register again?
Is there any explanation why this will be effective? Like, “if we find a malware app, we will do this and that to the author’s personal data, and it will help you in that way” etc.
11·2 months agoDon’t feel like spending time on this anymore. To me you are not different from idiots who destroys information once they can’t sell it anymore, who sue webarchive, who calls pirated copy a lost sale, who shut down game servers etc. LLM might be worse than those but Perplexity is certainly a lesser player in the field.
Both intellectual property and real property have laws already that cover these very items.
And it causes a lot of trouble to many people and pains me specifically. Information should not be gated or owned in a way that would make it illegal for anyone to access it under proper conditions. License expiration causing digital work to die out, DRM causing software to break, idiotic license owners not providing appropriate service, etc.
Well, does a user burn up gigawatts of power, to access my site every time?
Doing a GET request doesn’t do that.
As long as it doesn’t cause problems for me, the creator and hoster of said content.
What kind of problems that would be?
Both power usage and causing problems for me.
?? How? And what?
do not want my content and services to be used by and for LLMs.
You have to agree that at one point “be used by LLM” would not be different from “be used by a user”.
which charges 8.99/month
It’s self-hosted and free.
Use the RSS feed, if you want updates.
How does that prohibit usage and processing of your info? That sounds like “I won’t be providing any comments on Lemmy website, if you want my opinion you can mail me at [email protected]”
I can just block them, via a service like Cloud Flare. Which I do.
That will never block all of them. Your info will be used without your consent and you will not feel troubled from it. So you might not feel troubled if more things do the same.
None. Unless you’re wanting to access if via an LLM. Then I want compensation for the profit driven access to my content.
What if I use my local hosted LLM? Anyway, the point is, selling text can’t work well, and you’re going to spend much more resources on collecting and summarizing data about how your text was used and how others benefited from it, in order to get compensation, than it worths.
Also, it might be the case that some information is actually worthless when compared to a service provided by things like LLM, even though they use that worthless information in the process.
I’m all for killing off LLMs, btw. Concerns of site makers who think they are being damaged by things like Perplexity are nothing compared to what LLMs do to the world. Maybe laws should instead make it illegal to waste energy. Before energy becomes the main currency.
Time to feed my babies.
