I had a mild obsession with Deluze just out of college, and to this day I do not really know for sure that I understand his work as he intended it.

Data should be socialized and machine learning algorithms should be nationalized for public use.

This has to be the greatest troll I’ve ever seen or else I’m a filthy commie.

ZIONIST PROPAGANDA! FUCK YOU TOO!

… and they’re discontinuing support for windows 10…

Everyone paid for a windows os, but they’ve been forcing upgrades for what I assume are completely unrelated reasons

I didn’t even realize how repulsed I am by Google until I saw this. I don’t have any interest in putting another data collection device in my home, especially not one that I don’t have control over.

Lmao when Democrats do a bad thing it’s left authoritarianism lol

I think you could have picked a more difficult metric, this is something i’m pretty sure the BD robots can actually do.

🤷

I don’t mean ban evasion, I mean posting about it on another instance

It just looks a lot like posting about a break up. Usually you get only half the story and the other person is made out to be crazy

I have no opinion about the particular circumstances of ops ban or anyone else’s interaction with lemmy.ml, but posting through a ban just never looks good

A whole comment section posting bans looks… worse. It looks worse.

Fair enough.

Personally I use a shield, but there’s nothing about it that precludes the possibility of tracking. If all you need is to connect to jellyfin on your home server, you might be able to install something like tailscale on it and use a firewall to block any other connections.

I don’t think there’s a ready made solution though

I don’t think AI does what you think it does

You were talking to a teacher who probably couldn’t afford to pay rent if he ever quit his job.

A raspberry pi would probably do it honestly

Couple things:

• Most people aren’t aware of these terms when purchasing, installing, or acquiring a home with these products. Removing and replacing devices throughout a home is expensive and time consuming, and they assume (rightfully) that most people won’t go to the trouble
• Even if you are aware of products that may require internet access or poll home to work, it’s still difficult not to end up with them in your house anyway. Try buying a tv or bluetooth speaker without smart features today - it’s not as easy as it should be. And there’s no guarantee that even locally hosted products will stay air-gapped in the future. Why should we normalize the practice now?
• most of these products start out as cheap and noninvasive options when they hit the market, and switch their ToS and brick their products through firmware updates without internet connections (e.g. Hue bulbs)

That said: of course i advocate against these brands. I have several zigbee dimmer switches ready to swap out with leviton already. But that doesn’t mean this information shouldn’t be widely circulated when it surfaces, so that other people know the landscape better when they go to purchase.
