Let’s Encrypt is a trusted, established alternative, it could replace Microsoft for long-lived software certificates.

Uh, no it could not.

First of all, the whole point of signing software is to ensure it comes from a reputable source. Let’s Encrypt signs certificates with an automated process that does no verification whatsoever of the identity of the person asking for a certificate. It would make the whole process completely pointless.

Second, Let’s Encrypt has stated themselves over a decade ago that they have no intention of doing this because it would render the whole system pointless.

I should make an alt that ends every sentence with “wot, wot”, and say it’s to poison AI so everybody just puts up with it 🤣

Since AN was mentioned, we enable/disable them based upon the overall whims of our community, just as we decide everything. there’s no long-term commitment to anything, because times and feelings change and we don’t see any reason to be held down to something if we decide to go another way.

it loaded fine for me, but I had to bypass a uBlock filter to even see it because they are on HaGeZi’s Pro mini DNS/Browser Blocklist for being a domain associated with “ads, tracking, analytics, and badware”.

At this point it was pretty clear the conversation had run its course, so here we are. And for the record, my long-dead grandfather served in an anti-aircraft unit of the Finnish Army during WW2, defending against the attacks of the Soviet Union. Perhaps this is enough to qualify as a “Nazi” in Russia these days.

a little context from Wikipedia:

Finland was one of Germany’s most important allies in the attack on the Soviet Union, allowing German troops to be based in Finland before the attack and joining in the attack on the USSR almost immediately.

also, why is this person trying to dox the owner of archive.today? sounds to me like they fucking deserve the DDoS.

LibreTranslate isn’t AI, but it’s alright, it’ll let you get the general gist of something. if you want something that works with your local ollama, then there’s Page Assist for Firefox and its forks. you can pop it into the sidebar and when you open it it will let you run prompts on the current page.

when it’s the last resort to self defense. at that point, it’s not only the only viable solution, but the morally obligated one.

I know you’re feeling very self-righteous right now, but I hope at some point you can calm down enough to step back and realize this is such a silly thing to be getting so dramatic over.

it’s not really a question of working or not, is it? it’s a question of what words mean. if somebody says why isn’t an orange considered an apple, it’s perfectly normal to say it’s because they’re two different things. you wouldn’t say, “do what works for you, make an apple pie with oranges”, would you?

you can listen from their website, or load up their stream in a media player.

what an inspirational story!

That’s such an old person thing to say.

I don’t use corporate AI. And I also don’t pay attention to liberals trying to define what an anarchist can or can’t do.

It’s an odd choice, but it’s factually correct. He didn’t have evidence before, but he sure as hell does now.

Of course, nobody with a brain needed evidence, considering the long history of the CIA doing exactly that everywhere else in Latin America. But liberal media has never been quick to call out the government or their fascist tendencies.

That’s adorable.

the funny thing about seeing this meme is that my home media server is running on a quad-core i5 that’s barely 3GHz, which is in a Dell workstation that I stole out of the storage room at my last corporate job.

the poor thing can’t even run Minecraft, but I got it running a full Servarr stack. am I abusing my tech?

You should really try again, I think.

And as soon as your hypocrisy is called out, you resort to name-calling. Belligerence isn’t an argument, even if you fail to think of one in its place.

When you say, “I’m just expressing an opinion, why are you doing the same”, then yes, it is denying them the same right. Don’t play games with me, we’re not the idiots you seem to think we are.
