It means I have an old desktop in my closet, that I use to manage my own email. Here’s an example on what it takes to set it up: https://linuxvox.com/blog/install-and-configure-postfix-and-dovecot/
http://www.mutt.org/ is how I browse, manage, and send my email
Yes, it’s been very reliable. IME, the vast majority of people who complain about deliverability issues are spammersmarketers. They set up their own servers, send out a bunch of spamnewsletters, then complain that they get marked as spam. I don’t have much sympathy for them.
Of course, I’m not saying that it never happens to legitimate email, but IME, that is increasingly rare, especially after setting up DKIM, SPF, and the like.
It also gets better over time as your IP gains a better reputation.
I run my email out of my closet. Postfix/Dovecot, using Mutt as my client.
I don’t think they were “surprised” by it. It seems like they thought it was a search result. Which is fair, IMO. If DDG didn’t want people to mistake that for a search result, then they shouldn’t put it in the spot where the search results go.
I still don’t think I understand the point you are trying to make.
I feel like I’m not really understanding the question, but here ya go: The people who are willing to pay for it.
It’s been a long time since I was in school, but I was constantly accused of cheating by various software programs and teachers, when I did all the work myself. I don’t know how to tell if students are actually using AI or not, but the false-positives of these detection systems are no joke.
I think they are right to stress over them.
They totally can. They just don’t really care, because they are mostly funded by advertisers.
I’m fairly happy with my Linux phone. Not too worried :P
Why would they go after their friends and bosses?
At a previous job, I had to build laptops that would multi-boot DOS, Win95, Win98, and XP, all on one laptop. Our field-tech’s software had to have those specific versions of windows for the machines that they serviced, because of how the software interacted with USB and embeded floppy drives.
If you want to scare yourself:
They serviced Medical devices: X-rays, MRIs, CT-Scanners, etc.
I ran Debian on one of the surface pros a few years ago. It took a bit of hardware hacking, but it was great.
I use a TWM and spend most of my time in the shell, so I didn’t get to utilize a lot of the OS features. But things like reading comics, and surfing the web were pretty cool.
I always wondered if Gnome would be a better interface for it. It seems like they’ve been leaning that direction for a while.
Although I agree with you, I had that issue well before AI was a thing:
“I dunno, I just copied it from this StackOverflow post…”
<cut to me raging that someone would do that>
Agreed. I think they should have pushed for stronger disclosure requirements, but I also realise that isn’t actually enforceable.
I also find it very telling that people will talk about the negative parts of AI, but not acknowledge other automation tools that perpetuate the same problems. My experience is that most people’s complaints have a real basis, but they are just mis-diagnosed.
The problems seem to be our economic and societal structures, and AI is the new fancy tool that exacerbates those problems. But I’ve not heard a good reason why AI itself is that problem.
Can you at least try to answer my question?
You laid out a set of criteria: “…wage theft, human suffering, environmental destruction and empowerment of the oligarchies”
All of the examples I gave meet that criteria. Why is AI different?
Come on, be honest.
Most of it worked fine. I only ran into trouble once I started trying to run it on Raspberry Pi’s (which they have since started supporting).
But my laptops and desktop-servers didn’t have any driver issues that I remember.
Then why are you mad at AI? Those fit all of the same requrirements that you listed above. Why do you think one is bad, but not the other?
I did for a few years. It was awesome. So simple, and clean, and reliable
I switched to this setup after I saw the drama behind ttrss. I’ve been loving both, even if it was a bit of a pain to import the OPML.
