Unlikely.

The in-house scanning service at the Internet Archive (IA) differs from the licensing agreements entered into by other libraries. These agreements see libraries license ‘official’ e-book versions from publishers, who charge for every book that’s lent out to patrons.

Rather, make Language a required field so I don’t have to spend time blocking users and/or communities who post content in languages other than what I want.

Short answer: Mobile hot spot (w/ your own cellular device) is preferable to public wifi from a security perspective.

There are other considerations, such as how much cellular data downloads cost to you, what sites you’re visiting, what you’re actually doing, etc. In general, it’s advisable to avoid public wifi if you can, but if you must connect to public wifi, then you should make darn sure you connect to the right network (watch out for imposter networks w/ a legitimate looking name) and use VPN (ideally a paid service) to encrypt your traffic. Even with both of these measures, you’re best off avoiding sensitive activities like online banking on public wifi. If you must do banking or other sensitive stuff, either do it on your phone or wait until you get home.

Hope this helps.

Editing to add: When I initially responded, I’d forgotten which community I was in. In this context, I believe the other responses are better than mine, but I’ll keep mine up in case it helps other readers.

Thanks for weighing in. Is there somewhere I can learn more about this? Big Pharma getting rich off tax payer funded research is an often repeated claim on internet forums, and I’d like to educate myself some more on this topic. Thanks!

Aren’t we still vulnerable through VMs, though? I seem to remember reading something about why Qubes OS is safer than a regular VM, having to do w/ zero trust, etc.

Sure, but what’s the claim? I don’t understand playlists for FAST services, nor why an evil corporation would care enough to file a DMCA suit, no matter how frivolous. Is it because these playlists somehow magically block the ads? Do they give non-paying customers access to something normally behind a paywall? Like what am I missing here? Something is not adding up.

I don’t use any FAST services. I know what a playlist is in like Winamp and stuff, but why/how could a playlist be considered a DMCA violation for these FAST services? I read the article, but I’m still confused.

I dunno at what school this photo was taken, but in my day, it was not uncommon for students in dorms to have mini whiteboards on their doors so people could leave messages (often in the form of specific private body parts). Mind you, I went to school before everybody had iPhones.

What I believe we’re looking at here is a photo of somebody’s (presumably Joseph Silva’s) door with a mini whiteboard and someone’s (again presumably Joseph Silva’s) contact info, which happens to be a Lemmy user.

The key word here is Lemmy, which would explain why OP shared this photo on [email protected].

I use a locally run open source LLM.

How? GPT4All + Llama or something else? I just started dipping my toe in locally run open source LLM.

not fine tuning a LLM to match tone and style counts as either misuse or hobbyist use

You’ve hit the nail on the head with this one. I think the other commenters are right, that a lot of people will misuse the tool, but nonetheless it is an issue with the users, not the tool itself.

I wonder how much of it is Disney thinks this might actually work versus the ole delay, delay, delay tactic. Probably a little bit of both.

I started out with Memmy and was kinda meh about it. Not bad but not great. Then I found Voyager and never looked back. As a paid Apollo refugee, Voyager makes me almost forget that I’m on a different platform from the days of yore.

Like this one?

MangoHud is the Linux equivalent of MSI Afterburner. An optional tool called Goverlay is a GUI for configuring MangoHud. To make the overlay actually show up on screen, after you’ve installed MangoHud you need to add mangohud %command% to the game’s launch parameters in Steam. Good luck.

EDIT: Added the correct launch code—thank you, Pelotron.

cross-posted

Minor nit pick, but did you know that Lemmy has actual cross posting functionality?

Either way, interesting study. This is the type of content that I Red er… Lemmy for, so thanks for posting. I use Voyager myself, being an Apollo refugee.

Which chromebooks? if you don’t mind my asking… thinking of going this route, but I’ve read not all chromebooks are created equal wrt installing Linux.

With GrapheneOS do you still get the same quality photos as you would with the stock OS?

Is there such a thing as a Windows live environment? Once in a blue moon I need to boot into Windows, like when I need to reprogram my gaming mouse or something. I’d love to not have to maintain a separate partition on my OS drive that I use like once a year.

Is there any particular project or content creator you vibe with? If so, maybe check out their socials for links to their merch.

Crosspost

Lemmy has actual cross posting ability, right?

Either way, that’s horrible. Here’s hoping they release the body cam footage so we can find out how that happened.
