jasonfrost commented on Why does AI tell you to use Terminal so much?   eclecticlight.co/2026/03/... · Posted by u/ingve

The terminal is also just the easier way to instruct someone to do things. "Just run this" is easier than a step by step guide through UIs which often change.

Like the past several decades of Linux problems, you find some stack overflow answer saying just run this command. Terminal is eternal, UI changes

Companies are getting desperate to show AI adoption as right now the numbers just don’t add up.

Not surprisingly companies are willing to get into bed with more and more questionable use cases if it helps show some desperately needed AI adoption revenue.

Questionable use cases like hyperscalers housing confidential data of military operations? Use case is the same, private companies supporting military operations, as they have for ages.

When I was 12, I watched a redneck in a pickup truck try to race the light rail downtown and cut across the road in front of it, only to get T-boned by the railcar against a nearby station. It was the middle of the day and the guy was definitely sober.

People in the U.S. are simply constructed differently, and as a result I think are unfortunately immune to a lot of the subtle forces that generally help to improve safety in other civilized societies.

Ask yourself if calling him a redneck offers your story anything or if you're just using it as a slur

GrapheneOS works only with Pixel devices, which doesn't make it much useful for the vast majority of Android users.

jasonfrost commented on What your Bluetooth devices reveal   blog.dmcc.io/journal/2026... · Posted by u/ssgodderidge

> We’ve normalised the idea that Bluetooth is always on. Phones, laptops, smartwatches, headphones, cars, and even medical devices constantly broadcast their presence. The standard response to privacy concerns is usually “nothing to hide, nothing to fear.”

I guess anything you send out can be used to profile you.

Some of my friends live on a farm near a semi busy road, however far enough from other farms to not be able to receive their wifi. They showed me their router logging all the wifi accesspoints that appear/disappear. There where A LOT of access points named "Audi", "BMW", "Tesla" etc. similar to those devices leaking bluetooth data. We had a discussion that it would be easy to determine who was passing by at what times due to these especially when you can "de-anonymize" the data for example link it to a numberplate.

I believe shopping malls often use such signals (wifi, bluetooth) to track what your travel pattern through the mall is. They know what section of the store you spend most of your time in and what storefronts you stall at.

There's an Android app that can find devices, make profiles, and you can track location for as long as they're connected. So you can profile passerbys and even get notified when the profile passes through again. I forgot what is was called

Asking to leave a federal contract? Wouldn't that have downstream consequences with future potential federal contacts? If I were the customer I wouldn't give them my business of they pulled out of a federal contract because of politics

I wonder why matrix isn't more widerspread at this point. It's open, it's e2ee, it works, it has client lib for integration with any tool..

What makes it not more popular ? Is it the federated approach ? The client applications that don't look really fancy ?

The tech industry is falling in line just as expected. Disgraceful. Don't take orders from a LtCol with zero military experience.

Direct commission is a long standing practice, especially for technical fields like medical and now electronic warfare. Surgeons may direct commission to varying field-grade ranks as well, with bonus structure to be competitive with private practice. Military outsources these technical degrees to bring in blood in these voids.

Immich is good to replace google photos or even Lightroom Library, but it is bad to replace Flickr.

Does anybody know self-hosting solution to have nice site to show off selected photos? No authorization and users for viewers, no "share" links, but photostream, albums, tags, way to see one photo full-screen. With minimal "chrome" like Flickr can do.

It doesn't need to have photo-organization things, object recognition, etc, which is needed to navigate your full library. Only way to show photos your specifically selected to publish.

Huh? The share feature works with no auth, I wouldn't want it different. Sounds like you just want to build a self hosted website to show portfolio work which... You just make a website
