Sometimes you have broken websites/apps so you gotta copypaste. Sometimes they even have fields where you can't paste either (K9mail on android) (I cry in 64 char password).

It'd be an interesting feature for a password manager to issue a system call to purge clipboard history on copying a password. Lots of password managers aren't just browser add-ons but full desktop apps

I think it's more the Before Internet, or at least before Eternal September.

Before AI people were still able to question results searches gave them and had the option to keep investigating. You can't really do that with AI, it encourages a question-answer format.

I've taken steps to degoogle too, but like you I've rather stuck on Android because over the years I've ossified a set of tools I like (KeepassDX and Syncthing are really important, and Firefox on Android is actually damn good).

I don't know how anyone can trust these things at all.

What I want: a balanced, nuanced, deep engagement with a topic I don't already have mastered that may need to challenge my intuition or require of me some effort to research and correct my conception.

When I ask it to explain something I already understand quite well, which there is no broad public consensus about or the public consensus is known to be based in misconception, I will tend to get the public consensus view that there's no clear answer or provided an answer based in the misconception.

When I make it at all clear about what my conception is, I'll get a confirmation or reinforcement of my conception.

If I play a bit as a character who believes the opposite of my conception, unless my conception has a very, very clear basis in public consensus, I will get a confirmation or reinforcement of the opposite of my conception.

Why should I trust them in fields I'm not an expert in, given this? They want to please and serve rather than challenge you or inform you. Even when you ask them to be blunt and factual they do the theater of those things and not the substance. Their basis in Human linguistic outcome dooms them to pretend to be human which means people-pleasing or social-consensus-finding goals over truth-finding goals.

What you are describing is human interactions with another human who is knowledgeable in that specific field. AKA the before-AI.

Tried it, and found out I had disabled it in the past, and it fortunately has stayed off trhough updates.

How does it deal with usernames/passwords/secrets in the clipboard? Do you clean it up periodically?

Use a password manager/passkey so you don't have to do this

One thing that I love about Windows (and there aren't many others) is that pressing Super+V (instead of Ctrl+V) shows a list of last N clipboard entries and you can select which one you wish to paste. Simple and very effective.

You can also pin some entries so that they are permanently available, but that's a bonus.

I haven't seen a clipboard manager behave like that in Linux - can this one be used in a similar way?

pluc · a day ago
Yup as others have said, super+v for me invokes greenclip's rofi plugin which gives me a nice themable clipboard history overlay.

This shows once again that Unity is an unreliable option for new projects. The worst part is not the 4% fee, but the bluntness with which Unity has administered these changes. They show that any terms can change at any moment.

Full disclosure: I'm currently in a leadership role on an AI engineering team, so it's in my best interest for AI to be perceived as driving value.

Here's a relatively straightforward application of AI that is set to save my company millions of dollars annually.

We operate large call centers, and agents were previously spending 3-5 minutes after each call writing manual summaries of the calls.

We recently switched to using AI to transcribe and write these summaries. Not only are the summaries better than those produced by our human agents, they also free up the human agents to do higher-value work.

It's not sexy. It's not going to replace anyone's job. But it's a huge, measurable efficiency gain.

You could do that offline 20 years ago with Dragon Naturally Speaking and a one-time licence.
pluc commented on Why are anime catgirls blocking my access to the Linux kernel?   lock.cmpxchg8b.com/anubis... · Posted by u/taviso

It's a good question. Anime (like many media, but especially anime) is known to have gratuitous fan service where girls/women of all ages are in revealing clothing for seemingly no reason except to just entice viewers.

The reasoning is that because they aren't real people, it's okay to draw and view images of anime, regardless of their age. And because geek/nerd circles tend not to socialize with real women, we get this over-proliferation of anime girls.

This also was my best guess. A "victimless crime" kind of logic that really really creeps me out.

Can we talk about the "sexy anime girl" thing? Seems it's popular in geek/nerd/hacker circles and I for one don't get it. Browsing reddit anonymously you're flooded with near-pornographic fan-made renders of these things, I really don't get the appeal. Can someone enlighten me?
