  Over the weekend, I lent a hand at my local library as they assisted a few customers installing #linux onto their laptops that don't support #Win11 . One person I was helped, got stuck while I was answering questions. Instead of waiting they took initiative and asked a big #LLM , and got an answer before I finished. Later on I went about the process of looking up the same question manually, the way I usually do it, it took me about 15 minutes to find the answer. 1/2

  @arstechnica@mastodon.social I’ve suddenly gotten curious about anti-drone electronic warfare. I wonder if there’s a great hardware hacking project I could take up this winter.

  @randahl@mastodon.social just visiting twitter makes you complicit with Musk's agenda through engagement and ad views that makes revenue. I did recently stumble on this browser extension https://github.com/DoingFedTime/PrivacyPlease It redirects any twitter link to Nitter. Also, with Nitter you can generate RSS feeds of any account you still might want to follow. I generally don't like browser extensions, but this is actually pretty useful. Only downside, not on mobile, yet.

  @ppb1701 very good post. It feels like some weird fanboy-ism is ruining everything on the ol' internet these days, particularly the discourse around privacy and security. I'm just not sure what people think these businesses have done to earn their loyalty in the face of valid criticism.
