You either have a mobile, a Linux device or Windows, which has defender by default. The amount of virus fir Linux is relatively low, and mobile…most antivirus are redundant for mobile anyway, so you’re set.

The one thing that went down would be international travel, because the Roman infrastructure was left to rot or became dangerous to use. On the other hand naval travel became more important, the gold standard was replaced by silver, with the exception of the Islamic empires of the time that still used the gold coin as the default.

The years following the fall of the Western roman empire up to the year 1000 were arguably the most unstable and maybe this is where a certain imagery comes from. Even than there had to be local markets.

The evolution of language and culture alone is interesting enough on its own. Than, there’s the whole deal with castle and fortresses. Castles were not these in the fairytales, early castles were settlements reminiscent of your minecraft builds. A set of enclosures, walled of course, with a central building followed by lesser houses and activities.

The kind of castle you’re thinking of used to belong to higher ones like princes or important people, the kind of thing you imagined in the Ivanhoe. The average feudal settlement was the aforementioned set of enclosures, that also served as an administrative layer.

Feudal Lords were absolutely vile in the way they used their right over the people under them. Occasionally even inbred. That is somewhat true. Also the more sophisticated castle were not funny places to be in if you weren’t the right person.

The fbi suggests using an ad blocker. Guess what an ad blocker is as important as an antivirus.

When your entire idea of middle ages comes from people funking around marginalia creatures this is what happens. But the middle ages were an early-capitalistic moment with more dynamism than you’re told. Even under feudalism people must have had personal interocurses, private and economical. Imagine the scams of the time.

Here’s who to hate this time around fellas

Delta accomplishes this pricing through a partnership with Fetcherr, a six-year-old Israeli company that also counts Azul, WestJet, Virgin Atlantic, and VivaAerobus as clients. And it has its sights set beyond flying. “Once we will be established in the airline industry, we will move to hospitality, car rentals, cruises, whatever,” cofounder Robby Nissan said at a travel conference in 2022.

Most peope never read Asimov and it shows.

There was a guide to craft a timed bomb with the f-91w and other common materials. Uploaded by the terrorists. It worked

it’s becoming harder to fully turn off or remove.

They’re going to phase out assistant almost completely, migrating features to gemini. Realistically the privacy of assistant was not better, but gemini uses a fully functional LLM and not a huge if-else-switch statement for standard commands.

I think they have the upper hand over AI companies as they own the internet and youtube for training purposes.

But gemini wants to be my friend if I don’t stop it, and it’s creepy and weird.

I used basilisk for a short while. Very minimal browser, indeed.

But it’s chromium, so you do you. I personally favour anything that doesn’t bloat me. Early on I used opera back on a j2me device, there was also a browser with a nice data saving feature, I had access to all cricket news and cricket sport teams because it was heaviliy featured there, there was a squirrel as a logo but it’s all I remember.

Edit it was ucbrowser

It’s absolutely there,it relaced assistant…

But can modern ai make some creepypasta? Bet it can’t! Clearly cleverbot was superior.

Remember boibot and evie, those creepy little shits that regurgitated more horny stuff than a teenager who discovers the internet?

I imagined. Probably it’s better to have a public one where you have the kind of things they want to see.

Well well this is a recent account after all, so it is possible. Also, I do have a public social media, but it’s either used for messaging or it’s empty (follow - only).

It’s going to be weird when there’s no handle or social media at all. I nuked my social media around 2020/2021, I was legit tired if people posting travel pics and pretending everything was alright. Oh by the way one could make a fake page just for this, but deep down we know we don’t care.

Alright, the site itself is legible, but if you find it hard to read you could use ublock or the archive. is website. It’s also a short article.

AI companies than blog and social-media posts. (Ziff Davis is suing OpenAI for training on its articles without paying a licensing fee.) Researchers at Microsoft have also written publicly about “the importance of high-quality data” and have suggested that textbook-style content may be particularly desirable.

If they want quality data then, don’t kill them. Secondly, if they want us as gig workers providing content for AI, don’t act surprised when people start feeding gibberish. It’s already happening, llm are hallucinating a whole lot more than the earliest gpt 3 models. That means something, they just haven’t thought about it long enough. If a reasoning model gets stuff wrong 30 to 50% of the time, with peak of 75% bullshit rate, it’s worthless. Killing good journalism for this is so dumb.

CSS is mostly evil when you have to center elements in the page.

I know but you see what they’re doing with ai, a small server used for piracy and sharing is punished, in some cases, worse than a theft. AI business are making bank (or are they? There is still no clear path to profitability) on troves pirated content. This (for small guys like us) is not going to change the situation. For instance, if we used the same dataset to train some AI in a garage and with no business or investor behind things would be different. We’re at a stage where AI is quite literally to important to fail for somebody out there. I’d argue that AI is, in fact going to be shielded for this reason regardless of previous legal outcomes.

Cool than, try to do some torrenting out there and don’t hide that. Tell us how it goes.

The rules don’t change. This just means AI overlords can do it, not that you can do it too
