RustedSwitch@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.ml•DuckDuckGo CEO says Google kills competition through phone deals that make it hard for users to switch search engines2·2 years agoSure, but I think there’s still benefit to what the other person did. Search DDG by default, and then if you don’t see good results, it’s one extra click for the google search… vs mousing, clicking, 2 keystrokes…
RustedSwitch@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.ml•John Grisham, other top US authors sue OpenAI over copyrights3·2 years agoHypothetically, ask AI to write a short story in the style of one of these writers. Don’t tell anyone. Get popular, reduce demand for original writer. People only have so much time, after all.
More likely, they just want to be compensated for their “voice”.
Not advocating for either of these… just thinking about why

I’m not being skeptical!
Yeah, I’m content with who I am.
Your assumption regarding my goal is wrong though. I took care to explain my thoughts in a way that didn’t deny the possibility outright. No worries if you missed that, or are skeptical.
I think most can agree (even if you don’t) that the chances of this are just wild. That itself was interesting enough to me that I chose to type out 2 comments. I’m told commenting/contributing is the point of being on lemmy?
Anyway, I don’t know who pissed in your wheaties, but I hope your day improves from here.
Yeah, I’m not saying it’s impossible, just incredibly unlikely.
The number of people out there that fit the description of your mother is low.
The number of people that could have intelligently answered the question is a bit higher, but still low.
The likelihood of those 2 people meeting in a store not dedicated to computer tech, and having this exact conversation, is like… monkeys playing Mozart level unlikely. ;)
RustedSwitch@lemmy.worldto Linux@lemmy.ml•Met a nice lady at the grocery storeEnglish2454·2 years agoI don’t have any reason to not trust OP, but the likelihood of this conversation happening at ALL seems incredibly unlikely. Never mind that it is described as successful.
If true, this is amazing.
Is there a card I can sign?

I expect OP just wants to see the post without giving meta their data.

RustedSwitch@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.ml•Every Phone Should Be Able to Run Personal WebsiteEnglish22·2 years agoYou are commenting as if everyone who would turn this feature on would have the technical acumen to understand how any of it works.
RustedSwitch@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.ml•Every Phone Should Be Able to Run Personal WebsiteEnglish3·2 years agoHere’s what I’m imagining. The phone is listening on port 80, probably running some jacked up plug-in to play a favorite song. The user probably installs it and then forgets it’s there. The plug-in becomes severely out of date, running code with multiple zero day exploits. In the best case scenario it is running your battery down and using up your bandwidth, it’s commonly just unavailable because your metro area cell network is jammed so your visitors can’t access the site at all, and worst case it can be tricked into running local scripts that do nefarious things.
Another that you didn’t mention: The wall meets the ceiling in different places on either side of her head
