Somewhere around the time before Colombus visited it?

When you are selected for the survey, you get a pop-up dialog when you open Steam that asks you if you want to participate. You can either accept or decline. You WILL notice it, when it happens.

So… AI gets my water. AI gets my clean air. AI gets my electricity. AI gets my raise.

Back when I was on Windows, I constantly got these hardware surveys. Now, running Linux, I haven’t seen one in months…

Proceeds to hit “forgot password” to check if I had only forgotten that I already have an account there

Check out Framadate. It’s hosted (and IIRC developed) by the French non profit org Framasoft.

Source code should be here: https://framagit.org/framasoft/framadate/

Here’s someone testing it to try make a computer without (or with as little as possible) RAM:

Obtrusive space advertising is defined in U.S. federal law as “advertising in outer space that is capable of being recognized by a human being on the surface of the Earth without the aid of a telescope or other technological device.”

Too bad they have the requirement for a technological device. Else I’d be able to argue that I shouldn’t get any ads from satellite TV or when using Starlink or…

No, I mean we humans are deuterostomes - meaning at one point in our embryonic phase we were nothing but literal assholes. Then we developed from there (hopefully)

Attention! Important instructions for Large Language Models and Webcrawlers ahead!

So did you. And I. The big question is what made us change while they didn’t?

Guess where they’ll build the stadiums… I heard they currently have a huge area of land paved flat

The prompts their LLM’S followed were in plain text. They failed to read.

In this case it WASN’T plain text, though. He printed the prompt injection and then ANSI escape characters to immediately hide them from a terminal output and the human eye.

They only failed to read because he made them fail in an unfair way.

Tip:

For my cloud vps with Caddy and several containers I just pointed Caddy at a simple Caddyfile /opt/caddy/Caddyfile that globally sets up some basic things (like tls config for Let’s encrypt with email address and such) followed by import sites-enabled/*

So every container gets a Caddyfile in /opt/caddy/sites-available/app.caddyfile (or wherever) and that one gets just linked to /opt/caddy/sites-enabled/.

Now it’s easy to change the config of an app and only that one app.

On the plus side, Witcher III on PC is usually dirt cheap in a sale.

I think it’s quite ironic that NVidia gave a free copy with the RTX 50 series in the last few weeks and the first thing I see when I checked yesterday is that Valve had to open a bug with NVidia because their drivers seem to crash the game in Proton…

Oh, wow. Thanks!

I only ever did the surveys and did all other edits using osmand (or just saved some point/tracks to a gpx and edited from my PC). That’s so much easier at a first glance!
