Red Dwarf did this in an Episode as well where the new AI decides he’s not crew and no longer has a subscription to air.

Yep, French’s

These days firing employees when turning a profit is what makes the stock go up.

Luanti (Minetest) folks.

The modding momentum is picking up quite a bit and as a game engine its far better than Minecraft.

Fuck Meta.

StreetComplete to help fill in the gaps. GeoShare to translate google/apple maps locations to geocoordinates for OSM, and then adding the place in OSMAnd if you login with the OpenStreetMaps editor plugin. This is how those of us who adopted Google Maps early added so much of their data…

I use OSMAnd and the search is a lot better, not sure what client you are using.

The only difference between these maps and their data is the effort by the community to update it. Google doesn’t pay people to update places, they entice them with points and advertising. Google and Apple maps would be no different from OSM if no one updated them

Google maps only ever knew where you were going because Ingress players and Google “local guides” filled in all the data for them.

Update the out of date data. Its not hard and the more people use it the more accurate the places data will be.

Specifically OSMAnd.

AI is opening so many security HOLES. Its not solving shit. AI browsers and MCP connectors are wild west security nightmares. And that’s before you even trust any code these things write.

Fuck that shit. Standards are called standards for a reason. MS can eat shit or comment.

I don’t know a single conservative that likes Trek.

Preventing their shitty brute force protection from allowing someone to get a users MS account password because they are FORCING users to use a non-local account?

The computer would have to store a hash locally to authenticate that account offline, so this is very likely why this is here. Because they’ve enabled a path to brute forcing their cloud accounts without their servers knowing.

The windows shithole is just layers of bad design all the way down.

Great analogy.

That’s fair, and people will use things different than the intention of the thing if it suits them. My point was more to highlight that you cannot group all things where buying and selling happen as “marketplaces” and expect the same protections/moderation etc.

This new tool is to replace the local ads/garage sale like equivalents with something self hosted. EBay is not one of these, regardless of how people choose to use it. As an auction site it is on a different level in both functional and legal experience. You cannot expect that from Craigslist, Facebook Marketplace Kijiji, or you local newspaper ads or garage sales.

But a classified ad site is not a marketplace, and that’s where we need to be mindful of the distinction.

EBay is an exception here, its also not a classified ads site.

EBay is an auction house. Auction houses have stricter rules.

Classified ads is you grandma posting her VCR for sale, or selling your used boat locally. Its a parallel to a newspaper classified section. There has never been any control on sites like this other than “buyer beware”. Craigslist, Kijiji and Facebunk Marketplace are all classified ad equivalents and have zero guarantee or protections usually.

Given these are meant to be local ads, the onus is on the buyer to go to the sellers house and verify what they are buying.

I’m running Kube on baremetal.

Oh right, good catch. That’s me shell scripting while in a meeting. 🫠
