Just another reason to grow weed with solar.

Are you accusing me of excusing hypocrisy or crimes against humanity? (I’m guessing not the latter and also legitimately asking)

I feel like one of the more important things to take away from this is the wildly different degrees to which various students use ai. Yes, 90% may use it, but there is a huge difference between “check following paper for grammar errors: …” and “write me a paper on the ethics of generative AI,” though an argument could be made that both are cheating. But there are things like “explain Taylor series to me in an intuitive way.” Like someone else here pointed out, a 1-2 minute conversation would be a very easy way for professors to find people who cheated. There seems to be a more common view (I see it a LOT on Lemmy) that all AI is completely evil and anything with a neural network is made by Satan. Nuance exists.

Let’s talk about privacy, just not any private operating systems because there’s a sub for that, or laws that threaten privacy because there’s a sub for that, or any corporations that try to take away people’s privacy because there’s a sub for that, or our opinions on the concept of privacy because there’s a sub for that so… privacy is, uh, not having people see what you’re doing kinda.

If you’re just worried about people you live with and passive scan type stuff I’d do a LUKS flash drive and a txt file. If you are worried about more active stuff from 3 letters then I still think digital is going to be the best bet, but you’d better use qubes or even dedicate an airgapped computer with an encrypted drive but even that is iffy for a serious anti gov threat model.

Fmdlocator. It can auto reply a text with location to whitelisted contacts.

My opinion generally aligns with those who are saying to talk with them so they have a better understanding and don’t try to be overly strict with parental controls and such.

What I do want to add and don’t see in other comments is that if you want tracking software, you can set up fmd locator. It uses contact whitelisting so if they get a specific text from a whitelisted contact it will automatically text back their location. It isn’t for the use case of constant tracking to see if they’re sneaking out or whatever but if you want something that’s more trust based location sharing.

I use the grapheneos pin fingerprint combo with a longer password if that fails or bfu.

Ollama can pull info from the web using multiple sites, but yes local AIs are more prone to hallucination. Google did release Gemma3 which has a 27B model which is probably the most cost effective way to get into local models that rival chatgpt (if you can call about 2k cost effective). That was why I recommended duck.ai as well, as it has access to gpt and llama3.3:70b which will do a lot better.

You could check out localllama on lemmy to run foss ai models locally, or you could check out duck.ai as someone else mentioned. Your mental health should come first so do what you can for privacy but don’t feel bad about making compromises.

There is an exception to this I think. I don’t make ai write much, but it is convenient to give it a simple Java class and say “write a tostring” and have it spit out something usable.

Same thing could work with a support the police sticker.

I saw “Fuck ICE” written on a bathroom stall recently. I smiled.

A full git commit’s what I’m thinking of

I feel like their is more common. I do deliberately say its for companies because companies aren’t people and don’t deserve people pronouns. Countries seem more like a collection of people, so I use their.

If someone knows more about grammar feel free to correct me.

I just use chromium when needed. Not ideal but usually works in place of chrome.

You do that? I just slam my hand into a different part of my keyboard and try to keep the different cjsbbfhzjksb’s separate. (I typed this on mobile, so my fudjevfkcbw’s aren’t the most accurate).

I looked at your other comments on lemmy for 30 sec and found that you are clearly joking. So glad everyone understands sarcasm.

I was thinking a vibrator from a device with haptics, but if that’s what you want, go for it.
