I’m not acting like they’re innocent either, I don’t and won’t ever use any of them. But if you are thinking about it from the perspective of geopolitical warfare, the Chinese should doubly not trust grok and the US should doubly not trust DeepSeek. Using the adversaries tool is a fool’s mistake outside of R&D.

Everyone conflates “AI model” with “AI platform.”

The truth of the matter is that if you are interfacing with the DeepSeek service, you don’t have control of the version of the model being run, the hidden system prompts, or any co-agents that might modify output before its sent to the user/service.

The model itself could be completely innocent. It may not have had any weights modified and was trained on honest greenfield data. But we control literally nothing about the environment it is running inside of.

It’s good to have it as an option but most people are frustrated if they can’t just go to one place that has tons of people.

That claim lasted for less than 24 hours

I know, it’s been working

I’m so confused. I am on KDE Wayland and have been using push to talk for like a year now. What even is this?

Microsoft makes a hard distinction between Device-Bound and Synced passkeys inside of corporate tenants. They are in fact two different things that happen to be using the same FIDO standard, and can be stored alongside one another in the same app if it supports it.

Also KeePassXC with the browser plugins works a treat for synced passkeys.

We have been rolling passkeys out at work and have been having to explain to our users the difference between “Device-Bound” and “Synced” passkeys.

Synced passkeys are by nature more vulnerable because they touch the internet. They can be stored in regular password vaults and so on, tosses onto google drive, etc. and then get those compromised, and because passkeys come with an extremely high level of trust, that is a fully busted account at that point. As such, we can’t justify allowing synced passkeys on corporate, especially for admin level accounts.

With that being said, for non-work accounts in your day to day life, synced passkeys are going to be the way to go for privacy and data sovereignty, but it moves the onus of protecting that data onto you the user. I am able to handle that, as are many reading this, but a lot of folks do not have the technical prowess to defend themselves. When I am off the clock, I will champion privacy-focused solutions day in and day out. Work can do work things on work’s dime and work’s time, but they will not touch my personal space - I will not abide it.

I’ll be honest - while I would much prefer to use something like Element at work, it is for ethos reasons and not because it is a technically superior product from a user perspective.

I would love for this to draw attention and investment into Matrix/Element, but as it stands the experience is bad. Losing messages in groups due to version upgrades, group ownership and membership is an absolute nightmare, and video calls are miserable if it’s more than just a 1:1 call (and for personal use, it is terrible at game streaming, even using something like OBS to facilitate, but this is unimportant for business).

These systems need a lot more work and it sucks to see the Element CEO brushing the complaints under the rug as “growing pains.”

Teams sucks, but it is far more functional and consistent at this point in time. Can’t wait to fucking ditch it but the alternatives are not great at an enterprise level.

I reinstalled skyrim recently for the first time in like 5 years. I had a bit of a shock when I remembered it released in 2011.

Looking at it now, I am honestly shocked it’s not running at max settings in VR, even on cellphone hardware. This game is no longer anything resembling a technological marvel and runs on basically any modern hardware including the cheapest available options very well.

It’s a compound word, you should slam them together.

A rare time Wikipedia is wrong, I never thought I’d see the day

Proton is packed with more functionality than wine (by nature of being a superset fork), and is wrapped in a much simpler box to open than Wine for the most part, so it gets a lot more praise and user adoption. I love wine and have used it for decades, but prefer Proton heavily at this point for games. I’ll still use wine for desktop apps though.

I imagine Lepton will eventually be super easy to install and get running compared to Waydroid, which I can also attest was a massive headache.

Icefrog maybe?

Beatsaber and VRchat are like the two things that I most often go to VR for. Occasionally I’ll do something else like some kind of gun game like Alyx or H3VR or whatever.

What I’m looking forward to most though is all of the VR mods for pancake games that have been coming out. I have an index but its been rather cumbersome as of late to play it, and I want to do something that is more independent.

Valve can say that its supposed to be a streaming device til they’re blue in the face, and that is definitely a major selling feature for me, but what they made is a Quest competitor, and one that doesnt send excruciating details of my wife, children, pets, and home back to headquarters. It also runs Linux! You can replace that with whatever you want with the knowhow!

I will be using the frame at work in the breakroom, in the woods, and I even read someone mentioning they use theirs for like YouTube while washing dishes and stuff.

Up until now, the quest “didn’t exist” for me, so this is going to be a standalone-first device for me with a pinch of desktop streaming.

In the queue for the 1tb. My credit card is on fire!

I can almost guarantee you that if valve doesnt get it working, someone will via moonlight, ALVR, and/or WiVRn

Normalizing this kind of thing is not okay. It doesn’t matter if its in the TOS, it shouldn’t be a technology in the first place.

You don’t seem to be living in reality.
