As mind-reading technology improves, Colorado passes first-in-nation law to protect privacy of our thoughts
  • It isnt pseudoscience, theres some papers out there on locked in syndrome and they have a system that is very good at reading thoughts with something like 75-85% accuracy. Requires very sophisticated and large equipment to use though, and it has to be trained on each person individually (through things like yes/no answers with blinks or focusing on saying one word, so its not some sort of thing that can just be automatically done, it requires a great deal of consent and concentration on part of the staff and the patient). Its very possible this could be downsized and made more available in the decades to come, its still in the early phases.

    I thought this poll and their previous trans poll were interesting. Blahaj also had a poll with about 40 responders.

    Are there any maps apps that rip data from Google Maps?

    I want to ungoogle myself as much as possible, but I've found that Google Maps is by far the best dataset for maps. I can search 'fast food' and it'll pull up anything related to that near me. I've tried things like OrganicMaps, and while it is blazing fast and very private in comparison to Google Maps, it unfortunately does not have the best information.

    Are there any apps that are kind of like a proxy/nitter like frontend for Google Maps and it respects privacy? Are there any ways to just straight up rip data from Google Maps and pull it into another app?

    Pride?
  • Its just ok. Its mostly just hanging out in a park and is super commercialized. If you're a little more socially outgoing, go around and talk to people and try to make friends. Easier at a bar. Unfortunately, some people got handsy with me at a gay bar before so I'm not a big fan of it anymore. I've gone to pride basically every year since coming out, sans the covid ones where they stopped hosting it for a while.

  • Here’s what we’re working on in Firefox | The Mozilla Blog
  • AI actually can be very good at translating things locally while keeping tone and intent, and thats what mozilla mentions here. I'm fully down with AI powered local translation tools native to firefox, it'll put it way above the competition

    Some LLMs are low enough in resource usage to do this on weak and older PCs

  • Do you happen to know what metadata matrix stores? I assume matrix.org specifically stores email and username, right

  • Dutch woman, 29, granted euthanasia approval on grounds of mental suffering

  • tragic that it doesnt include a gguf or safetensors file for easy access. ill load it up eventually. this would be very useful for invasive animal research
