Discord customer service data breach leaks user info and scanned photo IDs in c/technology@lemmy.world

Absolutely! I brought it into another group for corporate stuff and it was great. We also used it over COVID lockdown for games with another group of friends.

I'll do more research on Matrix and see if i can set something up for a truly seamless transition. Thanks for the suggestion!

I tried getting my friends to move to any other chat client but the thing that keeps them on discord is the screen share. Like it or not, this feature is what's locking people in as a one stop shop game streaming chat.

Sam Altman admits OpenAI ‘totally screwed up’ its GPT-5 launch and says the company will spend trillions of dollars on data centers in c/technology@lemmy.world

Nah, they deserve a free therapist or at least access to affordable mental health programs.

This CEO laid off nearly 80% of his staff because they refused to adopt AI fast enough. 2 years later, he says he’d do it again in c/technology@lemmy.world

No, I disagree. The CEO is by far the most replaceable person when it comes to AI if the directive is to simply make more money for shareholders based on market research. I would argue that the CEO is being a parasite here.

WTF America?

Meet the AI vegans. They are refusing to use artificial intelligence for environmental, ethical and personal reasons in c/technology@lemmy.world

[–] redwattlebird@lemmings.world 8 points 2 months ago (3 children)

AI vegan is not a thing and shall never be.

The correct term is Technophile. Anyone obsessed with tech would never hand it off to a third party to do when they can go through the joy of learning themselves.

I dual boot. It's so painful to go back to windows but some work related software doesn't run at all in Wine. Perhaps I should VM W10 or W11.

AI chatbots are becoming popular alternatives to therapy. But they may worsen mental health crises, experts warn in c/technology@lemmy.world

This is what happens when mental healthcare is not accessible to people.

Why privatise though? Or if you do privatise, pass legislation to make data trading illegal unless you pay the person whose data is bring traded or make it outright illegal. Or figure out a way to make the data completely useless. Perhaps banning advertising and marketing or limiting what they can do. So many possibilities for a better future than this.

Probably the more desirable dystopian future, to be honest.

How about... People are paid as age verifiers. Win, win. More jobs, lower chance of data being stolen, maybe more awkwardness if you came across your partner on the other end of the teleconference call.

Or, how about this, bring back porn theatres. Industry gets paid from ticket sales, you have a ticket person who can ask for ID.

Also, is porn really that damaging to kids? I remember when there were videos circulating from beheadings and that was far more traumatising.

Collective Shout Purge Sees Horror Games In Crosshairs in c/technology@lemmy.world

I feel like even those games will be banned if we don't stop them now. My thoughts are that games like 'I am Jesus' is the end goal here.

[SOLVED]Unity Hub hangs at login: what terminal commands can I use to see what it's doing? (lemmings.world)

I switched to a Linux Mint/Win11 dual boot system over the weekend and installed Unity from Flathub. Running Unity Hub is fine but when I try to login, it hangs with no errors. I can log into the asset store just fine, so nothing wrong with the credentials. I'd like to know what terminal commands I could use to see what it's actually doing and figure out why it hangs.

I really don't want to continue using it in Windows and only keep it to run work programs, and really need to use Unity for University.

Edit: Troubleshooted via the terminal, then uninstalled the .Deb package that I downloaded from the Unity website and then followed another tutorial from another part of their website with terminal commands. Managed to log in and run my projects.
