I’ve had no complaints about Firefox for Android. It even supports privacy addons like NoScript and UBlock Origin.

A number of my repos are listed.

But the weird part is that it also lists a repo I don’t recognize. The repo does actually exist on my github account, but it’s marked as “ignored”, and the description says it was automatically exported from Google Code. The code seems to be a MacOS shareware file encryption tool called “BitClamp”, published circa 2008.

No idea how it got on my account.

This looks uncomfortable and humiliating. Now if they were to make it in the form of a suppository…

What are you suggesting should have been done here?

“Pissing in the soup” doesn’t really work here unless you’re adulterating the software with something malicious.

To be fair, there are important differences between open source and closed source software.

I’m curious how it’s considered a “layoff” if it’s based on performance rather than the job itself being eliminated.

Reminds me of the old trick on HTML forms where you use CSS to make one of the form fields invisible to humans and reject any submission that filled in that field.

Man it sure is crackers to slip a rozzer the dropsy in snide.

The problem is that an AI built to maximize paperclips might conclude that converting the planet to paperclips is an acceptable cost of maximizing paperclip production. It might understand why humans think it’s bad to convert the planet, but disagree. It would need to be explicitly programmed to prioritize human life over paperclips.

otherwise we would just switch it off

If it were super-intelligent, it could probably trick us into leaving it turned on.

A paperclip maximizer driven by self-preservation? What could possiblie go wrong?

Are there examples of censorship or prior restraint you’d like to highlight?

There is no such thing as an innocent billionaire.

Pfft. Real programmers use butterflies

Almost certainly. You’d have to go out of your way to find a keyfob system that doesn’t. I administer a keyfob system at work, and I can tell you exactly whose key was used on which doors and at what times.

The system almost certainly will record every usage of the keyfob. It may also record opening the door from inside.
