Both combined is perfectly fine when both (or all involved) people specifically want it. It can be a lot of fun as long as youre being safe.

After the Apple ruling basically forcing them to allow side loading, I doubt google would even be able to.

If you have access to the actual files themselves you can even edit them with a text, binary, or hex editor depending on the format.

Bro this is Gpt4All

Its just whatever is built into copilot.

You can do a quick and dirty test by opening copilot chat and asking it something like “outline the vulnerabilities found in the following code, with the vulnerabilities listed underneath it. Outline any other issues you notice that are not listed here.” and then paste the code and the discovered vulns.

I did this recently, scared the shit out of them and they quickly found a spot to turn off and park. I think they thought I was trying to do some kind of pit maneuver to get behind them or something, when I just wanted them off my ass.

That seems to be the direction the industry is headed in. GHAzDO and competitors all seem to be converging on using AI as a force-multiplier on top of the existing solutions, and it works surprisingly well.

Having actually worked with AI in this context alongside github/azure devops advanced security, I can tell you that this is wrong. As much as we hate AI, and as much as people like to (validly) point out issues with hallucinations, overall it’s been very on-point.

You mean to tell me that when someone says that they’re taking a shit, it shouldn’t mean literally turd burgaling?

I wasn’t trolling, but okay. I probably should stop arguing with a bot designed to astro turf for big corporate data ownership.

Getting a little touchy are we? Try deep breaths, it helps with the anger issues 😉

Ahh there it is, I knew you’d do that.

I abide by my own lectures, I am actively putting effort into it and am 99% of the way there, which is 100% more than you.

Been slowly chipping away at those for the last decade (could have gone way faster but I’m lazy), and I’m almost completely google-free. I dont use any microsoft products at home (work forces me to), and Apple can eat my ass. My phone is a completely de-googled GrapheneOS device (I don’t have an issue relying on companies for hardware, just software), and hopefully in the future a Liberux or Pinephone linux phone.

I self-host my own movies, music, and cloud storage. I also host my own chat service for friends and family, built on top of XMPP. The services i do use are generally very privacy respecting like Signal for people outside of my social sphere, or freedom respecting like Lemmy (mostly weaned off of reddit).

Any time you rely on another company to handle your data, you are beholden to their whims, end of story. Don’t like what they’re doing? Too bad. Give up the convenience and host it yourself, or continue to be a slave to their corporate interests.

You can stream remotely via jellyfin if you expose your server to the internet. VPN is safer but not the only option.

Run it on ancient hardware. If it chokes on computers from the '90s, it’s slow.
