"[...] government by [LLM/"AI"] Computer Says No would only work if the person writing the system prompt knew everything about everyone everywhere."

... And now i have a new paranoid nightmare about the eventual uses of the ever growing surveillance tech on/offline (incl. ad networks, which is the same with a different name). Cybersyn by LLM armed with drones and cyber weapons.
Thank you for that... :blobcatfearful:

Hey,
been using KeePassXC for a while now and its been a blast (much easier for normal folks to use than pass).
But have an issue with odd behavior. Have my wallet, which uses KeeShare to sync to a secondary wallet. Changed to a new secondary wallet (new file) and deleted the old one. Except my wallet keeps re-creating the old wallet while also syncing to the new one... tried reading through the manual but cannot find anything about this there. Any ideas why it is doing this?

I think forgejo/codeberg can do this using "migration" which takes the meta data (wiki, issues etc) as well.
Haven't tried it yet, but is that what you are looking for? I know you were looking at gitea, so this may not apply - as forgejo now is a hard fork of gitea.

While waiting for the optician I had a chat with the technician. Whom is not interested in becoming an optician (so it is not a "using students to save money - though it might further their career" thing even). It is de-skilling.
I now have to trust some LLM to interpret my eyes and not hallucinate the need for surgery (and trust it hasn't been instructed to aggressively up-sell, using the ignorance of the technician to suggest things that are not needed).

Had my first brush with "AI" in the wild the other day. Went to my optician for the yearly check. Consultation started with a literal verbal disclaimer of "I am not an optician, I am a technician, all the questions are generated via AI and entered in an iPad. Our optician will review the results enabling us to service more clients."
I have F'd eyes. So after half an hour the optician was summoned (from which ever windowless room/cage they keep them in) to re-run the tests.

Some days are just right for playing bad early CGI CD-ROM adventure games (ex. Normality or Total Distortion). Games that are obnoxiously rad and 90s dude - best enjoyed in small portions.
Since I have a bit of downtime, was wondering if anyone know of other adventure games like these?
