    Roger that. Thank you for the clarification that you meant the actual term, and not just the fact of no mandatory payment and it having an the source available for public.

    I get what you mean, yet frankly, I do not believe such projects may be always free that are supposed to always be up-to-date for another system they have no official relation to, and keep it as a responsible hobby other people depend on.

    It is free and open-source on Desktop at this moment.

    Keyguard is a commercial app and unlocking a premium funds its further development and supports me (Artem Chepurnyi) directly. As of right now, only the Android builds distributed via Google Play store have main features locked behind a paywall, other distribution channels have a build with everything unlocked.

    But it makes sense to pay for it, since Bitwarden is a constantly changing system and these projects based on it must always be up-to-date with their API changes, too. This is time and worry consuming, and should be compensated.

    Of course they do, absolutely.

    If it helps/supports/carries a disabled/invalid miraculous Individual, Person, Human to express themselves better, communicate easier, feel themselves more humane and alive, please do install and try it!

    Yet, at this point, I do not believe AI-driven tools for disability should be installed by default to everyone, as if suggesting all people are too disabled by default.

    Healthy People should be proud and appreciate they are not, and do get yourself together, and do better. We deserve to be better.

    Here, I do get what I mean, since I am myself physically mute, a car accident, which I rarely expose but recently mentioned:
    - https://gist.github.com/serious-angel/738ff60d2cab20ae35c02fd6d0499047 (Lobsters staff ruined my reputation, do not respond, and I have no idea why…)

    The mute trait is quite a challenge… and one of these is being constantly called out as “AI” or “bot” for my formatting or effort/time I invest into textual messages, I believe, in hope to stay more social…

    The most recent example at Lemmy:

    Will they then then replace everything with AI, gradually, including the calculator, image viewer, video player, browser?
    No, I will never want AI in my machine pre-installed, even remotely.
    I’ll always prefer deterministic and accurate, transparent.
    There are stable synthetic narrators already with no AI.
    Those who like AI, may install AI.
    No, fudge it. Delete it dead.

    Taking away the learning, the sense of progression and the very soul of things.
    I’m not convinced.

    Of course! Absolutely! Always!

    It’s impossible to be “convinced” by this utter narrow-minded, degrading, obliterating, permanently damaging sorrow…

    Art has meaning, weight, priceless value, the purpose… only when it’s of a human work…
    Regardless, whether it’s an asset, texture, shape, shader…
    This is all what is to be preserved in the history…
    Of the history of us, miracles, human…

    It would then have a Human’s name on it…
    Who lived, learned, experienced… and expressed their unique view in a work to pass further…
    The artist’s name may not be advertised, but it would exist and always possible to find to glorify…
    Since isn’t it one of the main purposes of Art? To achieve, experience, to express and learn from each other…

    Now, it has no name on it. It’s empty. It radiates with screams and cries in painful sorrow… of unknown effort and love now decimated and passed through an algorithm of shallow hopelessness at vacuumed void…

    If I ever see anything related to AI in any art-related subjects, I don’t even consider it but skip it - it’s a disgusting empty noise that does not deserve any human time nor effort.

    All these “AI” infestations are pure awful disrespect to our ancestors, the Human history… and our dear future…

    And I will never consider it. It would mean death to me, since there’s no hope nor purpose in it to live for.

  • Technology@lemmy.world•OpenAI’s “ChatGPT for Teens” Is an “Unsafe” Mess: "It is incumbent for OpenAI to earn the trust of parents and to show them, not just tell them, that this product is safe for teens to use.”byArtwork@lemmy.worldEnglish

    Let’s check the following:

    Virtually all social systems are open systems; that is, they are not only influenced by their environments, but also are dependent upon them. Organizations such as schools are opensocial systems. They take inputs from their environment (resources) and transform those inputs into outputs (products of various kinds)…

    Feedback loops supply information back to the transformation process so that the process can be evaluated and adjusted…

    The school social system has five basic internal elements - structure, individuals, culture, politics, and the teaching and learning core. These system elements interact and transform inputs into outputs…

    Social-systems theory is useful in describing the recurring structures and dynamic processes in educational organizations.

    Since isn’t the most important reason for these to help a person to socialize and get used to respect, care, tolerate, or live and do their research within other people ultimate infinitely magnificent uniqueness?

    Socialization process has a significant impact on learning, which is a basic requirement for both the organization and the role performance of the newcomer to the organization. It is considered very important for a new member to socialize organizationally and professionally. This paper focuses on revealing the process of organizational and professional socialization of academicians.

    Friendships can positively impact students’ academic performance and grade point average (GPA) by providing emotional support and reducing stress, thereby leading to improved focus and better concentration on studies.

    Peer connections and friendships often result in collaborative learning and the exchange of academic ideas, improving comprehension and retention of course materials, ultimately leading to higher GPAs…

    Academic success is assessed by gauging academic performance in the form of grade point average (GPA), test scores, and overall academic achievement, as well as the measurement of academic motivation and the level of persistence among students in school or college.

    Forming friendships with their peers is an important aspect of adolescents’ and young adults’ lives, and significant research has been conducted on how friends impact academic performance and motivation. Specifically, academic achievement and motivation have been found to positively correlate with belonging to a peer group.

    Currently, young people’s need for a sense of community is particularly high, leading individuals to spend more time with their friends, feel more comfortable around friends than they do with family, and worry about how their friends will perceive them and how the local social milieu will view them.

    Researchers’ concerns about how social networking sites affect different aspects of life, including education, are not surprising. Academic achievement has been linked favorably to social connections or peer interactions in the past.

  • Technology@lemmy.world•EU Kids Act Won't Keep the Internet Accountable and TrustworthybyArtwork@lemmy.worldEnglish

    One of the most irritating aspects of the “EU Kids Act” is that a single, technically questionable measure is being treated as if it could solve a complex societal problem. Education and the development of digital literacy cannot be mandated by bureaucratic monstrosities detached from reality.

    Just as in real life, children and young people need to learn to recognize risky situations, set boundaries, and seek help. Regulation should support them in this, but it cannot replace these skills.

    Source: https://www.ccc.de/updates/2026/kids-act [translated from German via Google]

    Of course, absolutely…

    Even at USSR times, children were safer and much more educated, self-confident, self-sufficient, or even more free back then. They were capable to think with their own head, make choices, believe in their decisions. They were capable and mature.
    They were disciplined and had a direction for a better life.

    Now? Most of the children are dependent or even addicted, uneducated, have organization and health issues, and rarely decide themselves but rely on trends/hearsay/rumors, and have no idea what to do or where to go with their life, I believe, considering the most children I see nowadays.

    That “Kids Act” is ridiculously awful, disgusting even… It is designed to manipulate on the future of us, people, starting from children, to control now children then mature, and make them dependent on the system from their dear infant development time when you absorb knowledge like a sponge.

    That system is going to force children to be raised within that limited and carefully designed system so that raised people would continue to live how the system wants them to live, since they don’t even know other options based their mind foundation on it. That system disregards your individual safety mechanisms, making your unique worldviews limited, controllable, and vulnerable for those who control it within that “act” system.

    That is, a child that did not learn how to distinguish good from bad, learn how to protect themselves manually, will depend on that system or parents, but when parents die, the system will be their own “safety” they’ll trust, and hence - controlled by it.

    Not only the author of the post frame the ineffably marvelous Ubisoft for their Assassin’s Creed only, or the people in the organization who are not even related to the case, and for literally unknown reason, but also the author of the review feels like a disrespectful bigot who has likely a bad time yet enough to make a choice to inscribe their pure hatred into someone’s effort, history, and indeed novelty. One might want to suggest them to try creating anything at least remotely marvelous to the subjects, they try speaking at, with their own hands…

    Such a deep sorrow some people do not care about their actions, about anyone, including artists, developers, people in general… and ruin this world in hatred and utter, disgusting unfairness…

    You do you, @[email protected] and that reviewer, and let’s hope no one will state something so awful about your work after decades, hatefully believing their word has any weight the world outside their mind of hatred.

    A dear kindergarten is it…

    No, thank you. Sorry, never.

    Not only that, but the huge probability of mistakes is just deafening. The last time I used LLM was in 2023 someone recommended for a task at paper work, and I got a literal headache in 10 minutes… Since then I never ever will use that sorrow for anything that is not for blackbox pentesting or experimental unverified data generated you may find in medicine or military isolated solutions.

    That deafening feel that every single bit of output from that LLM or void machine may contain a mistake no soul is accountable for to ask about… A generated bit of someone’s work you just cannot verify since no source nor human is available… How would you trace the rationale that resulted in the output shown?

    Faster? Is that so… Doesn’t verification of every output require even more time to test it and consider stable, to prove it is correct, to stay accountable for the knowledge and actions you perform as a developer, artist, researcher… human?

    Your mind is to be trained to do a research, remember, and do not depend on someone’s service to a level of predominance/replacement.
    Meanwhile, effort, passion, creativity, empathy, and love, in turn, you carry, supports in long-term.

    You may not care now, though, but you do you. It’s your mind and memory you develop.
