As someone who works in the gaming industry, the full quote is “No one wants to ship a bad game… But money.”

Web browsers have some of the most security out of any applications out there. What, specifically, is firejailing going to do?

Also if your goal is security rather than blanket privacy, Chromium browsers are better: https://madaidans-insecurities.github.io/firefox-chromium.html

Back when the “monkey abuse” hit pieces leaked I looked into it, and it’s actually pretty cool (also the monkey abuse stuff was laughably bs).

I won’t be signing up for trials, but brain chips in the future still sound neat.

It’s a preference thing, I use web interfaces too. Some examples when you’d still want Thunderbird:

• Customizability
• Self hosting email for privacy/security
• Manage multiple emails with different providers
• Build-in Calendar to connect them all
• Email is viewable offline & can be backed up

And then they encourage it to fester so they can claim a larger budget

What does a kitchen have to do about a house vs apartment?

How many walable citys do you know with fewer cars, preserving extra space (Parks are no woods or nature), a good public transport and closer to nature?

I live in SE Asia and the answer is “almost all of them”

Houses are a thing of the past.

Environmental has been discussed, but there’s also practicality. The number of people per household is rapidly decreasing^[1].

The scaling impact of this is twofold - Everything is going to be further away, and the sense of community will be greatly lessened (and that’s not even considering how much more time people spend inside compared to 20 years ago).

Fewer people in a house means more maintenance per person too - and if you’re going to hire someone else to do it, that’s gotten more expensive^[2].

If you want a house, you can get a house. But things have changed - It’s not the best option for most people, and it’s certainly not the best option for any competent government.

It’s more efficient because you’re constantly producing energy that you don’t always need, so you feed it back into the grid that otherwise burns coal/etc to make up the deficit.

Is it good? Yes. Does that mean houses are better than apartments? Lol no

You’re completely ignoring just about every other reason apartments are better.

• [Environment] Condense people = walkable cities
• [Environment] Fewer cars
• [Environment] Hubs are more efficient for transporting goods
• [Environment] Extra space can be preserved
• [Environment] Heat insulation is better ^[1]
• [Environment] Sewage, water, and electricity lines don’t require n^2 sprawl
• [Livelihood] Better public transportation
• [Livelihood] Closer to nature (your image is a joke and not how most house-based neighborhoods look)

It’s easy to see big cities like NYC and think “that’s bad for the environment”, but it’s easier to forget how much worse it would be if everyone lived in houses.

And to the point of energy - Use nuclear.

SO happy other people are realizing this. Watching the actual braindamaged Canadians argue over housing while ignoring the existence of apartments as a solution is mind boggling

It’s talking about a new app made by Meta. Key point from article:

“Soon, our app will be compatible with certain other apps like Mastodon,” Instagram’s slide says. “Users on these other apps will be able to search for, follow and interact with your profile and content if you’re public, or if you’re private and approve them as followers.”

Btw you can archive a website even if it’s blocked by your ISP/employer

No, IME is a proprietary subchip that has access to what your CPU is doing and virtually never turns off. IME is basically a full backdoor. Qualcomm is doing insecure telemetry that violates GDPR, but it’s not a backdoor.

Unfortunately, Converso is not open source and their website is totally silent on cryptographic primitives and protocols

The most insane part is this somehow wasn’t the worst part in the article

A quick look at Seald’s homepage answers many questions. Seald is a drop-in SDK for app developers to integrate end-to-end encryption ‘into any app in minutes’.

LOOOOL

Not only does Converso include a Google Analytics tracker to record how you use the app

This is an encryption app that claims to not even have metadata, btw

As I was finishing up the above post, I noticed something a little strange in the code – something I’d glossed over earlier. There are a ton of references to what looks to be functions related to Google’s Firestore database.

As someone who integrates Firebase for work, this made me tremble

I wrote a few lines of code to see what would happen if I tried to pull from the users collection:

No way

Looks like I accidentally breached Converso’s user database

I quit

It turns out the Seald username is the user’s phone number, and the encryption password is just their user ID.

HOW IS IT GETTING WORSE???

Thanks a lot! I had English selected!

I changed it to Undetermined, and now I’m seeing a different subset of posts. But at least it’s more… Yay?

Edit: Example

This is the same post as above, and now I’m not seeing any of the comments I was seeing before

I have English selected!

Tl;dw:

• Lab meat works in small (2L tanks), but doesn’t scale in big tanks (which is needed to get cheaper than 50$ per chicken nugget)
  • (The whole video is basically detailing why; contamination ruins the batch, continuously replacing the immune system is extremely expensive, every attempt and breakthrough has worked in small tanks but not big ones)
• People in the industry know this, but investor money is $$$

• Right click -> Open in new tab
• Hold Ctrl when clicking the link
• Click with the middle mouse button
• Use any modern mobile browser

IT’S BECAUSE OF ALL THE CHINESE POLICE STATIONS BLACKMAILING OUR POLITICIANS

I ONLY BUY MY MEAT AT THE GROCERY STORES WHERE NO ANIMALS GET HURT

You and your goalposts

Question:

Let’s say we have Lemmy.ml/c/soccer and Beehaw.org/c/soccer, and they’re federated.

Bob posts on Lemmy.ml/c/soccer, but his posts violate Beehaw.org/c/soccer’s guidelines. If Beehaw.org/c/soccer bans Bob, does that just mean Beehaw users don’t see Bob’s posts?

If so, I don’t really see the problem?

I’m also watching the updates to Stable Diffusion (try it out here) every day, very excited for what it can do in 1 year’s time

Wondering what other Lemmys are looking out for.

For me, I’m excited for https://frame.work/ to start selling GPUs with their laptops. I can’t wait to finally buy the last laptop I’ll ever need to buy, since as Framework parts die/get old you can replace them individually.

Because of Reddit, but I’m very excited to see the fediverse grow such that Reddit is the last network I have to leave

Companies like Reddit and SO don’t generate content. On the list of people AI giants should be paying, they shouldn’t even be on it.

Get sacked SO, I don’t have 150k rep on your network because I wanted to help Stackoverflow Inc, I did it to help other developers out there.

The US would quickly lose a lot of its world power if they didn’t

Good god that one bird was excited!

I used to have multiple parakeets as a kid, but as they grew older we were down to one. That last parakeet loved to socialize with the humans, and loved talking to themself in the mirror, but I felt bad as an owner that it couldn’t have a partner. Birds are too smart, and deserve the tech like this 🙏

Good! Everyone should be egging Musk on, let people come to Mastodon

American protests are a joke compared to what the French do. It’s no wonder the politicians in the US feel so invincible

If you got the M1/2 check out Asahi Linux

There’s a ton of game launchers, for instance this one just came out the other day and allegedly launches your games from Steam/Heroic/Bottles/etc. Not sure if it’s what you need but it seems weird there wouldn’t be an alternative to Playnite: https://flathub.org/apps/details/hu.kramo.Cartridges

Screensharing looks like something to wait on though. I’ve heard of people getting it to work but seems finicky

Edit: Looks like Playnite has distant goals of supporting Linux. Could be a race between these two apps for you to see which one gets working first

She was cute af in an computer science class and I knew if I waited to decide if I liked her, someone else would grab her first

She thought I was weird and gay but I pulled it off

5 years later we’re still together

The harder I tried to see the author’s POV, the more IQ points I lost. The fediverse is having some drama and hiccups, and so the author threw up their hands and said it should die?

Good, launder all the proprietary BS into public domain

Without KDE I’d probably have never realized how awesome Linux is

Absolutely hilarious

These tests, combined with our visual analysis of the data yielded the result that repositories containing swearwords exhibit a statistically significant higher average code-quality (5.87) compared to our general population (5.41).

The scores here (5.87 and 5.41) are from 0-10 based on SoftWipe. For a general idea on what that feels like when you look at the code, referring to this article in Nature (a highly reputable journal outlet):

sumo has a rate of 7.7 bugs per 1000 LoC (SoftWipe score: 3.7), llvm-openmp has a rate of 4.0 bugs per 1000 LoC (SoftWipe score: 5.2), and llvm-pstl has a rate of 0.8 bugs per 1000 LoC (SoftWipe score: 7.4)

Naively assuming a linear correlation (y = -0.6x +8, where x is the number of bugs in 1000 lines of code and y is the SoftWipe score), we can extrapolate that:

Therefore code with swearwords has about 1 less bug per 1,000 lines of code than code without it.

although we have a statistically significant difference between the groups, it could be caused by other underlying factors […] This means that swearing will not automatically improve the quality of your code

Absolutely hilarious.

This lawsuit is not about protecting artists like the other ones, it’s instead that SD used 12 million Getty images in their training model without paying Getty. It’s a much stronger case with much smaller repercussions for AI.

Honestly, a red herring article.

Used it on my boss, not disappointed
