    centrists

    Jump

  • That's a good take on bothsidesism.

    Not all centrists are guilty of bothsidesism. It may the case in some countries. In my country centrists equally hate far right and far left (certainly a false equivalence) and want compromise with neither.

  • It Took 6+ Years For Linux's "New" Mount API To Be Properly Documented In Man Pages

    Jump

  • https://manpages.debian.org/testing/manpages-dev/fsopen.2.en.html

    And here's an example of creating a mount object of an NFS server share and setting a Smack security module label. However, instead of attaching it to a mount point, the program uses the mount object directly to open a file from the NFS share.

    That's neat. But that's not enough to access a partition as a normal user. fsopen returns -1 (Operation not permitted).

  • A text post would be much more agreable to read.

  • All good advices. But it doesn't scale as well as disinformation.

    I wish there were a browser extension that automatically check for retracted, debunked, or satirical story, and CLEARLY label them as such.

  • We COULD see fewer contrails.

    It require voting for leaders and lawmakers who will give airlines insentives to reduce their environmental impact. It could be regulation, taxes, tax breaks, wharever works best to reduce harm from aviation.

  • Tesla drivers are buying emergency tools to avoid being trapped inside

  • Tesla should have to recall every vehicle with this type a door handle and replace it at no cost to the owner such that they can escape from being burned alive trapped in the car.

  • We Mass-Deployed 15-Year-Old Screen Sharing Technology and It's Actually Better

    Jump

  • I have to wonder, is software efficiency even a consideration these days?

    Sometimes I wonder if people come up with the most inefficient application on purpose just to come up with a bandwidth heavy use case for some new communication tech (5G wireless, or 1Gb fiber, or..)

  • NVIDIA Drops Pascal Support On Linux, Causing Chaos On Arch Linux

    Jump

  • Using 10 year old hardware with 10 year old drivers on 10 year old OS require no further work.

    The hardware doesn't change, but the OS do.

  • Oh fuck off Meta

    Jump

  • And when Meta eventually locks the account for a dumb reason, recovery probably won't be possible because the account doesn't match your real birthday. It's safe to assume it's only going to get worse.

    Move away from Meta as soon as possible, ideally to some place that doesn't collect personal info uncessarily.

  • Docker Update Tool Watchtower Reaches End of Maintenance

    Jump

  • The announcement is thoughful. It explicitely tells user the tool won't reveive maintenance so they know to look for alternatives right know.

    Silently abandonning a project could cause an accumulation of issues, unmerged MRs over time until peole realize the maintainers aren't coming back.

  • Heritage Foundation openly calls for end of European Union

    Jump

  • it actively deals with influential agents and funds disruptive movements underhandedly for the express goal of weakening institutions of social order

    In that case they'd probably be breaking the law, and freedom of speech shouldn't protect them against prosecution.

    Of course, there would need to be due process, ie fill a formal complaint, present evidence, point to specific provisions in the law being violated.

  • Heritage Foundation openly calls for end of European Union

    Jump

  • No, banning an organisation for their opinion would infringe on freedom of speech.

    They deserve however to be ridiculized, and held accountable in case they do break the law.

  • AI’s Unpaid Debt: How LLM Scrapers Destroy the Social Contract of Open Source

    Jump

  • Cloudflare drafted the Content Signals Policy which complement licenses.

    The Content-Signal directive works by signaling your preference of either allowing (yes) or disallowing (no) certain categories of AI actions

    It references existing EU law, ie the DSA. It's good to set clear policy and terms of use scrappers can parse. It's new so I suspect most don't honor this yet. But once they get caught, the website could argue this violate term of use.

  • Claiming Bitcoin is anonymous is indeed a common mistake, which I didn't make.

    Pseudonyms can help provide privacy, the issue is that those pseudonyms are permanently tied to Bitcoin wallets. Making a transaction with an exchange or seller while providing a full identity allow that exchange to trace all transactions and reassociate identities.

    You do make good point, Bitcoin's use of permanent pseudonyms is another reason why Bitcoin isn't useful for daily private payments.

  • Ragebait Rule

    Jump

  • Bicoin isn't useful for private daily payments given the high volatility and fees and inefficiency. It was the intention but didn't pan out.

    Today's main uses cases for Bitcoin:

    • Speculative investments
    • Money laundering
    • Russia, North Korea, and Iran escaping international sanctions

  • 8 Million Users' AI Conversations Sold for Profit by "Privacy" Extensions

  • The extension remains live and featured as of this writing.

    The Chrome Web Store should be avoided for security. Google keeps failing at moderaring their store, at the same time kneecaping legitimate adblockers with manifest v3 in the name of security, and failing to remove actual malicious extension after both manual review and dislosure of its behaviour by outsiders.

    Running Chrome without any extension isn't ideal either, it would leave people without protection from malvertising and tracking. So better avoid Chrome altogether, use Firefox or Zen Browser or Tor Browser.
