  • SmartTube’s official APK was compromised with malware — What you should do if you use it

    Jump

  • It's the Google account people log onto with thats the issue from a security perspective.

    That said neither a malicious update was so far identified nor anything that 2FA wouldn't take care of.

    This can happen to fdroid apps as well by the way. It's just the downside of small or solo devs that they are on their own when it happens.

    I'm actually more confident in the smarttube rev now I have to say. He disclosed it fast, flagged his own apps as compromised even without specific proof and published it from what I can tell pretty much right after finding out.

  • "We're being forced to ruin people's lives." Former Tennessee troopers say DUI quotas led to arrests

  • Yeah my first instinct was "fuck DUI just as hard as our uniformed, un-informed 'friends'" - but you're right the underlying mechanism is even more sinister. any idea of quota is just ...

  • How do I explain my reluctance to use generative AI in good faith?

    Jump

  • For 2. would it then be a approach for you to focus on exactly your own complaint?

    "Be careful when you use gen AI, it's sold to you as solution but you'll have more work figuring out why it doesn't understand you then it would be just doing it on your own".

    Perhaps I'm not yet understanding what you mean with "contribute to" or the implications though.

  • How do I explain my reluctance to use generative AI in good faith?

    Jump

  • One Thing to note: if you're strictly against it then you are on fact an AI vegan.

    And that's okay!

    Just like veganism you need to be clear though to us to help you answer that question:

    1. what IS your reason? "At all" as absolute is not objectively feasible for all situations no matter your logic (stealing --> use an open model like apertus; energy --> link it to your solar panels, unreliable --> wrong use case, etc etc)
    2. why do you want to convince others?

    The issue is: you need to be honest to yourself AND to us to have a proper exchange.

    "It doesn't feel right and I want to limit it's spread" is a way better answer then some stuff that sounds right but that are not grounded in your personal reality.

  • Git 3.0 will use main as the default branch

    Jump

  • Thank you! It's fascinating that I never made the connection to other quite similar words (another user mentioned remastered for example).

    Today ik one of the lucky 10,000.

  • Oh my ... Thanks! The remastered made a audible click in my brain! Now it makes sense and I'm ready to move on :D

  • Politics aside I didn't understood the "master" naming. I was framed by SCSI and always wondered which slaves that master controls.

    If I recall correctly back then my mentor even explained t as "don't think of it like this kind of master, more like the source of truth and everything als derives from that".

    Can someone explain to me (in the nostupidquestions sense!) what the "master" naming was actually intended to convey and why people are so on love with it (if there's something beyond "it's jr original name", while I personally don't follow this train of thought I can fully understand it).

  • I meant the one above that - but from your answer I deduce that that's actually what Windows looks like nowadays? Oo

    Thank you!

  • What is that? I first thought this is what Windows might look like today but now I'm curious what functionality a program like this solves!

  • If on he other hand you want a transition that's really painful and slow but sooo rewarding (highly subjective, of course) you can look into nushell. They just said "screw this 50 years of conceptual baggage and let's do it data centric and proper".

    I still am at perhaps 10% the speed of my zsh setup but the concepts are so intriguing I'm sticking to it. At least I try to ...

  • Why are some shows so dark?

    Jump

  • I get where you're coming from but movie audio also fails here. The same darkness discussion arises about dialogue-to-explosion volume regularly :)

    That doesn't take away from what you said they "proper" audio work is done that way ...

  • Schleswig Holstein: Die Landesverwaltung hat ihr Mailsystem nun vollständig auf Open Source umgestellt

    Jump

  • Braucht MS nicht Mal, limux ist an der Bürokratie gescheitert.

    Wenn ich mich Recht erinnere hat München sogar Accenture bezahlt, damit die sagten "ihr habt noch Windows, beides gleichzeitig ist teuer".

    Und dann gab's noch den ganzen bullshit mit "aber Landesbehörde X kann nur docx lesen" und so weiter.

    MS hat da glaube ich nur suffisant zugesehen am Ende ...

    Oh und persönlicher Eindruck:die Nutzer waren dem Projekt egal. Libreoffice sieht anders aus und fühlt sich anders an, sowas mit abgefangen werden. Wurde aber nicht.

  • Does anyone actually use Gentoo? Why?

  • I wish I could blame auto correct but I'm afraid at least 2/3 of that was (and is) sleep deprivation :(

    Hopefully a bit cleaner now and thanks for the pointer.

  • Does anyone actually use Gentoo? Why?

    Jump

  • Thanks! Highly appreciated :) Your "compile" time alone I wasted when I accidently screwed up disk encryption - and couldn't figure out what's wrong with my kernel parameters for a long time. So your numbers are not really shocking.

    Edit: decrypted message.

  • Yay AMA! ❤️

    How do you feel when you(have to use) a different linux system of that happens? Is it as different that it's like "using" MacOS or Windows to you?

    How lo does it take you to set up a system from scratch?

    what's the biggest downside from your perspective?

    Thanks in advance!

  • Why does the GOP think “ANTIFA” is bad?

    Jump

  • While I understand the aggressive anti religious sentiment I also emphasize with your beliefs so perhaps a different way of phrasing it:

    The link to religion is not so much on right or wrong but accepting or not. I'd I understand your context than your church teaches accepting and empathy.

    This is not a universal, objective "correct" thing! You, and me as well, feel these values as right and choose to defend them. But there's no nature law enforcing this.

    And now the opposite as true as well. By having a peer group which is self reinforcing people can come to the belief that there are people who are worth less. Or evil. Or dumb.

    Now the step to fascism is only a small one: my nation is best, my leader is best, etc.

    If belief gets strong enough than objective discussion can't take place anymore - both for things that we connotate positive as well as negative.
