  • I still don’t think companies serve you ads based on spying through your microphone

  • That Siri was bugged in a way that activated it unintentionally, which then sends recordings to Apple, is not in dispute. Turning that into "they're always recording your conversations" is a big leap. Why would the whistleblower that revealed the recordings being misused not bother mentioning that?

  • So Apple and Google have created the most sophisticated spyware known to man, so undetectable that tens of thousands of developers and researchers have never even seen a sign of it, and then they use the data for ads so sloppily that anyone can prove they're listening?

  • Rainbolt never misses

  • Rainbolt, it's in the post title.

  • Which default software do you replace after you install your distro?

  • It's not quite as fancy as nala, but apt also has colour support since 2.9.

  • They're saying 50Mbps 4k is shitty, not that 4k is a bad example. Modern Wi-Fi can definitely handle high-bitrate video 99% of the time, but that 1% where someone turns on a microwave can cause hella buffering. If you have the ability to run ethernet there's no benefit to using Wi-Fi.

  • Announcing Faster, Lighter Firefox Downloads for Linux with .tar.xz Packaging!

    Jump

  • Yes, projects backed by multi-billion dollar companies do tend to be more resistant to that kind of attack.

  • It wasn't "easy" at all, they had to put in over 2 years of useful contributions before there was chance to insert the malware. If you're worried just stay on an older version, it should still open new files perfectly fine.

  • AAA - Analytical Anti-Aliasing

    Jump

  • You might've been misled by the preview image, this has nothing to do with filtering pixel art. It's a really interesting read about how game developers can combat aliasing caused by rasterization, and a new method that's far more accurate than the alternatives.

  • To be fair, it does have the most potential to cause harm if you exclude every kind of fossil fuel. And hydroelectric. That said, there isn't a chance in hell I'm going to protest fission if the only alternative is more coal/gas.

  • Forgejo v9.0 released

    Jump

  • Do you use it for anything other than syncing code? Currently I'm using plain SSH sync for all my personal git repos, and I'm not sure if there'd be any advantage in switching to Forgejo.

  • It's not too big of a leap

    I think it is. I'd like to see at least one documented case of this happening before people start demanding that cars be able to move while plugged in. Plus, in the very scenario you describe, the car would still be able to move, no? Attaching a charger does nothing unless you're changing to parked at every red light.

    The only time you'd need to drive away while charging is if the attacker walks up while you're sitting in your parked car, or kindly decides to let you get in before doing anything.

    I can't find a single instance of someone being unable to escape because of their charger, so maybe let's worry about it if it ever becomes a problem.

    Asking for donations in Plasma

    Jump

  • I'm not against the idea, but I do think it's a bit unfair. There are dozens of projects KDE relies on that never even get the chance to ask for donations this way, simply because they don't need a GUI.

    I believe KDE should at least offer to share the donations with other projects, projects that would otherwise have no voice. Something like the old Humble Bundle donation method would work really well, and let users to choose how their money is allocated.

  • I would've thought they install licence plate frames when they put the cars out on display, though I do find the idea of dealerships running around randomly mounting them to other people's cars amusing.

  • According to the attorney-general's department, these are the criteria.

    I don't think this protest causes harm, serious damage, a public safety risk, or serious interference to critical infrastructure, so it's not terrorism by Australian law.
