  • I'm not a scientist/astronomer but my beste guess would be that stuff is named based on the instrument/telescope that found it first and some number or based on survey project names. There are so many objects we discover, anything "more sophisticated" would probably be too much work. If something turns out interesting later it might get additional names or a nick name.

  • Lawsuit Alleges That WhatsApp Has No End-to-End Encryption

    Jump

  • Signal could still (at least for a short period of time) read everything. Whisper System just has to push a Signal Update that no longer encrypts. It would probably be noticed pretty soon. And no not because of the source code. The source code is what they claim to ise to build the applications but they could easily apply patches before they build. You'd have to reverse engineer the compiled applications ro see if there is code that's probably not in the source.

    This kind of problem is typically way smaller in projects that actively encourage building the clients from source yourself - which Whister System/Signal does not.

  • Facebook added the encryption in the first place because so many people were leaving for Signal and Threema (and Telegram but that's another security nightmare).

  • Microsoft gave FBI a set of BitLocker encryption keys to unlock suspects' laptops: Reports | TechCrunch

    Jump

  • Why not save a step, fuck bitlocker, and use veracrypt to encrypt your drive in the first place?

  • Ukraine's Zelenskyy says his repeated warnings to Europe feel like 'Groundhog Day'

  • I hereby also announce $100 billion in support of Ukraine. Announcements aren't worth much.

  • ChatGPT Gave Teen Advice to Get Higher on Drugs Until He Died

    Jump

  • To be fair, if you listen to bad advise from chat-bots you have probably already lost. I know there are vulnerable people were that's easier said than done, but even before Chat-GPT, the internet already was a completely toxic place, where other people, that never saw or knew you, tell you to just kill yourself.

    So yes, there are a lot of real issues with LLMs, but people following clearly idiotic advice from a bot (that's also clearly marked as such), is a non-issue in my book.

  • The day that CBS News became literally ‘fake news’ for America | An unverified, unlikely story about the Minneapolis ICE shooter exposes the new CBS News team as Trump's state media.

  • I meant "c" pronounced like "see". Like c u as in "see you".

  • Who is surprised about that? It's literally in the name ... c BS news

  • Comment thread on /r/Europe suggesting ditching Reddit, Lemmy and PieFed suggested

    Jump

  • But that also means that you are way less anonymous and many people don't even know that. Interactions that are typically "anonymous" (except of course to the platform owner) on other platforms like up/down voting is completely public on lemmy. Everybody can just "tap" the feed and see what you upvote and downvote - it's basically heaven for data collectors and advertising companies.

  • Europe's rules-based trade an "advantage in global economy", but continent must be "more confrontational" to defend its own interests, German economist says

    Jump

  • I think the biggest problem Europe has (besides too weak military) is how slow this freaking bureaucratic apparatus is.

    Something happens - countries start to discuss how to react, weigh pros and cons, discuss again, Hungary votes against - discuss again... oh it's 2028 already.

  • Precisely

    Jump

  • Maybe it's Mozartella?

  • EU readies €93bn tariffs in retaliation to Trump’s Greenland threat

    Jump

  • I might get downvoted for that, but I think Europe should start working closer with China.

  • Trump is reportedly taking aim at Canada and raising alarms about its ‘vulnerability’

    Jump

  • Two be fair many other countries have the same issue but it doesn't have such horrendous consequences because they don't have a two party system.

    IMHO countries that claim to be democracies should switch to Lottocracy anyway. That's the only way we end up with decision makers that don't just do stuff to get voted again.

  • Volkswagen shifts back to physical buttons on dashboards

    Jump

  • The car is bad because of it's inherent design flaws and bad UX.

    Robo Taxi, "not so full self driving" and similar things don't make the car bad but show the practices Tesla uses to lure people into buying a car. By promising features they can't deliver. Same with Tesla Semi, new Roadster, etc.

    About hating Elon. Hate is a strong word but he is clearly a faschist moron. That doesn't make cars technically bad but I'd like to hear some arguments how a moron being in charge helps the company make better cars.

    And regarding science, there are some papers that show that cars with screens are way less safe because you have to look away to interact with it and that "glorified cruise control" too because you should pay attention because the car has too many flaws but in practice people stop paying attention.

  • The swasticar manufacturer has the most advanced tech car?

    Their cars are a joke. Opening glove boxes through menus. Getting rid of almost all buttons to just install a giant monitor in the middle?

    And don't get me started about their full self driving robo taxis next year since ages ago. At no point in time (even before the rest of the world caught on that Elon is a complete moron) was buying a Tesla a good idea.
