Synnr , 9 months ago to technology in Probe reveals secret Israeli spyware that infects via ads

Israeli company legally allowed to produce and sell digital spycraft, only to verified western nations, has clients of dodgy and murderous origin. News at 11.

I wonder if Jamal Khashoggi would still have been brutally hacksawed into individual bits in an embassy if not for Pegasus.

Call me crazy but I have my doubts.

Cats out of the bag. It’s not ChatGPT running on OpenAI’s server under their control. Tens of thousands of random individuals are making, training, and using their own ML systems and datasets. I see it all the time on HN. The technology is known.

I am as concerned as him, but I’m unsure if I’m against regulation of serious and widespread use of propaganda AI that could affect citizens doing small time things. What are we going to nation states besides more sanctions? Are there any other options?

When you go changing the default text in your content-management system because you think you have better words than the ones who built the system.

Downvote the piss out of me, I deserve it, but I am lazy and under a great deal of stress at the moment. I hope putting this out there will let someone else do it.

Synnr , 9 months ago to technology in Twitter is Still Throttling Competitors’ Links—Check for Yourself.

Twitter also has a broken unsubscribe link in their floods of email updates. I tried so many ways to click that link, I just had to block them. I know that breaks laws and think they can be charged a big amount every day that it’s not fixed. Maybe someone can look into that.

I guess I should RTFA, but it’s definitive he knew that Masterson was a scientologist, and knew about all the scientology stuff?

Hasn’t Ashton Kutcher essentially stopped acting and dedicated his life to fighting child predation?

If you’re single lining them all every time then sure, but if it’s a repeatable task then just make an alias for it, and make love of &&.

Synnr , 10 months ago to nostupidquestions in Do folks managing servers mainly do so via command-line interfaces?

Yeah but usually those 4 buttons are running 20 command lines in the background so it takes just as long; may as well customize any of the commands to your liking while you’re taking the same amount of time.

It’s very sad. They are locked into informational echo chambers that only repeat the words of state media and anyone repeating anything else gets arrested or a ‘visit’. The only ones who know how to bypass this are mostly younger tech savvy Russians with VPNs etc who care enough.

Curious if their proxy host was cloudflare or DDoS-Guard (Russian) or even a lesser known service.

Thanks, that mostly answers my questions.

Synnr , 10 months ago to news in Ecuador presidential candidate Villavicencio assassinated

Can someone knowledgeable about this provide some valuable insight?

(e: I see it only happened about 4 hours ago, but the who, what, when, where, why?) Was it likely to keep the current president in power or force the election process towards another person?
