So that means, since I’m paying it whether I pirate or not, I might as well pirate, right?

Public funding, public access!

A sad day, but nothing that can’t be fixed by reuploading the files.

omg! Precious! May I ask what is the correct way to pronounce her name?

Šaškė

I recall she is not a Darth Emo cat, but she is still lovable. o3o

Also, p good fit with her and that checkered pattern rug.

veniasilente ,

I mean I too would also be very sociable if I could live rent-free on a patterned rug. :p

It’s good to see her well. And thanks for the pronunciation guide!

They won’t merge my code unless I change my code to be GPL.

If you are the author of the code you want to merge, you can double-license it you know. Hand them a GPL license, they’ll be able to use your copy under the same terms, while you and everyone else use your current license.

Clearview AI is Offering a Stake in Its Company to the People Whose Photos It Stole (petapixel.com)

Clearview AI, a facial recognition start-up that scraped more than 30 billion photos from social media, can’t afford to pay the settlement bill from its class-action lawsuit so is offering Americans a stake in its company instead....

veniasilente ,

So let me see if I get this straight:

Some guy robs you and since they can’t pay the settlement bill for robbing you, they are offering you a stakeholder position in their further crimes?

veniasilente ,

Here’s the thing: everyone but you would be an accessory, so you can sue everyone who got stonks. Settle for getting their stonks, and you get 23% of (what was) the company.

(I wish I was only half-kidding, but the US be the US)

Never question the bravery of the French. They discovered snails are edible.

As for their intelligence on the other hand…

veniasilente ,

ATM I’m using Quad9 and OpenNIC but I’m not sure how much of everything do they cover. I’m also not well aware of any other good “flat DNS” alternative (aka: one you can put right into your /etc/resolv.conf / Windows LAN config, without need of extra internal service).

veniasilente ,

Catcher of spirals too, apparently!

veniasilente ,

Don’t we also need a critical mass of people adding licenses to posts? So that a class action suit can be launched. Because it would be inviable and a very rapid path to self-defeat if people started to try and individually sue big corpo.

Also I’m missing a way to automatically add this to my posts. Something like a browser extension.

Also for me I’m using a text expander so that after I type a shortcut it automatically adds the rest of the text for me.

I request of you, show me your ways!

veniasilente ,

People are getting upset about this, but it only applies within the country where Roskomnadzor has authority, and it’s temporary pending further review.

Which means that now, for example, Republicans can file to have any extension that “provides or facilitates woke content”. To put forth one (1) such case.

Idiot laws are idiot and must be fought at every point, in particular if you have more power than one (1) mere citizen. What Mozilla is doing is just announcing to the world they’re open to spreading their legs before the MAGAs.

Mozilla, as a law-abiding organization, must at least acknowledge the requests of a regulatory agency within its own country.

Insert Nick Fury “I recognize the council has made an ass-stupid decision”.

Whether you agree with their requests or not, Roskomnadzor has governmental authority in this context within Russia.

You don’t need one. It is easy to install an xpi in Firefox

[CITATION NEEDED]

The access to install xpis is (irony intended) censored in “retail” Firefox.

veniasilente ,

No. Brave is merely Chrome with extra steps. And it’s associated with lots of “web3” / crypto scams.

veniasilente ,

The problem is, Mozilla is not doing that. The ability install xpis is censored (oh the irony) in retail Firefox.

veniasilente ,

Darlin’, English, like any language, evolves.

veniasilente ,

So then what are you recommending to connect to the internet? curl? wget? netcat?

veniasilente ,

True, but neither that nor anything else has stopped republicans and conservatives from pushing crap after crap until it slips in (or rather, is let slip in, given the Supreme Court the US has over there).

veniasilente ,

Better to crush their spirit now, before it can be misled by lies; so that it can crash and burn and be reborn in the Fire of the Fox, as a Libre Wolf.

Or, if they prefer a more compact fursona, a Fennec.

veniasilente ,

We need to use other methods than voting.

Funnily enough the French are from Europe and they put forth some handy tools!

I cannot make any post/comment containing the string [slash]etc[slash]passwd on lemmy.world (lemmy.world)

When I try to submit a post or comment containing the string [slash]etc[slash] passwd, the submit button goes into a loading state and spins indefinitely. The request is blocked by Cloudflare with status code 403. I can’t even search for the forbidden string. You have to check dev tools to find out what went wrong, this error...

veniasilente ,

/etc/passw[nothing]d blocked here at lemm.ee.

veniasilente ,

I can only hope programming.dev of all instances doesn’t have this problem!

(Also, I’m really wondering where does this error come from. It can’t be, in theory, from lemmy itself, right? One would think user input in posts is sanitized so that it’s not used as code, either raw or processed).

veniasilente ,

Triple digits? That’s way too much Celsius!

veniasilente ,

US temperatures

what… is that? Temperature is measured in Celsius. Maybe Kelvin if you want to be fancy or are doing really cool stuff with really cool states of matter.

veniasilente ,

Escusé moi I don’t believe in fuhrers or fahrers or whatever the Germans are inventing these days.

(alas, not completely sarcasm, but that’s the modern world for you.)

veniasilente ,

As an extra layer of security, always run wine / proton as a separate user, for example via sudo, or even better via schroot, which won’t let the “Z:/” drive see your entire filesystem.

Oh, we heard, Rust is the greatest invention since sliced bread. We heard it already. Like 65534 times.

veniasilente ,

Yeah we only need 2 brainRusts more to start seeing some fun.

veniasilente ,

Same. We should head back to ICQ!

veniasilente ,

Not with that attitude!

I’m already on IRC and XMPP. be the change you want to see.

veniasilente ,

I mean, if you are already know you’re using GCC, knowing to browse the manpage for info is easier.

The problem with manpages is, in my experience, they are vastly ill-suited for the “modern” / desktop-like workflow of the distros. They’re point is they’re not the tool for that, they are reference manuals focused on the tool, not training pamphlets focused on the use. Like, what is the manpage for “my desktop icons disappeared”? Even assuming there’s one. Or for “my desktop is in Italian but my start menu is in Swahili”? Or for “after video driver update and reboot my screen is monochrome”? Heck, for most of those even figuring out a proper info page (the “competitor” of man page) would be next to impossible.

So, there is of course merit to reading the documentation. But for that someone has to first isolate the workflow and write that documentation. I’m not interested in the man page for “steel” or for “lacrimals”; I need the usage pamphlet for “Slicing onions with a kitchen knife”.

veniasilente ,

Pfff the only thing achieved so far is speaking that he’s guilty. Of (of all things) not disclosing payment for sex. No prison, no drop from the ballot, so far nothing that’s actually useful.

I think that the best immediate thing that will come from this will be Trump rule 34 fanart. Or, who knows, I might be mistaken already…

veniasilente ,

Doesn’t matter if Florida can still vote for him anyway.

veniasilente ,

Any law pregraduate knows those EULAs are not valid in court.

“Don O’Evil”

veniasilente ,

I have an Intel Celeron Mobile laptop with iGPU and, I think, 256MB VRAM. How many bs does that get me for the LLM?

Only half-joking. That’s my still functional old daily driver now serving as homelab

veniasilente ,

Finally.

Regular English

veniasilente ,

Now that would be the day!

veniasilente ,

IANAL and all the other anals, but my understanding is Signal wouldn’t be liable and wouldn’t have to do anything. They designed their service so they can’t know the content of the messages, so if a third party Maloyse (see what I’m doing there?) is reporting a message between Alice and Bob that Maloyse thinks to be illegal, Signal would be within legal grounds to bring into question how did M got that message, and it can’t be used as proof against Signal because there is no legal mechanism by which Signal could have acquired that message and act upon it - in fact, Signal has grounds to suspect Maloyse is crafting those messages, since neither Alice nor Bob have reported such message.

veniasilente ,

Maloyse absolutely can:

  • eavesdrop above Alice’s shoulder
  • be an evil, militarily dressed maid on Bob Alice’s home
  • have remote administrative permissions on Bob’s phone
  • (“accidentally”) get a full-workspace snapshot of Charlie’s desktop while he has the group open in Signal Desktop
  • Sneak around and check the phone while Alice and Donny are having sex
  • Hit Charlie with a $5 wrench
veniasilente ,

Which one is harder has zero relevance upon how much work Signal has to do to vet the contents transmitted on the channels, which is zero, nil, because they can’t. Even if it was Charlie who reported the channel, Signal intentionally has no practical means to verify neither the accused contents nor the authenticity of the report. And this is actually good.

Infrastructure-wise, Signal (mostly) limits itself to only being a carrier. In a just world, a carrier who has been set up to take the limited responsibility of a carrier is not liable for the contents of carried things that are protected so that the carrier can not peek into. Sure, they can be legally pressed to change that and “upgrade” their lawyer plan to “content vetter”, but as far as I know that hasn’t happened yet.

veniasilente ,

But once they are made aware, the legal system considers them to now bear responsibility if they don’t take action.

And the action Signal can take is pretty clear: “Okay thanks for reporting, feel free to file a lawsuit against Alice and or Bob instead, have a nice day.” Remember: even if Signal had Charlie’s credentials to view the chat, unless Charlie is an admin of the chat Signal can’t do anything other than log Charlie off the group. Plus each participant still has their own message store. So by this point Signal has complied with the law. It’s literally Section 230.

, you should take a helicopter view and see that a punch, will lead to counter punches, which will lead to potentially full blown civil war.

You got that wrong. Nazis are already being violent; punching a nazi is not starting violence, it’s a defensive measure, it’s a response to violence. But sure if your response to violence is “let’s sit with the nazis and make a nazi bar” then sure, you do you.

veniasilente ,

Ah yes, I also use cat to input text and passwords!

veniasilente ,

Bets are strong such tos are not legally enforceable.

veniasilente ,

That’s why I don’t have monitor dashboards 😎

veniasilente ,

The problem is, I use far more sites than Youtube, and the other filter lists are needed here. AFAIK I haven’t been able to find a switch on uBO that makes a site use only a specific set of filters, so if I want good internet experience it has to be the default filters and some more, or nothing.
