The US right wing news coverage of the Canadian "trucker convoy" came with a lot of "liberate Canada" rhetoric and that was the first blip on my radar that the US could be more of a threat than an ally.
It actually concerned me to the point I mentioned it on a few shows at the time and just got weird looks. And yet...
Like LLM skills, except it's me leaving .md files for myself, telling Future Me how Past Me solved this problem last time, with ramp-up context / lessons learned commentary.
(been doing this for 20+ years, for everything from file conversion to household appliances. anything that fades from memory due to infrequent access / task)
Nice work. Now...
Load all of those notes, and all the manuals for all of your appliances, into ollama with the LLM of your choice running locally and make yourself a memory bank.
I did it, and it is awesome.
Looks like someone got pushed to go into hiding. Apparently one doesn't criticise people for using an anti-human-planet-burning-bullshit-technology without feeling the abuse from its chills.
At least that's my 5 minutes extrapolation based on a few things.
I remember all the big tech worker: "we don't need a union".

She called it. 12 days.
Amazon did that in Quebec.
It's all anti-labour. Keep it strong.
There seem to be two kinds of people. Those where #matrix mostly just works and those who run into all kinds of issues and complain 24/7 about how awful everything is.
I wonder why I'm in the first group. Seriously, what am I doing different?
common reasons for having a bad time:
1) if you lose your session (clear the tab; delete the app) and later try to log back in, you will lose history sent since you were last logged in. this is fixed by MSC3814, but implementation has got repeatedly stuck.
2) if you forget your recovery key/passphrase, you'll lose all your history. this could be improved too.
3) if your server is beta or underpowered then risk of badness.
4) abusive spam (we've been working away on antiabuse)
Apple courage is fucking their customers to increase profits, by removing the jack.
Apple courage isn't to enforce their policy to remove an app producing illegal content, because it might offend on of their fascist oligarch friend.
Apple courage is to remove an app that help people protect each other from a fascist Government.
Billionaires are really a different world.

Summary A heap-based out-of-bounds read vulnerability exists in libcurl's HTTP/2 implementation. The on_header callback in lib/http2.c incorrectly treats header names and values provided by nghttp2...HackerOne
That was a fun read, sorry you and all the others managing bug bounties have to deal with this now.
It was pretty fun 6 years ago when I ran a program for my company. I met lots of great pentesters that taught me a lot along the way.
Been seeing a survey going around fedi this morning about Discord's use of AI, but it's hosted on some other unrelated website, there's no mention of it on discord's blog and the first time I've heard of it is from mastodon, so, like, anybody got a source for this, or is this just someone playing games?
EDIT: The domain has been used by Discord in the past (see thread), which points to this survey being legit!
(I do still wonder why I heard it from Fedi rather than from Discord though)
The discord AI survey is down already.
Even asking people if they want AI is bad for business.

Is it just me or does it feel super corrupt that all of these charities are paying their "leadership" seven (7) figure salaries?
