Abolishing ICE is now the conservative position. The moderate position is shipping them all, including every single leader, to The Hague.
I leave the more aggressive position as an exercise for the reader.
Today has been a very strange day. Definitely had some #Thursday components, such as both of my ears completely becoming useless at different points, a fantastic headache, a couple of technical things that went wrong, and the ill-advised (by me) working on an experimental project that might crash and burn, but I won't know about that for a while.
Currently, both my ears are, for all intents, nonfunctional, so I am once again thankful for the existence of braille displays.

Let me reiterate: ChatGPT Health is a dangerous product and a terrible idea. Keep it away from everyone you care about.
Don't, uhDon't use this. Don't let your family or friends use it. If you see it in your neighborhood, bang pots and pans, whistle, and scare it off.

As I suspected it probably would be, my bug bounty submission of using an AI email summarizer was closed as being 'infeasible' and an 'acceptable risk' with AI.
But still - I think it's an interesting finding, so I have written it up thus: mike-sheward.medium.com/recrui…
TL;DR = I discovered how you can use Google Workspace's Google Gemini Email Summarizer to make a phishing attack seem more convincing, because it summarizes hidden content.
Using AI's, I've co-written a clever editor that cleans text and prepares it for use with index-tts. It kept getting more powerful, so even if you don't use it the way I do, it may be useful, or perhaps, you, being a human could bring the actual personal touch to it. Do whatever you like with any part of this project you like, just let me know for my own gratification, source included dropbox.com/scl/fi/1d2cuzegf60…
If you create an alternate gmail account, or any gmail account really, make sure you either configure 2FA with an authenticator app or add a recovery phone number.
The moment you sign into that account with an Android phone, the gmail app on iOS, the youTube app on iOS, or anything else that Google can send a code to, your account will force-enable 2FA without so much as a warning. The next time you try to sign in from a browser or another device, you sure as shit better have that phone with you, rather than hiding in a box 3000 miles away, otherwise you're not getting into that account.

The "3000 miles away" is the key word here. Google likely knows that, and considers this as a possible fraud pattern.

Daughter just came home to tell me the teachers at school tried to confiscate her vape but they couldn't because it's actually a kazoo.
"I made a kazoo noise at them and I could see them dying on the inside so I made a sad kazoo noise instead. I don't think it helped."

Oh, hey, cool. If you mute speech and are controlling your mac with #NVDARC, speech still goes through the remote connection.
Ooh neat. That definitely doesn’t work the same way when controlling NVDA between two windows computers.
Every day, thousands of women and children are victimized by people on X using the Grok chatbot to generate scantily clad and naked photos of them.

Why is Grok still allowed on the app store after generating thousands of CSAM images?
Does Tim Cook just not want smoke from Elon? Many apps have been removed for far less.
With xAI's Grok generating endless semi-nude images of women and girls without their contest, it follows a years-long legacy of rampant abuse on the platform.

@Em0nM4stodon Yesterday I left the X app for Android a single star review in the Play Store which read "This app contains an AI tool that can generate child pornography."
Today I got an email from Google to say that they removed my review because it "contains obscene, profane or offensive language. Or your review appears to harass, bully or attack others."

I've just pushed a new build of #NVDARC for Mac which adds self hosting your own remote server when in be controlled mode, but since I had to add a new network connection entitlement, Apple has to review the build all over again. So be on the lookout for build 16!

Two years ago we dropped the years from all copyright mentions in the #curl project: daniel.haxx.se/blog/2023/01/08…
Copyright without years
Like so many other software projects the curl project has copyright mentions at the top of almost every file in the source code repository. Like Copyright (C) 1998 - 2022, Daniel Stenberg ...daniel.haxx.se
Well that’s a nice self pay-it-forward Happy New Year. Having one less thing to do at the start of the year sounds great to me.
That said, it opens up a whole game of trying to find the oldest curl version in active deployment. Finding ©️2014 in your car infotainment system is like finding the exp2014 aspirin in the office’s medical bag.
we actually have *one* year range left, and that is in the COPYING file. Which happens to be the one that many products and services ship/show...

Reasons are, as so often, historical. Computer software form and best practice does in many ways originate in the US during the 1970s and 80s - right the time US copyright switched from requiring a full notice of (c) symbol, year and author to not doing so. So it comes mostly by continued practice. Mostly as US law is still case law for most parts, which means that having a classic notice may give a better standing. Then again, the year itself may only once the item gets past any of the thresholds - which are quite long by now.
So for all practical reasons, it would have been sufficient to only note the year each file was created first - removing the need for yearly updates. This gives a minimum duration of 50 (Berne) or 70 (EU/US) years after your death. That's as of now something like 2076. Sure, libcurl may be still in use by then - if we still use computers and not clay tablets again - I would think any possible dispute has been solved already :)
On a side note, the EU still recommends the use of a copyright notice: europa.eu/youreurope/business/…

The auto industry Doug "deal" Ford want to protect is the one that close factories when they see fit. Look at Stellantis closures in 2025, following Anus Tangerinus TACO.
This is not an industry.

"Apple's Solution: Licensing and Porting: Rather than trying to run the old 32-bit version through emulation (which would only be a temporary solution), Apple made a deal with Code Factory and Nuance, the companies that owned the rights to the voice. As part of this agreement, a full, natively 64-bit version of the Eloquence engine was developed specifically for integration into Apple's VoiceOver accessibility features."
That's right. 64-bit Eloquence. On Mac and Apple devices. All thanks to Code Factory. Ha ha. Heh heh. Sure, as likely as a JAWS for Mac OS appearing.

(Doug) Ford warns Carney not to cut tariffs on Chinese EVs as PM looks to repair ties with Beijing
cbc.ca/news/politics/ford-carn…
Elbows up.
As I said the tariff is not to protect Canada. It's to protect a US industry that don't give a fuck about Canada.
Edit: Added in the headline that it is the drug dealer, not the car manufacturer.

btw I expect the PM to do absolutely nothing to open that market. NOTHING.

Also hat tip to CBC for writing headlines ambiguously. It read like it was Ford the automobile lobby while it was in fact Ford, the drug dealer.
@dcdeejay 100% tariff on Chinese EV. So that they are not competitive with the crap American want to sell.
I saw you toot of the article immediately after, but I had to agree with f**k Doug Ford as quickly as possible.
Hi all. So today, my hair went. Well, a lot of it went. Instead if the jaw length bob I had, I now have a very short, very. short. layererd fluffy cut which, I am so happy to report, looks amazing and is easy easy for me to manage! I am so happy. I have new natural sleep aids coming, plus cream for the restless legs which I am so, so hoping will work. Feeling pale pink and hopeful today.
Aww, I hope you are feeling better, and yay for shorter hair, I like it too, hard for me to manage when the muscle spasms pay us a visit.
I think this is the best one I've seen in a long time.

Tehran, Babol, Mashad, Hamadan, Kermanshah...and many more cities: There are masses on the street tonight all over #Iran. At the same time the regime has once again shut down the internet in order to prevent information to get in and out of the country. We know from previous protests that they kill the people in silence and darkness. Please be the voice of the brave Iranians- they are risking their lives for freedom.

It will never, ever stop annoying me that #SQL has "LEFT" and "RIGHT" joins.
These keywords' names are horribly inaccessible for those with Left–right confusion, which is A REAL THING that affects MANY MILLIONS OF PEOPLE.
Including, yes, myself.
In general, any usage of the words "left" and "right" in computers is at least a yellow flag, or even a red flag. Anywhere. User interface strings, help pages, visual design documents, programming language keywords, and so on. It's a likely #accessibility problem for people with Left–right confusion and a likely #localization problem for people who read right-left (#RTL) languages. I happen to belong to both groups.

Also it's a huge problem with blind people because in general we don't have notion of left and right, we read all interfaces in a virtual environment line by line (in web) or in tab order (in native dialogs). So "top right" tells nothing, given also that most screen readers place the elements into virtual view in order of *code*, not in visual order. #Accessibility
