The most painful lesson I learned, and have yet to fully recover from, after losing the community I spent years cultivating when Twitter was sold, it’s this: the “revolution” and change so many of you say you want will never be built in public, on platforms owned by people who not only do not share your values but who see them as threats.
At any moment, the communities, businesses, networks, and even friendships you’ve built there can be taken from you because they were never truly yours.

Want odds on who/what blocks our driveway first?
A snowplow pushing the snow from the bus stop more than 1 block away, or a motorist who gives zero f*cks about blocking our driveway w/ their vehicle whilst they do whatever they need/want to do in our immediate 4-block radius?

my favorite are the Linux man pages that have no information but say you have to use the GNU info page, but there also isn't a GNU info page
I used to have a list of these whenever I wanted to make fun of Linux

so this guy claims that he was was a sex slave for Epstein & co as a kid and Trump was one of his abusers (also Clarence Thomas and some others) and that at one point he jammed a tent stake up Trump's ass and got beat for it
he says Trump's medical records will corroborate this and this is also why Trump said he "felt raped" when his medical records were stolen a while back?

Might be able to set up a FLINTA-only dorm for €70-100 total per guest from Jan 30 to Feb 2. Price range depending on final amount of guests ^^
Would anyone going to FOSDEM be interested?

I have to admit, the performance of a Chromium-based browser compared to Firefox is abysmal. I don't have that many tabs but it lags a lot and the browser constantly puts tabs in hibernation to save memory--something I've never needed with Firefox. So all of you Chrome users live like this? No wonder RAM is in high demand.
I've finally switched to the @Vivaldi browser. I've been using Firefox for as long as I've been on the internet, but the focus on AI means it's no longer the browser for me. Thankfully unlike Chrome, Vivaldi supports the uBlock Origin extension which is the most important extension for being able to browse the web nowadays.
Dear fellow Healthcare workers in hospitals:
If you don’t know (*absolutely, clearly, KNOW*) what your hospital’s policy is with respect to ICE wandering the halls, ASK now. Find out.
My health system has us redirect ICE to non-patient waiting areas, call security and admin, and not disclose anything about patients.
The PAM Duress is a module designed to allow users to generate 'duress' passwords that when used in place of their normal password will execute arbitrary scripts.
This functionality could be used to allow someone pressed to give a password under coercion to provide a password that grants access but in the background runs scripts to clean up sensitive data, close connections to other networks to limit lateral movement, and/or to send off a notification or alert (potentially one with detailed information like location, visible wifi hot-spots, a picture from the camera, a link to a stream from the microphone, etc). You could even spawn a process to remove the pam_duress module so the threat actor won't be able to see if the duress module was available.

One useful addition to this would be a password that does an immediate wipe.
There are situations where that is indeed what you want, while that is extremely conspicuous, if the wipe is irreversible, there isn't much that your captors can do about it afterwards, and it's an option that should be available to users.
For systems that store their disk encryption key in a TPM, you could do this by just destroying the key (though I'm not sure whether PAM would even run in an encrypted disk scenario, I know far too little about how this works on Linux specifically).
I think AI music usage falls into a few different camps.
1. The people that give a random prompt, hit generate and say 'I wrote a thing.' No. No you did not.
2. The people that spend time crafting lyrics and sculpting the AI the way they want, and get amazing results just the way they imagined.
3. The other group of people (me included) who feed it my own music and get it to remix/reboot/reimagine whatever you want to call it, my music in entirely different ways.
Sometimes I'll then take that back to Logic and replay the bits I like and change the bits I don't.
AI in the case of numbers 2 and 3 is a tool then, not a 'be all and end all' bandaid. It should not be that.
The people that hate AI hate it because all the number oners break it for the rest of us, those who care about what we're doing, our craft, our joy, and our care and attention to detail.
That, at least, is my take on it.
Happy to be told otherwise.
"Furious AI Users Say Their Prompts Are Being Plagiarized."
Even if we set aside that this is a complaint about plagiarizing the use of a technology that is LITERALLY MADE OF PLAGIARISM, consider:
Say I write up how I made a cool piece of art in some app; if you follow the same steps, do I somehow own your output? And hell, that's not even what this is—it's more like someone posted their Google search terms or sandwich order, and are now mad others are using them.

People complaining about AI prompt plagiarism:
"I enjoy ordering a Jimmy John's BLT with no mayo."
[someone else orders a BLT with no mayo]
"How dare you! THIEF!"
"Max, that's not fair. Writing a good AI prompt takes real work."
Yes, I agree. When you use AI you are taking real work.
Sexual deepfakes on X show need for Canadian online regulator, advocates say

Our Minister of Slop is an incompetent twat. And up the food chain the one that keep him in that unneeded position.
Evan Solomon says NO to sexual deepfakes, UNLESS they're on X... then, it's A-OK?!?!?
WHO DOES EVAN SOLOMON WORK FOR?!?!?
Consider Amira Zairi, a self-professed “AI educator” and “ambassador” for Adobe, LeonardoAI, and TripoAI, who posted a scathing rant this week on X-formerly-Twitter to her 49,000 followers. Her complaint? Other people were “plagiarizing” her unique AI prompts.

In 2021 people on the right screamed about freedom and bodily autonomy.
They refused to wear masks. Refused to get vaccinated. Said it was “tyranny”.
In 2026 they’re urging “complete compliance” with unidentified masked men who are shooting people in the streets.
