If you're serious about Linux, your best bet is to run an open source distro from either bare metal or a virtual machine. But if that's not in the cards for you, WSL is a decent alternative.

Today, from the very bleeding edge we have vulnerability injection in ML-generated code via poisoned training data - arxiv.org/abs/2412.05829 - and _correct-per-spec_ kernel panics via crafted USB EXT2 filesystems, which can define for themselves just corruption state but the kernel's correct reaction to that corrupt state - mastodon.social/@wdormann@info… - because of a design that didn't consider adversarial removable media in the mid 90s.
Recent studies have proposed integrating Chain-of-Thought (CoT) reasoning to further enhance the reliability of Code Language Models (CLMs) in generating code, a step-by-step approach that breaks down complex programming tasks into manageable sub-pro…

@Dustwin They're separate apps. You can import account settings data into Thunderbird from K-9 Mail so don't delete K-9 Mail until you've had the chance to do that!
@TuxOnBike @romadiz We are still planning to release an iOS app, and the current plan is to begin work next year. Thanks for being patient while we got the Android release delivered!
Hey, Thunderbird Product Manager here! We are beginning to work on an iOS version of Thunderbird this upcoming year (2023). I can't say when it will be ready to be released exactly.
jo aha. Já myslel že už bojuješ. Já dneska dostal novou pracovní nabídku, tak si léčím depresi přemýšlením o změně 😊 Samozřejmě v oboru, jen za větší autobus.
ya pretty cool but unlikely to work - the author said his goal was to influence compiler builders ... you know we get most of the way to memory safety with a few gcc/clang extensions and some mem safe drop in libs (maybe using some of libcurls nice funcs) ... no comment on usage of GC and special runtime
it could still work for special occasions to really minimize the risk of memory problems without having to port code. After all, it's a new project and it can already do much.

Za nějaký český PeerTube server bych se přimlouval. S tím bych klidně pomohl, alespoň finančně. Třeba bych Petra s jeho Městskou cyklistikou přemluvil, aby byl i tady ve Fediverse. Ale je to trochu závazek. Nějaká dlouhodobost instance je podle mě důležitější než u Mastodonu. Nikdo velice netrvá na tom, aby byly jejich plky na Mastodonu dlouhodobě dostupné, ale u videí to je jiné, to se bere tak trochu jako archiv, ke kterému se lidi vrací.
@jan @StudioHonzaCZ Jestli bude zájem nebo ne, to nemůžu zaručit. Ale když vidím, že všechny přednášky na open-source konferencích jako @openalt se sypou jen na Youtube, tak kousek open-source fandy ve mně vždycky umře.
@sesivany @jan @StudioHonzaCZ @openalt Uz jsme to resili aspon 10x, ale zatim se u nas nenasel nikdo kdo by ten peertube nainstaloval. Jednu dobu jsme se snazili zverejnit videa proste jako avi ke stazeni (stejne jak to delal fosdem), ale z toho taky nejak seslo. Asi starneme a chybi nam drajv

I’d be more receptive to this (publication and) article and author (I’m still boosting it) if as an artist I weren’t so totally disgusted by their use of an AI generated image that harms the livelihood of creatives, to complain about AI harming the livelihood of tech people. Edit - If this was done by the publication without the authors input even worse.
Sometimes I wonder whether this is the result of well-meaning folk who don’t know what they’re doing. Other times I wonder whether there are deliberate attempts to poison and overwhelm the volunteer-driven, open, accessible, valuable-but-not-profitable Internet.
I don’t fear Skynet launching an all-out attack on mankind so much as I fear bots swarming all human IO like midges at an Irish camp site in July. Debilitation by irritation.
@isotopp @ArtHarg Wow. I thought it was terrible when my co-workers send me AI "solutions" for issues, but at least they tell me it's AI so I can ignore it.
An anonymous reader shares a report: Software vulnerability submissions generated by AI models have ushered in a "new era of slop security reports for open source" -- and the devs maintaining these projects wish bug hunters would rely less on results…
Ho notato che il server a.gup.pe risulta sospeso da puntarella ("responsabili di attacco DDoS a bida") e bida o silenziato da lucci.xyz e devianze ("Domain used for DOS attacks.") perché "Domain used for DOS attacks"
In realtà il server gup serve solo a creare gruppi activitypub e i suoi account sono tutti gruppi che (un po' come le vecchie liste di distribuzione) consentono agli utenti di fare conversazioni tematiche. Se ci sono account molesti (immagino sia soprattutto shitposting) da quel server è solo colpa dei singoli utenti che lo usano; dovrebbero perciò essere sospesi quei singoli utenti o al massimo i singoli gruppi
Per essere più chiari, l'admin di gup non gestisce i gruppi gup. E gli account gup.pe non possono spammare, ma al massimo sono gli account di altre istanze del Fediverso che li menzionano, menzionando altri utenti: basta bloccare loro!
Chiamare questo un attacco DdOS è quindi sbagliato.
Qui potrete trovare una spiegazione di come funziona il sistema di gruppi di gup.pe: a.gup.pe/
Come saprete io non amo particolarmente i gruppi gup.pe e preferisco utilizzare i gruppi Friendica (che funzionano praticamente allo stesso modo dei gruppi gup) oltre che i gruppi Lemmy e, in realtà, ne gestisco direttamente diversi, ma ritengo che anche i gruppi gup.pe siano un patrimonio importante per tutto il Fediverso e che quindi non dovrebbero essere mai bloccati.
Fatemi avere un riscontro e, se avete informazioni diverse da quelle che ho io, proprio per i motivi che ho spiegato sopra, sono comunque direttamente interessato a capire quali possono essere i rischi potenziali. Quindi per favore, fatemi sapere 😅
Day 10 - #adventOfIOSAccessibility. Toggles or UISwitches are often found separated from the label that precedes (and describes) them; with an unclear label; missing a value, trait, or hint; or even not being actionable at all.
In the 2021 movie Silk Road, at around 19:23-19:26 into the film we can see Ross Ulbricht, the lead character, write a program on his laptop that uses curl.
I wonder if there's any movie where they went as far as creating the user on some platform and ask the question (or write whatever) as is seen in the movie

I’ve replaced all the comments in my robots.txt file with a more readable and detailed web page on scrapers I block. It includes info on the multiple blocking-approaches and criteria I use, commonly-blocked scrapers I allow, and more fact-checking than most of the more comprehensive alternatives.
Here’s my thought process when deciding whether to block a scraper from seirdy.one, the scrapers I block, the scrapers I allow, and the ways I block them.
yo, I'm looking into additional things to block in the robots.txt for my website (basing a decent bit of it off of yours, plus any additional stuff I find), and I felt like I'd want to just throw this your way
I'm personally planning to block everything from the first url, as well as the following from the second url
all AI related tools
several of the "Intelligence Gatherers"
possibly several of the "Scrapers"
I would also like to note, BLEXBot is listed on the second site as an "SEO Crawler" and it indicates that it does not believe it is AI-related nvm, I mis-remembered and thought you had blocked it due to it being AI-related
do you have some examples of things that are incorrect?
there are several on that list that would probably be good to block, which you don't block (unsure if they're actually used in practice anymore or if they're just historical), such as
@solonovamax Several of those are LLM clients but not actually used to train LLMs. They are search crawlers used to power links in search engines that use third-party pre-trained LLMs. I decided that opting out of those only stops my site from being cited, but doesn’t stop LLM training.
@solonovamax I describe my criteria in the “Criteria for bad-bot blocking” section, and elaborate in “Exceptions: scrapers I allow, despite meeting some block-criteria”
Property lists are essentially XML files with a .plist extension. Here's how to edit them using the command line in the macOS Terminal app. appleinsider.com/articles/24/1…
Is anyone looking at levels of volunteer activity in digital public goods like Wikipedia, Reddit, and stackoverflow and whether exploitation of user content is associated with a decline in human participation?
As companies use ai to convert communal public goods into AI products, while extracting value from them, we could see a general decline in contributions that could lead to ecosystem collapse. Would love to see in depth scholarship wrestling with this. Cc @mako
Today NYC Mayor Eric Adams said he hoped recent events would accelerate implementation of a mask ban.
Reminder: There is no evidence that mask bans stop crime. Mask bans make cities more unsafe because preventing people from wearing masks increases the spread of diseases.
I'm going to geek out about a pop song. Something randomly made me think of the song "Lights" by Ellie Goulding (first released in 2010, then as a single in 2011). Yes, it has the same four-chord sequence through pretty much the whole song. So if you're going to do that, it's important to have variation in the arrangement, and especially a good build-up. The single version really ruins this IMO. Compare:

The difference in length is only 35 seconds. And why was 4 minutes 5 seconds deemed too long for radio anyway? But to shave off those 35 seconds, they condensed the song too much for my taste.
For example, the single version brings in the bass and four-on-the-floor kick drum as soon as the vocal starts, and adds the snare halfway through the first verse. The album version doesn't start the kick drum until halfway through the first chorus, and saves the snare until the second verse.
But the way they actually eliminated those 35 seconds was by shortening both the bridge and ending, and pushing elements of both to earlier in the song. The cello (or whatever that instrument is) from the original bridge is moved into the latter half of the second verse, where it now has to compete with the vocal, and the breakdown from the original bridge is gone. Then one of the "home, home" lines from the ending is moved into what's left of the bridge.
I wonder what exactly motivated those changes to the single version of the song. I guess the point of bringing in the full rhythm section faster would be to sell the song to the listener faster. But why shorten the bridge and ending, and move sections of both into earlier parts of the song? Did someone determine that there was actually too much bridge and ending in the original?
And would I think there was something amiss if I had never heard the original? Probably not.
@pesh I think I only knew about the album version because the local radio station where I first heard the song (in 2017) played that version, probably by mistake. That station also played non-standard mixes of some other songs. The operations of that independently owned station seemed, on the whole, only semi-competent. Yet I was cheering for it as the underdog. I might do a whole thread on that for the station's would-be 10th anniversary early next year.
Things that are remixed for radio are usually bad. I'm glad that with the advent of streaming services, that practice seems to be going away a bit. And then there's the song Better in Time by Leona Lewis, which had a single version that has a much better build-up and now seems to have supplanted the album version, but I remember struggling to find it in good quality in 2008. Album version (which is now the more obscure one): youtube.com/watch?v=mFRo-7113t… New/single version: youtube.com/watch?v=qSxyffSB7w…

There have been some major changes with more to come. One thing that will affect existing users is, there is no longer a fenrir-daemon separate from the main launcher. It now launches in the background using just "fenrir" with the old option to run in the foreground now a flag. So to launch and keep Fenrir in the foreground:
fenrir -f
This means those relying on service files for systemd or runit, you will need to update your service file for the new version. The fenrir-git package available from the AUR is already updated for the new version. If you use a package manager such as yay to install and update fenrir, you may want to remove the existing cached package before upgrading:
rm -rf ~/.cache/yay/fenrir-git
yay -S fenrir-git
There will be a stable release coming hopefully later this month. Thee has been lots of refactoring and code cleanup over the last couple weeks.
If you are interested in contributing to Fenrir, pull requests are welcome or contact me if you would like to be added directly to the project. Both python coders and documentation writers are needed.
