This means "we know the true reason for this message, but we can't tell you the true reason for this message."
In most cases, the true reason is "your password doesn't match", but we will display the same message in other situations in which the login fails, e.g. trying to brute force a password and having your IP address blocked.
If there was a different message for that scenario, it would tell the attacker exactly when to dispose of that IP address and change to a new one. Having a single message for both cases makes a brute force attack a lot more complicated.
While driving, users can now ask Gemini to answer questions about places of interest on their route, return results about other topics (like sports or news), and even perform tasks like adding events to their calendar.
But nobody in our open source world likes or wants to collect the data we need to do this... until someone takes on this task it's going stay almost impossible to get normal users to switch.
Hey folks, I'm considering to #selfhost my mastodon again, only I'm looking at #GoToSocial because it's soooo lightweight. Is anyone using it full time of their instance? How does it feel admin/maintenance wise?
End of Japanese community at Mozilla due to the introduction of AI-based translation.
The community members have expressed disappointment and frustration that their long term volunteer efforts and local knowledge were being replaced by machine translation, which they felt did not match the quality of human provided support.
This is why Mozilla sucks so much, they are going crazy like rest of the industry.
Every day, Mozilla leadership wakes up and thinks: "How can we piss off the tiny number of remaining users who are our biggest fans?" , all while C suites get millions in salary and add AI slop everywhere.
@hub @poulet_benoit The same McKinsey consulting firm whose first response to helping any company is to fire people. They use and abuse their own new hires like crazy, and take any $$ they can for their shit services.
It's not about value added work but sucking as much profit margin as possible from dry stones.
@Tutanota I have found #ZenBrowser and have noted that you are sponsoring it. Is anyone from you involved in the development or review? The reason for asking: I am wondering how secure and legit #ZenBrowser is.
While on the topic of colorful #curl graphs. Complexity distribution in the source code over time. The recent effort to simplify code in curl has been done by multiple people through the last year or so. The graph's cyclomatic complexity is the score shown by the pmccabe tool.
@bitbraindev The script gets all release tags, then for each release it iterates over all source code files at that time and pipes them trough the pmccabe tool and counts the sizes of the different buckets and generates a CSV file with all that. In a final step gnuplot converts the data into a graph.

@dpecos it's a custom script which was also later improved for use in larger code bases such as the linux kernel. I blogged about it last year: daniel.haxx.se/blog/2024/10/31…
Very cool graph! Just so I understand it correctly: For each point in time, you have counted how many lines of code were last created in the different (2-year-interval) time periods?
personally I like the archeology look of this. How older layers of civilization is just squeezed down into the mud as we build new and replace things on top but none of the older segments vanish *completely*
@nblr new features, different backends, more careful code for existing features I would say. But sure, we have added support for new protocols too over the years
The World Bank’s latest data shows a quiet global triumph: 93% of people aged 15 to 24 can now read and write, up from 87% in 2000. In many regions, including East Asia, Latin America, and Central Europe, youth literacy has reached or neared universal levels, marking one of the most successful, least reported stories in development. data.worldbank.org/indicator/S… #ShareGoodNewsToo

It has occurred to me that, if Unix didn't provide sbrk, you could implement it in terms of exec.
1. Create a file. 2. Copy your current core image into it. 3. Save the stack contents as part of the data area. 4. Adjust the data size up. 5. Adjust the entry point to resume at a stack restore routine. 6. exec the file.
Based on replies, it sounds like you're not talking about a modern Unix. On modern Unixes, is there any reason for an allocator to ever prefer sbrk over mmap?

Lately I've been seeing a lot of lacking alt text on audio posts on mastodon. Guys, audio alt text is just as important as image alt text. Just as we preach at people posting images that "a diagram" or "a funny meme" isn't helpful, "a piece of music" or "strange noises" aren't helpful audio alt texts. Describe the audio, not just the basic outline of what it is. We can't yell at image posters to do something we're not even doing ourselves. Just as image alt texts help more than blind people, audio alt texts help more than deaf people. Please try.
+1 to this. All the damn way. I won't even engage with audio that doesn't have a description if it's posted directly on Mastodon. If it's an off-site file, that's kind of different.
@FreakyFwoof I rarely even engage with off-site files. 1, I don't have energy to click onto who knows what to hear your file, and 2, it likely won't be described on there. But maybe that's just me.
I link directly to mp3's or youtube when I post, and if I do youtube, then yes, I write descriptions, but Many don't. As for mp3's, I've usually written exactly what it is in the text of the post itself.
I try to, unless the description of what the audio is is self explanitory in the post. LIke, say the post is a post talking about someone demonstrating it, youv'e now described what the audio is going to be. I suppose, lol, and no I"M not saying I"M never going to audio caption, because I try to. But, wouldn't it be redundant, to say in the audio description. The sound of my dulset tones, me pressing keys on my keyboard, the sounds from the keyboarding including pianos, bells, drums, demo music, and more. I Already said in the post, that it's a demo of my new keyboard. HYpethetically. Now if I said just... here's a good song, and didn't describe the song? That'd be meh. I'd probably say. Here's a good song... Audio description, a moving 1970's pop song in D major. Featuring a warm female vocalist, lush strings, solid drums, a very good bass, and fantastic vocal harmonies. It is around, 105 BPM.
@cordova5029 Oddly I still alt text my audio, even if it's explained in the post. Repetitive? Maybe, but I don't like to take chances. I feel weird if I don't do it
Hey, Goog, I don't have a TV. I don't know what you're displaying where, but it's not mine. *taps one of the numbers randomly and it happens to be the right one*
A friend of mine was recently traveling in europe.
She got back to the US this week, and sees a LinkedIn invite from someone who she doesn’t know (not unusual) but lives in the area she just visited (more unusual).
Further investigation revealed it was the border control guy who checked her passport at the airport.
Development on External Data Checker had been paused for quite some time after one of the maintainers became inactive on GitHub, and I suspect that Endless no longer uses it extensively, internally.
Over the past 8-9 months, I’ve tried to revive some of it by adding some new features, fixing some old bugs, and merging people's PRs that went stale for years. It currently means I'm effectively "maintaining" / "helping" (whatever) yet another thing but hopefully it invites some more contributions.
In the latest iteration of things, we should soon (TM) get support for updating git submodules in it (maybe even runtimes).
This is only loosely part of manifest IOW it's tracked externally, then included into manfiest. It would be great to have it automatically updated as well though to make sure everyone gets to benef...
Thanks for that. BTW do you know what would be the best way to download YouTube videos with this? When I do quick convert it works, but it names the file with something from the Youtube URL, I think. Do you know of a way to fix that? Or am I doing it wrong.
You can convert videos with better file names using converter presets. To access the preset dialog, go to the convert menu and press period (.). In the dialog, there will be a list of presets with names like [default] and [last used]. To create a new preset, for example for YouTube, select an existing one such as [default], then right click it and select duplicate, then you can select the duplicated preset and press f2 to rename it. After that, click the load button and you'll be editing the preset. The most important thing for YouTube is to make sure the destination is File name pattern: %title%.

I like how the accordionist plays an obvious wrong note at 7:26, but they were about two-thirds of the way through the song at that point, and studio time and recording tape were expensive, so they decided to just keep going. That kind of "happy little accident" would never be allowed in today's highly-edited music. youtube.com/watch?v=NgR5wF_NMB…

This dumb password rule is from European Union Intellectual Property Office.
- The password must be between 8 and 30 characters, containing at least a digit [0-9], a lower case letter [a-z], an upper case letter [A-Z] and one of [!@#$%&*,.] characters

This is standard security practice.
