Vanadium version 143.0.7499.34.0 released

Changes in version 143.0.7499.34.0:

  • update to Chromium 143.0.7499.34

A full list of changes from the previous release (version 142.0.7444.171.0) is available through the Git commit log between the releases.

This update is available to GrapheneOS users via our app repository and will also be bundled into the next OS release. Vanadium isn't yet officially available for users outside GrapheneOS, although we plan to do that eventually. It won't be able to provide the WebView outside GrapheneOS and will have missing hardening and other features.

Looking for suggestions;
- 10yo wants to get into "coding", I am a poor teacher
- "coding classes"/clubs no longer seem to exist, at least in Hobart, anymore
- online classes seem risky, don't know if they will be as inviting as something hands on with other kids and live discussion
- we had looked into a programmable robot, to make things a bit real and interactive; one I was looking to buy (Sphero SPRK+) seemed ideal, but it has been discontinued and the new model is 2x the price

Anyone have any tips on things to investigate?

@pietervdvn yeah I think she is at the point of being bored with what Scratch can do - I have found some other good environments using Lua or Python, haven't quite managed to get her far in them myself.

And yeah, coderdojo seems to be a thing that *used* to exist here, but I can't see any evidence it still does (I admit, possibly all this stuff is on Facebook now which I don't use 😐)

GrapheneOS Foundation Comments On FBI Helping Criminals In Collaboration With European Countries

Please listen to this podcast about ANOM:

darknetdiaries.com/transcript/…

The FBI ran a sting operation in Europe where they created their own 'secure' phone and messaging platform. Their OS used portions of our code and was heavily marketed as being GrapheneOS or based on GrapheneOS.

Through this operation, the FBI provided criminals in Europe with a communication network they heavily trusted. It gave them much more confidence to coordinate and commit crimes. The vast majority of this crime was ignored for years to avoid exposing ANOM as being a honey pot.

In cooperation with many European governments, the FBI heavily encouraged and facilitated organized crime in Europe. US and European governments facilitated drug trafficking, human trafficking, murders, rape, kidnapping and much more for years while claiming it was GrapheneOS.

It's an outrageous infringement on the GrapheneOS copyright and trademarks. US and European governments did massive harm to the GrapheneOS project through doing this. They placed us in very real danger of violence from organized crime by selling fake GrapheneOS devices to them.

GrapheneOS building technology to protect privacy and security is completely legal. Our work is strongly protected by Canadian, European and American laws. A minuscule portion of our userbase are criminals and the claims being made by the French government about that are lies.

It's very likely a lot of the crime facilitated by ANOM wouldn't have happened without these governments providing criminals with a communications network they believed was completely secure. The way they wrapped it up doesn't absolve them of what they facilitated for years.

France's government and law enforcement wants you to believe GrapheneOS and Signal are somehow responsible for crime. French law enforcement operates with impunity and has extraordinarily levels of corruption and criminal behavior. They're the ones committing and enabling crime.

Krásné dobré ráno mí zmrzlí mastodoňané! 🙋‍♀️🐶🐈
Byli jsme vítat nový den. Herdek tam je zima! Na teploměr jsem se podívala až při návratu domů. Mínus osm. Krásné. Já si říkala, že se ten led pod Lordem Archibaldem neprolomil.😂 Apropo, 😁 Lord Archibald. Ráno byl obléknut do svého apartního svetříku. Ano bystrý pozorovateli. Je to přesně TEN, který nosil jako malé štěně. A byl mu tenkrát akorát.....Eeeeee.... Stále je mu akorát.... Eeee.....tedy....tolik naposledy k jeho štěněcí obezitě......
Vy si dávejte pozor! Některé svetry prochází zvláštním vytahováním a smršťováním. Podle potřeby. 😁😇

Time for me to get dogpiled: I do not see the problem with AI image descriptions. I see a lot of negativity from blind people who I have a ton of respect for saying that it's exclusionary and shitty, but like...I use them when I post photos on Mastodon so people aren't completely clueless. Not putting any description at all because I'm *blind* and unable to describe my own images feels more exclusionary than using a machine that you know isn't perfect, but still at least gets the point across. I do agree that generally speaking, we should not normalize humans using AI image descriptions instead of writing alt text, but come on guys. All things can be overused, but that doesn't mean they're entirely pointless.

"What is the relationship of science and technology to human history, and how have Marxists conceptualized this problematic within historical materialism? The work of Boris Hessen represents one of the most sophisticated attempts to apply a materialist analysis to the history of science—specifically, how the economic needs of early capitalism influenced what we now think of as modern science and the Scientific Revolution. In this blog, I explore how Hessen pursues his analysis in his seminal essay “The Social and Economic Roots of Newton’s Principia” (henceforth referred to as “Newton’s Roots”).

While Hessen did not develop the first Marxist analysis of science, Hessen’s approach was one of the first truly systematic attempts. Moreover, his work helps us see past the often oversimplified division between “Western Marxism” and Soviet thought, revealing a productive tension in international Marxism through attempts to apply historical materialism in understanding science, technology, and nature under capitalist society.

In the same vein, Henryk Grossman makes the connection between science and capitalist society explicit in his work with the Institute of Social Research (Institut für Sozialforschung, or IfS)—several of Grossmann’s articles were published in the IfS’s journal Zeitschrift für Sozialforschung (ZfS). Grossmann was in fact one of the first defenders of Hessen’s work against critics such as George. N. Clark, Richard S. Westfall, etc. as these critics fundamentally misunderstood Hessen’s theses, and, by extension, Grossmann’s own formulation of the relation between science and capitalist society. While both reached similar conclusions independently, and Grossmann’s work is introduced at points, I focus on Hessen’s formulation here."

That's nothing new.
1️⃣ People buy antivirus software and install updates on their laptops, but never care about the router device, the gateway to the internet which is silently online 24/7
2️⃣ Manufacturers only provide one or two updates fixing some user facing features and done. No further security fixes.

That's why I am glad for #Turris. An open router running Linux, the OS I understand and that I use on all my PCs, laptops and servers (and soon phone I hope). With long software support. The first Turris I got is from 2015 and it still gets updates to the newest OpenWRT. ❤️

I had a call from a scammer the other day

Me: “Hello.”

NOT-Microsoft support: “Hello. This is Bob Bobson from Microsoft Support. We are seeing a lot of virus activity from your device.”

Me: “Oh no. My device? Are you sure?”

NOT-Microsoft support: “Oh yes, we have many reports.”

Me: “Oh jeez. How can I fix it?”>;
NOT-Microsoft support: “It’s OK sir. We can help you right now. Are you in front of your device sir?”

Me: “Yes. I was just about to use it. I’m glad you called.”

NOT-Microsoft support: “Yes sir, we are going to help you. Can you please push the Start button?”

Me: “I think it's already on.”

NOT-Microsoft support: “Okay, sir. Now you want to click on Control Panel.”

Me: “I don’t see that.”

NOT-Microsoft support: “Do you see a bunch of information above the Start button?”

Me: “Yes.”

NOT-Microsoft support: “That is your Control Panel.”

Me: “Wow, I didn’t realize it had a name.”

NOT-Microsoft support: “Yes sir, now press on Internet Options.”

Me: “Yeah, I definitely don’t see any Internet options. I don’t think I purchased that feature. This is just a cheap one.”

NOT-Microsoft support: “They all have the Internet sir. Press the Start button again.”

Me: “OK, it’s the same as before.”

NOT-Microsoft support: “That’s OK sir. We are going to restart your device. Can you please turn it off?”

Me: “Ummm…I don’t know how. I’ve never turned it off. Since I bought it, it just kind of stays on all the time.”

NOT-Microsoft support: “There must be an off button on your device. How do you stop it when it’s running?”

Me: “In those cases, I usually press the big button.”

NOT-Microsoft support: “OK sir. Please press that button.”

Me: “Ok.”

NOT-Microsoft support: “Is your device off?”

Me: “No. The door popped open.”

NOT-Microsoft support: “Door? Is there a disc inside the door?”

Me: “No, there’s a burrito.”

NOT-Microsoft support: “Why is there a burrito in your computer?”

Me: “Computer? I thought you said this was microwave support.”

Good news: the router that came with my new fibre internet seems to have a somewhat accessible web interface. The bad news: it doesn't look like it has a lot of advanced functions, such as IP assignment for connected devices. However, I’m hoping that it'll be smart enough to give the NAS the same IP Address, even if it goes down and then comes back up again. I guess I'll find out sooner or later.

A societal attitude we desperately need to end is that unpartnered people aren't as valid or socially acceptable. Single people aren't broken. Single people aren't lesser. Single people can and do have valid and meaningful roles in the world. The attitude that you need a partner to be whole is so unbelievably toxic and I hate it for many reasons. We need to let people choose their own paths for partnerships and quit making it a public social issue surrounding them. Who someone chooses to date or not date should not be as big of a thing as it is. Nobody should ever feel pressure to do something they don't want to do, and that includes finding a partner. Just let single people live their lives, there are all kinds of reasons someone could be single and pushing them around to conform to your societal standards is likely not helping them. If they want a partner and don't have one, your pushing and rushing it is likely just causing unnecessary stress. If they don't want one, you're basically shaming them for their life choices and pushing them into a box they don't belong in. Just let people do their own thing as long as it's not harmful. Okay? Okay. Thank you

What is a WebExtension, and how is it different from a Chrome extension?

howtogeek.com/what-is-a-webext…

Remember the claim to support the standard from Chrome is only when they make the standard. The fact they'd deprecate a large part of the API usefull for content blocking but not realign API to match the standard...

It's the new IE.

I just attended a @pluralistic talk hosted by the @internetarchive , in which he shared that thanks to #enshittification, printer ink now costs over $10K/gallon, more expensive than semen from a prize-winning racehorse.

I searched and found this is also mentioned in his Feb 2025 essay: pluralistic.net/2025/02/22/ink…

After Epson bricked my last printer a couple of years ago, I decided not to buy another personal ink jet printer. There have been some slight inconveniences, but not as many as I worried there would be.

A trip to the neighborhood print shop when something absolutely has to be printed is less stressful than owning a printer that can be bricked whenever the corporation feels like it.

The ink jet cartel needs to be broken.

@DavidGoldfield Maybe they should start by making sure all the basic navigation concepts they established decades ago still function right. If I open notepad, press alt to focus the menu bar and move around, most of the time I can't get out. Escape, alt, f10, nothing works if it gets into this state. Maybe this is fixed in 25h2, my Windows install has 24h2 in which case disregard all of the above, but most modern Microsoft UI's have these little papercuts everywhere. Though I guess this one's a little bigger than a papercut.

@pitermach @DavidGoldfield That's true for pretty much any Windows/Microsoft UI these days, I feel. Task manager, Notepad, Settings, there's all these tiny little issues that really don't need to be there but are, and let's be real: if you can screw up something as simple as Notepad ... you are snoozing behind the round thing that makes the car go in different directions, that is the expression, no? :P

while I did cleared this up in replies regarding the post I forgot to clear it up in the main post itself, so Lemmy clarify. I remember me posting that due to the #exploitation of tweesecake, I was going to, after either we got it completely migrated or updated to the latest mastodon, @ChrisDuffley's domain.
the reason I believe exploitation is because tweesecake is now requiring users to pay to use the application.
while this mayn ot effect the instance itself (yet) I don't exactly like to support companies who do this.

you're paying them to let you use a network that's already free.
it's like iff I made an operating system and said "sorry, we know you own the computer and our OS is open source but....uh...you have to pay to use your computer...".
reminds me heavily of jaws, though granted they are more exploitative and, arguably, moren needed.

still, point still stands
