Did you know IBM helped Hitler carry out the Holocaust? Is it in any way surprising that we can’t do anything about Big Tech and toxic oligarchs like Elon Musk when even those who helped carry out one of the worst tragedies in human history remain unpunished? Should it come as a shock that the very same bastards are funding and pining for fascism today?

To query the inode number from a pidfd, you use a simple fstat() call, and look at the .st_ino field.
There's currently no way to get from a pidfd inode number directly to a process however. Hence, for now you always have to pass around a combination of classic PID and the new pidfd inode number. This can be safely and correctly be turned into a pidfd: 1. first acquire a pidfd from the PID via pidfd_open(). 2. Then fstat() the fd, and check if .st_ino matches the expected value.
If you want a world-wide unique identifier for a process it makes sense to combine the pair of pid_t and pidfd inode number with the system's boot ID (i.e. /proc/sys/kernel/random/boot_id). This triplet is awesome, because for the first time we can uniquely identify a Linux process, globally in this universe.
In systemd we are making use of this heavily now: internally we always store a triplet of pid, pidfd, pidfd inode for referencing processes we manage and…

It troubles me that apparently it needs to be said, but a key factor of online harassment is, that people with literally no personal involvement, stir up a discussion for the kicks.
And then play the "I just wanted to share my opinion" card

Thirteen years ago I found "a bad babe" in Windows

Who’s 0xabadbabe and why?
It is Friday after all, so I'll offer this little glimpse as an example from what I do at work... A while ago, I was working for a customer (who shall remain unnamed here, but let's call it Intel) doing system simulation software.daniel.haxx.se
this and DEADBEEF remind me of one of the Microsoft coding books, maybe Writing Solid Code, that offered the idea of seeing all variables to really bad values, as a way of reminding you to init properly and use them intentionally.
That practice has definitely caused me problems with people who don't ascribe to that ethic.
La Razón:
«La UE saca los colores a los países que como España no han liberalizado las líneas interurbanas de autobús»
Igual comienza a ser hora de que la UE reconozca que la liberalización de los servicios públicos solo ha logrado empeorar el servicio y aumentar los precios de forma injustificada. El objetivo de la empresa privada no es proporcionar servicios sino obtener beneficios.

Buenos días desde la Administración Pública.
Lunes, pero algo más lúcidos por el cambio de horario y el sueño extra. Además, esta semana es corta. Ánimo.
Pero lo que sí es cierto hoy es que en mojácar está cayendo la del pulpo, casi como en Galicia cuando llueve bien, y mañana más de lo mSolo que aquí el suelo no drena tan bien como, por ejemplo, en Santiago.
I had to deal with a freshly unboxed Android phone, and the flipping *clock* app, that was installed by default, came with a privacy policy.
I discovered this because the clock started crying that it couldn't work properly without Google Play Services.
I don't care what the privacy policy was for. I am tired. A clock app does not be into a position to have any privacy policy more involved than "we collect and report no data".
The clock is now disabled.
I am so tired of this.
Is there any current way to get #NVDASR to honor Aria Live Region Assertive, such that new events interrupt speech?
When using the web-based screen reader mode of the Ableton Move with NVDA, you have to wait for the full text before the next event is spoken. Really annoying when quickly turning knobs and such. This doesn't happen with Voiceover on iOS or Mac OS, though it is slower to initially respond.
document.querySelector("[aria-live]").role = "alert";
Thanks.
is there a list of things this actually does/adds to NVDA? I notice it's not an official addon, so no real documentation.
Just so I know really.
Also, since it does work very well, can I share this to the Ableton Move group?
I'm sure we're not the only people who'd benefit from this.
@FreakyFwoof @chikim Here's what it does:
1. Modifies the API that programs use to make NVDA speak to immediately pump, improving responsiveness similar to NVDA issue #14928. For this use case, this isn't needed, but I figured I'd put it in the same addon to avoid having two of them. I've been running with this change for months and haven't noticed anything breaking.
2. Modifies the function that speaks ARIA live regions. If it gets a politeness level of assertive, it cancels speech before speaking. I also added the immediate pumping while I was there.
I can take 1 out without breaking anything. Pumping immediately in my (mostly unscientific) tests with my old gesture timing addon brings the time from pressing a key in Chrome to the response of a live region down from ~30 MS to ~12. I can also revert that.
I'm fine with it being shared.
#Reading the classic #novel Lanark. So far I'm just at the beginning, but this amused me a lot:
Lanark did not wish to be an artist but he felt increasingly the need to do some kind of work, and a writer needed only pen and paper to begin. Also he knew something about writing, for when wandering the city he had visited public libraries and read enough stories to know there were two kinds. One kind was a sort of written cinema, with plenty of action and hardly any thought. The other kind was about clever unhappy people, often authors themselves, who thought a lot but didn’t do very much. Lanark supposed a good author was more likely to write the second kind of book.
