Social Democracy, an alternate history game set in the Weimar Republic. You control the SPD and fascism is on the rise.

In my playthrough, I tried to ally with the far left and built a strong leftist paramilitary force, leading to civil war against Hitler.

This game is fucking hard.

Sigo insistiendo: Deberían prohibir todo tipo de estufas en la calle.
El que tenga frío que venga abrigado de casa. Ya bastante calentamos el planeta como para desperdiciar energía calentando a unos caprichosos.

Las estufas de gas se resisten a desaparecer de las terrazas de Barcelona

the difference is still in RVC vs multi-modal real-time speech and lyrics generation. For simple voice output with multiple sentences it's lesss of an issue as they can either use a pre-created file to RVC and transform the voice into another, or direct TTS without the burden of actually needing to generate the final noise atmosphere and mechanics, which falls more squarely in the territory of general transformer models.

🚨 Gmail’s AI Security Risk 🚨

A @Forbes article reveals a Gmail vulnerability @Google has CONFIRMED but WON’T FIX.

Security researchers find that Gemini AI which is integrated into Gmail and other Workspace tools, is susceptible to indirect prompt injection attacks.

So why did Google issue a “Won’t Fix (Intended Behavior)” ticket?

@tardis @pcdevil I totally agree that there are not too much to choose from, and I really believe in everyone's right to choose what they want to (based on their focus and needs).
But there are some cool projects for smartphones that are worth the look (@GrapheneOS , @calyxinstitute , @LineageOS), and also some great alternative software to use in replacement of the apps and services of the big players.

🎉 VHSky.cz v médiích! 🎉
Cnews o nás napsalo článek: Český projekt VHSky bude konkurovat YouTube. Diváci se při sledování videa stávají peery. cnews.cz/clanky/cesky-projekt-…

Jen chci zdůraznit, že VHSky.cz nevznikly jako konkurence YouTube – naším cílem není nahradit tuto platformu, ale vytvořit bezpečné, nezávislé a komunitní prostředí pro sdílení originálního obsahu.

If Elon Musk can unlock your Tesla, provide location data to authorities, and recordings of people inside the car,...what else can he (or a hacker) do with your vehicle?

Crash it?
Disable the steering or brakes?
Release conversations to competitors?
Photograph your kids?
Prevent it from starting in an emergency?
Force you to upgrade needlessly?
Make it very expensive to maintain or operate?

Enshittification means paying, but not owning, and certainly doesn't mean control.

"Apple has agreed to pay $95 million to settle a lawsuit alleging that its voice assistant Siri routinely recorded private conversations that were then sold to third parties for targeted ads." arstechnica.com/tech-policy/20…

My whole life I have seen advertisements for desk jobs that required people to have driver's licenses, use of a vehicle, and insurance, even when there was no driving involved in the job at all.

Requiring a driver's license for employment is now prohibited in California if driving is not reasonably expected to be part of the job duties. This is a huge victory for people who use transit and cycling for their mobility.

For anyone who ants to try the new Toby Doom Launcher, you can download it from stormux.org/downloads/toby_doo…

Just unzip it and place all the files in the top level Toby Doom folder. The zip file contains the source code, the compiled .exe launcher, and some examples for custom games in the TobyCustom folder. There's also a _internal folder that contains all the stuff the .exe launcher needs.

Hopefully it works well for you. For #nvda users, you will need to press alt+down arrow to expand the combo boxes. I plan to eventually look into this and see if they can be expanded by default, but for now it's time for a break so I can actually play Doom instead of coding for it. 🤘

Cudowne. Dziennikarz odszedł, nie odcięto mu dostępu, kradł newsy kolegów ze szkiców artykułów i publikował jako swoje. Koledzy zauważyli i podłożyli fejka, ten łyknął. Pamiętajcie, odbierajcie dostępy odchodzącym pracownikom...

Ever seen the HTML produced by an MS Word export? Blood fountains from your eyes. I once cleaned up such a HTML, and the size of the resulting clean HTML was less than 20% of the original. They even used CSS classes, but then explicitly repeated their definitions every.single.time (like "<p class="foo"><font size…><font family…><b><i>blabber</i></b></font></font></p>", with "foo" of course having font size, family, italics, bold already).

But right, worse examples are no excuses…

If you're surprised Tesla takes and keeps recordings from their cars after seeing the news about the Cybertruck in Vegas, you shouldn't be. This is not something new. Tesla has been taking and storing media for many years, claiming it's used to train their AI capabilities. You can't opt out either.

And Tesla employees do access it, make fun of you, make memes, and share the content internally, without any legitimate reason to access the content.

While this is about Tesla, this is a growing problem across this and other industries.
