Konec spekulací o hajlování

DER SPIEGEL uvádí, že aktivisté, kteří promítli nacistický pozdrav Elona Muska na průčelí jeho továrny Tesla v Grünheide, začali být vyšetřování Úřadem na ochranu ústavy, protože používání nacistických symbolů je v Německu zakázáno, a to i v uměleckém kontextu.

Z toho plyne, že Úřad na ochranu ústavy považuje gesto Elona Muska za nacistický symbol či gesto. Tady to tedy máte od nejlepší autority: šlo o Hitlergruß.

»Heil Tesla« – Staatsschutz ermittelt nach Projektion auf Tesla-Fabrik
spiegel.de/panorama/elon-musk-…
Haben Aktivisten tatsächlich Elon Musks umstrittene Geste an die Tesla-Fabrik in Grünheide projiziert? Die Polizei sprach zunächst von einem »Fake«. Nun ermittelt der Staatsschutz wegen des Verbreitens verfassungswidriger Symbole.

Ano a ve článku je, mimo jiné, uvedeno: "Es geht um die Verbreitung und Projektion dieses aus dem Kontext gerissenen Bildes, welches eine Geste zeigt, die dem Hitlergruß zum Verwechseln ähnlich sieht."
Tudíž, pokud to chápu správně, tak jde o to, že gesto samotné vytrhli z kontexu (mohlo znamenat cokoli) a následně ho vlastně 'zneužili' k propagaci, ze které jsou viněni - což podtrhuje i zmíněné slovo 'heil'.

každá občanka je dnes smart card, na kterou si můžeš nahrát elektronický podpis a přihlašovat se s ní do egovernmentu, ale používá to minimum lidí, protože potřebuješ čtečku a v Linuxu binární blob. Elektronický podpis mám ve formě certifikátu na disku. Není to ten nejvyšší level, ale pro normálního občana je to dostačující a v Linuxu není potřeba nic navíc. Do egovernmentu se zase přihlašuju přes FIDO klíč. Není třeba žádná čtečka, žádný binární blob. Můžu si vybrat, jestli chci GoTrust, Yubikey...

@sesivany no já to nedavno řešil: Nejdřív jsem koukal na poštu, pak na první certifikační a paxem se na to vykvajznul s tím, že nemám zájem zvyšovat beztak již vysokou úroveň entropie okolního vesmíru.

Čtečku na eObčanku mám. Jednou se mi s ní povedlo přihlásit do portálu občana.
Podruhé jsem nějak pomotal hesla a tak byla eObčanka zablokována.

Tím pro mě celá záležitost skončila, jelikož je to stejně efektivní jako dát kartičku do mikrovlnky, jen to není trestné 😈

@sesivany Pro státní správu typicky stačí poslat dokument datovkou (bere se jako podepsanej) a na soukromoprávní věci existuje tohle (na věci do 2 mega): bankid.cz/lide/podepisujte/
Ale jako jinak je to holt byznys Český pošty a tvoje rozhořčení plně sdílím: cztwitter.cz/@Razemix/11259858…

@Razemix No, to BankID bych snad ani nedoporučoval. Ty jejich certifikáty nemají žádnou kvalitu, nikdo jejich kořenové certifikáty neuznává, nikdo není schopen nezávisle ověřit pravost podpisů.
Nejvíc mě rozesmála ta jejich argumentace, že podpisy sice nejdou ověřit, ale to ještě neznamená, že nejsou pravé. 😂
Tohle má smysl, pokud člověk podepisuje dokument u nějakého subjektu, který má nějaký smluvní vztah s BankID, třeba pojišťovna, v rámci toho je nějaká důvěra zajištěná, ale jako prostředek pro podepisování dvěma nezávislými subjekty je to omyl.

podle mě to vzniklo jako ověřování integrity dokumentů v rámci služby BankID. Tam to samozřejmě funguje, nemusíš řešit, jak to může někdo nezávisle ověřit. Vlastně ti stačí soukromé certifikáty, protože ověřuješ jen ty sám. Problém nastal v momentě, kdy nějakou chytrou hlavu napadlo to nabízet veřejnosti k podepisování dokumentů mimo tu službu.

@Razemix @sesivany jo Bank ID Estonsko opustilo už před několika lety byl hrozný problém s bezpečnosti. Každá banka to implementovala po svém, hromada bugu úniky dat, až to ztratilo level důvěry a do egov se s tím už několik let nedá prohlásit. A přesně v té době to ČR implementovalo jako super věc.

@sesivany Tak v Česku se tím nepřihlásíš úplně ke všemu, možná právě ze stejnýho důvodu. Ale zas máme Mobilní klíč eGovernmentu (info.identita.gov.cz/mep/), ke kterýmu nepotřebuješ čtečku. 🤷‍♂️

@Razemix zase ta možnost vybrat si providera se mi líbí. BankID jsem nikdy moc nepoužíval, ale s MojeID jsem spokojený. Splňuje to všechny certifikace až na úroveň nejvyšší, můžu se přihlašovat přes hardwarový token nebo přes aplikaci v mobilu a střídat to (ne vždy mám ten token u sebe), používám stejného providera pro egovernment i pro další weby...

@sesivany jaky binární blob potřebuješ? V estonském případě potřebuješ CCID (opensource) a opensc (opět opensource) na podepisování dokumentu lokálně máme DigiDoc app opět opensource i s libs pro vlastní integrace, web browser podpora pomoci web-eid opět opensource (toto například kompatibilní s id následujících států Estonsko, Finsko, Litva, Lotyšsko, Belgie, Chorvatsko)

Když jsem dostal před 5 lety novou občanku, chtěl jsem to vyzkoušet, ale pak přišla Identita občana, která umožňuje přihlašování přes různé providery včetně MojeID, a elektronický podpis mám už roky jako certifikát na disku, takže jsem to neměl dál potřebu řešit a už to nikdy znovu nezkoušel.

More than 98% of Costco shareholders voted down an anti-DEI proposal at their annual meeting. The proposal had been filed by the National Center for Public Policy Research, a conservative think tank. In its Notice of Annual Meeting of Shareholders, Costco's board of directors had urged shareholders to reject the motion, saying: "Our efforts at diversity, equity and inclusion remind and reinforce with everyone at our Company the importance of creating opportunities for all." Here's more from @AxiosNews.

In 2022, someone who seems to have given up on the Fediverse posted a cool thing. It's a sequence inside a 3.14 kb executable, which, when run, takes a little bit of time to render, but produces this stupidly effective earworm.
I still have the executable file, which is clean, but I feel weird linking directly to it in a post.

Anyway, if you want to hear what can be squished into a tiny executable, here's the rendered audio from it.

The name of the executable is RedHeat_-_Meow x 3.14.exe

EDIT:
I found the original creator of this, and sadly, he passed away last year.

wow, but it uses 109 MB of ram once run? That's insane. I wonder how a small 3 KB file can just, use that much Ram. I bet it might error out in something like Win95, unless it can work with less constraints on that.

@rommix0 I guess unlike those annoying keygens, at least you can just press a single escape key and it closes. Ha. When I heard the initial tune I thought it sounded a bit keygen-esk and like chiptune music of course, but I've also seen those coded more lazy and just using a player lib with a data bit in the exe to then play it through that player, which they may or may not link inside of it. It also gets the job done but would be a lot quicker than the way this is made, with the downside of a larger file by a few hundred kilobytes.

I really enjoyed this #podcast. It is a critique of how the internet has affected democracy. Chris Hayes and Ezra Klein provide some interesting insights. They talk too about podcasts and how the format itself hasn't (yet) been captured by the attention economy. I was reminded about Aaron Swartz’s work to create the open standard build on RSS which is still the way people download podcasts. #democracy #EzraKlein

IMHO it's more a "war" on shifting attention *away from* important stuff and over to whatever narratives du jour suit the powers that be, including the New York TImes I might add, who spend a lot of time crafting them.

As long as podcasts are "available wherever you get your podcasts" and not only in walled gardens like Spotify and Audible, they will hopefully be ok.

You could not pay me to sign up to Spotify to get a podcast from them--it will never, ever happen.

Γεια σε όλους! Είχαμε ένα αίτημα από έναν χρήστη που ρωτούσε αν γνωρίζουμε κάποια κοινότητα NVDA ή ομάδα email στην ελληνική γλώσσα, κ.λπ. Γνωρίζει κανείς κάτι που μπορούμε να τον παρακαλέσουμε;

Hi everyone! We had a request from a user asking if we know of a Greek-language NVDA community or email group, etc. Is anyone aware of anything we can direct them to please?

The National Flag of Greece consists of four white and five blue alternating horizontal stripes, with a white cross on the upper left corner. Blue and white are the national colours of Greece, as blue symbolizes the sky and seas and white denotes the purity of the Greek independence struggle. The cross represents the Christian religion. The nine blue-and-white horizontal stripes of the flag stand for the nine syllables of the Greek motto Eleftheria i Thanatos (Greek for Freedom or Death).

Earlier today, Google rejected a feature request asking for the option to use DNS-over-HTTPS servers other than Google’s and Cloudflare’s in Android: issuetracker.google.com/issues…

According to Google’s own testing, DoH is more private, secure, and performant than DoT on Android. There is no reason whatsoever to limit it to a handful of Google-approved servers.

Just like with Manifest V3 in Chrome, this arbitrary restriction on what DNS servers can use the most modern technologies in Android is a clear example of Google abusing their position to campaign against blocking invasive trackers. One of the clearest uses for custom DNS servers is the ability to block privacy-invasive services like Google’s at the DNS level.

Google rejects feature request for arbitrary DNS-over-HTTPS server support

https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/331250145?pli=1#comment7 Some background, since 2022 Android has used DNS-over-HTTP/3 instead of DNS-over-TLS for its Private DNS setting, but only for two predefined servers (Google and Cloudflare).

@rommix0 @luiscarlosgonzalez oooh yeah. I guess that makes a lot more sense why I got a model trained for RVC in like 30-40 mins on Google Notebook at the time, that's actually not the worse performance difference. I'm hoping as more we get the optimized models and less epics required for training, that can improve for other things too. I've used the M1Pro GPU so far for the local LLM stuff and just being able to code in a massively wasteful way offline with still decent output return is hard to beat, so having that on Windows as well would tempt me for a GPU, for sure.

I'm fairly confident it will be Media Transfer Protocol (MTP), which is used widely by Android devices. Linux supports MTP, at least under the GNOME desktop environment, where it's mounted by default. Microsoft Windows supports it by default in File Explorer. However, macOS doesn't and you need to install additional tools that I haven't personally tried but which may work in this case.

Day three of Trump's term and the largest push for surveillance capitalism yet has been made: Project Stargate will be a $500.000.000.000 (500 billion USD) data center used for running a multitude of AIs with the purpose of spying on you.

Larry Ellison, the world's second richest man and CEO of Oracle, one of the main partners of Stargate, said:

“Citizens will be on their best behavior, because we're constantly recording and reporting everything that's going on [...]. We're using A.I. to monitor the video.”
