casually patching the kernel to send a quarter megabyte as a *single* argument oh my god i'm laughing hard

Back when 128 kB was the limit for argv+envp, Google was hitting it too because they passed all the configuration for their whole software stack on the command line as --long-option=value switches.

Their solution? Compress the command line. So every binary started by ungzipping argv[1] and parsing it to get the configuration.

The person explaining this to me saw my horrified face, and said with the perfect Hide The Pain Harold smile: "a series of individually completely rational and reasonable decisions led to this." and I have been thinking a lot about it since.

Baha! I knew there was a reason I liked AdGuard. You can now block Microsoft's recall with it. Yay! adguard.com/en/blog/adguard-fo…

AdGuard for Windows v7.21: More protection against Windows tracking

Recall is a feature that takes screenshots of your activity throughout the day. And yes, we have a few privacy concerns about that. So we’ve added a way to block it completely.

I don’t think I’m remotely alone in finding the pathetic and spineless response of world leaders to the war in Gaza absolutely disgusting.

How fucking hard is it to simply DO THE RIGHT THING?

Why? Why the fuck can’t they do the right thing?

Yes, there will be consequences. Yes there will be pushback. Yes there will be spurious accusations of antisemitism. But so what?

I’m so disgusted with almost all of them.

During WWII MANY governments knew what was going on inside Germany, but they were also engaged in a world war.

Here, there’s no excuse. Every single leader in the world KNOWS they are watching genocide (or at the very least ethnic cleansing, if they’re too squeamish for the other word).

How the fuck have they convinced themselves they can somehow tiptoe through this morally, ethically, historically.

It speaks volumes about how amoral they are, to how stupid and short sighted they are.

You know, I absolutely understand the argument that there is very little most countries (other than the US) can do to stop this. But there is something - they can call it what it is. They can stop trading with the perpetrators. They can stop pretending not to see the enormity of the atrocity.

Because this moral deficit, this failure to even be a clear-eyed witness… this is unforgivable. Historically unforgivable.

Meta to stop selling political ads in the EU from October techcrunch.com/2025/07/25/meta… The EU "mandates companies selling ads to clearly label political ads; provide information about their sponsor, the election or referendum they concern, what the ad cost, and targeting mechanisms used".

Meta is sad: “we’re seeing regulatory obligations effectively remove popular products and services from the market".

With whom is micro-targeted brainwashing popular, you shady zuckwits?


Meta to stop selling political ads in the EU from October | TechCrunch

In response to the European Union's incoming regulation of political advertising, Meta said on Friday that it would stop selling and showing political ads in the EU from October 2025.

Nedavali jsme ji tak casto jako zoo, protoze to neni tolik kocarek friendly. Ale to se ted zmenilo! V botance otevreli pobocku Fofr kafe, coz je hipsterina naseho gusta. Muzeme zapomenou na italii na capim hnizde (kavarna v zoo, ne bures) a uzivat poradny kafe.

Ma to mouchy. Nemaji hrnecky. Ale pracuji na tom. Nemaji batch. Ale pracuji na tom. Proste se pocita, ze tam lidi nechodi moc casto, tak na cokoli se zeptate, reknou, ze uz to resi a urcite to bude. Tuto taktiku schvalujeme. Slibem nezarmoutis.

So…in theory sure, it’s always easy to look at the board from the side and say, coulda, shoulda, but we don’t get process improvement by ignoring the miserable realities of human stress responses. While I don’t know for sure, there’s a decent chance that this is the first time some, maybe all, of the principals in this are navigating an insider threat with no runbook, no training, no clear lines of support. When you’re already panicking, a panic-stop is a good idea!

Bookworm's text DAISY support is moving in a good direction, rather slowly of course. With yesterday's modifications, Bookworm can now use heading navigation and bring up the Elements list in text DAISY books. However, links still cannot be activated in such books. github.com/blindpandas/bookwor…

feat: Add daisy V3, support, text only by pauliyobo · Pull Request #326 · blindpandas/bookworm

This PR aims to introduce daisy support into bookworm. Currently, the daisy format targeted is daisy 3. Since adding media support isn't trivial in our case, only text books will be supported. ...

How to find out that you are possibly in a country with a TT earthing system:
- you still find some unearthed sockets, especially in dry rooms,
- you will see two-pole circuit breakers everywhere, because you cannot trust that the voltage between N and earth is always safe,
- you will see RCDs everywhere because earth loop has high resistance

In the case of Spain, I see C10 circuit breakers everywhere. I wonder whether it has something to do with the code or just this place.

Mapcomplete.org ist getting better and better.

A few days ago I discovered that its possible to add manmade bird nests. I was standing near a stork's nest when I found the topic. And directly added a picture.

I also found by chance that beehives can be added. And that there are also viewpoints to add under the theme of nature.

It would be nice if there was some information and not find by chance.

something new thats still hidden under some Theme?

Kdybyste si měli vybrat nějaký online kurz (klidně placený) pro vzdělávání v oboru IT, na co byste se dívali, podle čeho byste vybírali? Vidím, že existuje Coursera, Udemy, edX, LinkedIn Learning...
Předpokládám, že kvalitativně to bude všechno +- stejné, tak jde spíš o hodnotu toho kurzu z pohledu zaměstnavatele ("Jó, Michal viděl 10 hodin videí na Khan Academy, ten bude asi dobrej!")

Prostě vítám tipy ohledně online vzdělávání. Našel jsem coursmos.com/coursera-alternat… , ale chci osobní zkušenosti.

#Conversations_im 2.19.0 is available on #FDroid and Google Play. Please upgrade!

2.19.1 is in the pipeline with some minor bug fixes.

The next version will also show the 'Last Seen' timestamp a little more prominently for those who have Last Seen enabled. (and the underlying algorithm has been modified)

Do you think we should use the subtitle to show number of participants in public conferences now that we made subtitles a part of the UI anyway?

Microsoft: "Your data is safe in Europe."

Under oath, Microsoft's legal chief for France: "No, I cannot guarantee that."

The truth is Microsoft’s marketing is lying: The “sovereign cloud” is nothing but “sovereign washing”.

👉 Read our comment "Digital sovereignty - a trend in Europe, sparked by Microsoft": tuta.com/blog/digital-sovereig…

"However, as an American company, Microsoft is subject to various extraterritorial laws that require it to transmit the data it hosts to the authorities without informing the user.” ANTON CARNIOUX, Microsoft's legal chief for France

Europe needs digital sovereignty - and Microsoft has just proven why. | Tuta

Call to action: Businesses already offer great European alternatives for digital sovereignty, authorities must start adopting them now!

There is no sovereign country in the EU.
If the email was hosted in country Y, DT would call prime minister of Y and ask them to block the email. They would comply. Proof? It's in the pudding - no EU country has expelled the US ambassador over the actual blocking. That happened.

Policajtov mame privela, lebo vela z nich vlastne iba sedi v kancelariach:

"Útvar hodnoty za peniaze hovorí, že policajtov je, naopak, veľa a radí niektoré pozície obsadiť civilnými zamestnancami."

standard.sk/431642/je-na-slove…

Povedane inak: status policajta (a teda aj uniformu, zbran a vysluhovy dochodok) ma kopa uradnikov, ktoru hladkovat na ulici nikdy neuvidime. 1/2


Je na Slovensku naozaj nedostatok policajtov? Áno aj nie. Analytici navrhujú nahradiť niektoré pozície civilistami

Na nedostatok policajtov sa prednedávnom v súvislosti s nárastom nelegálnych migrantov na území Slovenska sťažoval policajný prezident Štefan Hamran.
