  It's interesting how much official translation can modify a story. No, I do not mean to the extent Ghost Stories did. That is funny, but quite different from just translating.

  Those mass surveillance laws assholes are pushing for. Do they just enjoy human suffering that much or is someone paying them for it? Blatant disregard for constitutional rights and research/studies alike. They're either grossly incompetent or deliberately malicious and I want to know why.

  Well what do you know chat, someone did follow the money (at least 3 different news sources mentioned in wiki). Why are they still in their position with blatant conflicts of interest? source: https://brot.eus/objects/47e0e839-524d-4966-b541-c6c0ad0c9ab7 @grillchen

  @vie@hachyderm.io It's worth noticing that the ones most enthusiastic about it are also the ones that care the least about their craft and were only ever in it because it was a well-paying job (in some places, they wouldn't have chosen it otherwise). That's not a coincidence.

  @waldoj@mastodon.social @dalias@hachyderm.io Amazon should pay for the datacenters nearly or indeed in full. They should be glad to contribute to society for once, instead of merely profiting off feeding on it.

  @degroof@mastodon.social Which is barely true (especially comparatively) if they're still built without sprinklers that would prevent the entire building from igniting and therefore reduce the actual use by easily a magnitude. But I'm sure he doesn't want to hear about proper planification and preparation for harm reduction. Besides which their primary function isn't being on fire.

  Thankfully the original comic I wanted to read has been duplicated on various other sites and uploaded as a cbz dataset on various sites. Still, having a paywall/adwall-bypassing extractor would be nice.

  @inherentlee@flipping.rocks I'm vaguely curious if I'll see a post about switching this over to USB with some component swapping in my timeline in some time.

  @jimp@masto.ai @kde@floss.social Honestly it might be better with a variable because then I could just put a wrapper script so it always does it right regardless of the profile. Instead depending on how the default settings are baked in I may have to rebuild firefox from scratch (which gets ridiculous with its memory requirements because C++ sucks I guess). edit: Debian users rejoice, you can just patch /usr/share/firefox-esr/browser/defaults/preferences/firefox.js.

  Repeat after me chat: Security issues are quality issues.

  @stevenray@sfba.social @mhoye@cosocial.ca @noiseician@mastodon.world Maybe one of the secret service will finally get fed up, kill and eat him in his office.

  @alice@lgbtqia.space @river@lgbtqia.space but it seems obvious to me that anyone should immediately understand there's some genderfuckery about—but no, most cishet folx seem completely oblivious. The very notion exists outside the realm of classifications they have been taught and view things through. If they're not good at thinking outside of and questioning the boxes pushed upon them... Though maybe people hear about it more now, I don't really interact with popular media &...

  @carnage4life > 30k corporate employees > 11k interns The maths aren't mathing. That doesn't compensate neither in kind nor in amount.

  How many mappings does the average IOMMU controller support? Do such mappings include registers and interrupts? Is it unreasonable to think every Linux driver should be in its own isolated kernel thread without access to anything else?

• View post

  The bug’s existence undermines typical ‘secure by default’ postures and isolation principles. Kernel-level vulnerabilities like this bypass many layered perimeter defenses and assume a total breakdown of system integrity. wtf no. It simply highlights that Linux/UNIX's security model is a disaster from the very beginning, and that the choice of C and accepting its weak typing model instead of emulating something better (or using tools that permit much the same without a runtime cost) was an...

  I really would like if batteries got a bit cheaper. I'm so close to no longer having to care about power outages that last only an hour or so chat... The technology is real, I just need to be able to afford it.

  @N33R I'm vaguely reminded of those artworks of Persica drinking from a full coffee pot with a straw.

  Far too many people ignore the ethical issues. Where did that ridiculous disregard for ethics so long as the product is "good" (it's not but nevermind that) come from? It's appalling especially from people that call themselves engineers.

  You know, it seems kind of hypocritical of Altman to complain someone tried to molotov or shootup his home when the tool he irresponsibly provides has been used to coordinate violence several times. What goes around comes around, it's only fair.

  nfs-ganesha supposedly supports 9p. This is the only documentation to be found. None of the manpages mention it.

  Sometimes, the error messages really are telling the truth. I had forgotten the Wireguard persistent keepalive, it was in fact losing connection.

  @dalias @GossiTheDog @azonenberg I consider the matter more of an instructive reading experience for onlookers.

  @munin > falling into the wrong hands Such as those of governments, maybe? Ah but, no, of course not. The whole concept is laughable anyway.
