4·7 天前violations of state consumer protection law
Then presidential pardon is not an option.
Ad-blockers like uBlock origin can filter slop websites.
A blocklist for AI images https://codeberg.org/just_a_husk/uBlockOrigin-AI-Blocklist/ this is a “fork and expansion of laylavish’ AI image blocklist on github”.
I’m not aware of a similar blocklist for written content, which could block slop farms like the one mention in the article. Recommandations are welcome.
This headline should be eye opening for LLM AI users, regarless of the outcome of this lawsuit.
The rise in coal use was largely driven by the growth of data centres
AI summaries, agents, chatbots, brought to you by coal and tech oligarchs.
When someone puts out new stuff every hour, it will get seen by many more people…
Has any social media tried grouping/folding posts per author and day? If an account write a 12-posts rant or marketing push in a single day, the feed could show the first 1, with a button to “see 11 more posts by Account123” similar to how large threads are folded by default.
I’m avoiding big tech social media and don’t know if any have tried that recently.
6·23 天前It lacks a comparison to other apps…
Yes. Would love to see this compared to XMPP, maybe Signal.
And does it actually matter? What is important to encrypt?
It matters a lot! Here’s one dramatic example:
Some may find this acceptable, considering the army is rightfully targetting terrorists. However the same techniques are used by autoritarian states to target political opponents, journalists, human right defenders…
It’s strange that the server shares the IP to other servers. That’s not really useful for another server.
Even if there’s a technical reason, it shows the protocol or implementations lack good metadata protections. Hopefully the matrix foundation can fix this soon. If not, people should look for more secure options.
This article have lots of signs it was in large part AI generated. Multiples lists, em-dashes, AI generated illustrations.
I don’t see any clear disclosure on the article’s page, but there’s a AI policy page explaining how it’s used in many way, including for the writing.
It makes it hard to take this seriously. If this online media don’t bother writing articles themselves, why bother reading them?
1.67 MB in size, which is unusually large for such trivial functionality
Don’t underestimate Microsoft’s ability to write bloated software. Any sloppy developer really.
1·1 个月前Do players even own PlayStation consoles? Sony arbitrarily restrict what operating system run on hardware people buy from them.
A friends car’s emergency brake triggered at a toll booth because it got too close too the barrier, which is required in order for the barrier to automatically open.
He had this issue everytime he got on the highway, and eventually disabled that feature.
It’s too early to publish a news article about it, then.
They are losing billions… of investor money.
This may include people investing in index funds, now that Musk’s Space/AI company is publicly listed. Maybe a piece of people’s pension fund as well, if NVIDIA’s wish comes true. https://fortune.com/2026/08/13/nvidia-wants-your-pension-fund-in-the-ai-trade/
The layman with money in index or pension fund probably don’t intend to invest in AI, but here we are.
It might be possible to fool it.
More important, it’s normalizing use of facial recognition in everyday situations. This is a very invasive tech and prime for abuse by increasingly totalitarian governments.
I guess developers working on AWS are increasingly vibe coding.
Or maybe the invoices are accurate, and LLMs continue to increase memory and hosing cost for everyone.
Why would you need to plug a console to the Internet to play solo games?
Connecting mostly bring enshittification: sending telemetry to 3rd party, ads, updates triggering a random time making it impossible to play when powering the console.
My console is offline 95% of the time, behind a slow connection 5% of the time. No physical media would mean not buying any new game. No new games means there’s no point in buying the latest console to play new games.
Well said.
The one exception where producing images with generative AIs could be acceptable is to study their impact on society and the environment.
Even in such case, care should be taken to minimize the amount of images generated to the strict minimum, to give as little money as possible to toxic corporations and to minimise pollution. Favor studying images previously generated and already available online if that’s sufficient for the study’s purpose.
They’re requesting mostly wrong solutions for real problems.
Age verification doesn’t address social media’s problems, but does increase data collection and decrease privacy. Same for decrypting private messages.
A guardian account does seem reasonable.
They could also completely turn off user seach for minors, so they would have to add contacts by username or email, and couldn’t reach or be reached easily by online strangers.
Minors could circumvent this if there’s no age verification. But today’s age verification methods are neither privacy-friendly nor hard to circumvent. Until they are, it’s not worth requiring age verification.
5·5 个月前Debian trixie has a fix https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/CVE-2026-31431
Any insight into the most severe ones, eg is remote exploitation possible and likely?
The Linux project request CVEs for any memory safety bug just in case some turn out to be vulnerabilities, in which case they may be exploited given enough effort. Many are likely not exploitable or unlikely to be, and/or low severity.
There are some higher severity ones given the following message. But this doesn’t mean all CVEs listed are severe issues.
