eveninghere,

Likely it’s as simple as a pop up window with UI dedicated for constructing text with ChatGPT. Very useful, nothing more.

My guess is that you can reassign a different command just like other logi mice.

eveninghere,

The hatred is unfortunate. It’s just a button with a simple software launcher. If people don’t want the logi driver they don’t have to install it.

eveninghere,

As a professor I have to say… the site admin skipped the class that taught them to include always the color bar.

eveninghere,

My online activities. I don’t want the attacker to identify them with me. Well, it’s never perfect, but yeah. I don’t really care about personalized ads. m

I’d even prefer them over stupid semi-pornographic ads for the average person. I don’t know other countries but nearly all Japanese websites are full of such semi-porns to the level I wouldn’t screen-share my webbrowser…

Chat control vote postponed: Huge success in defense of digital privacy of correspondence! (www.patrick-breyer.de)

Today EU governments will not adopt their position on the EU regulation on “combating child sexual abuse”, the so-called chat control regulation, as planned, which would have heralded the end of private messages and secure encryption. The Belgian Council presidency postponed the vote at short notice.

eveninghere,

Great, but wasn’t it the case that majority in the EC supported it? Did it suddenly become a minority position?

eveninghere,

The question now is, when will they remove it?

openSUSE Tumbleweed vs openSUSE MicroOS

I recently came across openSUSE again and decided to give it a try this time. I am daily driving Fedora 40 right now and before coming across openSUSE I wanted to switch to Fedora Kinoite or uBlue Aurora (i.e., immutable / atomic). That’s why MicroOS piqued my interest but I had a hard time find information if MicroOS is...

eveninghere,

What’s the advantage of using wayland at the moment?

eveninghere,

Agreed. And I do understand wayland is the future, having done studies around X11 a bit. The problem for long time users like me is that there are still expert apps and use cases that aren’t covered by wayland, at least for now. And because the current benefits of wayland are not obvious they will complain if their distros transition to wayland too soon.

eveninghere,

Remote desktops. I think the main complaints are the performance. To me the issue is that with x11vnc you could remote into an existing display, even the login screen. Recent Gnome finally seems to have it for wayland, but afaik KDE still doesn’t have it.

eveninghere,

Why are so many Linux posts about “Why Linux” these days? We already use Linux. Isn’t there news on Linux anymore or what?

How to install Nix on Fedora Silverblue (julianhofer.eu)

Today, I wanted to have another go with nix. Previously I just read about it and didn’t do anything for a couple of months. Now, I installed nix package manager with very few lines of code and two more to install many packages as described in his post. Installation was very fast on my banana laptop. Until now I used distrobox...

eveninghere,

My experience is that nix package configs are tested on NixOS. I used it on other OSes, and I easily encountered misconfigurations and such. The problem is that they are understaffed.

I ended up combining a few package managers due to this, but I’d have preferred to use another manager solely.

Campaigns Can Now See What You Watch on TV. (www.notus.org)

Televisions that can stream platforms like Hulu or Max usually come loaded with technology that collects information on what viewers are watching, and buyers consent to have their viewing tracked when they open their new TV and click through terms of service agreements. Sometimes, data firms can connect those viewing habits to a...

eveninghere,

Problem is, wife is the one who insists on having TVs and I know she won’t use Jellyfin.

eveninghere,

All spouses can

Sorry, did you sleep with my spouse or what?

eveninghere,

Okay I will learn more about self-hosted streaming options and hit spouses on the street.

eveninghere,

Fucking hypocritic idiots.

eveninghere,

If you have pre-trained model or a classical voice matching algorithm as the basis, few samples might suffice.

eveninghere,

Article 10a, which contains the upload moderation plan, states that these technologies would be expected “to detect, prior to transmission, the dissemination of known child sexual abuse material or of new child sexual abuse material.”

This is what I guessed the other day when a post here didn’t clarify what the censorship meant.

While I’m not a fan of this stupid regulation, it doesn’t sound like being the armageddon that turns e2ee into ashes.

(Given that Signal doesn’t like it, I might be wrong though.)

As long as we trust, say, Signal, it will possibly be able to do the scan without sending a good chunk of the image data that the user is sending. URLs can be hashed before sending it to the scanner.

The remaining piece for privacy is to use open source and to guarantee that the binaries are free of modification from the original. This problem always existed on the Apple ecosystem btw.

eveninghere,

Yes, I agree it is dangerous. I just wanted to assess the actual threat (current and future) before jumping onto the wagon.

eveninghere,

They say they the images are merely matched to pre-determined images found on the web. You’re talking about a different scenario where AI detects inappropriate contents in an image.

eveninghere,

Is there a source stating that they’re going to require these?

eveninghere,

My guess was that this law was going to permit something as simple as pixel matching. Honestly I don’t imagine they can codify in the law something more sophisticated. Companies don’t want false positives either, at the very least due to profits.

eveninghere,

Source? Does the law require that? That’s not my impression.

eveninghere,

My bad. But that phrasing is super stupid, honestly. What company would want to promise to detect new child sex abuse material? Impossible to avoid false negatives.

eveninghere,

Stupid regulation, honestly. Exact matches are implementable but further than that… Aren’t they basically banning e2ee at this point?

Now I see why Signal will close in EU.

eveninghere,

Did we ever agree on AI training with our Reddit comments btw

eveninghere,

I think proton was never going to function as a profit-first business. Too many enshittified rival businesses. Kinda the natural outcome.

eveninghere,

I think the quality definitely degraded, but that’s exactly what capitalism wanted. It’s going to darwin a big chunk of us through climate change that’s accelerated by the electricity needs.

eveninghere,

Most clients don’t understand art or graphics to begin with, I guess. They just wanted someone good at Illustrator.

eveninghere,

My point is, sacrifices can be made. Even professionals can do it.

You mean like, they risk losing their job, reducing their profits significantly during the training period, and then likely there are a few algorithms that don’t exist in Krita, and most are slower with less optimization. If Adobe releases a new killer feature those professionals who transitioned to OSS are fucked, and also they sacrifice a significant of time on additional training for using Linux, replacing their professional NVIDIA GPUs, tweaks wayland, then they spend time on fixing boot problems, their printers don’t work anymore, they have compatibility issues with everything Adobe and MS Office, lose business competitions just because their files can’t be opened by Windows, etc. etc. I’ll trust you Linux-is-easy people after you converted a few Windows / Apple / Adobe-dependent enterprise businesses.

eveninghere,

Maybe we’ll all become AI training data and receive universal basic income.

eveninghere,

Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella is now personally responsible for security flaws.

I say BS.

eveninghere,

Means nothing to Recall.

His testimony comes after Microsoft admitted that it could have taken steps to prevent two aggressive nation-state cyberattacks from China and Russia.

According to Microsoft whistleblower Andrew Harris, Microsoft spent years ignoring a vulnerability while he proposed fixes to the “security nightmare.” Instead, Microsoft feared it might lose its government contract by warning about the bug and allegedly downplayed the problem, choosing profits over security, ProPublica reported.

eveninghere,

Not precise. They can dynamically generate the video stream from the ad-free original.

eveninghere,

I’d just drag the time seeker though…

eveninghere,

Nah, if 2 are really working, just buy 998 and he’d have at least stuck to the number. Whether that improves something is the actual question.

eveninghere,

The funny thing is that this is probably lobbying from NTT Docomo, who lost their own app store monopoly for feature phones the moment smartphones arrived.

eveninghere,

No, Japan just listened to the previous app market monopoly that was NTT Docomo and other providers who wanted their money pot back.

eveninghere,

I just hope they’ll let non-profit app stores join. I just want an open source package manager tbh.

Do you think people would be okay with 'Recall' if Apple did it?

With the recent WWDC apple made some bold claims about privacy when it comes to so called Apple Intelligence. This makes me wonder if they did something to what Microsoft did with Recall feature, would people be less concerned and to an extend praise their effort?...

eveninghere,

I don’t think Apple is planning that. For now they’re trying the approach to expose metadata like email headers to their AI, but that such data has been already accessible to the search functionality anyway.

It’s very different from Recall, which dumps screen capture of webpages and passwords into a database file that’s only protected by access rights.

eveninghere,

It has been difficult to prove.

eveninghere,

What does “scan” mean here?

eveninghere,

I read that and hoped further elaboration.

eveninghere,

But the link described it as if it’ll do database matching to find well-known images.

eveninghere,

No, what I’ve interpret from the webpage is far more basic. Just matching images, almost like pixel-by-pixel. If you think about it, legally describing your interpretation (Apple’s gallery) is very challenging and is thus possibly infeasible.

As a result, my feeling is that the EU is going with a far inferior method that doesn’t have to send images to the server. Technically speaking (they might still require that).

eveninghere,

I don’t fully trust any app, and yet I think that this trend on privacy policy in app stores is pointless.

I just want to see (and tune) the sandbox options. Like, can I block this app from sending certain information to servers?

eveninghere,

XReal glasses shut everything off and mirrors your phone already.

eveninghere,

I’m okay IF the ads were only from novels of my liking. Never gonna happen though…
