softwareupdated? no it isn't that's why i'm looking at these logs

@mjg59 "or you reduce that risk somewhat by spawning a local server and POSTing the token back to it"
Apple is still stubbornly refusing to let websites in Safari connect to localhost.

@vampirdaddy @isotopp Suppose a DNS resolver library has a bug that makes it crash on responses that contain certain data, despite being valid. One day a change on someone else's DNS server makes your app start crashing out of the blue.

What would it even *mean* for "DNS responses to be tested and versioned"?

With video game prices rising, AI is a critical tool for developers and gamers alike.

By seeing which games use AI, gamers can save money by not buying those games.

@idkrn https://support.apple.com/en-lamr/guide/security/operating-system-integrity-sec8b776536b/web#secd022396fb I just found this section says there is SPTM on macOS, so it seems the article isn't even self-consistent 🙃

@filippo @goetz @julijane what do you think of the warning libxml2 added to its README? I sure hope banks, commercial operating systems, etc. stopped using libxml2 after that.

@vampirdaddy @isotopp The outage wasn't caused by a change in the library, but by a change in the CT logs which the library failed to parse correctly. Dependency version pinning wouldn't have helped.

@idkrn @siguza You can run unsigned code. There's still PPL and now SPTM on macOS, contradicting that article.

In fact, is PPL even directly related to code signing enforcement?

@goetz @filippo @julijane ...without warranty of any kind, including the implied warranty of fitness for a particular purpose...

@wiredguy I can't imagine @siguza using Apple's LLM API...

@filippo @julijane That's the banking system's fault.
I fully agree with https://softwaremaxims.com/blog/Not-A-Supplier

@tagomago @pmOS_devices the wiki page seems to explain the state quite well https://wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/Apple_iPhone_X_(Global)_(apple-d22)
Although maybe it should be clearer about which steps are one-time and which have to be repeated on every boot...

@zagura @pmOS_devices Devices vulnerable to checkm8 can be booted to a different OS by exploiting the bootrom over USB, have to re-do it on every reboot.

I tried it in 2020, wasn't really usable back then :P

They're putting blue food coloring in everything.

A short story

https://blog.foxtrotluna.social/theyre-putting-blue-food-coloring-in-everything/

@esm @doskel it uses libcdparanoia, it should be fine

@slonk @doskel It's a kio thing, but it uses cdparanoia to read the audio CD so it's probably Linux-specific

They fixed it, but the only difference I see is for photos_memories assets, which makes no sense. I think I'm querying this server incorrectly and missing half the story.

Apparently all Apple Intelligence features stopped working on iOS 26 beta today. They updated *something* in the assets for local models. I don't know what the change was yet.

It was before 20:00UTC on the 19th, but I only refresh this manually so I don't know exactly at what time either.

The mess goes something like this https://data.nicolas17.xyz/arc-explainer.html?m
