I wish more people who are worried about FOSS supply side attacks would realize that universal basic income and free healthcare would result in an almost infinite stream of excellent software from people who care more about quality than profit.
Sakamotoryou boosted:
Again the FOSS world has proven to be vigilant and proactive in finding bugs and backdoors, IMHO. The level of transparency is stellar, especially compared to proprietary software companies. What the FOSS world has accomplished in 24 hours after detection of the backdoor code in #xz deserves a moment of humbleness. Instead we have flamewars and armchair experts shouting that we must change everything NOW. Which would introduce even more risks. Progress is made iteratively. Learn, adapt, repeat.

🚨 ⚠️ Emergency PSA: A critical security exploit was discovered in the xz package recently, used for compression and decompression on nearly all Linux distributions.
Rawhide users ARE impacted and should immediately STOP using Rawhide until the package update is fully rolled back. (1/3)

Recently, I have enjoy reading the books published by Daniel Kahneman.
It's sad to have a great man left in our realm.
Rest In Peace

Another clanger from Microsoft -
- zero day vulnerability being exploited in Windows OS for six months in the wild by North Korea
- They didn’t tell anybody, took six months to make a patch
- released the patch without saying what happened
- didn’t mark it as a zero day in Microsoft Vulnerability Management
You’d think having the largest market cap in the world and having $2bn a year in revenue from security alone would allow.. uh.. investment.

Russians staying in Sri Lanka have showed their gratitude by creating a number of “whites only" night clubs, denying access to local Sri Lankans. So Sri Lankan authorities now decided to help the racists by telling all 288,000 Russians in Sri Lanka to take the next flight back to good old Moscow, where the average skin color is more to their liking.
Perfect! 😘👌

To combat chatGPT generated books on the kindle store, Amazon only allows users to publish 3 books ~ per day.
What the fuck kind of human author is publishing 3 BOOKS A DAY.

“In other words: Forcing employees to work in an office doesn’t benefit companies, but does harm the lives of employees — at least in the short term.
More to the point: Most companies cannot show actual monetary benefits from RTO mandates. But most employees can show actual and significant monetary costs from RTO mandates.
In essence, these kinds of mandates represent a transfer of wealth from employees that their employers don’t even benefit from.”
Great piece from @MikeElgan https://www.computerworld.com/article/3712843/the-hidden-high-cost-of-return-to-office-mandates.html

What Apple is going to do to PWAs in less than two weeks in the EU is dastardly.
Their goal is to remove the only versions of Push, Fullscreen, Homescreen Icons, and Badging that didn't require paying them to be in the App Store *and make sure no other browser can have them either*.
They tried to sneak it under the noise of the alt-store drama, in a clearly premeditated fashion.
It's no exaggeration to say they've gone to war with the web & we don't owe the benefit of the doubt ever again.

Guess what % of plastics have ever been #recycled? No prizes :(
And guess who knew about it all the time?

Is it stupid that I'm trying to raise one billion dollars to protect my cat? Some might say so. But it is infinitely stupider that people have raised over $480,000 to cover Trump's legal fees.
So, please help me raise one billion dollars to protect Fishy. It is objectively not the worst way you could spend your money.

Why isn’t AI doing the tedious shit for creative people instead of doing the creative shit for tedious people
