Use Signal. We promise, no AI clutter, and no surveillance ads, whatever the rest of the industry does. <3

The biggest scandal in AI energy usage right now deserves to be the xAI data center running on 35 methane gas turbines that don't need air permits because they are "temporary" and don't have catalytic reduction pollution controls installed because... they just didn't bother?

On June 10th, Google released Android 16 to AOSP - but without Pixel device-specific source code. This unexpected change impacts all custom Android ROM development, including CalyxOS or others. Android Open Source Project (AOSP) is coming to end. Sources:

Ok, I'm not sure what the Mozilla strategy is anymore, Orbit just got canned https://orbitbymozilla.com/

@atoponce Either just with “..” which is a alias for “cd ..”, or with a bash function “up”, e.g. “up 3” is “cd ../../..”.

@lupa Lupa.cz vydala nový článek o NÚKIBu a NIS2, a proto musím sdílet další díl seriálu “Uvádíme věci na pravou míru” od Martina Švédy.

> In 2021, Nextcloud and other companies filed a complaint in the EU regarding alleged anti-competitive behavior from Microsoft. "We are now four years in, and nothing has happened," the company said. "What do you think happens to a company that releases no updates to their app in four years?"

The legal system must move faster, this is unacceptable. Microsoft and Google provide critical infrastructure and the modern society depends on it. The legal system should reflect that and regulate the fuck out of them.

@thisismissem I wonder how Hollo differs from GoToSocial. Both are a single-user Mastodon API compatible Fediverse platforms. Hard to distinguish for me.

I have deep appreciation for the openSUSE security team. I would have given up a long before they did. Not sure whether it was malice or mere incompetence on the side of Deepin devs. Read the original article of openSUSE, it is worth it.

I also wonder how other distros handle polkit rules and if others will follow openSUSE in removing Deepin.

Hi everyone! 👋 We still see people on the fediverse recommending OpenOffice, despite it having year-old unfixed security issues: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apache_OpenOffice#Security – So if you see someone recommending it, please inform them about the risks – but also that there are actively maintained successor projects (like LibreOffice). #foss #OpenSource

@letsencrypt has stopped adding OCSP URLs to newly issued certificates (since a few hours). Somewhat to my surprise, I haven't heard about any issues yet caused by this (I would've preferred if they had provided better opportunities for testing). But if you observe unexpected behavior with anything related to TLS certificates in the upcoming days, you may want to check if you have anything that expects OCSP and fails if it isn't there.

@petergleick There is this book I read a while back that puts his foundation into perspective. It is not a lighthearted read, but is very informative. https://www.amazon.com/Bill-Gates-Problem-Reckoning-Billionaire/dp/1250850096

Our team is growing, and I am very excited that there are now 2 developers focused on the Mastodon web interface, with a designer joining in a few weeks.

Brace yourselves for a lot of interface improvements in Mastodon this year 💅

@pavel Ta statistika eurostatu o lidech ohrožených chudobou je naprosto nicneříkající a blbá. Prokop to tady vysvětluje docela dobře: https://www.irozhlas.cz/ekonomika/ukazatele-chudoby-cesko-radi-mezi-nejlepsi-v-evrope-srovnavani-zemi-ale-kulha_2406191834_jkd

Bezpečnosti si v ČR skutečně cením. Ale když se člověk podívá na ceny nájmů, které rostly (nebo stále rostou) nejrychleji z celé EU, inflace byla druhá nejvyšší v EU, lidi zvlášť od roku 2022 byli nuceni hodně šetřit a přestávali spořit, protože jim nevycházely příjmy, takže skoro třetina populace nemá úspory větší než jejich jeden měsíční příjem.

Ne všechno je fajn a nejde všechno svést na českou povahu nebo se tvářit, že se máme sluníčkově.

We got this "HIGH security problem" reported for #curl earlier today:

"The -o / --output parameter in cURL does not restrict or sanitize file paths. When passed relative traversal sequences (e.g., ../../), cURL writes files outside the current working directory, allowing arbitrary file overwrite. In automated or privileged environments (CI/CD, root containers), this leads to Remote Code Execution (RCE), privilege escalation, and supply chain risk."

Never a dull moment.

Great talk! I am not sure how I feel about some of the points he raised, but I agree with a lot of it. #flatpak
