@ariadne Is it standard DVB-C or ATSC?

@ariadne preserve the good old look and feel as much as possible :>

Whisper Pair is a vulnerability in most accessories implementing Google Fast Pair.

• Attacker can pair remotely when the accessory is not in pairing mode. Therefore, attacker gets to control the media playback and listen on microphone, when in range, trivially, with zero interaction from the owner.

• There is no way to mitigate this vulnerability. Most accessories do not have a way to disable Google Fast Pair. The only way to stop being vulnerable is a software update for the accessory’s firmware that patches it.

• If your accessory is not associated with a Google account, the attacker can associate your accessory with their Google account. This allows you to be physically tracked with Google Find Hub, indefinitely. You may receive a notification “You are being tracked by [Your Accessory]”. Do not ignore this; it is not a false positive.

• It is perhaps easier to stalk Apple users this way because they are less likely to already be using Google Find Hub.

@mntmn thought you were sober :P /s

@mntmn cozy mood

this one is old enough it's due for a repost, and probably a sequel

@elly Oh hey look! Distorted windows longhorn red screen of death!

@craftyguy @justsoup the semi-colon was specifically invented by Thompson and Ritchie for the C programming language, everyone knows that :D

One thing I learned while working on FOSS is to never take "not working" for an answer.

It's FOSS! You have the right to modify everything! You can try to get that thing working, even if you don't succeed, you can document what you tried so the next person can refer to that :D

So somebody took a couple of LWN's recent conference articles, threw them into an LLM blender with some other stuff, and produced ... this ...

https://www.webpronews.com/linux-kernels-future-tab-integrates-rust-navigates-ai-boosts-collaboration/

Google News propagates that stuff - something they have long refused to do with LWN's original material. But somehow we're supposed to continue to exist to feed material into that machine?

Sorry, having a grumpy day.

@GossiTheDog what in the entire world

Alright, following some discussion in the Spade Discord we have an "LLM policy" that I'm very happy with

https://gitlab.com/spade-lang/spade/-/merge_requests/556

TL;DR: No LLM contributions please, they
- Take maintainer time for less reward than human contributions
- Are questionable from a copyright perspective
- Have ethical concerns

@nullagent Thank you for adding alt text to your posts, really appreciate it :)

AI bubble barons are getting pretty desperate it seems.

@nullagent Alt text: an ICE officer running and then falling on ice, then running back to their car. A bunch of people are recording

So anyways, share these videos of ICE falling on their asses.

ICE on ICE violence is good for everyone.

As the 2020 Seattle protests proved statistically, constant protests, online mockery, the physically demanding labor of being a fascist pig and the constant never ending resistance really hurts their feelings.

@justsoup they were designed specifically only for the C programming language, and later other programming languages started using them as well.

@justsoup semicolons are things you use to delimit instructions in C

Example:

#include <stdio.h>
int main(int argc, char **argv) {
  int i = 27;
  printf("hi");
  return 3+i;
}
