*** If your alt-texts are intentionally incorrect just to confuse LLMs, despite how much I don't like LLMs, I consider this to be extremely rude to people who are unable to actually look at your image, and will not boost your memes as a result until you actually start considering visually impaired folks as people.

Have fun! ^^

@trini I was half-joking, but yes, once upon a time I ran Vim inside Termux for notes.

@karolherbst I'm not saying what they did is bad, but them listening for feedback, saying multiple times that *more* feedback is welcome, seeing reactions from their community, and in the end realising they did a mistake... I think it is a huge step in the right direction.

@karolherbst It was quite awful seeing Blender+Anthropic. But then they put a banner saying "we hear you and we're rethinking this decision" on their blog post. And now they put up a followup blog post announcing they've downgraded Anthropic's donator position and they're thinking of AI policies.

Blender folks seem to actually be listening, IMO, unlike some others (KeePassXC for example mostly said "we'll use AI, deal with it")

@karolherbst By now we should all know that it is no longer something "to make fun of" but a real health issue that needs to be cured.

digimint (ECC-988287E1B)

in the wake of Blender’s unfortunate, β€œdropping a banana peel on the ground and slipping on it”-type post a few days ago, i feel like it should be noted that they did, in fact, post a response today where they apologized and announced policy changes and open discussions that i think pretty reasonably address the problems. thank you, blender.

@karolherbst Really, we should be worried about LLM psychosis, not make fun of it.

The recent announcement about Anthropic joining the Blender Development Fund as a Corporate Patron member has raised concerns from the community around how we engage with AI topics.

This is how we plan to address the issue: https://www.blender.org/news/upcoming-blender-development-fund-and-ai-policies/

Seth was the leader of the GNOME Usability project, which led to the creation of the human interface guidelines; the words might have changed over 25 years, but he's one of the people that made the Linux desktop, and we're still walking in his footsteps.

@noisytoot @alexanderkjall it's also obfuscated IMO. Why need to zlib.decompress ? Can't you give us the data itself without compression?
A bunch of variables also have quite meaningless names. It really does scream a lot like obfuscation.

What went wrong with this case?

Theori appear to have only contacted the linux kernel devs with the vulnerability, as opposed to going the usual CVD route that includes all of the major Linux distros.

Why is this a problem? Since the linux kernel became a CNA, there has been a flood of CVEs for the Linux kernel. The Linux kernel devs' arguments is that any given kernel flaw could presumably be leveraged to behave as a vulnerability, and it's not worth their time to determine "vulnerability" or "not a vulnerability". Everything gets a CVE.

Now the case with copy.fail? It was indeed reported to the kernel devs. And it got a CVE. A single CVE buried in flood of all of the Linux kernel CVEs.

And it appears that every distro on the planet was blindsided by this proven-exploitable vulnerability because they were not given any warning. Or even any suggestion to pick this single CVE out of the sea of Linux kernel CVEs as worth cherry picking.

Much to the chagrin of the Linux devs, RHEL doesn't use up-to-date Linux kernels. They cherry pick CVEs to backport to their chosen kernel version. (e.g. the latest and greates RHEL 10.1 uses 6.12.0, which was released November 17 2024). And in this world where bad actors like Theori don't involve vendors in vulnerability coordination, and just about every Linux kernel bug gets a CVE, this workflow fails. Hard.

Good times...
