The authors inability to understand this really makes wonder how much of the rest of their story is essentially self-inflicted.

The whole section about him working for DOGE to "embark on a journey to save our government" tells you everything you need to know about him.

Hilarious. If your tools run arbitrary instructions from stdout you are a clown and deserve to be clowned upon.

Its word against word in this situation. The logs prove nothing as they are easily modifiable and the devs had a good reason to do so.

I do enjoy a good Ed Zitron sneer. The fact that the original article moved markets says a lot about the critical thinking skills of stock market traders.

Which success? I still see those things churning out laughably wrong code at every turn.

Good riddance. 213 MW of peak power draw is insane, that's equivalent to all homes of Glasgow and Edinburgh combined.

Its strange to me that Linux dropped Itanium two years ago but they decided to keep supporting Alpha and PA-RISC.

It also buffers the downloaded data completely into memory last time I checked. So downloading a file bigger than the available RAM just doesn't work and you have to use WebClient instead.

Another fun one is Extract-Archive which is painfully slow while using the System.IO.Compression.ZipFile CLR type directly is reasonably fast. Powershell is really a head scratcher sometimes.

I don't disagree about leaving France over their position on chat control or legislation.

I disagree about them essentially spreading misinformation about what actually happened. One prosecutor, that probably doesn't even know what GrapheneOS is, making boisterous claims to the press, is not the same as being contacted by the state about adding a backdoors.

This looks hugely blown out of proportion. The project founder has a well documented history of what I would consider a persecution complex. Once again he has provided no substantial evidence. The only thing they provided are some, admittedly borderline libelous, news articles. Unless they provide some more concrete information about these supposed attempts of getting a backdoor installed into the system, I will consider this as just another day of GrapheneOS drama.

This is handled in the employment contract. The "Urheberrecht" is not transferable only inheritable, but you can grant "Nutzungsrechte" which means "rights of use". So in your contract you just grant your employer unrestricted and exclusive rights of use.

That's all nice but I still don't want slop code in an application as security critical as a password manager. The correct percentage of slop code for a password manager is 0% and it’s pants on head crazy to claim otherwise.

I have dug around a bit and found a thread mastodon thread that doesn't inspire confidence[1]. KeePassXC seems completely untrustworthy at this point not only have they jumped on the AI bandwagon, they also seemingly don't know what a zero-day is. I genuinely liked KeePassXC and used it for years now I am spending my Sunday evening researching alternatives.

I didn't know about that and this is really concerning to me. AI has no place in security critical software like KeePassXC, and I remain unconvinced that they will only use it for simple tasks. I don't feel like I can trust this software any longer this is a password manager not just some random website where bugs basically don't matter. I hate that I have to replace yet another piece of software that I liked.

The price of a token doesn't necessarily reflect the true cost of running a model. After Claude Opus 4 released the price of OpenAIs o3 tokens where slashed practically over night.[0] If you think this happened because inference cost went down, I have a bridge to sell to you.

Rootless podman in combination with systemd quadlet works great for me. I host all my personal services like that. Having containers integrated directly into systemd makes mapping out dependencies between mounts and other non containerized services much more reliable and easier.

Windows does this nonsense all the time. Recently I used my mothers windows notebook to show her some photos. Five Minutes in with Firefox in full-screen it pops up a Teams window for no reason. She didn't install Teams nor does she need it, but Microsoft in their infinite wisdom decided not only to install it but also that taking focus while another application is in full-screen mode is the perfect moment to prompt the user to login into an application they never used.

How about not using a LLM if you could get fired for doing so...

Stop disseminating misinformation by a YouTuber who has no business making judgement calls on a topic they obviously don't understand.

Server GC is the default garbage collector for Asp.net Core.

Of course they can. Lets assume you are using such a model in your product, this now makes tracking its output your responsibility. It is really no different from the way you would use an open source library.

Just the same? If you publish a model that doesn't follow these rules nobody in the EU could use that model in their business. You could publish unlicensed source code as well and nobody could really use it for anything business related either.

Its also mathematically proven that infinite monkeys typing on typewriters for eternity will recreate all works of Shakespeare. It still takes someone with an actual brain to recognize the correct output.

Not seeing this coming, I guess. IT experts where warning of this for years but where essentially ridiculed instead. I still blame the US for backstabbing their allies though.

Yes, its all a big conspiracy against X11, lets all slander these selfish open source developers that don't sacrifice enough of their time and dare to make technical choices you don't agree with. How about you step up and maintain the X11 backend for "QTK" yourself.

This isn't a bug. Kmcaster is unmaintained and has been removed from flathub.

Yes and if they are caught they will be prosecuted and punished like with any other ban. Converting a significant amount of Monero into actual money will become much harder if its illegal. This will reduce availability of such services and make privacy coins less attractive to criminals which is exactly what the ban is aiming for.

"Bloated" is just the standard complaint to go for if you don't have anything specific to complain about but don't like a piece of software for, what I assume are, theological reasons.
