Same way drm works, it’s going to be in layer of hw/sw that you don’t have control over. We don’t have commonly have control on the cpu, chipset, uefi. And on the top side things like widevine on the application layer

I assume they are referring to the general tide of improvements valve has brought to gaming working generically on linux, and that they are using omarchy to experience it

It’s not like they are discriminating on someone’s race or religion. If they don’t want a major vibe coded surface, do they even have to defend that? It’s part their “artistic” license as developers.

Or did we forget software inherently is opinionated

Oh great. After never fully grasping tasting notes of food, coffee, wines … now water.

Jokes aside this is seriously impressive and makes me want to try and see if I can register them as unique enough. I certainly can taste different water bottle brands difference, but going from that to saying what’s good for x recipe is pretty next level

I think we are at the point where everyone really needs to run each project in its own vm.

Given the recent lpe vulns docker 100% won’t cut it.

And containers were never meant primarily as a security boundary anyways

Idk how git works under the hood but those both seem like they could both be easily accomplished with git itself .

but if not just your own work flow, have a dir dedicated to storing prompt history and then each file is titled with the commit id.

As for the flag just agree to some convention and toss it in the commit message

I’ve used bunny for a few years … happily. I wonder if this is a bug due to some meta data of the files like the names or something. Very weird. Good thing you had metrics to catch it.

I upload all object storage stuff to bunny for live but also to backblace for backup.

I’ve always wanted to implement fail over client side for any asset over to bacblaze but seems like a lot of overhead

I watched a YouTube video the other day about how the usa tracks missle launches globally. I would assume they have to pass a minimum threshold of power/heat/energy to be detectable.

Let’s all pray this toy project, if readily upgradable, is also trackable and well … the way we keep law and order is by actual policing and prosecuting. So hopefully this doesn’t get out of hand.

Very impressive, but very troubling.

Gemini is so stubborn, and often doesn’t follow explicit and simple instructions. So annoying

I never got too far with prompt injection, but one thing I wonder is if you overload the llm, repeatedly over context, repeatedly over its context trimming tricks buffer … can it fail open?

That’s a perfectly fine usage of content (primary substance offered by a “website”)

Yea, should have finished reading. Remediation was to “ verify both the certificate and the signature of the downloaded installer. “

I mean for such a dev focused and extremely performant app, that’s disappointing.

Glad I’m off windows as of late

systemd solved/improved a bunch of things for linux, but now the plan seems to be to replace package management with image based whole dist a/b swaps. and to have signed unified kernel images.

this basically will remove or significantly encumber user control over their system, such that any modification will make you loose your "signed" status and ... boom! goodbye accessing the internet without an id

pottering recently works for Microsoft, they want to turn linux into an appliance just like windows, no longer a general purpose os. the transition is still far from over on windows, but look at android and how the google play services dependency/choke-hold is

im sure ill get many down votes, but despite some hyperbole this is the trajectory

Xfce is great 6 months ago

Just thinking out loud here, but even if it’s a performance anti pattern, xfce is a light weight de so you wouldn’t see it over all I guess.

To my eye most Linux de’s are much lighter or responsive than windows or Mac

How would these types of proposals deal with foss non centralized/fully p2p messaging system? Just make them illegal?

What if the foss app has the “scanning” but can be disabled with a compile time flag

Is my email client going to have to implement this scanning if I use pgp?

My concern with the mini pcs from china (all global brands really accept dell/hp/lenovo) is a lack of prompt bios updates (let alone any)

Every few months there’s a new cpu/bios/firmware vuln since spectre
