Finally a video where creator's face overlaid on top of the content actually contributes value.

Might be another hedge fund that went full-on AI (see Situational Awareness) is not doing great and is trying to liquidate their inventory.

I half expected him to propose renaming the country into United America of America (UAA).

It's perfect for his followers. Doesn't require mental effort and can be correctly pronounced while giving head.

Had to look it up, as this is very interesting. The founders together still maintain 50.1% control of the company through a separate entity.

The page checks out: "Written by AI News, 0 followers."

He has already moved on and achieved SI. For now just once, but that won't stop him from trying again until someone decides that it's time to buy up some other country's domain names in bulk.

Here is another data point.

Muse is literally a beige Labubu with ears cut off and face swapped with a smiley. Labubu is a valuable trademark of Pop Mart.

Don't kick the man so hard. It must be at that point he discovered that ASM is not actually portable across CPU architectures.

That is true, but does Adobe have another Photoshop to build? And in how many hours will that be copied as well?

Good night, GVisor.

Real programmers write raw machine code, using a magnetized needle and a steady hand.

Last time I encountered it, I vaguely remember it was around a POST request. It went through and returned a 200, but the page then failed to react and redirect. Must be something weird in site's JavaScript.

> Seriously, do you not understand that this is a service that you would only enable if you need it?

There are broad classes of Linux-powered devices where you don't get to enable or disable components. They come programmed by the manufacturer to lock the user out of meaningfully owning and using the hardware. And if it is possible to alter them, the user will lose functionality like logging into remote services and running apps that self-selected to enable remote attestation. All the things that previously worked.

> It merely allows you to verify that the report came from one of your own machines... And by “you” I really mean large enterprises with tens of thousands of computers...

Following your exact reasoning, any computer manufacturer of a meaningful scale can indeed turn TPM signatures into DRM. All that is left for them to do is to provide some pre-approved kernel versions and updates to them. They will remotely verify integrity of the system and the system is going to verify whatever it is programmed to verify.

It can absolutely do worse things than your example of preventing Netflix piracy. How about checking that all the hardware components are approved by the manufacturer, down to their serial numbers? Apple and John Deere love that. With this tech, others will be empowered to do the same. Even worse, computers that were built independently will become useless for all of the use cases where such remote attestation is required.

There are many, many second-order effects of this technology and not a single socially positive one.

I should qualify that 50% is the figure for new websites I've never used before. They typically belong to smaller non-tech organizations who probably outsource the web work and don't get around to fix things unless they are broken for virtually everyone.

My first reaction is to disable adblock and other extensions, but lately that has not been helping. I blame the lack of testing/support from web developers.

I don't have a case right now. I usually report such problems to site maintainers while I'm at it.

But your comment motivated me to discover the "hamburger" > "Help and Report" > "Report Broken Site" menu. Will use it next time I come across a broken form.

Meanwhile, support for Firefox from web developers seems to keep on sliding.

Whenever I have to fill out a new web form on a random site, there is about 50% chance that it will break. Regrettably and unsurprisingly, they do work perfectly in Chrome-based browsers.

It is important to not trade one malware for the other one.

Interesting. I didn't know if youtube started doing this for all videos, but this one shows only "featured" comments by default, so most of the negative ones are hidden.

yawn

> More people move to linux better right? Year of the linux desktop, right? All this OS is doing is that. I hope it continues.

That's not all it does. It pumps a lot of money to distort the OSS ecosystem, but most of it will never get to people actually building things. So far, users got an unfinished fork of Arch and hysterical astroturfing of Hacker News and Youtube just like your posts.

This is not a great start. In a year or two, what will remain of all of it? DHH drops the act and starts calling for ethnic cleansings even more openly? Omacom drops the charade and converts into a proper for-profit entity?

From what I gather, most commenters here hate both, and for valid reasons.

It's very simple actually. When someone comes out, repeatedly, as not having moral scruples, people stop trusting him.

DHH being nothing more than an indefatigable hype man at this point only makes this situation more distasteful. "But I, the DhH slop coded this distro, why do people hate on it?" There are layers.

> most consumer computers don’t have a TPM

https://www.techtimes.com/articles/319581/20260703/steam-har...

According to the article, ~70% of Steam users are on Windows 11, so have TPM 2.0. That is already the majority.

The other article on their blog introduces a systemd module that not only collects all hardware information, but also signs it with TPM before transmission [0].

I'm not even sure it makes much sense in datacenter conditions. And once it gets onto computers of the regular users, it would be very easy to repurpose it for spyware.

1 year from now: "don't ask why do all requests resolve to a single IP."

It also has people paid to promote it. Despite you being an account that is 1 hour old, I will reply substantively.

Just because you can recompile a kernel following someone else's recipe doesn't mean that you understand how to configure one yourself, much less how it works. Regarding security, just a month ago any Omarchy user who understood how the `docker` group works could escalate to root without a password.

What I'm trying to say is that one cannot buy the technical competence. Working on medium-complexity web apps and doing system development are two very different things. So far, Omarchy has been amateur hour when it comes to the latter.

I can already see that in 2 weeks Anthropic and Google come out with their own, tamer and lamer statements saying "please look at us, we have also hacked a foreign government!"

> Sitting and making subjective taste-based considerations is a huge energy and time sink, and takes a certain kind of individual to actually enjoy.

I would gently disagree. There are hundreds people on reddit who spend inordinate time to rice their desktop and share their dotfiles. They just haven't previously written their name all over a few prominent online projects to then market what they've done as a distro and solicit multimillion dollar donations with a straight face.

This blog post captures the essence of uneasy feelings I've had about this distro.

It has received a lot of money, way more than necessary to bootstrap development of the actual distro. Making new useful open source tools, hiring developers, engaging in FOSS advocacy are all the things they are not doing nor planning to do.

Instead, they just peddle influence. You pay ~$10k to a popular youtuber to promote your product. Now you can pay more money and your products will be promoted by DHH himself, for longer.

> the only thing my site does with your cat photo is show it back to you when you ask to look at it. No training. No selling your data to anybody

Yeah, right.

> You can certainly ask me to stop showing it to people.

There is much better solution: add author's websites to dnsmasq, so they stop resolving:

http://www.expatsoftware.com/ http://www.expatsoftware.com/articles https://stravaeger.com/ http://www.twiddla.com/ https://www.s3stat.com/

I only wish there was a centralized registry of websites that are controlled by parties that have galavant attitude if not deliberate misunderstanding of what does the right to privacy mean.

Well yes, except the current admin will never prod DOJ on this issue. If people write them letters, there is nonzero chance something will start happening.
