Re:WiFi protocol flaw allows attackers to hijack network traffic

I for one am very concerned that someone may be able to spoof a device on my WLAN and listen to plain text packets or spoof packets of a device. Do you know how many users would click proceed if they got a certificate mismatch warning not even knowing what it means?

Good that they changed it but this is certain to break a lot of automation pipelines. I'd rather be safe than sorry though.
Re:The privacy loophole in your doorbell

I used to think the same thing until I caught a 40 year old man stalking my teen daughter and continually trying to peer into her bedroom windows on camera. So while it feels good to be ignorant, it doesn't make everything go away. Also, the people commiting crime seem the most concerned with people having cameras. Hmm, wonder why.

Some sites now are literally not loading the actual paywalled content until after you sign in, so not matter what you do you aren't going to be able to access it unless someone with a paid subscription shares that content and it is then uploaded to a third party paywall bypasser.
Re:Valent Is a KDE Connect Client for GTK-Based Desktops

GTK != Gnome. KDE is extremely bloated and so that is why I avoid it. One KDE package wants to pull in pretty much all the dependencies for a full desktop environment which isn't what I want to do.

When it is clear that the interests of the workers and the interests of the company aren't being decided evenly, it is time to repeal those laws. Until Democrats start unilaterally proposing new legislation to repeal those laws they have to share the blame. They contributed to this mess.

Bye then. I can see you're planning on ignoring actual legislation being pushed and in many places passed doing just that.
Re:Wikipedia’s Intentional Distortion of the History of the Holocaust
on Sunday February 12, 2023 @02:56PM (#34766256)
Thank you for delivering on that. I am not denying that the holocaust happened, but what bothers me is that people are so quick to claim antisemitism for questioning things.
Re:Wikipedia’s Intentional Distortion of the History of the Holocaust
on Sunday February 12, 2023 @02:53PM (#34766221)
It doesn't put you on the road to holocaust denial. Did I say the holocaust didn't happen? No, I said the ability to not question things is fishy. You seem to equate that with full on denial. Why would you be so worried about people asking questions? If people deny something that have been proven then that is just them outing themselves as ignorant. Arresting people and making laws that make questioning things illegal is full on censorship and authoritarianism. It isn't even real history when you go down that path, it is a forced narrative.

The allies were also motivated to inflate numbers to boost their war efforts. I remember similar things happening during the Iraq War... remember all those weapons of mass destruction that they were pushing, and then come to find out you were manipulated and fell for it.

It's irrelevant to the truth to study history and try to make it accurate? If people were trying to determine how many people died during the civil war no one would care, but simply trying to determine how many people died during WW2 is antisemitic? Yeah, keep pretending like that isn't fishy.

What is weird is that they want to make it illegal in Canada and the US to even study or question history. It is already illegal in other countries. They want people to fear that simply asking questions could result in getting knocked unconscious and they want people so radicalized that they are willing to do that to anyone who dares ask questions. Why? Why must an apartheid state have so much power?
Re:Debunking the Microsoft/OpenAI/Google hype and over-reaction
on Sunday February 12, 2023 @12:51AM (#34760241)
Agreed, but Microsoft is the type to use AI to run manipulation campaigns. I remember them using NVIDIA Teslas for AI back in 2015 and loading Reddit big data to manipulate social media and counter negative news about them.

At least for Chromium and Android, they are open source and more standard to propose and contribute changes. Yes, Google isn't perfect but they have done a much better job overall for their consumer tools and products.
