So it's the user's fault in your opinion?

This is dumber than gamification. I have seen several people doing this and it's usually the worst GitHub profiles...

Yet again we are in the hands of "leaders" the only difference is that now they are childish and dumb.
Re:Continuous Claude – run Claude Code in a loop on Tuesday November 18, 2025 @03:43AM (#45962805)
I was expecting to see links to a bunch of opensource successful examples, projects self-managed and continuously adding code and getting better.

99.9999% of AI software is vaporware.

This website does not work with Oculus Quest browser, it goes to the "oh noes" page, i guess the meta browser has some issues with the bot detection algorithm.
Hey guy looking at this thread from 2035, so you know... there are still plenty of folks in the industry that knows that this is dumb. We are just too tired of fighting nonsense... we just won the web3/blockchain craziness and now this.
Re:Tesla Motors Linux Kernel on Friday October 11, 2024 @10:08PM (#41815767)
No, this does not mean that. An old version can be fully patched (at least all upstream newer bugs fixed). Not saying it's the case here though...
Is this the first time that the Physics Nobel Prize isn't awarded to physicists?

What other services were blocked in Brazil? Do you mean the Brazilian government blocks social media often?

This was very well written and an amazing challenge but my brain is wired to that "hacking common sense" that if you have physical access then it's already over... the first thing that came to my mind was that, if you have physical access, then you can reflash the BIOS, install a driver backdoor, you can boot a live OS and then it's just a matter of tampering /etc/{passwd,shadow,groups, etc} ...

but I remembered that most of the physical access hacks would not be possible if the disk is encrypted.. which then makes this kind of hack enormously attractive.

The antenna idea can be extended to be a piece of hardware with the interference device built-in (piezo or whatever) which communicates with the external world with any wireless medium and then the attacker can trigger the interference remotely. This, plus a website controlled by the hacker which the victim is scammed to visit can be enough to make it viable.

This is fascinating and terrifying.
For me it was hackers (1995) but after I got triggered Matrix had a huge influence in my mindset.

On the other hand, is more clear where things are released. When over relying on destructors, often it becomes trick to known when it happens and in which order. This kind of trade off is important to take into consideration depending on the project.

Re:Elon Musk offers $1B to Wikipedia if it changes its name on Monday October 23, 2023 @11:44AM (#37987346)
Elon is the definition of internet troll. In a perfect world, searching for "internet troll" on Google would come back a picture of Elon Musk as first result.

Instead of only hiding the arguments, is it also possible to change them? and even change argv[0]?
