Obsidian.md: closed source app but it uses an open storage format (markdown) and there's a sprawling ecosystem of open source plugins.
Project Loom is not included in JDK17.
Wow, thanks for mentioning this. I was also under the impression it was e2ee by default but it was actually disabled for me.
Didn't Intel kill AVX512 support on their 12th gen CPUs?
Even if they are out of reach of western intelligence agencies, they are stepping on the Russian government’s toes with unsanctioned attacks on critical infrastructure.
He should add a gifting option, pay to troll.
Programmers being bad at naming things isn’t very damning. Add to that this guy made a few 1000 enemies with inside info with his hamfisted management, it would be leaked to the press 5 minutes after he orders it.
Btw this class seems to be for spaces not tweets and a quick search for Ukraine in
TweetSafetyLabels in the same package turns up no results, really shoddy writing.
This article is very uninformative. What’s the evidence this “safety label” is being used in an improper way and not for example Russian state propaganda or some of the extremely violent war footage?
I've been dipping my toes into the Nix ecosystem recently, having a dev environment per project with direnv is neat but how does this work with IDEs like VSCode or IntelliJ IDEA? For example, if I define a specific JDK in my project with Nix, will IntelliJ be able to pick this up? Does anyone have any good resources on how to set this up?
BTW, for others who just want to try it out without having to install anything on your system, there are docker containers you can use as a sandbox:
docker run -it nixos/nix bash
Basically useless for actual collaboration. Hope it's at least good enough to present my tablet as a whiteboard while sharing my laptop screen in a meeting.
>To maintain sanity, I have very few must-have plugins and the current vaults are all on "Minimal" themes with different color schemes making it easy for me to just toggle my Vaults. I once tried to maintain a common ".obsidian" folder and symlink to it but that was a bad idea - the vaults are better off mostly being unique with shared preferences.
My solution to maintaining seperate vaults for personal/work notes has been to make a sandbox vault where I can test/configure plugins and if I'm happy with the result I run a little script that I can point at a "real" vault that:
* backs up the current config of the target vault incase I screw up
* `rsync`s the sandbox .obsidian and meta folders (containing templater templates etc.) to the target vault
This leaves me free to experiment with plugins without getting in the way of my day-to-day notetaking.
You can host your own game server in UT but you're still depending on Epic services for the server listings and license (CD key) validation.
Really the most interesting part so far was not the actual releases themselves, but that they discovered some "ex" fed lawyer at Twitter inserting himself into the process to "vet" the material being released to the journalists[0].
Other than that there haven't been any huge revelations, though it's important to note that what we know right now is incomplete. They're gonna be drip-feeding this stuff to us to drive engagement.
Regarding the first release concerning direct political influence, I don't think we will have a smoking gun at the end of this even if it really did happen. Everyone who works a corporate job knows that anything you write down in an e-mail will come back to haunt you eventually. Maybe sketchier things happened in those face to face meetings the Twitter execs were having with intelligence agencies and politicians but I don't think we will know in the end.
The second release about shadowbanning, deboosting etc. was more interesting since they actually have a more complete picture here. This basically confirmed a bunch of manipulation happening behind the scenes that people have been suspecting for a long time. I hope they keep digging on this, I'd be interested to know more about who decided who ends up on these blacklists and why. Maybe even release the raw data so we can come to our own conclusions.

It includes a MS SQL server among other things, so for serving single digit users its gonna be heavy. Check out Vaultwarden as an alternative for small scale self-hosting.
In general I think extensions with functionality like this that require unfettered access reading and modifying every single page you visit are a huge security concern so having it be part of the browser itself makes sense. Same logic applies to ad- and tracker-blocking.
That well known history was also well known when the CEO of Cloudflare wrote a lengthy blogpost[0] defending his decision to not ban KiwiFarms 4 days before writing a second blogpost reversing that decision[1]. So either something dramatically changed in those 4 days (and as the TFA says, the evidence available to the public is pretty weak) or the more likely explanation: Matthew Prince was just looking for an excuse to submit to the pressure campaign like he did with The Daily Stormer and 8chan.
That's his right as CEO of a private company of course and I can't say I'm sorry to see KF go but honestly it's getting a little embarrassing how he writes these lofty blogposts about his principled stance upholding free speech only to capitulate completely days later.
