Understandable with Apple dropping official support but kind of sad as they were selling Intel powered Macs until as recently as 2023 and with Tahoe still continuing to receive security updates until 2028.

How is NixOS on Intel Macs currently? Hopefully Linux can still breathe life into these computers in 10 years time.

I wonder if big companies will now start paying shadow libraries like annas archive for direct access, to minimize publicity of how training data was acquired, like Nvidia supposedly did?

Few tens of thousands of dollars is a rounding error in Meta's bottom line but if this case goes anything like the Anthropic one, I would see it likely.

Of course it wouldn't prevent authors from asking LLM's for content from their books and suing Meta again but I imagine authors would be less likely to with less evidence.

Looks like SteamOS and the accompanying hardware are enough of a success that they're at least spending _some_ resources to try and figure out anticheat on Linux.

What can competitive games even do in the long run against cheating on Linux since cheaters can re-compile the kernel to hide away things like memory reads, mouse movement and rendering?

I also wonder if Apex Legends will re-enable Linux support in the near future to test this anticheat.

Tachiyomi[0] is a FOSS comic reader app for Android which has support for extensions to source comics from different sites which are unrelated to Tachiyomi

Tachiyomi already removed their extension list which contained both unofficial and official sources for comics[1]

There was a talk at 37c3 recently about UHD BluRay encryption[1] as well which is just more of the same "security" through obscurity

The together version found here https://nothing-together.sonnet.io/ is neat as well, you can play simple sounds to another person or a bell gong to everyone

One thing i found a bit distracting is the very obvious looping point of the background music

Finding high quality for older or non-english shows might be of some difficulty but they're quite common for shows and movies released for english audiences

This is just a guess but requiring Widevine L1 might be enough deterrence for some groups to wait for highest quality BluRay releases

It is! This video is a bit old now but it's still so unbelievable how easy it was for the speaker to "kill" people (in Australia)

In Finland you can go to any corner store to get a 300mbps 4G SIM or even 600 mbps 5G SIM and use it as your home internet in a LTE modem (which is very common)

I've looked into archiving all the pages i visit as well and warcprox[1] has been bookmarked for a while now

Hard drive storage space being so cheap in the ~$15/TB range makes this more feasible even for video archival

Reading the accompanying cloudpets article is very similar to my experience with reporting exploits.

Found a XSS vulnerability on a very popular danish website and 0 contact since reporting. The vulnerability still exists and even found a few less severe bugs

Much better than the OSnews article that related Asahi[1] to the bug and when called out by marcan they stated that the headline would stay [2].

The article seems to have been deleted[3] at some point since the link from marcan goes to a 404

I have almost 1500 rows in the "My filters list" (comments and blank lines included)

I couldn't think of how horrible the web browsing experience would be without uBlock Origin

Looks like Njalla's VPN[1] is missing, I'm not sure if they have their own servers but it seems more than likely

i love hyprlands fork of xdg-desktop-portal[1] which fixes a bunch of things like obs window capture by using custom wayland protocol extensions[2]

I think these were on the uBlockOrigin subreddit, couldn't find the post

Since watchtime is a major contributor to the algorithm, it might be the opposite if you click out of the video fast enough

I've done this to the point of getting less than a half page of recommendations, only autogenerated "Mix" playlists with music from 5+ years ago or almost exclusively videos from a channel i recently watched or subscribed to.

I installed a channel blocker[1] extension to block channels from ever showing up.

> We decided to release version 1.0 and arranged a release event. The Finnish computer press was invited, and a TV station even sent a crew.

Was this ever aired? Was it recorded? If so, is there a public archive of it somewhere?
