Yandex is Russia’s Google, sold in 2024 to Russian oligarchs with close state ties, so I’d say it’s justified to criticize this particular sponsorship business

World News@lemmy.world•China aims to eliminate severe air pollution this year
2·2 months agoso did they?
hourly CN air quality map, unit is µg/m³: https://www.air-level.com/
reuters says “The WHO considers PM2.5 concentrations above 50 micrograms per cubic metre “severe” air pollution.” but I couldn’t actually find that in WHO global air quality guidelines or anywhere else. china considers >500 µg/m³ “severe” (严重) and everything on the map would be below that

Linux@programming.dev•GNOME and Mozilla Discuss Proposal to Disable Middle Mouse Paste on Linux
2·4 months agoah i have had that happen before lol. it does copy spaces but it doesn’t overwrite your main clipboard so i don’t have qualms about it. every app you’d expect to support middle-mouse drag except notepad/gedit/kwrite/etc supports it instead of pasting unless you use chromium without the relevant extension or remain static over a textbox.

Technology@lemmy.world•America Has Become a Digital Narco-State - Paul Krugman
1·4 months agoIt’s not just about digital privacy. It never talks about data privacy. It’s about consumer protection and social media’s nature being harmful. The only European law violations mentioned are anti-scamming + “𝕏 refuses to make its public data available to researchers”. It’s also explicitly in favor of KOSA, which lets the FTC ban anything it wants from children’s eyes online. It’s quite implied that the article supports banning social media for youth.

1·4 months agoIs comparing social media to a dangerous drug over the top? Not according to the U.S. Surgeon General’s office, which in 2023 released an advisory titled “Social Media and Youth Mental Health” (download it now before RFK Jr. suppresses it!), which summarized extensive evidence of mental health damage to children and adolescents who consume excessive amounts of social media.
Okay, that comparison’s still wayyyy over-the-top.

Could we talk about Unity? I’d wager that these bugs wouldn’t have been found by 2027 if Ubuntu hadn’t adopted sudo-rs. And I’d say “look at where Unity is right now” if they hadn’t switched to GNOME Shell.

Linux@programming.dev•sudo-rs Affected By Multiple Security Vulnerabilities - Impacting Ubuntu 25.10
17·6 months agoOne of the patches is to prevent the sudo password from being leaked in case of a timeout or sudo being killed. Another patch is to use enum for the feedback parameter. Another patch to ensure feedback is always erased before exiting the read unbuffered code. Another change is also made to not treat backspace as a password character when the password is empty.
