It’s creating a snowball effect in Japan, as schools, daycares and kindergartens close down it’s getting harder and harder to find people to watch kids when people need to work. Most daycares have waiting list and point systems determining how much “need” a set of parents have for daycare because there’s not enough of them.

Research from a few years ago was able to measure gait (so a person’s height and build etc) from the wifi shadow of a single router.

I assume 3 is to get the super accurate placement.

They’re both “immutable” in the sense that they’re setting up either read-only Filesystem Hierarchies (as in bazzite, which uses ostree) or Symlinking their entire filesystem hierarchy to a read-only “store” (as in nixos).

Bazzite uses something called ostree to “diff” the filesystem hierarchy much like git does, while Nix basically makes giant read-only store of files and hashes them, then weaves them all together into a “view” of a filesystem that gets symlinked into the context of a running program.

I know of matrix, what are some other alternatives?

Also a protocol that got falsely maligned during the crypto days was secure scuttlebutt, and people should be talking about it more.

I assume a lot of android foss app developers are going to refuse to register and the projects are going to need to be forked.

Personally I’m getting an old feature phone and an ipad mini that only has wifi. If my choice is between apple iOS and google iOS I’d rather just not use anything to do with Google.

These only work with ARM cpus I think

iOS has had this same system for forever and nobody’s ever (seriously) claimed you could sideload on there.

Worst part is everything has to use Microsoft’s signing keys, so it’s ironically a gigantic security hole if your threat model includes being on Microsoft’s shit list.

That’s good and also somewhat disappointing as they were the first to release the weights and mechanism to run them as open weights.

A lot of fully open source (and “ethically trained”, depending on your opinion of that entire idea) models still use major portions of the code they open sourced.

A lot of relatively “good” LLM models run on top of Llama.cpp

“it says here you clicked ‘sign me up for ISIS’ 10000 times?”

“Haha no officer, you see it was my social chaff AI that clicked it”

I don’t think chain of trust and security through kernel-level access are fighting the same problem.

Usually chain of trust is to prevent app tampering, and kernel-level access is to prevent memory tampering.

I assume Windows is creating a new API for applications to monitor certain regions of memory for tampering without needing kernel access.

For those that think the response is overblown, from the thread:

These images are intended to be a drop-in replacement for Steam Deck OS for handheld console-like gaming PCs like the Steam Deck (Lenovo Legion Go, ASUS ROG Ally, MSI Claw, and other hardware in the same space).

These are also to be used to create gaming theater PCs, for streamlined use on a living room television.

The issue with “just using Flatpak or a container” is that the gamescope compositor simply does not work in those situations, when paired with Steam’s Gaming Mode, as it has the same concerns as a desktop environment. There would simply be no way to serve Gaming Mode as an environment.

As such, moving to this would essentially force Bazzite, as a project, to abandon its primary reason for existing - alienating 2/3s of their userbase. The remaining 1/3s would be served a lesser experience for a variety of more paper cut reasons, and VR is already a complex topic which would get even worse.

It’s a big deal because disallowing the native steam build would make it nearly impossible to run bazzite in a SteamOS-like experience (which accounts for 2/3s of bazzite’s users)

only problem could be other packages or the kernel becoming incompatible

Yea dependency management without updates is like 80% of the work that goes into package maintenance

In 2001 when The US authorized use of force on Al-Qaeda that, along with The 1973 war powers resolution gave the president (as in the position of president, not just Bush) unlimited ability to bomb anyone loosely associated with Al-Qaeda in perpetuity.

It’s what allowed Bush, then Obama, then Trump, and then Biden, and now Trump again, to use the military as they see fit for performing military operations against basically any state and group in the middle east.

I’m no expert, but usually when missiles “go ballistic” their engines turn off and they have limited maneuvering capability at the end of their flight.

This one looks like it had engines on all the way to the target, which is a fairly newer class of design.

I have also been done in many times by git-filter-repo. My condolences to the chef.

I’m not sure how you’re getting wallpaper engine to work on Linux because it’s not supported on anything other than windows.

Are you using Wallpaper Engine? If so you are likely going to keep having issues with your screen blanking while you try and use it, as it’s not supported on Linux.

Jokes aside I actually do appreciate that almost all guix packages are verified source and not just copy scripts of already built tarballs.

Guix is awesome!

Nonguix substitute server is down for the fifth straight day, forcing me to rebuild the entire Linux kernel when updating

And you should Never use it!
