… It was incredibly sobering that a case about our privacy was being conducted both in private and in secret. So we’re pleased to see a course change here. That said, the battle is not yet won. The arguments to break encryption do not just relate to this specific case and we are having to constantly make the case for why encryption is vital in our democracy; nor does this judgment stipulate that the case will be held fully in the open moving forward – as it should be – only that we can know the “bare details”. We welcome this news but we continue to fight for full transparency here.

The legislation would force companies to store and provide law enforcement with access to their users’ communications, including those that are end-to-end encrypted.3 The consensus among cybersecurity experts is that complying with this requirement for end-to-end encrypted communications services will be impossible without forcing providers to create an encryption backdoor4 —akin to a master key that unlocks every door in a building.

Hopefully they don’t pass this devastating legislation. One has to wonder who this would be benefitting the most? I doubt law enforcement even cares that much. My guess is the same that is responsible for Brexit and destroying the US. Resist wile you can, or better yet get the things you care about enshrined in your constitution and advertised among your constituents. Don’t think it can’t happen to you next.

That’s a great point I hadn’t considered. Why would they even think to change it, that’s how it works. I wonder if I can extend that thought to other aspects of my life to see where I’m blind to that notion.

I don’t expect the doctors themselves to know DNS or even adblockers for that matter, but at least have the IT infra in place to manage it for them. With all of the HIPAA requirements, I would have thought a more thorough IT practice would be required.

That sounds fantastic. The most technology I see many of them using is an audio recording device that essentially just writes the notes for them verbatim, presumably to avoid having to type on the keyboard. Is being able to touch type while talking to someone at the same time that unique of a skill?

The LAP can issue loads to addresses that have never been accessed architecturally and transiently forward the values to younger instructions in an unprecedentedly large window," the researchers wrote. “We demonstrate that, despite their benefits to performance, LAPs open new attack surfaces that are exploitable in the real world by an adversary. That is, they allow broad out-of-bounds reads, disrupt control flow under speculation, disclose the ASLR slide, and even compromise the security of Safari.”

SLAP affects Apple CPUs starting with the M2/A15, which were the first to feature LAP. The researchers said that they suspect chips from other manufacturers also use LVP and LAP and may be vulnerable to similar attacks. They also said they don’t know if browsers such as Firefox are affected because they weren’t tested in the research.

When in LinkedIn, do as the LinkedInLunatics do? Try to out lunatic the lunatics?

Very long wind up to a fucking ad.

Good news I suppose, but a couple problems I have with this article. Dems are not liberal, fuck they’re nearly as conservative as Repubs. Secondly, they’re saddling Soros as a “mega-donor” but not Musk?

Unless it’s required to load the words, it’s probably JavaScript that is trying to prevent the user from selecting it, so disabling javascript would make it selectable because the thing blocking the select is disabled. If javascript is loading the words in, then blocking javascript will make it so the page doesn’t load. But they are typically separate scripts from whatever is blocking the select, so addons can selectively block scripts that are detected to block things like select or right-click, etc. If they obfuscate the javascript to where the word load and the blocking are combined, then another method will probably be the easiest to employ like one of the other options I noted above, or going to developer options and copying the text from the inspector.

Several options to get around that. (1) Install a browser extension that will disable whatever block the page has, (2) open developer tools on a desktop browser, delete whatever javascript is preventing it, (3) possibly print to pdf, someone else suggested screenshot + OCR, etc.

Let me get this straight. A contributor was only temporarily traveling in a US-sanctioned region, they didn’t attempt to push a commit while they were there, only that they visited the region?

I’m out of the loop. Why did github “block” Organic Maps?

Can this run on UTM SE?

Run k3s on top and run your stateless services on a lightweight kubernetes, then you won’t care you have to reboot your hosts to apply updates?

The #!/bin/bash thing (first line) is called the shebang and it can use any application not just shell, so that means Python or PowerShell or any other tool.

StarVector is a foundation model for generating Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) code from images and text. It utilizes a Vision-Language Modeling architecture to understand both visual and textual inputs, enabling high-quality vectorization and text-guided SVG creation.

I was just thinking about an img2svg generator. I was tying to get Claude to do it earlier today with poor results.

I guess it depends on the coin. Probably would work given the sdcard outline would be hard to notice if it even registers. Xray of coins

I’m pretty sure an xray will go through a hollowed out coin showing the sd card and then you’re fucked.

If you’re presented your Steam games from inside Xbox app, they will present asa game from the Xbox service.

Buying games from Steam is braindead simple, so not sure what you’re on about there. Can’t get much simpler than punch in billing and CC info once, add games to cart and checkout; subsequent purchases is even easier.
