@marc0_dev @jmduke It's really easy. I did literally nothing. Because my site does not use any external services. It has no ads. It has no cookies not absolutely necessary for the basic functioning of the site.
It's just respecting privacy, instead of harassing users and stealing their data.

One of the funnier GDPR disclosures I've seen in a while.

I love my job. Watching a casino exec and their lawyer explain why pumping a bunch of river water under their new casino structure totally makes it a "riverboat" for purposes of Illinois casino law (while I wait for something else to be heard).

I’m the CEO of a hot dog company. I’ve worked on hot dogs for 10 years. And *I* wasn’t prepared for what I’ve just seen. Your life is about to change.
So what can you do?
Buy as many hot dogs as you can. Buy stock in hot dog companies.

@SwiftOnSecurity Thanks to oauth, you now can't just connect from any mail client to any mail provider you want anymore. The mail client devs needs to get a token from every single provider (which will have instantly leaked by design unless thr client is sass itself).
I guess that's imap, though.

As communication and information-sharing suites developed under idealism and local-network electronic paradigm have been snuffed-out, replaced with proprietary ideas that aren't yours and cycle with the year.
SMTP is the final light of a dying dream.
SMTP is the last protocol.
English
There is no protocol like it in the world, because it was created in a different one. And every other world died.
SMTP.
Email is the final gasp of the original dream of electronic sovereignty. Of a federated world of peer communication. It's the last one. The final protocol.

@_everythingism @Shitty_Future Maybe they do, It's not like doing it yourself will prevent claims it'd be AI. They are forced to adapt to the reality of the system.
English
@Shitty_Future These students will do literally anything but actually do the work themselves. 😂
English
@MatthewBockholt They may be physically the same, but the thing we value, the reality of it, is not physical in the first place.
English
@MatthewBockholt I think you are missing the point. The truth, reality, the past, etc. are not physically there / can't be seen, but they are still important and valuable. Fakes undiscernable from the real are a problem, but that does not contradict that the real has value nor imply the fake does
English
I'm not trying to be mean here, only realistic.
A: if there's no discernible difference between real photos and AI ones, then how can you be mad at the viewers?
B: if there's no way to tell the difference, then how do we know you won't start posting AI images yourself?
C: if there's no discernable difference, either they're both slop, or they're not.
🤷♂️
Carl Bovis@CarlBovisNature
Soon you will not know what is AI and what is real...we photographers will struggle to compete with fake images created with a click on a computer.😕 I still believe the vast majority of people prefer genuine nature to AI slop... do you? Follow me to guarantee REAL BIRDS!😀🐦

@cursedconnector I'd like if there was a pc with just lots of type-c + thunderbolt connectors. Put the pcie cards in a small standardized box/enclosure with an adapter, and you'll be really flexible what you put where. ssd,hdd,gpu,tv,cd,etc. All just a standard box, stack them and plug in the C.
English
Here's the thread from the last time someone had the same argument...
...and a long long list of folk who reckon that harking on the legacy connector, that powers all their treasured controllers and peripheral, is a bit of an L take there, dude!

And I hate how many people defended having so many USB-A and only one USB-C on the Steam Machine. USB-C IS OVER A DECADE OLD FFS Let this goddamn USB-A shit DIE for good.

New Patches Aim To Lower Linux Memory Use For Swap, Slightly Improve Performance
phoronix.com/news/Linux-Bet…
English
@rudiservo If something is useful can be a surprisingly subjective topic. Rust does exactly what it's designed to do. It is "safe" exactly within it's own narrow definition of what that means. That safety sure is a hell of a marketing success. Now people can claim "my code is safe!" again.
English
@DPA168 wow, thanks for the explanation, so why push for something that is not useful for part of the kernel?
Doesn't that add up mode complexity?

Linux Kernel Rust Code Sees Its First CVE Vulnerability
phoronix.com/news/First-Lin…
English
@rudiservo Well, I'm sure next people will come and say to just use the one in the standard library, let them handle the unsafe which they surely got right. And the people showibg "linked lists" which are different data structures entirely or have other unnecessary cruft included.
English
@rudiservo You see, you can't even implement something as simple as a linked list without "unsafe" somewhere. Borrow checking is hirarchical in nature, linked list usage is usually very much not. Multiple things pointing to objects. The basis of arbitraty graphs. Now borrow check that.
English
@DevuanOrg I do prefer running linux natively, though, when I'm allowed to.
English
@DevuanOrg That setting just controls if the real init system is started when the wsl starts, instead of only an ms proprietary one. At work, I run devuan in the wsl with openrc, and have that set to true so it starts openrc. I've set it up to start an xfce session, without xfce-desktop.
English

WSL on Windows crawling like molasses? One tiny tweak in /etc/wsl.conf… 🤯
But that’s just half the cure.
For real speed and freedom → run Devuan 🐧⚡

@topapamoya I believe HDMI just always sparks. It does with all my devices. No idea why.

@ValdikSS @popovicu94 It's a bit a mixed bag for parsing stuff, though. No pipes/streaming. But also no worrying about when or how much to read, if a lookahead buffer is big enough, etc. Just access whatever is needed, the only bounds to worry about are the ones of the file.
Mmap is a handy tool.
English
@ValdikSS @popovicu94 It makes some things easier though.
If you need a readonly lookup table in many programs, only needs memory once. And easy to update independent of the program, just replacing a file.
Map a memfd page twice, you get free contiguous ringbuffers, no wrapping around.
English
If your code to process a 10GB file looks like read(fd, buf, ...) in a loop, you're wasting memory and killing performance.
There's a better way.
mmap() lets you treat a 100GB file as if it's just a giant array in memory, even with only a few MB of RAM.
Here's why it's a cornerstone of high-performance I/O. 🧵👇
