The Consciousness Gradient: Qualia, Integration, and the Emergence of Intelligence Version 2 preprint is now available. zenodo.org/records/191175…

Version 1.2.0 is likely the last version I'll release for a long time (unless someone reports bugs). This thing is complete as far as I'm concerned. github.com/w4ffl35/audior…

Updated audio recorder desktop app. You can now record multiple audio sources (output or input) and control each source's gain.

@JuanSGalt @Liamjsm sure, bro.

@Liamjsm yeah but they are building it to fit their specific, personal needs and preferences. Not to fit global, mas consumption preferences. The age of custom fit, tailored software has come.

Lotta people using Claude to build software that already exists

@0xKruger @Liamjsm you retards are making apps and websites with so many security errors that a 12 year old script kiddie with raw kali linux could take your shit over. you people make pure garbage

@SirProdigle @Liamjsm no, its fuckin lame actually.

@a017444 @Liamjsm It's good that you can do this!

I need to get better at answering interview questions. Everyone looks for the STAR method (Situation, Task, Action, Result). I use the RETARD method (Ramble, Example, Tension, Awkward, Repeat, Digress).

@CarlosTX117 @MiddleOfMayhem The ghost lives in your tiny brains.

@MiddleOfMayhem And he's been haunting AARO and the UFO topic ever since.

Sean Kirkpatrick, the former director of AARO, previously responded to Luna's calls to "defund AARO": "By the time I retired, (Luna's oversight committee) hadn’t asked for a briefing from AARO. I and the Pentagon were pretty vocal about it, and subsequently (Luna's) committee finally asked for a briefing after I left. The Pentagon asked me to come up and brief them in a classified meeting. She accused AARO of setting up a honey pot, without actually knowing what a honey pot was. She also had no desire to hear actual explanations of events, calling us liars. I have trouble believing she knows the definition of transparency as it has too many syllables. Her continued conspiracy mongering is matched only by her ignorance. She’ll defund anyone who tells the truth (#DefundtheTruth)." - Sean Kirkpatrick, May 2025

It looks like this. Very simple. There aren't a lot of extremely basic cross platform options like this that I'm aware of.

This is a very simple audio recorder. It just saves audio that is playing on a given audio device that you're able to select from a drop down. Allows you to record music that is playing on your speakers, for example. Good for surveillance, storing audio from websites etc.

I updated the audiorecorder app that I released yesterday. - Cleaned up the code - Now streams strait to disc - Added releases v1.0.0 now includes Linux and Windows binaries built via Github actions. You can grab them here. github.com/w4ffl35/audior…

@billyswong @ShamashAran More information. Ubuntu vs something like MX Linux that doesn't use the same architecture

@billyswong @ShamashAran Its worth noting that the blog states that apport is disabled by default, and typically you have to click "send report" if a crash occurs, but I don't trust it - its an attack vector and a major security risk.

Has anyone yelling and screaming about Systemd and age verification actually looked at the PR? I'm guessing not. The thing you really want to watch is xdg-desktop-portal, where the age verification will actually take place.

@billyswong @ShamashAran That isn't proper English and I don't know how to interpret your question. If you rephrase it I will try to respond with a real answer, but I don't even know what that question means.

@a017444 @ShamashAran Okay, which exact PII is stored by journald, that the "syslog" system before systemd doesn't?

@billyswong @ShamashAran I need concrete evidence for what purpose? PII is stored in crash logs, that's a symptom of journald. the rest is canonical exploiting it.

@a017444 @ShamashAran There is nothing wrong in creating crash log record files. You need more concrete evidence, such as which kind of unnecessary PII is included in journald log files.

@billyswong @ShamashAran i feel like you didn't read the thread. systemd stores data, journald logs data, whoopsie/apport uses the logs and sends them to canonical

@a017444 @ShamashAran When one sends a crash report to Ubuntu/Canonical, what PII included is NOT decided by systemd-journald. So I disagree with your conclusion here. Your finger should point to whoopsie/apport. They are in-house product of Canonical.

@satansplain I had to listen to this twice

@satansplain The postscript - what the fuck? lol excellent reading of it

Satansplain #112 As the Church of Satan approaches its diamond year anniversary, a new stylized rendering of the Sigil of Baphomet is presented. Hear more about the sigil, equinoxes, the false notion of Satanic victims, and some odd listener mail. youtube.com/watch?v=N7vpsY…

@billyswong @ShamashAran read the rest of the thread - systemd architecture is a much larger problem.

@a017444 @ShamashAran This triggers me to search the actual scope of this systemd date of birth thing: - The DofB field is added to systemd-userdbd - systemd-userdbd is used by systemd-homed, and new versions of GDM, the login manager of GNOME - systemd doesn't depend on systemd-userdbd (for now)
