 @whitequark wow that's pretty good, I once designed an entire computer in 2020 and completely forgot about it.

 @whitequark@mastodon.social i am annoyed by the fact that the readme mentions the word "pipx" two times less than 69 times (at least based on my manual count, maybe i'm wrong, i don't really care unless it's actually 69 times)  @whitequark One more package manager is all we need bro. Just one more python package manager will fix it. I promise bro we're gonna fix python

> It doesn't matter if I make a dozen "how to disable recall" tutorials. The second YOUR data shows up on someone ELSE'S screen, it's in THEIR recall database. this has nothing to do with microsoft recall! anybody you send stuff to can have it compromised. you message your high school friend, she gets caught at a protest, now cops have all that data you can never control the data you give to somebody else, recall or not

 @whitequark @soller @whitequark You build connections with people which you trust that they can control the data, and you educate the rest so that you can trust them. That is the only real solution. @whitequark it's funny to think in my colleagues when they come to my computer, enter a password and I always choose to don't look to the keyboard. with "recall" I will not have more shame, thanks bug brother!! Can you answer this simple question about the C programming language? $ cat test.c What number does this program print? Anonymous poll

  @whitequark C does not define the exact width of a byte. A char (read: byte) must be at least 8 bits wide, but can be as wide as the implementation wants. So if you have 12-bit chars and want to specify their values using \x, two hexadecimal digits won’t be enough. And saying “all following digits are part of the number” is easier for both the specification and the programmer than saying “the number of digits is ceil(CHAR_BIT/4).” In theory, in a world where you actually have systems with CHAR_BIT ≠ 8. i don't think i know anybody who is joyful about it why even bother with the effort and money lol

@whitequark i feel like this is due to not being in the right circles for grs to be joyous; i absolutely know most people who've gotten grs in my circles love it  @whitequark i mean, "joyful" is probably a strong way of putting it. i'm pretty content with what i ended up with, and i consider it worth it after these five years. minimal complications because i went to one of the most experienced surgeons. helps that single-payer healthcare here in Canada wrote the cheque. truth be told, i don't really think about it much these days. it's just the shape of my body now. i would hesitate to generalize based on the shared trauma of those you commiserate with. remember that bill gates joke where an audience member for a presentation of a new voice-controlled microsoft os whispered "format c: enter" to it? well, it's no longer a joke https://mastodon.social/@kennwhite/112290497758846218  @whitequark saw an article / paper that was like “major security flaw found in llms, llms allow remote code execution from single emails” and it was literally like, someone had set up an llm to scrape every email they recieved and also given it shell access to do things in response to the emails and I was sitting there thinking like… What did you expect to happen?  @whitequark why on earth are they giving LLMs a mechanism to execute code or commands in the first place? it's not like they're free agents magically exhibiting this as emergent behaviour. 6G will be the last wireless network generation which doubles as an ASME-recognized welding position passkeys are great i love having an authentication mechanism that doesn't support Linux unless you have an Android phone with a recent version of Android and a Google account tied to it  @whitequark What are passkeys in this context? Is this *yet another* embrace/extend/extinguish from google? Edit: Yup, of course it is...  @whitequark Passkeys/WebAuthn does work on external FIDO2 compliant keys with a PIN code set. Firefox 114 explicitly added support for this on Linux (https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/114.0/releasenotes/). I think the issue is that there is no standard place yet to store passkeys besides that. On Windows, Windows Hello is used while iCloud Keychain is used on macOS. There are techically some external solutions like Bitwarden or 1Password, although I’m not sure how well they work yet. catherine: routinely gets a panic attack if someone mentions a 3d printer issue in the vicinity this system uses two extruders: one direct drive (stock) and one bowden (bolted to the side). this is apparently important for something doesn't blob on tool change, doesn't jam too often, uses a complicated system of gcode macros to track the state of material multiplexing unit so that the slicer can issue a single command and have it ready (other than purging), requires only a few screws and a pneumatic fitting to assemble  @whitequark@mastodon.social it only now struck me that we are incredibly lucky that the metric/imperial divide ended just before wide use of electricity. Just imagine how horrible it would be to have imperial voltage and metric voltage you are a catgirl because you want to appear cute and pettable and to have an owner who feeds you and plays with you i am a catgirl because i have claws and i will not hesitate to use them we are not the same you know that local stray who singletoothedly halved the local bird population, has a few dozen scars (mostly from fighting other cats that are bigger than her), annoys you by being incredibly loud at night, and remains unspayed because no one in the vicinity even thinks of attempting to catch her? i'm that kind of catgirl. type of girl who calls anything she does not like about herself "bpd"; if you consider GPT-based agents and their principals lifeforms, then the niche that makes the most sense is probably parasitism: mimic streams of data that are valuable well enough that it would take more resources to detect the mimicry than to acquiesce to it i'll leave the reader to make any conclusions from biological parallels themselves the future of social media is infinitely many ChatGPT instances arguing increasingly fine points of whether "bi lesbians" exist, forever |
do you want to end with linux-cn being a fork that lives entirely in its own ecosystem? because this is how you get linux-cn be a fork that lives entirely in its own ecosystem you are effectively excluded from
