I do not understand this content. Can anyone explain so that I can engage properly pls

It’s not open like Adium was but Beeper lets me keep my sanity when communicating with friends and family over Facebook Messenger and WhatsApp. There are paid subscription tiers but free one is sufficient for regular personal use.

My code was scraped according to this website but let’s not kid ourselves that any kind of opt-out will prevent this. Any corpo knows that you can outsource all of your shady dealings to a couple of layers of third party vendors and pretend you didn’t know any better. It’s safe to assume that if you use an LLM that you didn’t train yourself you’re violating copyleft of some GPL project.

I pulled out a tube TV from the basement to see if it still works, ended up playing through Chrono Trigger on Mister FPGA. What a short and sweet game. Are there any modern AAA JRPGs that don’t overstay their welcome?

I also finished my „play on train only” Final Fantasy VII Remake run on Switch 2. That took some time since I only do maybe 6 hours per week on trains. Kind of scared how many trips Rebirth will take.

Up next: dunno, SMTV while travelling and Star Ocean on tube TV at home probably.

FFVI was rereleased for pretty much every platform already, sold relatively well and should satisfy that demographic. People are asking for a bigger FFVI remake because only something grand could do that story justice in another format.

It’s because consumers expect certain level of production values which is then amplified by the scale of FFVI story. By the time you invest in the required assets you want to maximise bang for your buck so each location needs more depth and that’s how you end up with something like FFVII Remake.

They pumped brakes on their own LLM, they are now going to use Google one.

I’m seriously behind times because I’m reading RHEL switched to XFS as a default in 2013 and SUSE did that even earlier :o

I don’t even need an LLM to be confidently wrong, sorry.

Why would you use XFS for those partitions in the first place? It’s not what it was designed for or used in real life and that’s likely reason this wasn’t discovered before. What I’m getting from a lot of those AI-assisted security findings is that they’re not concerned with a real vector of attack before making big claims in the media. You’ll probably be able to vandalise things with this exploit but „root privileges” is pushing it.

Those root privileges being able to edit a root-owned file if it’s in a directory that allows writes by all users. How common is that?

Saeed Abbasi, the head of Qualys’ Threat Research Unit, says the discovery emerged from a research initiative between Qualys and Anthropic, in which researchers integrated the AI model Claude Mythos Preview into their manual audit workflow.

Ah, an ad.

This is way more complex to attribute blame to people of specific gender here.

Statistically speaking, at least in my country, women are now more likely to get a degree and move to a big city for work. In the big picture it isn’t because of some affirmative action (there’s some of that but it’s blown out of proportion) but simply because women are more likely to be socialised as diligent, agreeable and therefore more compatible with education and more employable in modern white collar jobs. Men are socialised to be somewhat unruly and aggressive (especially those from rural areas) so they stay behind to look after family farms and other businesses which often aren’t very profitable. This combined with little to no contact with women leads to them looking for something to blame for how their life turned out to be, usually ending with misogyny adjacent political ideology.

Current situation is similar to what suffragettes faced back in the day - they had to convince men but also swathes of women that they deserved equal rights. This toxic masculinity isn’t just harmful for women, it costs men a lot too - shorter lifespans, higher incarceration rates, higher suicide rates etc. We’d all be better off with some other masculinity model but it’s so ingrained into capitalism that both reinforce each other.

I wouldn’t absolve women of blame either. Same as every living person regardless of gender, they tend to look for a mate of similar social standing and are unlikely to compromise because there’s little reason to do so. This has strong classist undertones because that’s what it is. Men can compromise on it but for all the wrong reasons so I’m not saying that anything should be reversed here, rather we should rethink how all of this should work for the benefit of everyone. We emancipated women not because someone thought all humans are equal but because capitalism needed more workers and that’s probably where all of this went wrong.

Social isolation amplified by antisocial media is definitely a contributing factor in declining birthrates. If the cost of living was the only/primary reason you’d have more childless couples but people don’t pair up into couples in the first place. Good on China for not succumbing to at least some aspects of this madness.

Dziękuję za tworzenie treści. Amen.

Not being able to visualise images has no bearing on whether you can conceptualise surrounding space (positions, distances) or you wouldn’t be able to function at all. While aphantasia is not a medically recognised condition and therefore not exactly well studied there’s a lot to suggest it partially overlaps with autism. This in turn would explain tendency for bottom-up thinking - your brain has to systemise everything to understand it. At least that’s my intuition as someone with both.

Apple TV is a premium product and people who are interested will keep buying those because there’s nothing better anyway. Shield TV was last updated in 2019, you don’t really need to update those things that often. AV1 HDR decode would be nice though.

M2 is standard now but there were many before it and there will be many after it. Vibe coding drivers for modems might not be a viable strategy either. Modems are extremely proprietary things that are subject to boatloads of regulations so it’s a bit of a miracle they are running on relatively open systems now.

This is cool as hell, thank you for sharing. I’d still be wary of any company promising perpetual support because the true test will be if in a few years down the line there’s a 6G modem you can replace old one with. It’s very hard to have some sort of universal computing device that would be supported forever because eventually there’s no one supplying parts or new ones are not compatible.
