A malicious Twitch chat message can trigger code execution in OBS Studio. The attack targets OBS Studio and custom Twitch chat overlays (Browser Sources) that insert unsanitized chat directly into the page and can execute JS within the overlay. cyberinsider.com/malicious-tw...

Malicious Twitch chat messages can trigger code execution on OBS Studio

A malicious Twitch chat message could be turned into native code execution on a streamer’s Windows PC through a OBS Studio flaw.

Friendly reminder that Duolingo was initially concieved to trick people into translating articles for free, which they later used as training data for MTL algorithms. Duolingo's primary purpose has NEVER been about teaching you a language, even from the start! slate.com/technology/2...

If it doesn’t charge users and, so far, doesn’t serve them any ads, how does Duolingo make money? It tricks you into working as an unpaid translation service. At the end of some lessons, Duolingo will ask you if you want to practice by translating a real-world document. Which will turn out to be, say, a BuzzFeed article. By melding together enough stabs at this task from high-level Duolingo users, the app can render a surprisingly accurate translation. Which is worth good money. So far, Duolingo has contracts with BuzzFeed and CNN to translate stories from English into languages such as Spanish, French, and Portuguese. This service is already earning Duolingo hundreds of thousands of dollars a year, but von Ahn predicts he will be adding a raft of new clients soon. “The language translations market is huge,” he says. “It’s a $30 billion per year market.”

It really irks me when people share their 300, 600, 1000 day Duolingo streaks but still don't know how to use Japanese. Here's an explanation for why apps like Duolingo don't work for learning to any fluency. jtalkonline.com/why-apps-lik...

Their whole “we’re democratising art” “stop gatekeeping art” are very clearly bullshit when you see it’s always been about attacking artists, nothing more.

Instagram post Cara Needs Your Help! Cara needs your help. We have been scraped a third time. This is now a targeted attack meant to cause artists pain. Scrapers know we're a volunteer project with no financial means to take action. So they say it's legal, believing themselves untouchable. We're taking action.

Sad about this so idk .. it's a long shot but if anyone knows anyone who knows anyone at discord I really want this account back.. it has recorded my entire life for a decade. my heart breaks knowing all that history could be gone forever. My memory is not good and every loss hurts so much :(

HimboPrime // sleepymaxxing & dogpilled@himboprime.bsky.social · last mo.

I miss my discord account .. support was absolutely goddamn useless and basically told me to fuck myself when I told them the email domain on the acct shuts down and locks inactive emails after 6 months. 10 years of my life on an account sitting dead unused just so someone could send some cryptoshit

btw if you use twitch at all, not just as a streamer but also as a viewer/chatter, you should really really opt out of the ai shit they silently enabled not just for your privacy and all that but also to show the amazon higher ups that no one wants this www.twitch.tv/settings/sec...
