the Internet Archive thing is an example of the fascinating trend recently where people consuming products they’re not paying for seem to believe they also have the right to dictate how much human labor is spent producing them.
lots of people in the replies with zero technical knowledge and zero dimes donated to the internet archive having lots of opinions on how to maintain and secure a vital service, provided for free, with minimal downtime during an unprecedented hailstorm of CVEs
Internet Archive@archive.org · 2d agoAn update from Brewster Kahle on today's outage.
starting to see some unironic PHP defence and: none of that, please it is an objectively bad language that was designed wrong from day one. yes, recent versions have improved it. just like C, though, it is all living legacy code that should be phased out
"IOT boxes that can't or don't update are now trivially MITM'able forever." "IOT boxes that can't or don't update are now trivially MITM'able forever."
Russ Cox@swtch.com · 3d agoThe details are now public, as of two hours ago. bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi... The secret P-384 keys for these intermediate CAs are all zeros except the last 8 bits. All not-updated software can be MITM'ed now. IOT boxes that can't or don't update are now trivially MITM'able forever.
downgrading sonnet 5.5 to sonnet 5 for the slightest hint of cybersecurity-related work is diabolical, i hate anthropic
is it bad that i've never heard of lobste.rs before? should i have known about it?
this also applies to elaborate torture fantasies of LLMs. highly unpleasant! i'd probably avoid interaction at any cost!
nokyan @nokyan.net · 2mo agosure, no "real" feelings are being hurt when calling an LLM "clanker", "wireback" or "tinskin" or whatever, but if you see no issue at all casually using terms that are so obviously made to look and sound like actual slurs used against actual people, you are probably a pretty unpleasant person
404 media sucks ass, dogpiling a trans woman with their official social media account, wtf
the gamer entitlement is fucking insane. they're yelling at a developer who has spent a decade of his time writing Dolphin and PPSSPP for using Claude to build a prototype. the same people who don't pay for their emulator, certainly don't pay for ROMs are entitled to bully developers now?
for the love of god something needs to be done about the g*za fundraising scam accounts on bluesky. i don't post that much but like 50% of my posts gets a repost by such an account. earlier today i even got a dm request of a scam account
maybe it's just my perception but if someone had defended copyright like this 10 years ago, people would have made fun of them. rightfully so.

Hendrik Mans@hmans.dev · 4w agoImagine believing, like seriously being convinced, that the Internet used to be more colorful than it is today (and, on top, showing *those* apps as evidence.) Had to double check that the account is not satire. (Of course this is from a guy hysterically ranting about "AI slop" on Mastodon)
i have ascended to the heavenly realm of 1 gbps fiber internet. no longer am i shackled with a twisted pair of copper wires, condemned to the hellish purgatory of 50 mbps DSL
This is a transistor. It controls current between the collector and the emitter. It's a fancy dimmer switch. There is nothing this device can do that you couldn't already do with a bunch of dimmer switches. No matter how fast they are or how much Bell Labs hypes them, it's just a dimmer switch.
one of the funniest things to me about om*rchy is how stupidly bloated the iso is, it's 5.8 GB, like what the fuck is in there? fedora's isn't even 3 GB, the only distro's iso i've found that is bigger than omarchy's is ubuntu's at 6 GB
removed almost all my blocks because i figured i'm too liberal with the block button but some responses to bsky38 reeeaaally make me wanna block half of the website again

sure, no "real" feelings are being hurt when calling an LLM "clanker", "wireback" or "tinskin" or whatever, but if you see no issue at all casually using terms that are so obviously made to look and sound like actual slurs used against actual people, you are probably a pretty unpleasant person
