- Comment on Arch Linux continues to feel the force of a DDoS attack after two brutal weeks — attackers yet to be identified as project struggles to restore full service 4 days ago:
The details of origin and motives of the attack, along with mitigation tactics, are, understandably, being kept under wraps while the investigation continues
I hope they’ll disclose at least the origin, and what they think their reasons are, when it’s over.
I’m curious about who would attack Arch and why.
- Comment on Google launches dedicated Password Manager app for Android 4 days ago:
Google has too much of a long history of discontinuing their apps not long after launching them, this one won’t be any different.
- Comment on 4 days ago:
Can people not search “Ed Zitron newsletter,” or “Ed Zitron podcast”? I’m kinda surprised how much this happens
Would it kill you to add the links yourself?
There you go:
- Comment on LLMs aren’t world models 1 week ago:
Ofc they’re not, they’re not made for knowledge not intelligence, they’re made to “predict” language patterns based on probability.
- Comment on Microsoft Store application updates can no longer be disabled 1 week ago:
The problem with Microsoft is they always try to cater to the absolute lowest denominator when it comes to users, I understand why they do it, because there are indeed some people that shouldn’t look at a computer even with a binocular, but I don’t agree with their approach nonetheless.
Being treated like a moron by an OS infuriates me and that’s why I switched to Linux many years ago.
- Comment on AI experts return from China stunned: The U.S. grid is so weak, the race may already be over 1 week ago:
I think Trump open war against them helps, I mean, if you cut them our of critical supply, you push them to develop their own, they’re not stupid.
- Comment on Microsoft's Windows lead says the next version of Windows will be "more ambient, pervasive, and multi-modal" as AI redefines the desktop interface 1 week ago:
What the heck does “more ambient” even mean?
you’ll be able to speak to your computer while you’re writing, inking, or interacting with another person. You should be able to have a computer semantically understand your intent to interact with it
God save us all…
- Comment on Microsoft begin rolling out Xbox account age verification checks in response to UK Online Safety Act 4 weeks ago:
We expect to roll out age verification processes to more regions in the future.
Why on earth do they want to apply this bullshit elsewhere? Isn’t the law UK only?
- Comment on Global hack on Microsoft product hits U.S., state agencies, researchers say 5 weeks ago:
It’s a zero-day vulnerability but the article doesn’t say what it is.
Microsoft states it affects all on-premises servers, they say their cloud is not affected.
- Comment on Valve are now removing a bunch of sex games from Steam to keep banks and card companies happy 5 weeks ago:
Finally an explanation that makes a lot of sense, thank you!
- Comment on Subnautica 2 publishers Krafton accuse ousted bosses of abandoning duties, and now those ex-leads are suing 1 month ago:
I removed Subnautica 2 from my wishlist the moment I read the founders were fired, and after this I surely won’t buy it.
It’s a shame tho, the first was fantastic and I had high hopes for this one (didn’t like BZ tho).
- Comment on VMware perpetual license holder receives audit letter from Broadcom 1 month ago:
The company I work for did the same, it’s not easy to completely replace a virtual farm but we’re working on it :)
- Comment on Bazzite would shut down if Fedora goes ahead with removing 32-bit 2 months ago:
Didn’t Ubuntu propose the same a while ago and had to step back because of all the backslash?
Is the change coming from Red Had this time? They’re enterprise only so it’s possible they don’t care about home users whom are the ones still in need of 32bit libraries, I think big enterprises would use Windows virtual machines for that.
I’m not personally impacted since I use Linux MX on my gaming desktop (Debian based) and Debian stood up during the Ubuntu debacle to state they have no intention whatsoever to remove 32bit libraries in the foreseeable future, but it’s certainly a blow for a lot of people, I hope Fedora change their mind about it.
- Comment on Lemmy.zip Turns Two! 🎂🎉🥳 2 months ago:
Happy birthday!!!
Thank you for all the fantastic job you all admins do for all of us <3
- Comment on Upcoming MMO 'BitCraft Online' will be open source 2 months ago:
Ofc, assets should be copyrighted.
- Comment on Upcoming MMO 'BitCraft Online' will be open source 2 months ago:
That’s interesting.
Assuming they’re hosting the project on GitHub, I did a search but the only repo I found that seems relevant is the backend SpacetimeDB mentioned in the article: github.com/clockworklabs/SpacetimeDB.
Do they really intend to open the source of the entire game? Or just the backend?
- Comment on New to Lemmy 2 months ago:
Hi and welcome! :)
- Comment on Welcome to Lemmy.zip 2 months ago:
I’m not importing anything either, I’ll let everything go with the instance.
New home, new discoveries as you said :D
- Comment on Welcome to Lemmy.zip 2 months ago:
Thank you! :)
- Comment on Welcome to Lemmy.zip 2 months ago:
Thanks for the detailed explanation.
I understand the technical point of view and yes, they definitively wrote on their lemmy.world “copy” of this thread given how the fediverse work, tho they should be able to see which instance each post originates from.
I most probably worded my answer very poorly, I was at a loss of words, not only because of what I perceived as incoherent behaviour, but also because of the circumstances.
I mean, I’m a lemm.ee “refugee” like many in this thread, I registered here only 2 days ago, still very sad for the loss of .ee, the admins wrote a fantastic welcome post for all of us, and of all the things they could say they come here to remark what they think of the domain? Seriously ?!?
- Comment on Welcome to Lemmy.zip 2 months ago:
So, .zip is so bad that you block the entire domain on your home network yet you’re here commenting?
LMAO
- Comment on Reddit sues Anthropic, alleging its bots accessed Reddit more than 100,000 times since last July 2 months ago:
Do you really believe they don’t have backups? Especially since it seems selling content for AI training was their plan for quite a while?
Or that they didn’t make full backups a couple years ago before the protest, anticipating a lot of users would try to delete their comments?
I think the only way to truly delete anything from reddit would be living in EU and enforcing a GDPR request, but even in that case, I believe it would be very difficult to check they actually comply.
- Comment on Lemm.ee communities migration megathread 2 months ago:
Why? It’s the point of Lemmy, being able to participate in communities regardless of where they’re hosted and where your account is registered.
- Comment on Welcome to Lemmy.zip 2 months ago:
Thank you so much for the warm welcome!!
Lemm.ee was really a fantastic place, while losing it is heartbreaking to me, I fully understand the admin team reasons and I wish them all the best in their lives and future endeavors.
I can never thank them enough for what they’ve done for us, I hope they’ll see this thread.
I chose Lemmy.zip because it seemed to me the most similar in policies and moderation, I’ll do my best to make it my new home :)
