- Comment on Gentoo Linux Begins Codeberg Migration In Moving Away From GitHub, Avoiding Copilot 5 days ago:
Codeberg does actively try to prevent bot scraping.
- Comment on Texas becomes leading test ground for small nuclear reactors 5 days ago:
Is it easier to secure, monitor fewer, bigger reactors or thousands or small ones? Accidents are still going to happen and I know which scenario makes more sense to me. Especially in light of Trump recent push to deregulate nuclear energy, the EPA, pretty much any kind of sensible management of technology that is great until something goes wrong then it is multi-generational clusterfuck.

Darwin just getting ever more creative over time.
- Comment on Passive RFIDs can now stream telemetry data from sensors 6 days ago:
Straight out of the NSA ANT catalog aka LOUDAUTO and others.

This is like that part in Don’t look up when the Jennifer Lawrence’s character tells her BF to wait 6 months before she meets his mother.
- Comment on Is it really dangerous to fall sleep in the bath? 2 weeks ago:
Well … are you a fish? If so, no… if not, yes.
I sincerly hope that this is a troll post because if not, well. Sigh.
- Comment on What Happened To WebAssembly 2 weeks ago:
It seems to just be more attack surface for very little actual gain on JS. At least with JS I have NoScript, Ublock and some actual say over what loads/runs on my box. For this reason, I usually just disable all wasm/webgl/webrtc until I find out that I actually need it which for me is basically never or only for very short periods.
- Comment on KDE Linux To Provide Better Hardware Support & Better Performance 2 weeks ago:
KDE usually serves as a great DE for Windows refugees so I am very glad that it exists. Personally, I have not used it since v3.x. When v4/plasma made its debut the bugs were just a bit too much for me. It is a fairly complete overall ecosystem though in terms of “K"apps/utilities.
- Comment on Anthropic Claude Opus 4.6 uncovers 500 zero-day flaws in open-source code 2 weeks ago:
So if AI is running fuzzers to find bugs, credit should go to the fuzzers, not the AI.
Please stop reposting the Anthropic shit posts. This is pure advertising spam from a disreputable company.
- Comment on AI Didn't Break Copyright Law, It Just Exposed How Broken It Already Was 2 weeks ago:
The content produced by humans was scraped en-masse for the explicit purpose of training models which were then monetized into business products.
I struggle to reconcile that with Fair Use.
I can see if the source was EULA’d to remove all rights to what you post to things like Reddit, Stack Overflow, and if somehow those entities were contacted ahead of time and negotiated usage. You, I and the web server logs know that this was almost never the case.

- Comment on Scientists say quantum tech has reached its transistor moment 2 weeks ago:
So the thing with useful quantum computers is that if they ever do make it actually work and manage to scale it up, the first thing they will do is render most modern encryption obsolete over night. My guess is that Bluffdale has a mountain of encrypted data they’d start cracking immediately.
My cynicism can’t allow me to think that we’d hear about it until years after that backlog is cleared and the NSA (and now by extension Israel and Russia) have backdoored any network of interested 10 times over.
The far more likely scenario is that this like stable/cold-ish Fusion, practical graphene, CRiSPER miracle cures are still way more theory than driveable cars at this point and for next several years at least. These folks just want more money and have to keep claiming they are close to get it.
- Comment on You won: Microsoft is walking back Windows 11’s AI overload — scaling down Copilot and rethinking Recall in a major shift 2 weeks ago:
Prolific cannibal promises to review their choice in seasonings to be more tactful as they continue to feast on PC users’ privacy, freedom and last scraps of digital dignity on a global scale.
I am sure that this empty promise of change has everything to do with their user empathy and absolutely nothing to do with their recent financial results which indicated how hollow their AI-slop-bullshit revenue growth was last quarter.
- Comment on Microsoft gave FBI a set of BitLocker encryption keys to unlock suspects' laptops: Reports | TechCrunch 4 weeks ago:
Except that Microsoft basically puts a gun to every users head to login with a Microsoft account which can/does backup the recovery keys.
- Comment on Microsoft gave FBI a set of BitLocker encryption keys to unlock suspects' laptops: Reports | TechCrunch 4 weeks ago:
BitLocker provides for a recovery key. This is to allow someone to regain access to an encrypted device in the event that they lose their PIN, any one of these scenarios happen, OR when suspects do not want to cooperate with LEOs.
Find your BitLocker recovery key
If the target device is part of an enterprise and managed with EntraId/Intune this is the option. Escrowed keys.
- Comment on A Guide to the Circular Deals Underpinning the AI Boom | A web of interlinked investments raises the risk of cascading losses if AI falls short of its potential. 4 weeks ago:
Bloomberg can fuck off after what they did to Gamers Nexus recently. Zero credibility there.
- Comment on India's proposed phone security rules that are worrying tech firms 1 month ago:
Given that these same objecting companies have had tens of thousands of Indian developers, with source code access for iOS and Android, on their payrolls for decades now … I am not sure why they would suddenly be worried about this now.
