That's effectively what I said :)

I'd love a reference on that. I didn't think it did anything like that. Firefox containers and good browser hygiene can, but if you slip up...

Lots of companies do this. I've seen it on HN even. We probably should consider it an attack, but there's no way regulators will go for it. There are counter measures against it th…

Removing noise is difficult if not impossible. The best someone could probably do is find a sensor whose noise characteristics are a superposition of their cameras and another addi…

This. Sure all three letter agencies need avenues to shuffle large somes of grey and black market cash around, art is convenient for that... Music and movies too. An extra plus for…

Yup. Defense is mostly technical nuance. Attacks outside of academia often rely on the weakest links, distracted or scared humans. Chatgpt and LLMs like it can easily mass phish or…

If you check my posts on this subject I never said anything about this being big. I even said it'd probably fail. I didn't know the authors had no intention of not doing anything w…

Maybe they have a different vision for it. And sometimes people prefer to work under different conditions. The ends don't justify the means. People jump from one insurance company …

You may not realize this but, every cellphones gps is tracked and bought and sold to various companies every day. Every minute of your physical location and identity. Every ad you …

Just be careful y'all. Even though something is a bug or a mistake you could get in bigtime shit over it, or a bill.

This. Once a bias is known it must be corrected. Allowing it to stand is basically saying "we don't care about black consumers, they can't use this feature, and we will continue to…

I feel like I'm missing a big event or something... What has the FBI done that's worse than what advertising companies have been doing for years?

Are there other trust worthy distros for older not Google android devices? I remember checking out the space half a decade ago and it was dismal. IE, may brick your device, may be …

Yep! And that's why I say go for it. Worst comes to worst some smart kids get great experience writing cool software.

There's a reason why most been around the block companies don't offer people leadership positions to technical experts.

It'd all work the same provided crablang made additive changes to the syntax.

No. It's just people doing what they want with OSS. The majority of the mindshare is still in one place. It looks more like a protest and or a hobby project then anything else.

Maybe it'd be a good idea to just clean house and elect new people. Possibly even people who resigned exclusively and some people with emotional maturity.

If the people in charge don't represent you, and you can't get rid of them, do your own thing. I see nothing wrong with this. It's an OSS project, people can do what they want with…

Nah what happened was whack and if they respect themselves or wanted that keynote to mean anything they should have quit. Saying "suck it up" is abusive relationship status...

Yea you're right advertising companies, fintech, healthcare, etc definitely don't need to know if their code works before launching software.

Yea who needs to know if their code actually works anyways? We're looking at you aerospace, automotive, process control, and anyone with a customer SLA. I can see it now "chatgpt, …

Shhh don't blow our big secret. Software developers haven't actually been doing anything for decades! If the C suite finds out they just need to know their business and poof softwa…
