oh ffs, I forgot about this. I was thinking of the other one though from 2021 mentioned in a sibling comment, and it was indeed, again, with cosmos

Is it me or was there a similar vulnerability reported a few years ago? Something about the attacker getting access to all platform's users' databases, though not sure if it was co…

Depends on the software. In this case, the companies that make and provide AI models that are increasingly used to interact with me on critical things (banks, public sector service…

This is not true. I'm a Firefox user and it works perfectly fine in Firefox.

I wanted to draw the distinction between something that destroys lives over a longer period of time (smoking) VS something like gambling where you could lose your life's savings in…

Not the original person you replied to, but as far as I'm concerned there are a few questions that could very easily indicate which side of the line is something. E.g. - Is it addi…

This feels like a good idea in principle, but I can't shake the feeling that it just moves the goalposts one step away: Now your app doesn't have direct access to your stripe/githu…

While I agree in principle, I have to remind you (and to myself) that Australia is part of the Five Eyes: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Five_Eyes

For me it's quite simple: It works and it stays out of my way. I've owned a macbook since 2010, with a short break during the touchbar era when I got myself an XPS with windows whi…

Ah, that's a fair point. In that case then yes, I have been bothered by the borrow checker very much indeed lol.

As someone who's only did a couple of small toy-projects in rust I was never annoyed by the borrow checker. I find it nothing but a small mental shift and I kinda like it. What I _…

Given that a lot of places that deal with money use them, I find your comment quite interesting and would like to learn more :)

The way I solve the plain text problem is through a combination of direnv[1] and pass[2]. For a given project, I have a `./creds` directory which is managed with pass and it contai…

I would be tempted to put it on my CV :D

Well, you can never be sure that he didn't: https://www.fastly.com/blog/summary-of-june-8-outage

I think I agree with what I think you're trying to say. However I don't agree with the repercussions of this, which are the same ones that make all reasonable people, security expe…

So, this is Google Now but instead of one company having access to the data on their systems, now you're giving access to your data from different companies/sources to OpenAI. (I d…

The "major rule" in question is whether you should rest the meat after cooking or not.

Essentials: my own domain for emails, Fastmail, Bitwarden, Google for 100GB of storage. Less essential: Obsidian, Kagi (this one may be bumped to the "essentials" at some point), a…

I want to SaaS-ify my scraping process. It's gotten to a point that it works nice and reliably for me, now I need to wrap it in a good DX package and call it version 0.1. (The main…

Starting a bit of a tangent here I admit, but this makes me much more worried about the future of mobile browsing. Sure, soon enough a decent non-chromium based desktop browser wil…

That sucks. I'm kind in the same boat, but with one additional requirement: It should have an android app that I can install uBlock origin. The few times that I had to browse from …

I have no reason to doubt your explanation and intention, however I think it would have been more efficient if this misunderstanding could be avoided. Maybe something like "This lo…
