Hey I just came up with this idea, I'm going to feed copyrighted books into my LLM that remembers them verbatim, and then people pay me to ask the LLM for complete copies of a book…

A real estate photographer described the typical job as taking 15 photos of the same living room while moving a softbox around and then merging the layers in Photoshop. No Photosho…

SECCOMP_RET_USER_NOTIF appears to switch between the tracee and tracer processes for each syscall. Using SECCOMP_RET_TRAP to trigger a SIGSYS for every syscall in IO intensive apps…

Online stores don't remove 1-star reviews of their products from their store. Do they ?

I hope Photoshop runs in the Linux VM introduced with Android 16, so I can stop carrying a laptop to edit photos and bring just a 0.5kg monitor instead.

It's not sweets and it's not an addiction, not everything on TV is for mindless consumption. The viewer is not who's at fault here. The right mindset is not "accept their terms or …

You can get banned from TikTok ? That's horrible, how ? Can you provide detailed instructions please?

Are there any bugs that an app can carry over just due to being compiled with old glibc headers for compatibility with older distros ?
