They say that, but I can almost guarantee you the feds get direct access without asking and keep it a secret, because that’s how tech companies do things in general. Flock cameras/data is openly used to provide a combined search of all cameras, this partnership implies Ring is going to go further in that direction too.
There should be some kind of automated certification for git repos, where if the described install process does not complete on a default install of the most popular OS, the software gets a big red “does not work” label.
the bigger issue is that it’s being used in a GPL3 project which kind of isn’t allowed
I followed the links and I think the original argument being referenced has been twisted around a bit game-of-telephone style, GPL prohibiting inclusion of LLM generated code isn’t what it’s claiming, it’s more that they think AI trained on GPL code violates it when it happens to reproduce it exactly:
it is readily apparent that GitHub Copilot is capable of returning, verbatim, already extant code (although it does attempt to synthesise novel code based on its training data). This immediately raises the issue, what happens when that code (such as the previous example) is licensed under a copyleft license such as the GPL or AGPL? How is the matter of copyright in this instance resolved?

It might also be the case that the GPL prohibits LLM generated code somehow, I don’t actually know, just want to point out that no one has made an argument for that.
The site lets visitors compile a mass email warning about the bill and send it to national government officials, members of the European Parliament and others with ease
Why are they talking about this as if it’s a strange thing to happen and disruptive? I’ve seen lots of websites about a political issue that help people send emails to their representatives, isn’t that just a normal part of democracy?
Github is a way of quickly getting some indication that software is legit before you install it, because you can see at a glance various ways others have interacted with it, and potentially look into things further. If it’s on Github the code is probably at least published, which is another sign of not being sketchy, so it’s a good thing to be able to append to a web search. I also like that it’s easier to find info about how to install software from Github than from some self published website for that particular software, because the information is generally going to be in the same place and use the same conventions every time.
If you’re only writing code for yourself, Git by itself would be fine, but there’s definitely a need for something that is basically a sort of social media for software.

This was what should have been a private conversation though, not public.
That they are trying to disarm their political adversaries seems like evidence. Afaik the situation so far is, the people they are detaining can mostly expect to survive. If it progresses beyond that, that’s when vulnerable groups still having guns gets more relevant, because the likelihood of a shootout is going to affect the scalability of mass arrests, or of the viability of extrajudicial killings by groups the government refuses to police.
It would maybe be safer on a custom OS because less malware would target it, but exploits can still exist, at this point I’d say you also should really be using a dedicated device for crypto wallet stuff if you have more than small amounts, whether that’s a purpose built hardware wallet, an old phone you reset and have only the wallet app on, etc.
That’s just the remote control part.
promises of a free TradingView Premium app for Android. Instead of delivering legitimate software, the ads drop a highly advanced crypto-stealing trojan — an evolved version of the Brokewell malware.
From another source, that works in part by exploiting “accessibility service permissions”:
Like other recent Android malware families of its kind, Brokewell is capable of getting around restrictions imposed by Google that prevent sideloaded apps from requesting accessibility service permissions.

This includes displaying overlay screens on top of targeted apps to pilfer user credentials. It can also steal cookies by launching a WebView and loading the legitimate website, after which the session cookies are intercepted and transmitted to an actor-controlled server.
Cool style of tutorial where it points out places it’s necessary to do something different from the readme instructions
That’s honestly fucked up and bizarre, why would they even do that? I can’t imagine it saves them any resources or bandwidth, and it doesn’t make sense that people would be more interested in watching videos with weird AI glitches the video creators didn’t intend.
This is about taxes funding the FAA, and the implied conclusion of the video isn’t that these taxes should be removed, but that they should be weighted more heavily towards private flights for the sake of fairness.
I am skeptical that most people saying this type of shit really have no concept of the US having freedom of religion and separation of church and state as founding values. They just believe in the rightness of propaganda and catchy ideological phrases above actual truth and reality, because they’ve been conditioned to think that way.
Yeah, I estimated the number of websites on that list and it’s around 100k
There was pushshift, but it’s locked down since the API thing, there’s pullpush.io, but that seems down atm. Also there is reveddit. I think most or all of these do not store content that has been deleted by the user though.
Any ideas for that? My main thought is to further develop technology for the anonymous web and get people using it, although probably some form of overtly political activism is also needed
If these types of laws keep coming there might be a lot of legal liability for running instances of things
It sounds like what they want to do is write an essay from extensive personal experience (presumably the topic of the essay is being critical of the education system), but since that isn’t accepted they have to find articles about the same topic. IMO there is nothing wrong with writing an essay based on personal experience.
Should have said ok and then destroyed it once it’s legally your posession
