What a choice of words… 🤦 Deliberate? “Better”? How about “worse” instead?

https://github.com/chenxiaolong/BasicSync#permissions

ACCESS_WIFI_STATE, ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION, ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION, ACCESS_BACKGROUND_LOCATION, FOREGROUND_SERVICE_LOCATION

Optionally used for stopping Syncthing unless connected to specific Wi-Fi networks.

And location isn’t a permission granted by default on install (unlike Internet access), the user has to approve of it explicitly.

Why?

Google added that it doesn’t believe its own Gemini models were used, but still has “high confidence” an AI model was part of discovering the vulnerability and weaponizing an exploit.

No, really, why? If Google itself or their models didn’t discover the vulnerability, how would they know genAI was used on the discovery of the vulnerability and weaponization (interestingly, not “creation”) of an exploit?

The headline (as in AI replacing jobs) is as real as the CRAP (Computer Rendered Artificial Picture) it uses.

I think it might be very hard for AI-pilled leadership to back off from their claims and AI mandates and it would not help the hype that they might be banking on/profiting from.

Since they’re using (now expensive) genAI and productivity isn’t improving, because it almost never does, rhen they need to do something to appease stakeholders and offset the cost of using genAI, ofc.

That and keeping employee’s perception of power and self worth down, so they keep working their asses off in the hopes of not being the next in line.

they will most likely know how to use it properly and ethically

I’d argue that ethical use is not possible:

• Models are trained on stolen/misappropriated/misused data
• Training involves psychologically harmful work from ghost workers
• Those services runs on infrastructure that no one wants around, and wastefully contributes to climate change/global warming

I have a service that pings the server:

cat <<EOF | sudo tee /etc/systemd/system/ping-smb.service
[Unit]
Description=Blocks until pinging 192.168.1.10 succeeds
After=network-online.target
StartLimitIntervalSec=0

[Service]
Type=oneshot
ExecStart=ping -c1 192.168.1.10
Restart=on-failure
RestartSec=1

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
EOF

sudo systemctl enable ping-smb.service

And then I make the fstab entry depend on it:

x-systemd.requires=ping-smb.service

Did you check the sample video?

It doesn’t look good. And these shorts are probably cherry picked:

With a fine of ~$27 million, I think they’ll just pretend to be working on it, get the “good guys, complying with legislation and opening up the platform”, not do it (or at least, not in any satisfactory way), and pay the fine, if it gets applied.

Oh no!

Do I need to have 12 coasters? Well, no. But I didn’t need the 8 ones I already have either, and Steve keeps pumping out bangers like this, so…

Love how it highlights that big tech (much to capitalism’s fault, TBH) can only drive innovation if the tech has a moat around it, if no one else can, or would, copy it and deploy it at a lower cost.

Which is… the argument that people use to defend capitalism? That capitalism drives innovation and makes it accessible to everyone at the lowest possible price.

I like the frugal tech idea as much as I like degrowth.

Damn stupid me! Once again thought this was #goodnews

Oh, you’re right.

It seems to have been implemented and working on 138, but broken since 140 (my current version), with a fix scheduled to come on 142.

I’m looking forward to that one!

Oh, I meant mutual TLS by “it”. Edited.

That’s no bug, mTLS just isn’t implemented on Firefox (for Android) currently.

There are 2 proposed solutions on that thread:

1. It was possible on old versions of FF, but not the current ones. I believe this to be related to the versions prior to the revamp that happened circa 2020. (the author refers to a version that was already “old” by 2022). So it was something supported on OG Firefox, not not on the new (current, by 5 years already) version.
2. Using the debug menu’s secret settings to enable “Use third party CA certificates”. This is available on current FF, but that’s no mutual TLS. It is about allowing CA certificates that you installed yourself on your device for server TLS auth.

Tried it and it was a breeze to set it up with Caddy!

Problem was… lack of client side support, specially on mobile.

Many (most?) client apps don’t support it.

Use the PWA from your browser, you said? I hope you like Google and using Chrome, because Firefox for Android doesn’t support it (mTLS) 😭 (for now, see replies)

Probably yes.

And probably due to EU mandating new phones to be supported for longer.
