All the fixes he's proposing to add to Appimages were solved by Flatpaks and Snaps. Of course he dismissed both options while giving flimsy non-concrete reasons.

Reads like a boomer rant from the greybeard who is resistant to adopting new technologies while complaining about how things were easier back in the day.

The humans consuming AI video/image content and can't help themselves sharing this garbage are simply bots. No better way to describe them. That's going to be the new captcha test for me.

I was a bit cautious of Photoshop adding watermarks into pictures generated by their software but I think it's time LLMs implement this feature. It will be the only way to filter and clean the spam from your feed.

The readme has this note.

> Stability rustic currently is in beta state and misses regression tests. It is not recommended to use it for production backups, yet.

If the whole world has bandwidth available for TikTok, it can make the same available for sharing torrent files.

Turns out the climate goals were another scheme run by a select few to superimpose a certain set of "values" on humanity. Bill Gates can excuse AI for it of course because they own the agenda.

Advertising and a free & open internet are antithetical. Look at how much social media, YouTube, ADL etc. are all collaborating on how to curtail free speech because of and on behalf of advertisers.

Looking to the day we can finally say goodbye to Google's SafetyNet.

How was admitting this supposed to help you in an interview? Anyway you won't learn anything if you don't review and go deeper into the code you've written with ChatGPT.

This is the killer app for gen AI. Everything else said about AI e.g replacing workers is just building castles in the air.

Open source fixes this problem. This is basically Llama's moat.

With an ETF you don't have to do any of this work. And generally, the market tends to go up not down. For most stocks. Even the ones you think are no good.

You are not going to make much shorting in general unless you have a nose for identifying the next Theranos et al.

I fully agree with Gorhill's decision to pull the addon. Any downgrade of user experience on Firefox is solely due to their addons review team.

Maybe if more developers refuse to put up with such bullshit in the name of gatekeeping the extensions store, browser vendors will start acting properly.

> A rolling release just means that there are no major version bumps that require an active opt-in when upgrading.

Indeed. However IMO this definition is not complete without taking into account the matching status of upstream software versions available and package versions made available by the distro at any given point in time. This is the continuous delivery expected and what gives a distro rolling status among its peers.

If you want one just for torrenting alone, cloudflare warp should suffice. They don't block BitTorrent traffic.

Fedora isn't a rolling distro the way Arch is. And even Arch while popularly known as a rolling release distro doesn't entirely live up to this ethos. Python 3.12 & Gnome release delays just to give an example.

Fedora has something that resembles Arch as a rolling distro. Their unstable branch for development which they call Fedora Rawhide.

That said you wouldn't be wrong to call Arch a rolling release distro because it is one for the most part.

For perspective, xAI raised an almost similar amount at a pre-money valuation of $18B. https://xcancel.com/elonmusk/status/1794975702812426595

Docker is just like Debian in this instance. It would give you a base system from where you create the package using the same exact steps.

> thousands of AWS/GCP/Azure/iCloud security engineers are all doing a more thorough job than you

All these cloud services are just attack surfaces with a huge target on their backs. And the security engineers slip up too [0], in the case of Microsoft it's become more of a meme now. The North Korean hackers basically own them.

Stallman-approved pages will happily welcome any and all users visiting your site. Modern SPAs maybe not so much due to the overengineering and mostly unnecessary features.

Have no problem using just this flag --enable-features=VaapiVideoDecodeLinuxGL on a laptop with HD Graphics 500. And I even think that flag is passed by default now.

Key thing is to make sure you are playing back supported codecs when checking for hw decode. E.g YouTube randomly forces av1 on clients and some older hardware don't support hw decode for it.

Also some distros like Fedora and OpenSUSE ship with partial codec support in their installation media.

An easy way to make sure you have all the right drivers in place is to test this in one of the Chromium flatpaks.

Though I have to state hardware video playback is not yet officially supported and it has broken a lot over the past due to this fact and the quality of the different GPU drivers in question here. The Chromium devs don't explicitly block vaapi on Intel hardware.

Chromium doesn't document this but they support hardware video decode on Linux. Works best on Intel iGPU. AMD needed some patches to get it working using Vulkan IIRC and Nvidia is Nvidia.

Basically treats his own employees like his subscribers. "Stay tuned for the $1000 giveaway!". Have you never watched any of Mr Beast's videos?

The fact that you made it to his company is enough incentive for you to go through the onboarding document.

Doesn't matter now. CRWD didn't go to zero. Meaning they get the chance to do this again.

> It runs as root

A lot of system applications on a standard Linux machine run as root or run with rootful permissions. This problem is solved by sandboxing, confining permissions and further hardening.

> requires sudo to use

Yes. However, this is a security plus and not a disadvantage.

> turns off all system firewalls

This statement makes no sense.

> has no way of doing security updates for containers.

I don't know what you mean by this.

Insecure in what way? Rootful docker is a mature product that comes with seccomp and standard apparmor policies ootb!

What does Google get out of this?

Defaults like these user:password

While somewhat true, doesn't mean the same mistake has to be repeated to get progress on AI.

You are conflating editorial rights with some form of free speech.

Free speech doesn't require a platform to work nor any intermediary. It is a boundless idea.

If the data that the French government wanted was in plaintext they wouldn't need to use the $5 wrench. Also not sure why E2EE is the answer here, governments can pass laws as we have seen with the UK to water the encryption down.
