mitxela··on CVE-2025-13032: Entering and Breaking the Avast Antivirus Sandbox Part 2
Processes are already hardware paravirtualization, and some early implementations even called them VMs. However, https://xkcd.com/2044/ is inescapable.

What do you think "mostly" could mean?

Codeberg's AI position was about resource waste. Single-user AI projects were spamming their CI/CD as if they were KDE or the kernel.

They don't care if someone wastes their own resources.

Given that we know he's literally a fascist (it's in all his political posts) that jives. "Embrace what we want or get mercilessly crushed" is a very fascist position.

I think most house buyers are buying it for resale value.

In a class action they give $1 to every user they scammed $20 out of, and the lawyers charge $2 per user so you actually get nothing.

A third party supplies their electricity too.

In the future, consider reading a policy before complaining about it.

But they don't want to. They want to provide all needs for approved projects. They want that if a FOSS project legitimately releases 50 times a day, they want to make it work. If a slop project is wasting those resources that could be used for KDE, on nonsense, then they don't.

They're not a free for all, they do KYCP (know your customer's projects) with an initial assumption of good faith.

Also they're a voluntary society you can join by contributing money. They're not a charity as such, more like a group of people pooling resources, and also offering them to people outside the group on a good faith basis.

Did you read the actual policy? It isn't extreme in the slightest.

If you want to follow some CP poster on nadeko.pw then you can ask your admin on tsundere.love to unblock it and he will probably just ban you for admitting you like CP.

Where did we get this idea that federated instances should never block anything? Even warez sites have rules.

We can insist everyone self-hosts everything, but is it worth it? Do you have your own email? It's quite normal for a government agency to contract a third party to supply e.g. furniture, instead of chopping its own wood.

Codeberg does not forbid AI-generated code. It forbids AI-generated projects. You would know this if you read the policy.

I can confirm this clause prevented enshittification for EU customers at a former employer. The rest of the world still got it.

As Gamer's Nexus said, if you're drunk you can't consent to any contract.

I expect this is already covered by existing regulations but the only enforcement avenue is a lawsuit. They know you won't sue them for $20.

I don't think it's easy to become a politician. Only a certain number of slots are available.

You're calling the stock market a Ponzi scheme?

Oracle's business model is to get government contracts. It's a whole special business model unrelated to software.

AI in 2026 is whatever AI there is in 2026. You can't say it's only a half.

I didn't. People who think they're learning from YouTube are mostly not learning, just thinking they did. I watched someone design a common-base amplifier. Can I design a common-base amplifier now? No, I can't. I now have a slight awareness of what one does, but I couldn't design it.
