The "Recall can't record DRMed video content" thing is because DRMed video content is entirely invisible to the OS. The OS passes the encrypted content to your GPU and tells it where to draw it, and the GPU decrypts it and displays it there. It's not a policy decision on the Recall side, it's just how computers work.

@mjg59 @mcc i know this very well but at the same time: why should i care?

> It doesn't matter if I make a dozen "how to disable recall" tutorials. The second YOUR data shows up on someone ELSE'S screen, it's in THEIR recall database.

this has nothing to do with microsoft recall! anybody you send stuff to can have it compromised. you message your high school friend, she gets caught at a protest, now cops have all that data

you can never control the data you give to somebody else, recall or not

@whitequark@mastodon.social avatar

i get that recall is a wake-up call for many people about this, but please use your reasoning abilities?

half the queer people you talk to might have a secret receipts folder they put dirt on you in so they can complain about you later

this should be a part of your threat model already

@dequbed i didn't say "friends" <.<

@whitequark@mastodon.social avatar

@dequbed

  • i don't know who might be doing that or not
  • i know some are doing it
  • therefore i must assume everyone does, and anything i say may be used against me later

this isn't normal?

whitequark,
@whitequark@mastodon.social avatar

@dequbed ... well, I guess I'll try to convince my stalkers of that

whitequark,

@dequbed thanks >.>

it's a little stressful

whitequark,
@whitequark@mastodon.social avatar

this is a reasonable point https://mastodon.social/@Gaelan@cathode.church/112558808313017574

I also guess I'm a little too used to being in awful situations in general

whitequark,
@whitequark@mastodon.social avatar

@MarkAssPandi yeah I guess my point was that the degree of worsening is barely if at all noticeable for me, but a few others have pointed out that for an average person it is noticeable

@unlambda ... but nosy partners installing malware is already a part of my threat model?

(i've had several people tell me that they installed malware on the computers of their parents/enemies/exes/etc. in most of the cases this instantly identified them as awful beings, but that still only underlines the need to have it in my threat model)

GtkWave feels in a whole bunch of ways like a fossil of some earlier era of UI design, which partially means a bunch of minor frustrations but on the bright side means every time I boot it I get to look at this intro box

honest opinion: people that need constant-time code should not be using a general-purpose programming language. emit assembly or write your own DSL https://fosstodon.org/@simo5/112554241913244159

@azonenberg since you're using it for flash: nah it's fine. violence is the only way it knows to communicate with, and you are shielding yourself from it

entirely reasonable

whitequark,
@whitequark@mastodon.social avatar

@azonenberg but a data trap caused by a peripheral isn't necessarily a memory safety violation? it's just a spicy interrupt imo

whitequark,
@whitequark@mastodon.social avatar

@azonenberg (this is subjective and i think reasonable people can disagree; this is just my view)

whitequark,
@whitequark@mastodon.social avatar

@azonenberg yeah I think this is a spicy interrupt and you're doing something completely reasonable

https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/net/struct.TcpStream.html#method.linger SO_LINGER "is a nightly-only experimental API"

Python has a better standard library if you want to write real backends (microbenchmarking on localhost is a different story).

whitequark,
@whitequark@mastodon.social avatar

@pkhuong there is an open API design question, this is reasonable

Python does not provide anywhere near the same stability guarantee

I don’t get it. https://github.com/actions/create-release

why would they archive this. they provide an actions platform, they provide the API, why aren’t they maintaining official ways to interact with it.

just discovered this is archived and like, ok sure let me use a community action instead.

I’m sure I can trust community members with privileged API access. That’s definitely not a case where I’d really want an official, approved action where I can feel comfortable handing it a token with write access. Definitely /s.

whitequark,

@hexylena I think there's an alternative way to do it, remind me when im on the PC
