A race to the bottom for generative AI. Just as predicted. DISGUSTING.

OpenAI considers allowing users to create AI-generated pornography, slurs, extreme gore, and unsolicited profanity.

@lauren DISGUSTING and total ! Adults (mostly female and other victims) will have endless nightmares dealing with these AI-generated porn. And underage people will face much worse! The resulting cluster beep is perfectly and easily predictable and I don''t know how any of them can sleep at night?

Second Boeing whistleblower dead: Joshua Dean, 45, of Wichita, Kansas, died Tuesday after he received multiple diagnoses that included the flu, pneumonia and MRSA, prompting his family to seek an autopsy, attorney Robert Turkewitz said. "He was a healthy individual who ate well and exercised," Turkewitz told NBC News.

NEW: Masked Israel Supporters Attack UCLA’s Palestine Solidarity Encampment with Weapons

For 5+ hours last night in Los Angeles, pro-Israel Zionist agitators violently beat, pepper sprayed & threw fireworks at hundreds of college students & protesters as they held UCLA’s Palestine solidarity encampment while security & police stood by idly.

Students repelled the continuous onslaught as they defiantly chanted “we’re not leaving” & “Free Palestine.”

jp_dutch,

@NOSRSS Een vreedzaam pro-Palestina protest van ongewapende studenten wordt aangevallen door een o.a. met stokken bewapende pro-Israël knokploeg & jullie berichtgeving laat het bij “het gaat er stevig aan toe”. #WTF?

Every few years I give #Python a try and each time I'm scared away in pain because the community still has not solved the simple task of locally installing dependencies.

Today only using the option --break-system-packages worked after failing attempts with pip, pipx, pyenv, venv, conda, poetry, and maybe more. #wtf

Android 14 has sadly changed that a notification can't be set as non-dismissable:

Changes the way users experience non-dismissable notifications by allowing users to dismiss notifications action even when the Notification.FLAG_ONGOING_EVENT flag is set.
This does not apply when the phone is locked, or if the user selects Clear all.

Another restriction I don't understand from Google :-(

Today was a bad day for Linux Gaming, at least for me.

  1. I wanted to play DCS: World with head teacking like always
  2. My system stopped recognising my Oculus Rift CV1 sensors, throwing all sorts of USB errors in dmesg
  3. I switched to the linux-lts kernel, which caused even more problems with the GPU. The graphical environment never showed up.
  4. Back on the regular linux kernel, I settled for a phone strapped to my head for head tracking.
  5. After two hours of gameplay, KWin crashed and failed to restore my open applications including the game.

I'm done for tonight. 😩

OMFG. You won't believe this.

So, I was diagnosing a weird webcam issue for days and days. I've been using a Oculus Rift Sensor for head tracking for a while now and it suddenly stopped working. It's basically just a USB webcam. I tried several different kernel versions and even some from last year with no luck. I dug into the code of the uvcvideo driver, I tried setting quirks, nothing helped. I was obsessed with this issue.

Long story short: I disconnected my computer's front panel and everything worked.

The front panel must be faulty which must've tripped the USB controller in such a particular way that it kept working fine but was unable to recognise newly plugged devices and sent garbage to the kernel.

What the actual heck. USB is so weird. Do you have any USB stories like this?
