Not entirely sure if I'll stick with it, but I wanted to try out Mastodon after Reddit died and Lemmy slowed down.

Oh fuck no. Logitech, don't give me this bullshit. Get AI out of my mouse!

Hm, you know, there is one thing AI could really help with in mice.

Add an accelerometer to them and have the AI monitor both the accelerometer and the laser thing.

If the laser thing doesn't work for a microsecond due to a defect in the surface, a hair, or a weird angle on the reflection, then the AI would override the issue and the user would get an uninterrupted cursor moving experience.

That's the kind of thing AI would be amazing for.

Oh, one last thing I just thought of. I promise I'll shut up.

I'm listening to the article while looking over the screenshots and stuff. I'm enjoying interacting with the article this way, but I know I might be in the minority.

My only minor gripe is that if I want to stop and really read over something, I have to scroll all the way to the top of the page to pause the audio, then scroll back down to find my place, read, then scroll up again to restart it.

Thank you two, it looks interesting.

Is there an RSS feed or something I can use? I don't have any Apple devices, and my podcast player can't figure out what to do with that link.

My employer is hiring, specifically in the Security division. Security Identity Management is the area, so if you're into and and you're qualified, apply. If not, a few other positions are available, feel free to poke around. Fully remote. I'm not shopping for a referral, I'm shopping for a work colleague, so apply!

@simplenomad

I'm a generalist with two years professional experience, who'd like to specialize into system administration or security.

But, being a jack of all trades, that means I need specific training and experience in those areas, which is hard when so much of the tech sector has been laying off highly trained professionals for a year.

I know it's a long shot, but are there any entry level positions available, which I could apply for?

i keep thinking about the xz situation and if it really was a long-game trust exploit…

…then it really smells to me like a state actor. I’m not saying it’s for sure a state actor but it has to be someone so much more patient than most criminal groups, so…

…that means that somewhere in Russia or China or Iran or North Korea or one of a few other such places there’s a group deep in their version of MI-6 wailing

WE WERE SO CLOSE. WE WERE GO FUCKING CLOSE

and screaming and sobbing and maybe planning a wake because they’d almost pulled off the software intelligence coup of the goddamn century, backdoors into most of the internet…

…until one person obsessed with perf numbers noticed something wrong.

so mad. gotta be. xD

More than likely, if that's the case, then they just have a dozen other attempts in progress now, and this isn't a huge loss.

Not counting undiscovered zero-days and stuff.

As has become more popular, I have tried to help make (s) Flatpak ready.
Interestingly, I keep coming across a general rejection, like "it's not worth the effort", "it's not the future", etc.
I am aware that it has drawbacks. But are you also against it?
Apart from the amount of space it can take up, I have to say that I've never really had any complaints, and I've sort of already accepted it as a kind of convenient, non-system , I guess.

BrilliantIdiot,
@BrilliantIdiot@gaygeek.social avatar

@amadeus

Honestly? I like the idea, and the extra security that comes with it. I dislike that we're basically adding another layer of dependency hell, but I like how much easier it is to run things not made for your distro.

It has issues, but I like Flatpak so far.

I don't know enough about it to say whether the implementation is good or bad.

"How do I walk behind them without looking like I'm trying to be a creep, or I'm following them? I wish they would just hurry up or move out of the way. Do I slow down and put distance between us while walking? No, that would look even more like I'm following them. Do I try to walk past them? No, our speeds aren't that different. It would just be me pushing up against them for seconds. Seconds I say! Better turn around and walk somewhere else to avoid anyone thinking I'm being weird."

One time at Target, some lady walking a little behind me commented on how fast I walked, saying she doesn't meet many other people who walk that quickly since moving to where I lived. We struck a mini alliance to power walk our way to the registers and scatter the slow movers like grain.
