@tess I came up with a neat theory, but then I disproved it with this experiment should totally be publishable!
It’s like two papers in one! I came up with a theory that fires all these things. I disproved that theory.

Scoop: I obtained the contract Samsung requires independent shops to sign to buy phone repair parts from them.

It requires:

  • "Daily" dumps of customer data
  • The "immediate destruction" of any phones a shop comes across that has third-party parts

When pondering whether we should start linking to some external library in systemd, I usually spend some time looking at the library's sources, to understand the quality of the code. While coding style differences are fine, there are certain red flags that make libraries unsuitable for use in systemd, or that indicate questionable quality of the code.

Red flags like this are for example absence of OOM guards on malloc(), absence of reasonable error propagation,

@jamesh Ah, so they wrapped the order-dependence into a reference-counted Singleton. We should do that instead of whatever we're doing.

@jamesh wait, what? I thought order was "implementation-defined" and not reliable, as in you're fucked if you have order-dependence in your globals.
I am aware of a persistent issue that we expect is due to order-dependence in globals, so if there's a way to fix it, I would love to know it.

This voxel displacement technique for "modern retro" rendering looks so incredible, really inspiring:

@daviwil I wonder how easily one could patch that into gzDoom, for instance. There are numerous retro games with either open-source ports or original source out there.
No, I want to see Descent 1 and 2 with this applied.

Since we’re all onboard with telling off Linux evangelists in this moment, Linux has privacy issues too! If your screen goes to sleep, when you come back you’re greeted by your screen contents - not the Lock Screen for a solid two seconds or so (at least in GNOME Shell, the default desktop environment for many distros).

@visone and GNOME is a Linux desktop environment. It’s the default on the most widespread workstation and desktop distributions.
But, fine, Linux doesn’t actually do SecureBoot attestation. The other major OSes do. (Yes, you can load a machine-owner key and do it yourself, but that surely doesn’t count as the OS providing it or supporting it)

Apple apologizes for iPad ad

“Creativity is in our DNA at Apple, and it’s incredibly important to us to design products that empower creatives all over the world,” said Tor Myhren, the company’s VP of marketing communications. “Our goal is to always celebrate the myriad of ways users express themselves and bring their ideas to life through iPad. We missed the mark with this video, and we’re sorry.”

Interestingly, Google used the same language to conclude its apology for its generative AI’s historical depictions of race. It explained its intention with flowery language and then said “But it’s missing the mark here”.

I wonder if we’ll be seeing more of this type of response to corporate tone-deafness (a generous term) going forward. Big “I’m sorry you feel that way (but this isn’t indicative of any problems with me)” vibes.

c0dec0dec0de,

@Seirdy Right on the mark here: “It reads like an apology to investors for making people unhappy, not an apology to the people who got angry.”

omg, I love when an idea turns out just as expected. Say hi to my new audio-monitor stands :3

Photo of the monitor with 3D printed legs and a wooden sheet on top. An oscilloscope rests on the board. A pink flag enters the frame from above, everything sits on a white table
Profile view of the earlier assembly. One can clearly make out the symmetrical legs and the wooden board being in parallel with the table. Inbetween the slanted monitor rests
Wide angle view of my desk with two monitors, the left one hosts the oscilloscope, while the right one hosts a computer monitor. Inbetween a laptop and a keyboard are visible
