There’s no karma here, you fool

“what if i told you” Morpheus meme

there is. it isn’t shown in lemmy-ui but some other frontends expose it.

one place you can see yours is here (though it only includes the subset of your posts which have federated to that instance)

there is /c/weiqi@lemmy.ml (no posts this year) and /c/baduk@lemmy.ml (many posts this year but none in the last 3 months)

I highly doubt that the proponents of UBI want to eliminate all safety net programs.

Have you looked into any of the actual concrete proposals, though? Have you seen any that don’t include things like this?

(That is from a 2016 book by this guy, who happens to also be a proponent of scientific racism, being taken seriously in this 2018 report from the Congressional Research Service.)

You can redirect curl’s output to a file with the -o filename option (or with > filename for shell redirection). But in the case of sites like this which output ansi-escape-formatted data that isn’t very useful.

Also, after saving unknown data to a file it’s common to look at it with less or perhaps xxd or strings or file … all of which have had their own CVEs in recent years 🤦

Computer security is a fractal of bad news.

This post The Terminal Escapes: Engineering unexpected execution from command line interfaces has a summary of the longer paper in the first link.

tldr: There are a variety of ways that attackers can cause you to execute execute arbitrary code when you echo their maliciously-crafted data to your terminal. Therefore, when you run curl without redirecting its output, or when you cat a file you’ve downloaded, you’re trusting the server (and also the network, when you don’t have https:// in the url) not to exploit you.

oh cool, if Edward Snowden did it I guess software freedom isn’t important anymore 🙄

But seriously, did he? which one? I’m not familiar with that.

But even if he did release something under one, I would be extremely surprised if he called a non-free license “open source” as FUTO is doing here.

Please see my comments in this thread explaining why that is not a reasonable position, and what they should do instead (tldr: use trademark law).

GrayJay looks really cool except for that it is not open source. It is unfortunate that Louis is saying it is. In case anyone reading this has a way to reach him, please send him these two links:

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open-source_software#Defini…

opensource.org/authority/

I watched his video and I totally understand his motivations. imo he should strongly enforce the trademark to prevent any builds he doesn’t approve of from being called GrayJay, but he should use an actual open source license which allows redistribution (albeit only under a different name, if he doesn’t approve).

If he remains determined to use a non-open-source license, he should acknowledge that that is what it is and stop claiming that it is open source.

Seemed unlikely, and after a moment on wikipedia I learned e.K. is the german equivalent of a sole proprietorship which doesn’t mean they don’t employ other people. Also, they’re hiring.

That code was state of the art (for free software) when the author first published it with his master’s thesis four years ago, but it hasn’t improved a lot since then and I wouldn’t recommend it today. See the https://github.com/CorentinJ/Real-Time-Voice-Cloning#heads-up. Coqui (a free software Mozilla spinoff) is better but also is sadly still nowhere near as convincing as the proprietary stuff.

What stops them from being able to? They could actually infer a lot of the metadata just from the encrypted network traffic, without even looking inside the VMs at their execution state. But, they can also see inside, so they can keep the kind of logs (outside the VM) which Signal [says that they] wouldn’t.

not that it matters (see my other comment in this thread), but, citation needed? wikipedia says it is maybe in Dubai.

hard no.

but, how are people making actual bets with criteria like “as long as it’s pretty good” without any defined arbiter?

it seems like resolving that will require arguing with people who will say that attributes like coherency and continuity are not required for a movie to be “high-quality” and “pretty good”… which, actually, sure, human-made films can sometimes be good while lacking in those departments.

but, the ones made fully automatically in 5 years certainly won’t be :)
