rinze, to enshittification in Slack by default using messages, files etc for building and training LLM models
@rinze@infosec.pub avatar

We started using Teams a few years ago. You can feel gigabytes of Javascript running on the background just by going from one channel to another. Terrific job.

Just subscribed, thanks a lot.

rinze, to buttcoin in the return of our messiah Roaring Kitty

Matt Levine has an amazing newsletter about this today. Relevant excerpt:

In the hypothetical trade in Question 7, would the US Securities and Exchange Commission have a case against him for market manipulation? In your answer, make reference to (1) the fact that the tweet doesn’t mention GameStop at all, (2) the recent decision by a federal judge in Texas that actually pump and dumps are legal and (3) the 2023 decision by a federal judge in Washington, DC, that the moon emoji is securities fraud.

We live in a crazy world.

Disclaimer: I hold 4 GME shares because… well, I just wanted to have a bit of fun.

rinze, to europe in European Police Chiefs call for industry and governments to take action against end-to-end encryption roll-out

The only question here is: why do European police chiefs want to help Russia and China intercept our communications?

rinze, to technology in Enshittification Continues: Discord to begin showing advertisements on it's free platform
@rinze@infosec.pub avatar

You’re right, I completely misinterpreted the comment. The thing is that “voice” is a very specific term within IRC, and I got confused :D

@rinze@infosec.pub avatar

If you mean that in some channels only some people can actually “talk”, I think it depends on the configuration of the channel, but it’s a possibility.

I thought people used Discord because you could have video / audio chats (not sure about this, I’ve used it very sparsely.)

And then there are Open Source projects that use Discord as the documentation repository. Hell is a place on the Internet, apparently.

IRC still rules. No ads in my irssi.

rinze, to europe in Angry stickers telling tourists to ‘go home’ appear on buildings in Malaga
@rinze@infosec.pub avatar

The situation in Malaga is going to be a shitshow pretty soon. There’s basically no water there anymore. This summer, hotels will be able to fill their swimming pools, but residential buildings will be banned from doing so. There are talks of bringing water in boats from Murcia. People that got rich planting avocados and mangos saw their crops fall 85 % last year. And of course there are already water consumption restrictions, with water flows restricted at night.

But at the same time there are talks of beating all previous tourism records. This is insanity.

rinze, to technology in Outlook (new)
@rinze@infosec.pub avatar

Damn, I was used to work around shitty stuff on Teams. Are you telling me they’re going to push another, different set of bugs on me now?

rinze, to technology in Reddit gets ready for IPO, setting a top valuation of $6.4 billion
@rinze@infosec.pub avatar

What has been your involvement with Reddit as a user so far? I’m trying to understand what users are getting those offers.

rinze, to europe in EU aims shift to European arms industry to ‘war economy mode’
@rinze@infosec.pub avatar

I was listening to a podcast the other day (could have been “Rachman review”, which is typically very good) and the interviewee said that yes, there might be interest in this, but companies want to see long-term orders before committing. There’s currently no capacity, so they have to build it on their side, but they don’t want to do it if they think the orders are going to dry in a few months / years.

rinze, to piracy in sci-hub - any recent sightings?
@rinze@infosec.pub avatar

Some people have already commented how to find it.

However, on a tangential note: last I heard, they stopped adding new papers due to a trial in India, but I never found out the outcome of that. Anyone has news about this, or did I dream it?

rinze, to techtakes in Matt Mullenweg's face-heel turn completes: Wordpress and Tumblr text corpuses to be sold for LLM training
@rinze@infosec.pub avatar

We can’t have nice things.

The full text describes clusterfuck after clusterfuck. It’s worth registering (it’s free to read) even just for this one.

rinze, to privacy in How Google helped destroy adoption of RSS feeds
@rinze@infosec.pub avatar

Also, some (most?) RSS readers don’t need the path to the feed directly. You give them the regular URL and they’ll figure it out. TinyTinyRSS does it.

rinze, to books in What are you reading??
@rinze@infosec.pub avatar

Gnomon. A massive disappointment.
