This is not a federated bandcamp, it's a platform for bands to do marketing across mutliple various social networks from one web portal.

No, "we" don't.

The translation feature is based on the Bergamot project to provide users with a privacy-aware translation engine where the translation is done locally using machine learning, it’s never sent to a third party, and it’s optimized for consumer hardware.

Neat!

a really odd way of using Git

Git was literally designed for kernel development.

A common allele of HLA is associated with asymptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infection

We observed that individuals carrying this common allele (approximately 10% in individuals with European ancestry) are more than twice as likely to remain asymptomatic after SARS-CoV-2 infection compared with those who do not, and a notable effect of HLA-B*15:01 homozygosity increasing the chance of remaining asymptomatic by more than eight times.

Together, our results strongly support the hypothesis that HLA-B*15:01 mediates asymptomatic COVID-19 disease through pre-existing T cell immunity due to previous exposure to HKU1-CoV and OC43-CoV.

A Starfield player has credited the sci-fi game with saving their life after they stayed up late to play it and was awake when their apartment complex caught fire.

u/Tidyckilla took to Starfield's subreddit over the weekend to report their amazing escape, saying that if they hadn't been awake "bingeing" the game when the fire broke out, the player and their wife would likely have "died to smoke inhalation".

I lost my earbuds in a remote town in Chile, so tried buying a new pair at the airport before flying out.

True Apple lightning devices are more expensive to make.

...

I wish @Apple would devote an employee or two to cracking down on such a technological, psychological abomination as this.

He wants to take away a budget option from developing countries where people can't afford the expensive version of the proprietary technology, and he wants Apple to be the one to do it?

Fuck this guy.

ITT: Rust programmers rewriting the joke in Rust.

Google *had good search. It's been dogshit for some time now though.

XMPP did not exist on its own outside of nerd circles, while ActivityPub enjoys the support and brand recognition of Mastodon.

Jabber was widely used in the early 2000s and not just among "nerds." But Rochko would have only been 7+ years old at the time so how would he know that.

The "brand recognition of Mastodon" part makes me think this has to be a joke... right?

The article mentions how to check for infection:

If you have installed the Linux version of the Free Download Manager between 2020 and 2022, you should check and see if the malicious version was installed.

To do this, look for the following files dropped by the malware, and if found, delete them:

/etc/cron.d/collect
/var/tmp/crond
/var/tmp/bs

Still trying to figure out this Lemmy ordeal

Consider changing your post title to a relevant summary of your question if you want people to actually read your post and answer it.

Here is the actual article title:

CIQ, Oracle and SUSE Create Open Enterprise Linux Association for a Collaborative and Open Future

• New trade association brings together open source Enterprise Linux community
• It will provide an open process to access source code that organizations can use to build distributions compatible with RHEL

What bust? What do you think cloud providers are using for long term storage? SSDs in datacentres are for databases and hot data-sets. Anything that is written for archival purposes or only read infrequently goes to HDDs.

HDDs are still the most cost-effective way of storing data and probably still will be for some time yet.

I've been using Firefox since the beginning, before that Mozilla, and before that Netscape Navigator.

But I think it's finally time to switch to Librewolf.

I don't want digital advertising of any kind, even if my privacy is "preserved" through fancy data-laundering.

7-zip supports just about every archive type (including rar files) and it's Free Open Source Software.

KSMBD is also important in that placing such core server functionality right inside the kernel represents a significant potential attack surface for crackers. As one comment on Hacker News said "Unless this is formally proven or rewritten in a safer language, you'll have to pay me in solid gold to use such a CVE factory waiting to happen."

Words to live by.

I started the video thinking "huh, that's neat I guess" and then I was more and more impressed as the video went on. This would be pretty revolutionary in how it could change your workflow. It's the kind of feature that would get me to switch from Gnome to KDE if it was only supported fully in the latter.

... based on Debian, yes.

Yes, it all started with a gorilla named "Harambe"...

Go on then, LTT. Delete your youtube account.

These are not Drew's words, he is quoting something said by the project dev. The context that the previous commenter ommitted is:

Following my email conversation with Vaxry, he appeared on a podcast to discuss toxicity in the Hyprland community. This quote from the interview clearly illustrates the attitude of the leadership:

[A trans person] joined the Discord server and made a big deal out of their pronouns [..] because they put their pronouns in their nickname and made a big deal out of them because people were referring to them as “he” [misgendering them], which, on the Internet, let’s be real, is the default. And so, one of the moderators changed the pronouns in their nickname to “who/cares”. […] Let’s be real, this isn’t like, calling someone the N-word or something.

Summary:

The European Union and the US have settled on a new transatlantic data-sharing pact.

The decision comes three years after the EU’s top court struck down the Privacy Shield, a protocol that let companies based in the US collect and process data from EU citizens. At the time, the court said the Privacy Shield didn’t do enough to keep users’ data out of the hands of US intelligence agencies.

The new EU-US Data Privacy Framework should protect companies from facing similar penalties so long as they commit to it. In addition to limiting the amount of overseas data that US intelligence can gain access to, the new framework establishes a Data Protection Review Court (DPRC) that can “independently investigate and resolve complaints” as well as order the deletion of data.

Going forward, it’s not clear whether this policy will stand up to the EU’s court, as two previous attempts to establish a new framework were thrown out by judges.

An open source project backed by a corporation that sells support. And… the open source community almost instantly turns on that and decides they are evil

Redhat was the golden child of the open source community, the paragon of open source success stories, until fairly recently.

Canonical was also very highly respected until they started putting Amazon ads into people's menus.

It is not something that happens instantly for no reason, it's because of the need for these companies to squeeze every last drop of revenue out of a product to appease shareholders. Open source companies can, and do, thrive without screwing their communities over. The problem is the mindset that creating value for shareholders is the only thing that matters.

What a shit website. Instant popup requiring you to consent to ads or buy a subscription, and the consent options don't allow removal of consent for ads and tracking. This is a GDPR violation.

That's not how these LLMs work. There is a training phase which takes a large amount of compute power, and the training generates a model which is a set of weights and could easily be backed up and version-controlled. The model is then used for inference which is a less compute-intensive process and runs on much smaller hardware than the training phase.

The inference architecture does use feedback mechanisms but the feedback does not modify the model-weights that were generated at training time.

Couldn't they just release green version and yellow version when they reach the first threshold, ad infinitum?

It might be net energy gain when considering just the energy needed to sustain the reaction, but I doubt it accounts for the energy needed to power and cool all of the infrastructure that makes that reaction possible. They never mention that part.

In December, Lawrence Livermore first achieved a net energy gain in a fusion experiment using lasers. That experiment briefly achieved what’s known as fusion ignition by generating 3.15 megajoules of energy output after the laser delivered 2.05 megajoules to the target

The laser energy is not the only energy input (or even the largest part) required to run these experiments.

Here is a good (2 year old) video on this topic: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LJ4W1g-6JiY

This is great! Some feedback on UI:

• The first thing I did was click ⇩ on a post and it prompted me to log-in. This is confusing because I thought I could train the recommender without having to log-in. It took me a minute to find the "Like/Dislike" buttons because they require an extra click to open the post menu. Maybe make the Like/Dislike a bit more prominent and accessible, and find a way to differentiate between the controls for training the recommender and the upvote/downvote actions on the post itself. Or even better, make them the same thing so there's only one pair of controls and if you're not logged-in then upvoting just boosts the recommendation but doesn't actually send the upvote action to the post.
• Please use actual links (``) for post navigation so that I can tell my browser to open a link in a new tab. Usually I middle-click to do this (in Firefox) but since the post title and content only respond to javascript events, I can't middle click to open in a new tab. Clicking the post opens it in the same window.
• Add text content of posts, or at least a button to expand the text content. Right now text posts are just the post title and I have to click through to read the content.
• Add alt-text (tooltips) to your buttons. I know what the standard share/bookmark icons look like but it helps to have tooltips to be sure.
• Add a link to open the original post (on the origin server). Every fediverse UI has this. If you have it too, I couldn't find it.
• Allow me to see (and drag) the scrollbar of the main content frame.
• Add a refresh button (maybe at the top of the feed) so that I can generate more recommended content without having to actually reload the page in the browser.
• When clicking a community name, I get the community page but I can't press the back button to go back to the feed.
• If I "dislike" a post, I don't expect to see it again after a refresh, or ever.

Also, it's a bit late to change it now, but the name is very 2009-internet-startup.

Any novel idea that gets a modicum of success is immediately and repeatedly flogged to death by copy-cats, both indie and corporate, for the next several years until the gaming public is sick of seeing it. See any recent successful gaming trend for an example.

but it does make me happy to see articles condemning their moves almost every day

Did you read this article? It's a pro-Microsoft article published on MSN (Microsoft Network).

Yeah. RISC is good.

Tencent Games strategic advisor Shawn Layden ...

Non-endemic companies such as Google and Amazon are among the biggest threats to the games industry.

That's according to former PlayStation boss Shawn Layden, who shared his thoughts on the future of games during the keynote at last week's GamesIndustry.biz Investment Summit in Seattle.

The irony is palpable throughout this entire article.

The man's a legend, but not without recent controversy:

That wasn't the point of OP's post. They're saying that people who want to opt out from this search data telemetry must also opt out of all telemetry, which means privacy conscious users will be under-represented in Mozilla's telemetry data (selection bias). This could lead to worse privacy-related decisions from Mozilla in future.

Same. What a disappointment that was. Mobile-style time-gating and microtransactions in a PC game.

The key thing to know is that a client can do an HTTP HEAD request to get just the Content-Length of the file, and then perform GET requests with the Range request header to fetch a specific chunk of a file.

This mechanism was introduced in HTTP 1.1 (byte-serving).

I don’t think anyone’s arguing that Red Hat isn’t in the right, legally, to do what they did (anymore).

I am. It's there in the GPL text in black and white. Red Hat does not have any right to place restrictions on the distribution of derivative works that they do not own the original copyright for. Threatening to terminate a service agreement is a restriction.

All of the projects that own FOSS code that Red Hat uses in RHEL could legitimately revoke Red Hat's license to use that software on the grounds that they have violated the licensing terms required by the GPL.
