Hoping prison abolitionists will bite and share this one: research-informed, Palestinian-led mental health support for nearly a hundred kids who suffered in occupation detention.

You support goes towards materials & facilitation. We have FOUR WEEKS: chuffed.org/project/hmg

@fillertrack its the positive air pressure. keeps stuff down a little better in general.

More and more convinced that the technocrats’ assertion that “AI” will take all of our jobs is a projection of their fear of a general strike.

New repairable T-series thinkpads got my mouth watering, can't wait until they are available as secondhand work laptops in a few years.

the phrase "wii sporks resorks" has arrived in my brain and refuses to leave.

Redox bans code regurgitated by “AI”

Redox, the rapidly improving general purpose operating system written in Rust, has amended its contribution policy to explicitly ban code regurgitated by "AI".

Redox OS does not accept contributions generated by LLMs (Large Language Models), sometimes also referred to as "AI". This policy is not open to discussion, any content submitted that is clearly labe

@deersyrup is subliminal also scifi? I read Blindsight last year because I am working through the list of Hugo Award winners and finalists for science fiction.

When I started in security, one of the prevailing attitudes was "The weakest link in the chain will always be the human."

I would like to thank every LLM provider and startup for changing this paradigm by introducing a much weaker link in the chain.

Doctorow discourse 

Jesus fucking Christ, Cory, this is patently ridiculous.

He doesn't engage with Audre Lorde's actual intention & meaning. No, he brings up a Black woman thinker/writer/activist, assures us he knows how "smart" she was, & then dismisses her words out of hand without even superficial engagement by using a cute little analogy.

I'm not trying to nitpick: that is some real colonizer bullshit.

What's everyone's favorite non-Lutris way of making Wine game shortcuts?

The Lutris author is specifically hiding AI code now: 'Anyway, I was suspecting that this "issue" might come up so I've removed the Claude co-authorship from the commits a few days ago. So good luck figuring out what's generated and what is not.' github.com/lutris/lutris/issue

An archive of pre-age-verification law OS installation images would probably be useful right about now.

Fascism, age verification, Flatpak, XDG 

@luana The comments sicken me so much, nobody ever thinks about how dystopian and fucked up it is to enforce control on devices for people just because they're young. You'd think these FOSS bros would understand that a system built to spy and control a population would be a bad thing to avoid, but no it's fine when they do it to "their property" of "their" children! How do so few people see that infantilizing children is a wedge to slam fascist systems into society, everywhere.

Uspol, Islamophobia 

The other day I noted an incident in which Southwest Airlines diverted to Atlanta and were boarded by SWAT because a guy used his phone timer to pray at the prescribed time, which happened to be in flight.

VASAviation has the audio about this:

youtu.be/eoav99JJAzQ?si=Mbmiw8

There’s more detail there. It was the
SWA flight attendant who was nervous because the passenger had a phone timer going off, he had chanted (prayed) in a foreign language, and he had asked about his hold bag that he wanted with him. This escalated to SWAT, along the game of telephone getting escalated to something about a ticking suitcase before being corrected.

I’ve seen plenty of people really want their gate-checked bag with them. I’ve been one of them. I’ve never had SWAT called on me.

This is some seriously Islamophobic shit, from SWA specifically and the ISA more generally.

Very much not okay.

And neither is the news failing to cover it adequately.

i honestly can't sing the praises of mistserver enough as a discord replacement from the streaming angle, at least 1:1 with another person (alongside using signal for voice/video/chat)

@scarlet_somnus was streaming via obs using the whip protocol to my server from the UK (my server is sitting on my desk in minnesota) and we were consistently at less than 1 second of latency with a good quality, stable stream

While oysters lack ears, they still can hear, using statocysts, their balance organ. Researchers have found playing the soundscape from a healthy oyster reef attracts larvae to settle! They have evolved to settle on their ancestors to build reefs, and sound is a useful cue of a good spot! phys.org/news/2022-10-sea-soun #clamFacts
