Privacy@programming.dev•Ubuntu, Fedora, Linux Mint Eye Age Verification Amid California Law Backlash
41·14 days agoOf course, this is not only about Ubuntu, Fedora, or Linux Mint, as it would apply to all GNU/Linux distributions, desktop environments, and application hubs lke Flathub or Snap Store, which will have to comply with the upcoming law in the near future in some way, especially since similar laws have already been proposed in other US states, including New York and Colorado.
This is likely to have an impact on all Linux distros, one way or another.

Heather Doshay, head of people at SignalFire, told the New York Times: “Nobody has patience or time for hand-holding in this new environment, where a lot of the work can be done by A.I. autonomously.”
This is how they think. It’s not smart.

Programming@programming.dev•Vibe Coding Has a Security Problem Nobody Wants to Talk About
19·25 days agoNobody who’s into vibe coding wants to talk about it. The sane people, on the other hand, are already well aware.
It doesn’t say what they’re planning to do about laws requiring age verification. It says they’re forming a group to figure that out. The problem with bad legislation is you can’t just ignore it, so they need to at least work out an approach. In itself this news is neutral, but we’ll have to see what they decide.

2·1 month agoThere must be so many people on it. If we all keep speaking our minds about ICE and their fascist leaders maybe we can keep bloating out that list.

Personally I’d just patch it in software by coding up my own CPU cooler.
Is that a strap with a buckle holding it on?

13·2 months agoThe Github repo is called “meet”. So maybe they named it Meet then thought, “Oh no, Google will sue us, let’s choose a different name like… Visio!”
They should really call it Visio Zoom Meet for Teams that Excel.

7·2 months agoFollowing their link to LiveKit’s blog, it seems LiveKit provides a real-time communication stack with adaptive video encoding. So they’re using it to handle multiple video streams over connections of varying quality. I don’t think it’s mainly about AI, even though that’s LiveKit’s focus.
I could have happily watched that for a lot longer.

Climate@slrpnk.net•Bill Gates charity trust’s holdings in fossil fuel firms rise despite divestment claims20·2 months agoYou don’t get that rich by being honest or caring about your world.




















I don’t know whether you’re right about inevitable dependencies, but surely reducing fossil fuel use to the essentials would still be a huge and worthwhile improvement? It feels like your argument is needlessly suggesting an all-or-nothing approach.
