wait what the fuck? they’re all crazy, but you must be making that last one up.
New, by me: Who Runs the Qilin Ransomware Group?
The cybercrime group Qilin has emerged as the world’s most active ransomware affiliate program, claiming at least 365 victim organizations in the past three months alone. But even top Russian hackers make operational security mistakes, and the administrator of Qilin has made a few key missteps over the last decade that all point to a 36-year-old man living in St. Petersburg, Russia.

We really need a good term for all these chatbot reverse engineered turds, but I cannot come up with anything better than 'reverse-slopped'

@Migueldeicaza And has made millions off their own political career!!! Covered for healthcare for life after two years! Socialism???
Can my GMail sorting rules be exported from GMail via Google Takeout? Can they be imported into… anything at all?
Bless clubbing, what I'm doing right now (6)
quite like this idea that just popped into my head, although it would be Frowned Upon outside minute cryptic I reckon :)
CLUING -- that's what I'm doing right now, when writing a clue, and it's "B-less clubbing". "Bless" for "b-less" is a no no in formal crosswords! and this is pretty easy, but nonetheless I like it.
I have a Fediverse profile for a note-taking app that I'm working on, over at @pbnotes.
@manlycoffee @pbnotes Interesting! Wonder how an immutable ledger will scale to thousands of notes and tens of thousands of edits. Scaling is often the bottleneck of ledger-based storage, right? Huge fan of block-based outliners though!

reddit got bad because spez (the reddit admin) restricted API access to the platform for third-party apps, such that people would be forced to use the official app or web UI, both of which display advertisement and collect user data (e.g. scroll behavior).
Reddit got bad long before they restricted API access. That's what was the final drop for many people, but it wasn't the beginning at all.
I agree that growing would be a benefit for Lemmy though. While I wouldn't dismiss the dangers of a growing community entirely, we can just defederate from or block problematic parts in theory. So I wouldn't say we're in quite the same danger as centralized platforms.
@FediTips What actually is selected to go in the "Trending" section? What makes a toot trendy? Is it trending in the instance or in the wider Fediverse?
It's trending amongst accounts that the instance is aware of.
It's basically any recent toot getting lots of boosts from accounts that the instance has noticed (mostly its own accounts and accounts that its users have interacted with).
If a toot has been boosted by accounts that the instance has never heard of before, it will ignore those boosts for the purposes of calculating trends.

Et tu, Nick Clegg?
A very predictable outcome.
@carnage4life Everything Trump touches dies.
Among all the the reasons people write code by hand — rather than let AI generate it — one reason that sticks out is that they are training AI with the code that they write.
And if they ever dare use AI to find answers, they're going to get fired.
@PhoenixSerenity The Surinamese ones are the ones I get on the market. The Indian ones are very hard to find here (though my friends and I will buy all of them whenever we see them 😂 )
I hope the translatey browser thing works for this recipe for stuffed sopropo (bitter melon)
@fubar We can get both kinds here 🙂
@richardemyers What version MacOS? Tagging @todd to help look into this issue.

There is a part of me that gets what Jason is seeing here. The problem is that I can also see past that, and it's bad.
The problem is a near total lack of consumer protection. Your tv sucks, and spies on you, and is overflowing with ever more ads because courts and regulators refuse to hold them accountable for it. You bought a product, you had a warranty, and the people we empowered to enforce all that just didn't. This hyper-libertarian-free-for-all is not the solution to that. It just formalizes everyone being completely on their own. It's amnesty for samsung. It's not liberation for you.
Society is fracturing under the weight of capitalism. How do you think the response to that problem is to destroy society?
@jenniferplusplus
> because courts and regulators refuse to hold them accountable for it.
That’s true. But that’s just ½ of it. It’s the consumers who buy the enshitified garbage that send a clear signal in support of enshitification.
I will not buy a washing machine now that I have been stung, and learnt the hard way that all modern washing machines now have kill switches. So I wash my clothes by hand. Yes, it fucking sucks but it’s important to not be part of the problem by buying the shit
as time rolls on fewer & fewer who paid for armed conflict are still with us. the politics can and will be debated forever. but the costs will amass forever as well. I cannot imagine being trained to fight for your life, literally, then entering the field.
Memorial Chapel in Parliament's Centre Block is a place that made an impression upon me I will never forget.
the reverence for all of time, the sacrifice of over 118,000 Canadians is displayed. they all mattered.
