Someone at YouTube thought it would make sense to play stupid games while watching videos. Like what the heck... no, I want to focus on the presentation, not be distracted by flashy crap?!
Dismissing it will "tune your recommendations".
@CyReVolt we truly live in the dumbest timeline
@lina You’ll want something with post-quantum support, which mostly means not assuming you can fit a public key in a single UDP packet, unless you hardly need to fit anything else in the packet.
@alwayscurious No I definitely don't need PQC. This is nowhere near that important...
It’s been a remarkable week for democracy. Voters in Brazil and Serbia have defeated movements led by would-be authoritarians, following Hungary’s rejection of Viktor Orbán six months ago. These victories show that even when leaders capture the media, tilt the rules in their favor, and enlist powerful allies abroad, people can still fight back. Next Tuesday, Americans have the chance to do the same. https://thinkbigpicture.substack.com/p/democracy-is-on-the-march
@georgetakei after a decade of being numb on social networks, people start to realise the power they can have in real life.
So the term for AI-generated animated films is "slop-motion", right?
Well this is eleventy-million kinds of Fucked Up. LA Times (who once contracted with me as a freelance reviewer and whom I struggled to get paid by) asserts that *merely reading its website* constitutes a permanent waiver of your right to sue it under *any circumstances*. This means that freelancers like me who read the website would lose the right to sue the company if we got stiffed. #consenttheater #bindingarbitration #dickovers
@pluralistic It is really nice to live in a country that have established laws that not only prohibits companies from inventing their own laws, but also makes it unnecessary to sue to get ones rights.
@passthejoe @brynet yeah! i was hoping someone would pick up the iwm reigns and run with it since it's mostly just porting openbsd bits to freebsd bits but for some weird reason people don't like touching wifi stuff. but everyone HAS wifi stuff.
So yup, guess I'm gonna do it. :-)

"Dass Dinge aus Silikon sowohl Gedanken und Intentionen als auch ein Bewusstsein und subjektive Erfahrungen haben können." 🤦
Wie das einem Tech-Journalisten passieren kann, ist mir wirklich schleierhaft.
silicone (EN) = #Silikon (DE)
silicon (EN) = #Silizium (DE)
Aber das kam auch schon bei James Bond mal falsch übersetzt vor. 😉
@publicvoit ach, Kleinigkeit!
Wir haben ja auch die Eutopie schon aufgrund der englischen Sprache verloren.
FOSDEM 2027 – Social Web Devroom – Call For Participation
@scops True, the work done was just to make sure it compiles, and I had it tested in a VM as well. Fair point, I can add binaries in the release pipeline. Not sure how it can be added in the depot though
@midwan
First it would be very nice to have a binary release (and/or a how to what is needed to compile) i myself havent submit to the depot in the past either. But if you like i can look into it to update the package from time to time (lite and full version would be nice to have since most haiku machines are not the fastest ones :))
first-person action horror game
@cwebber @josch as a kernel dev dealing (manually) with the automated reviews, I have to admit they aren't slop in the narrow sense. They do catch real issues where I'm being the "sloppy" one, e.g. forgetting entirely that this is a concurrent environment and not locking access to a new field. Though the situations where the caught bugs would manifest in practice often feel veeery convoluted and unlikely and that does make them frustrating to deal with.
I'm just… annoyed and sad at the fact that burning a couple bucks of compute on spicy-autocompleting natural language "thought logs" is how static analysis of C code is done now. And all to catch things that the Rust compiler would've caught FOR FUCKING FREE IN A MILLISECOND! Criminal way to do things.

Consequences for the recent LLM vote seem to have arrived for Debian... automated slop reviews: https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2026/10/msg00263.html
And we see here that at least one Debian developer, @josch, has been lost due to this change.
This is INCREDIBLY sad IMO. If you're an MNT Reform family computer user, @josch is basically a folk hero for making those machines *work*.
I am still feeling vindicated in my Vibe Bobsled blogpost, having seen both what's happening to the Linux Kernel and now to Debian, where we see the dismantling not only of individuals coding, but also communities, as everyone rides the icy chute down the hill https://dustycloud.org/blog/faulty-towers-vibe-sickness-and-the-vibe-bobsled/
