Link to the patch?

prove that we’re using copilot to generate code

How do they expect you to do that? And are they capable of telling the difference if you lie about it?

That's great, but was it a smart idea to register a domain name in a TLD whose root nameserver is Verisign (an American company)?

some of which are likely illegal.

👀

Which one?

Passing power through doesn’t have to put noticeable load on the GPU.

I specifically said thermal load. Power delivery always causes heat dissipation due to I²R losses.

This must be for commercial displays where it is beneficial for installation to have power and data over a single cable.

I can't think why I would want power delivery to my PC monitor over the display cable. It would just put extra thermal load on the GPU.

We will have to watch closely how Mozilla implements these standardized consent dialogs, because this could be a devious way of obfuscating from the user whether the app uses their data in acceptable or unacceptable ways. I wouldn't put anything past the new surveillance capitalism friendly Mozilla Corp.

The article doesn't link to the source, which is this post:

https://blog.mozilla.org/addons/2025/04/03/rethinking-extension-data-consent-clarity-consistency-and-control/

Today, our Add-on policies dictate that any extension that collects or transmits user data must create and display a data consent dialog. This consent dialog must clearly state what type of data is being collected and inform the user about the impact of accepting or declining the data collection.

Whilst the policy is a great example of Firefox’s commitment to transparency and protecting user data, it can add significant overhead for developers who want to build on our platform, and it creates a confusing experience for end users who often encounter many different data consent experiences for every extension they install. These custom data consent experiences also increase the time it takes for add-on reviewers to process a new extension version, as they need to verify this custom code is compliant with our policies. We’re simplifying how extensions gets consent to collect data

In 2025 we will launch a new data consent experience for extensions, built into the Firefox add-on installation flow itself. This will dramatically reduce the:

• development effort required to be compliant with Firefox data policies
• confusion users faces when installing extensions by providing a more consistent experience, giving them more confidence and control around the data collected or transmitted
• effort it takes AMO reviewers to evaluate an extension version to ensure it’s compliant with our data collection policies

Developers won’t need to bother with creating their own custom data consent experiences. Soon, developers will simply be able to specify in the manifest what types of data the extension collects/transmits and this will automatically be reflected in a unified consent experience across all Firefox extensions.

The DHT exists and is already a fully distributed system.

Even without the DHT, there is no centralization in Bittorrent that would lend itself to federation. Anyone with a complete copy of the data can already start their own tracker.

Do you perhaps mean a federated content index that links to torrents or magnet URIs?

Try it again without Ventoy

There was a time when nurses and doctors said "flid" and "spastic" too.

Using a "cute" abbreviation of a technical term is, at the very least, condescending and at worst, a term that very quickly becomes used to bully people with specific outward appearances caused by medical conditions.

I hate this abbreviation of "premature baby" to "preemy." To me it's a slur, just like "flid," "spastic," or "mong." Stop using it.

Yeah, because they’ve been doing this to us plebs for years now.

I have not used it for 1 dimension

Querying for all intervals (x’, y’) that overlap with an interval (x, y) is a two dimensional range query that selects the upper left quadrant of the x-y plane that satisfies x < y’ && x’ < y

Do you think that Vikings are fictional characters?

That doesn't answer the question.

This is barely an article. What is Open-source malware? Are they talking about libraries that look legit but contain malware? Typo-squatting? Supply chain attacks? Compromised repositories of legit projects? Or is this actually malware that is released as open-source software so that bad actors can enjoy the freedoms of FOSS?

Your link is to a comment at the bottom of the page. Is that significant, or accidental?

They've only just achieved this - something that a six year old can do - and yet there are dozens of corporations and startups claiming to already be developing humanoid robots. Yeah I don't think the humanoid robots are going to be here soon. Imagine 300kg of steel with the intelligence of a 6 year old barrelling down the street.

If you're not cycling a pedal-powered generator to run your system then is it really self-hosted? My servers only use organic transistors grown in my zen garden.
