I was talking about third party dependencies, which you missed. It's fair to say that was my poor writing, but my point still stands.

I've been tired with half-ass OSes like from Synology and QNAP that won't do the job, and wanted to explore alternatives. I appreciate your post!

The rules for being listed on fedi.garden will require blocking instances cited in human rights reports on genocide.

And this is their announcement on this oddly specific rule.

I mean, the wording "cited in multiple reports of massacres or genocides" is strange enough. An organization can be "cited" for doing anything. Can I write up two BS reports so that we ban any instance I don't like? Sounds like a teenager mimicking a TV politician speak, tbh.

Fediverse should be based on a mature protocol imo.

Well, I can agree with many points you made. I also think that FG is overreacting.

The only thing I want to say is that Fediverse by design lets administrators choose which instances they connect to. It's rather unfair because there's virtually no free alternative choice to fediverse, but as we choose fediverse, disconnection is a thing. The only question is whether FG is going too far this time. And if it is, we either convince FG to retreat or build an alternative to FG.

So... there will be organizations that will train devs for this, and that will outright ban LLMs. I know which mine will be. Time to reconsider my job, and possibly my place of work..

Seeing my colleagues, I fear that the answer from them is "That's the neat part, you don't!"

Yes. I simply think I already wrote what I needed to. The answer to your question is there. I guess it takes time to see my point.

I've started reading your references, and

“We cannot handcuff the police,” Mr. Adams said at a news conference at City Hall, where he was surrounded by community supporters and police officials. “We want to handcuff bad people for violence.”

OMG...

Indeed, ugh, can I go on because it's too personal to me.

My personal feeling is that the high-level management of such companies are indeed crony-ists. To this type of morons, companies are just assets that are to be cracked down and shared by their prestigious celebrity network or whatever.

Well, this is a biased view, but I'm gonna soon find out how much this applies to my employer...

I suggest you read my comment again.

Tbf AOC is powered with an unstoppable engine, and so was his naive idea of legal chatbot business assistance.

The title should have been something like "We all knew that AIs today can't be used for legal advice, and we did a routine demonstration to show why".

It's not like the chatbot looked for ways the user breaks laws, which would be a news.

Someone who uses ChatGPT daily knows. This generation of chatbot won't be able to work within all the details of NYC exceptions to go against laws elsewhere, which dominate the training data.

I am starting to believe that we shouldn't rely on this type of labor product in the first place. Something as critical as OpenSSH should be (and possibly is) funded by the users and also NOT use third party libs because it's dangerous, as this incidence showed. FOSS is free not as in beer.

Hell... As a researcher maintaining one technology on my own, I feel this. This is another reason one shouldn't do things for free. There needs to be an incentive. And professionalism in the community. Sadly, both are hard to find...

Sorry to hear your situation. I've heard a similar story from a friend, where cronies bully one "colleague" after another to push that poor person to the edge. These morons climb the company's career ladder in that way, hacking the HR evaluation. It's truly disgusting.

Ars Technica sounds like a weirdo to me these days. Loves to attack big techs (although understandable), now adds this to their description of Arch.

graphviz: Exploitability for CVE-2023-46045 may be uncommon because this file is typically owned by root, but is related to an out-of-bounds read via a crafted config6a file. A welcoming fix was provided.

I can't imagine a single reason to use graphviz other than legacy code. Its algorithms are classical and old. Maybe someone should rewrite it in Rust, but even that might be an overkill.

Right. His Mastodon bio also says he's a postgres dev at MS. Something went wrong by the time this post was done.

If you’re a landlord wondering which tenants you have to accept, for example, you might pose a question like, “are buildings required to accept section 8 vouchers?” or “do I have to accept tenants on rental assistance?” In testing by The Markup, the bot said no, landlords do not need to accept these tenants. Except, in New York City, it’s illegal for landlords to discriminate by source of income, with a minor exception for small buildings where the landlord or their family lives.

The title is sensationalized. But I have no idea what NYC was thinking.
