Found an interesting new malware loader which creates a fake Windows lock screen to phish the user's system login password. The fully-modular loader also bridges multitude different programming languages, including: Python, C#, C++, and PowerShell.
This extensive use of cross-language components, along with shipping an entire runtime environment, lead to us dubbing it SynkLoader (Sink Loader), because it brings everything but the kitchen sink.
While the original loader runs all of its modules in memory only, we were able to collect them by reverse engineering the command-and-control protocol, then building our own version of the loader which logs everything to disk.
Additionally, we were able to to lure the operator into thinking they had a reverse shell on our honeypot system. This allowed us to watch as they attempted to execute PowerShell commands, which were being printed to our system's console instead of being run.

FCC abolishes gigabit speed goal, suggesting it is unfair to slower technologies
FCC decides 1Gbps is too fast, standard must be "technologically neutral."

Well guys, I now have data for every English voice Cerence has released, at least everything included in Mac/iOS so far.
That 137MB is for Lazurite. FluffyChat, also written in Flutter, is similarly bloated. Tusky, meanwhile, is 21MB.
I'd actually rather people didn't publish these apps, because then the niche would be left open and would be more likely to be filled by developers who don't think their users' computing resources are theirs to waste.
Flutter is a conspiracy by Google to sell higher-end phones by making apps bloated and slow.

So, coming back to the sign, there are two mini-conversations here, with two diffferent authors, and with two overlapping intended audiences:

@emilymbender cool points! I guess humans simply can't help anthropomorphising the world around them? We'll just keep talking to our pets, malfunctioning toasters and yeah: chatbots.

I'm so happy about my third open PR to @fedify !
It's amazing to see that every time the repository grows, it becomes easier to contribute to the project. For example the pre-commit hook!
The more you know, the dumber you think others are

I want a Firefox extension that knows how to replace every single "N months ago" label with the actual exact timestamp (using patterns for how the data is hidden in tooltips, click-to-expand, etc.).
That shit is SO unhelpful. Like if I'm looking back at git history, I don't care that a change was made roughly 3 months ago. I care whether it was made before or after an email I'm looking at that said something relevant to the change.

We couldn't hold these back any longer. It makes me happy every time I look up at the corner of a window. (macOS Golden Gate β6)
Captain Clever tore Dr. Dastard's door open. He held a press release.
"Is this true?"
"Yes. I'm donating my fortune to things governments won't fund, like women's shelters and trans support."
"Why?"
"People call me a tech billionaire. Feh! I'm a villain, not a villainaire! And stop hugging me!"
@MicroSFF How utterly evil, doing things that the government is against.
Do you have a browser window just for the books you are intending to, uhhh, procure?
My wife was looking at my books-to-procure browser window, and she just kinda shook her head.
She's, like, "I'm not even gonna ask."
That's what the Amazon "Wish List" is for.
... books I kinda' sorta' might light to have...
But not at that price.
😱
Maybe they'll offer me a discount, a sale, a special!

August 20 2002, Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 debuted on the N64 in the Americas(exclusively)!
Not only was this the last official N64 game published, its release came 8 months after any other N64 game (Bomberman 64 Arcade) and almost a YEAR after the Gamecube and Playstation 1&2 versions were released!
