When I say the Community Edition (CE) of GitLab is more secure than the Enterprise Edition (EE), this is what I'm talking about:

6/7 of the 0-days patched this week were only in EE. One one affected both EE and CE.

https://docs.gitlab.com/releases/patches/patch-release-gitlab-19-3-1-released/

To be fair, it's usually not THIS bad, but the data consistently supports my thesis. Every single update there are at least as many, if not more, vulnerabilities in EE.

Bolt on a bunch of extra features, get a bunch of extra vunls to go with it.

Does anyone know if anyone is building products or doing research on the #Fediverse (incl. #Mastodon etc.) for #children ? I'm basically wondering about what it would take for it to be considered by the general public to be a safe alternative to commercial social media, possibly via a specialist client application. I'm UK based, but happy to hear about any jurisdiction and am really thinking in terms of products rather than legal / policy factors.

Boosts appreciated for this one, thanks!

@misty They have a unique version of Rainbow Islands that I would consider definitive!

@philcowans

Relevant question. I am in touch with an informal collective aiming to attract teachers and to bring the #Fediverse to their attention in order to let them use it in schools.
Indeed, under teacher's or schools headquarter's control and installed on @yunohost for that purpose, any Fediverse's instance would become undoubtedly and undeniably safe for children and teens.

@liaizon (Obligatory Disclaimer: This is just Posteing, and in particular I do not Actually Want either random fediverse admins nor the W3C SocialWG (nor the people involved in it) to be targetted by the US State.)

(The subtext of this Posteing is that I am interested in the possibility of ActivityPub being successful enough at enabling and supporting safe communication and coordination of social projects, that it would be seen as a similar level of threat as the email & blog hosting of A/I.)

@ethanz @jonathankoren congratulations!

🔴 Empresa noruega Statkraft confirmó que concluyó el llenado del embalse Los Lagos, en el río Pilmaiken.-
Para quienes integramos el Aylla Rewe del Ngen Mapu Kintuantü, esta confirmación no cierra el caso. Al contrario: vuelve más urgente la queja que presentamos ante las autoridades noruegas por violaciones a las obligaciones de debida diligencia en derechos humanos.

Our newest advice column addresses a question we've been getting a lot… Does AI make phishing worse? Spoiler: Signs point to yes. But your defenses remain the same, and can also be highly effective. https://freedom.press/digisec/blog/ask-a-security-trainer-does-ai-make-phishing-worse/

Fascinating winners in this year's Digital Archive Japan Award. There are several more traditional institutions in here, but also Hamster Corporation's Arcade Archives video game series! Their award focuses on the their weekly video series in which they invite representatives of game developers to show rare records from their corporate archives and discuss their significance. The award seems to focus on how they’ve raised public awareness of these archives. https://jpsearch.go.jp/en/daj-award-2026

@liaizon you can't -not easily at least- migrate a wordpress <-> noblogs ,
not compatible.. (i've tried in the past).
so not wordpress, noblogs.

@evacide as he himself says "we must compromise on privacy to ensure safety" - his address is just being shared to ensure we can all keep him safe.

This is how you show love to everyone 🌈❤️ https://www.comicsands.com/resurfaced-parton-king-lgbtq-support?utm_source=mastodon&utm_medium=infeed&utm_campaign=linkprogram

"Dolly Parton wasn´t just a working class heroine and a talented artist, she was also a cultural Ambassador that built cultural bridges between Cuba and the US.

The great Cuban dancer and director Litz Alfonso presented her work "Cuba Vivra" in Dollywood, Tenessee in the year 2019, and appreciated every effort by Dolly to make this cultural exchange happen."

@cstross This possibly explains the confluence of hippie ideals and fascism in the anti-vaccine/QAnon/conspirituality/diagonalist movement.

Hey, everyone remember that guy who said the Internet was a passing fad and then, when it was obviously wrong, quickly added a chapter to his autobiography to pretend that he knew it was an important development all along? You know, the guy who was friends with Epstein?

Apparently he now has opinions about AI.

If you're confused by the above message...

I'm suggesting that LLMs train themselves from patents.

Whenever a patent gets used, for the life of a patent, the patent owner can claim revenue. Even if the infringement was invented independently. https://patents.stackexchange.com/questions/771/what-happens-if-i-come-with-an-idea-that-was-already-patented

Filling LLMs with patents will give lots and lots of great ideas that, if the LLM spits out the idea, may cost the owners lots of money.

We just released the August release of MSEP.one, the #molecular engineering platform!

Made in #godot and, if I may say so myself, pretty neat!

Get it while it is hot!

The great thing about releasing software for free is that sometimes you get support requests for something you wrote 19 years, three names, and two genders ago
