@RussSharek I literally needed this reminder. Thanks! :)
happy to help
🤡 Cisco used AI to write security incident reports, with mixed results
“editing multiple sample reports within a single session resulted in cross-contamination of content from one report’s source material to another, even if the notes used to generate the first report were deleted from the project’s reference documents.”
@jbz While interesting, I do feel that the headline is misleading here. Cisco (disclaimer: I work there, but not at Talos) showed they'd attempted this and said it wasn't good enough. I do feel like The Register tries to make it look like they used it for real stuff and it was crap.

Prism 0.16.2 is out!
What's new:
* A bug was introduced in a prior release which caused Python wheels, produced in CI, to have zero backends, due to LTO optimizing them away. This no longer occurs.
* The Python wheels no longer build libspiel for the spiel backend because it has practically no mainstream adoption yet and requires that you build it from source.
* Similarly, spiel is no longer built with Prism in CI/CD releases because it is LGPL licensed and we would therefore have to ship the libspiel/libspeechprovider libraries along with Prism for Prism to load.
* Several bugs were fixed in the Orca backend and winelib which caused the Orca backend to malfunction in strange ways, such as trying to use a non-existant D-bus path or triggering a C++ length error. Thanks go to @pvagner for finding these.
* Prism now initializes geom and glibmm when prism_init is called for the first time.
* The Python bindings have been altered to prefer the Prism libraries shipped with the wheel at all times before prefering system-provided libraries (using RTLD_DEEPBIND and RTLD_NOW).
* The Orca backend will now properly clear the IS_SUPPORTED_AT_RUNTIME bit (and only that bit) instead of mistakenly clearing the entire bitset (except for IS_SUPPORTED_AT_RUNTIME).
* The system access backend no longer requires delay-loading SAAPI32/64 and Prism can now stand in for any SA API that exists on your system.
Dependency updates (PR #47):
* gradle-wrapper has been updated to 9.5.1.
* com.google.android.material:material has been updated to 1.14.0.
* com.android.library has been updated to 9.2.1 (which facilitated a significant rewrite of the android portion of the build system).

The best time to prune your dependency trees was 3 years ago, second best time is right now.
Like, these folks have Cold War brain and are high on Reaganism. What are you expecting to change when they still lead the party?
And what did it get you? Hell, what does the loyalty to the neoliberal minion wing even get the candidates? Clyburn might go down to Jim Crow redistricting and he's the biggest machine bootlicker in the party. They're barely even talking about - so they don't even care to save their OWN from Trump. Why you think they gonna save you?

Tattoo inspo for the librarians out there
Today I was in a sportswear shop in Denmark, where all items had two prices:
— A normal price which came with the requirement that you registered with them, so they can data mine your purchases.
— An almost 100 percent higher price which was offered to anyone who did not want to have their data mined.
I truly loathe this, but it is becoming more and more common in large retail chains in my country. Are you seeing this in your country as well?
Nope. (In France)
They will try to get as much info as possible out of you at the register though.
Just heard a Yardbirds song I didn't know followed by a Rolling Stones song I didn't know.
I can totally see how the Stones derive from American blues. Damned if I can tell how the Yardbirds did, or their descendants Led Zeppelin, tho they told everyone who would listen that American blues was their jam.
Working theory: they were listening on Bluetooth pods that were paired at the time with a different source than they thought.

Just attented the release party for @CCirco & co remix album with @nham and @TIBtv
This outstanding diverse collection came from posts on fedi and is emblematic of the immense human talent, camraderie and loving community here in the neighbourhood.
A strong counterpoint to the vapid, formulaic, derivative, slop, hate and insincerity dishearteningly dominating the corpo silos and popular discourse.

@repaircaferugby Hi there, Martin! I'd love your notes; I'm currently very early in the ideating stages—this is barely more than a pipe dream—so I don't quite feel committed enough to trouble you for a chat.
