Die USA fordern von Partnerstaaten weitreichenden Zugriff auf deren Polizeidatenbanken, die EU-Kommission verhandelt dazu ein Rahmenabkommen. Nun liegt ein neuer Entwurf vor. Max Schrems kritisiert die enthaltenen Regelungen.
First time starting up an Android device in... maybe a decade? And: wow. Start up, no sim card in the device even, no login to anything, and ads right there first thing, in a device I've paid for. Very cool to thumb right and get a fullscreen ad for That Fucking Guy and some MAGA shill from Alberta looking right there like it's part of the stock install because I'm in Canada I guess.
Well, off to the xda forums for me I guess.
If you work at Google you should quit.
Once we fix all open bug reports, and federation, would you like to see us add support for AtProto (what Bluesky uses)?

@camille Endo missed the World Cup due to an injury, but he was on the bench yesterday. No explanation available why he wasn't played, and I'm not aware of any journalists asking useful questions. The closest to that was Daniel Sturridge who made some intelligent observations, but he's not a journalist.
@camille And I suspect the question is also being asked more broadly now among the Reds as well.
@rysiek What happened? He posted here just a few weeks ago.
😪
however said fuckboy floyd then wrote this paper in 1967 https://dl.acm.org/doi/epdf/10.1145/321420.321422 in which he basically seems to describe timing attacks upon operating systems to the absolute letter
Because this process is a local one, being applied to each eormmand of the algorithm in turn, it is amenable to incorporation in compilers, macroassemblers, or simulators of machines.
he's talking about poetteringware manipulating task scheduling in order to determine secret information. imho
and then i found this one paper by yao from 1977 https://sci-hub.st/storage/2024/2238/4fb85cfd514b7d31d7bc9f505e74b14b/yao1977.pdf which i think is describing how to manage pulling from a CSPRNG vs performing deterministic encryption of a message? i'm not quite sure yet.
there is definitely some legitimately interesting tradeoff being described here regarding the "parallel" (nondeterministic) and "serial" (deterministic) components of a process
Keys work better when they're not inside the thing they're meant to open.

Mastodon/Fedi is the social network for people who read the encyclopedia for fun as a kid 🤔
For.. reasons.. I am making a wealth inequality playlist. I want songs that aren't TOO aggro and could be background-ish at an event, catchy, topical, without making themselves the center of attention. Here's what I have so far. Please parse this list and suggest along these lines, if you like.

On Elon Musk's disinformation platform, you can create a Russian propaganda account and get to 163,000 followers in just five months.
This account falsely claims that Ukraine wants to destroy Europe in a nuclear apocalypse, and the money financing weapons to Ukraine is actually used for sports cars.
Stay in reality. Choose #Mastodon.
@randahl Russia has been pounding the US with propaganda for 50 years. Also the news on youtube trying to bring it to light is disappearing. Here's an interesting video that explains it very well.https://youtu.be/W2JoI8fcElU?si=AuDpau7QGThf6naf
@paul_ipv6 @onepict Yup. I've become fond of saying, "I like companies and I hate CEOs." There's really no problem with groups of workers establishing mutual trust and common infrastructure that allows them to work faster, better, and with a steady customer base. That's all just common sense. What you don't do, if you have any sense, is take this basic concept and then say "instead of worker democracy, let's put a big fat nepo-baby at the top whose reality-detached decisions can ruin all of our lives, and who slurps down most of the income that could have gone to worker pay, rainy day funds, and general reinvestment!" It's such an unnecessary self-own, and yet it's the default way that even *non-profits* are structured, which is insane. It's like if everyone thought you needed tapeworms or you wouldn't be able to digest food. No, you don't need the parasites, just because they insist on existing in your org.
@kookie Das financial crime vorgekaut zu bekommen, ist einfach nicht dasselbe Fühl.
@Lilith ja kann ich verstehen. Wie soll ich mich denn sonst intelligenter und dem Pöbel überlegen fühlen?!
@richpuchalsky @onepict this just isn't true. There's *millions* of open source systems out there you're using right now whether you know it or not. They run Facebook and Netflix and Google. The entire web is based on open source systems. Almost every NAS or disk system is open source or based on it, as is much of a modern router. This immensely lacks perspective.
#opensource #freesoftware #ossdesktop
@mikebabcock @richpuchalsky Yes, but what's the software they perceive that they use every day?
It is office and in particular Outlook.
In the Windows ecosystem.
When I started in the 90s we had DOS and Unix. Microsoft changed the landscape.
People see websites and commercial hardware like NAS as separate.
BREAKING:
After the Washington Post fired me last year for speaking the truth in the wake of the Charlie Kirk killing, I fought back.
And I'm happy to announce: I won my case against the Washington Post.
They have been ordered to reinstate me immediately.

It’s unbelievable that I have to keep telling adults the same thing I tell my kids:
The goal is NOT to do it fast; it’s to do things right.
If you’re going to have to do the same thing five times because you rushed through it (and as a result, it’s incomplete, messy, incomprehensible, or doesn’t meet the standards, etc.), then you’ve wasted more of your and others' time.
Doing it right (or as well as you can), even if it takes longer, leads to a better outcome for everyone.
@zzt and does your instance actually ban racists?
APPARENTLY THIS ONE DOESNT
