“Devices at international news network Al Jazeera were infected with mercenary spyware from Candiru (rebranded as “Integrity Labs”) via targeted online advertisements.

The malicious advertisements were purchased by Discover-Tech, an Israeli company that presents itself as a legitimate advertising company, but which we found operates as a facilitator for multiple mercenary spyware partners.

Discover-Tech operates a platform called Controlium that enables its mercenary partners to de-anonymize, fingerprint, and automatically infect devices the moment an advertisement is rendered — a form of zero-click attack.”

@leeloo @mcc it can be both 😊

Also, I realised there's much better argument here: https://drewdevault.com/blog/AI-in-Linux/

@Yaku appena creato anch'io il profilo su #eurosky

Grumpy former Manchester United defender appears to confuse a good league start with completely unrelated performance expectations.

@rochelimit @fieldstation Yep, happy so far!

"Keeping essentials tethered to fossil fuels [leaves] ordinary people exposed to the price volatility of oil and gas that generates the economic insecurity on which authoritarian politics feeds.”

Good interview with German neo-Keynesian economist, Isabella Weber.

There is only one true krautrock - if you are a purist.

You find Karl, aged 68, somewhere in a loft in Spandau. Karl smokes endlessly and knocks out four on the floor, unwavering - snare on two and four and high hat eighths.

Pica has a vivid imagination, above average emotional and social intelligence, exceptional athleticism and agility and next to zero (maybe less) understanding of logic.

This combination of extreme contrasts is the essence of the cat.

She doesn't understand that if she's standing on the blanket I can't pick it up so she can lay on my lap... but she knows how to help when you are depressed, and she's living an exciting saga where she hunts the ghosts that live in the walls.

3416 mal hat @nadia_z in der Suche der Tagesschau den Begriff #umstritten gefunden. Eingehender behandelt sie die "Umstrittenheit dieses Ausdrucks" in ihrem Vortrag "Medien zwischen Macht und Ohnmacht", den sie kürzlich auf der re:publica gehalten hat. Kürzlich auf der re:publica? Ja, die gab es - #Österreich hat jetzt nämlich ebenfalls eine 😄

Danke, lieber @lxplm @derStandard

Noura Maan hat sich für @derStandard mit @nadia_z unterhalten.

Wie und warum scheitern Medien am Umgang mit Rechtsradikalen bzw. Faschisten? Und was soll das mit dem Objektivitätsfetisch, dem fehlenden Kontext, den Doppelstandards, der Red Scare?

Just say "What, exactly, do you mean by "AI"?", if they try to answer, get out.

calls this to mind

The best illustration of this trait is the test where one person divides up a pile of money and the other person either takes the deal, splitting the money as the other person chooses, or refuses the deal so that neither person gets the money.

Be the person who only accepts the 50/50 split.

@yogthos I was hard to motivate decades before covid.

30k commits per day isn’t the flex you think it is

Some of us remember a time when we committed work when it was functional and shippable

(WIP commits were checkpoints, local, and were not intended to escape)

Today's badly-written residential proxy AI crawler fun: 5.8 million requests from 2.3 million unique IP addresses in 24 hours for a site with 12,000 static pages that hasn't changed since 2003. Most of these requests are from consumer networks and pretending to be real browsers. As many other folks have noted, it's becoming increasingly difficult to mitigate the impact of these attacks.
