I’d appreciate it if everyone could just stop burning fossil fuels, please. Thank you for your cooperation.
Whichever kernel debian bookworm has, the patch for this has most likely been applied to it. The larger risk is to organizations running ancient versions of RHEL or something that never get updated, e.g. because some hardware they need uses a shitty proprietary driver that supports only very specific kernel versions.
Edit: You can confirm that it’s been fixed in Debian here. Looks like it was patched for bullseye systems still running kernel 5.10 in June 2024.
“Hacktivist” apparently now means “for-hire saboteurs working for Russia.”
Thank Goodness You’re Here was good for a few laughs.
Is this a joke or are you serious?
Both. I realize it’s not for everyone, but I like it the best. When I got into it, what I was looking for in a religious text was not that it be “the easiest” but I didn’t want to learn Latin or Hebrew either.
Pretty sure the copyright on the KJV, which is obviously the best version, has expired by now.
Another hypothesis is that the city was taken over by wizards.
What I’m thinking of depends more on the training methods and data used. But I guess it’s too early to say much about what strong AI would be like, we’re not really close to it yet.
I mean some of it might turn out to be “profitable” in the narrow sense of earning financial returns for somebody, but that does not mean it will be a profitable endeavour for humanity in general.
I would take issue with your implicit suggestion that humanity becoming slaves to AI would be fine if the machines doing it weren’t under the direct central control of their elite owners. The gradual replacement of human thinking with rapid low-cost mediocre pseudo-thought is a problem for more than just the worlds of media and art, no matter who’s nominally the owner of the process.
Yoti, a trusted third-party identity verification provider
Sure they could do it without relying on a third party, but Microsoft knows its users are going to have an easier time trusting “Yoti” rather than trusting Microsoft.
Sort of hard to believe they’re going through with it. I guess many people in Texas will be wandering the networks looking for alternative distributors of apks in 2026. No doubt that will greatly improve everyone’s security.
They bought into the “age verification” scam.

Most will be fine, except for some recent multiplayer stuff with invasive anti-cheat whose publishers choose to go out of their way to prevent us Linux users from being their customers.
Let’s assume being a landlord is made illegal overnight. Tenants won’t be made to leave their homes, however, until the landlord has been able to sell up.
I mean obviously we’re not going to abolish landlords overnight unless we abolish a whole lot of other things along with them in some kind of incredibly successful revolution, but thinking that we’d keep them around long enough to profit from the sale of their real estate assets is just a failure of imagination. Let’s assume that all mortgage debt is cancelled and ownership of every dwelling is granted to whoever’s been living in it.
Good call there over at the Grauniad.
Google’s version of android isn’t the “real” one, it’s the (soon to be even more) defective one.
Yes… that is the topic of discussion. I’m just saying it’s manifestly unfair if they apply that tax to refills of your cup at Nando’s, but don’t charge extra for each lump of sugar in a cup of tea.
In order to be consistent they’ll need to start charging tax per lump of sugar as well.
I didn’t read a word of it, simply scrolled to the end to verify that yes, there is a link to X down there.
