• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Arch Linux continues to feel the force of a DDoS attack after two brutal weeks — attackers yet to be identified as project struggles to restore full service⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  The details of origin and motives of the attack, along with mitigation tactics, are, understandably, being kept under wraps while the investigation continues

  I hope they’ll disclose at least the origin, and what they think their reasons are, when it’s over.

  I’m curious about who would attack Arch and why.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google launches dedicated Password Manager app for Android⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Google has too much of a long history of discontinuing their apps not long after launching them, this one won’t be any different.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Can people not search “Ed Zitron newsletter,” or “Ed Zitron podcast”? I’m kinda surprised how much this happens

  Would it kill you to add the links yourself?

  There you go:

  • Youtube channel
  • Podcast on Spotify
• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨LLMs aren’t world models⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Ofc they’re not, they’re not made for knowledge not intelligence, they’re made to “predict” language patterns based on probability.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft Store application updates can no longer be disabled⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The problem with Microsoft is they always try to cater to the absolute lowest denominator when it comes to users, I understand why they do it, because there are indeed some people that shouldn’t look at a computer even with a binocular, but I don’t agree with their approach nonetheless.

  Being treated like a moron by an OS infuriates me and that’s why I switched to Linux many years ago.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AI experts return from China stunned: The U.S. grid is so weak, the race may already be over⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I think Trump open war against them helps, I mean, if you cut them our of critical supply, you push them to develop their own, they’re not stupid.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft's Windows lead says the next version of Windows will be "more ambient, pervasive, and multi-modal" as AI redefines the desktop interface⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  What the heck does “more ambient” even mean?

  you’ll be able to speak to your computer while you’re writing, inking, or interacting with another person. You should be able to have a computer semantically understand your intent to interact with it

  God save us all…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft begin rolling out Xbox account age verification checks in response to UK Online Safety Act⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  We expect to roll out age verification processes to more regions in the future.

  Why on earth do they want to apply this bullshit elsewhere? Isn’t the law UK only?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Global hack on Microsoft product hits U.S., state agencies, researchers say⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s a zero-day vulnerability but the article doesn’t say what it is.

  Microsoft states it affects all on-premises servers, they say their cloud is not affected.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Valve are now removing a bunch of sex games from Steam to keep banks and card companies happy⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Finally an explanation that makes a lot of sense, thank you!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Subnautica 2 publishers Krafton accuse ousted bosses of abandoning duties, and now those ex-leads are suing⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I removed Subnautica 2 from my wishlist the moment I read the founders were fired, and after this I surely won’t buy it.

  It’s a shame tho, the first was fantastic and I had high hopes for this one (didn’t like BZ tho).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨VMware perpetual license holder receives audit letter from Broadcom⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The company I work for did the same, it’s not easy to completely replace a virtual farm but we’re working on it :)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bazzite would shut down if Fedora goes ahead with removing 32-bit⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Didn’t Ubuntu propose the same a while ago and had to step back because of all the backslash?

  Is the change coming from Red Had this time? They’re enterprise only so it’s possible they don’t care about home users whom are the ones still in need of 32bit libraries, I think big enterprises would use Windows virtual machines for that.

  I’m not personally impacted since I use Linux MX on my gaming desktop (Debian based) and Debian stood up during the Ubuntu debacle to state they have no intention whatsoever to remove 32bit libraries in the foreseeable future, but it’s certainly a blow for a lot of people, I hope Fedora change their mind about it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Upcoming MMO 'BitCraft Online' will be open source⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Ofc, assets should be copyrighted.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Upcoming MMO 'BitCraft Online' will be open source⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s interesting.

  Assuming they’re hosting the project on GitHub, I did a search but the only repo I found that seems relevant is the backend SpacetimeDB mentioned in the article: github.com/clockworklabs/SpacetimeDB.

  Do they really intend to open the source of the entire game? Or just the backend?
