My ISP doesnt even support ipv6 so it is off everywhere





Its a YouTube video watching app. Imagine the YouTube app on your desktop but open-source and no ads.




There are no internal IPs with IPv6. All devices get a unique a pool of global IPs. You can enable the IPv6 privacy extension to rotate through IPs every N min etc.

This all being said this all might be unrelated. Just wanted to comment because IPv6 is like SELinux in the sense that turning it off is almost never the correct answer.


I see this on a daily basis. Switch to another VPN node and you’re good. Sometimes it takes a couple times.


Oh that’s interesting. With IPV6 they are able to block you internal IPs?


Are you using ipv6? This happened to me, but switching to only ipv4 fixed it.


Nah ,I use meshcore and reticulum ,so its fine



FTFA:

Worse: this flow runs entirely through Google Play Services, not the Android OS.

Everyone running a privacy-based AOSP like Graphene try to keep your giggles to a minimum.




I’d have to imagine it was an accident, most companies don’t plan to open themselves up to legal liability in this way.


Wasn’t “leaking” the data the chefs kiss of this particular grift? Are we understanding this to be an “accident” while there is an entire economy built around it?


someone should ask our dear leader which of the two original colonies he demanded be left off his phones. because you know if it’s pointed out to him publicly, he will never admit the mistake, he’ll claim it was on purpose and berate the intelligence of whoever asks the question.

my guess would be the missing stripes represent, New York for obvious reasons and Vermont because of Bernie.


This honestly should have just been something like a DBrand skin. But I guess it’s for boomers, who wouldn’t be great at putting a skin on their phone even if they knew how.


I don’t care about the data leak but this got an audible chuckle out of me:

To support those tried-and-true American values, the golden smartphone features an American flag on the back. There’s just one problem. This particular American flag has just 11 stripes, whereas the real flag has 13 stripes. I guess “American values” don’t allow for an extra set of eyeballs on a design document.


Mixed feelings about this. I do love new integrations but I remember moving away from StoryGraph and towards Bookwyrm because StoryGraph had started leaning hard into AI usage for book summaries and things. I like Hardcover too; would rather have integration with that.


These companies are straight up allergic to selling a product that doesn’t massively invade privacy anymore. What I would give for some HUD-only glasses.


Yeah I noticed that, especially with the noise canceling feature that doesn’t seem present on the older, cheaper model.


These are new, yes, but Marshall has indeed always been making headphones that look just like this.


Good blog post. Author hits a strange disconnect from their audience when they recommend ChromeOS over LiquidAss (Surely MacOS is better?). Personally, I’m not sure a system like this could even appeal to me, since it only supports Linux containers. From memory, ARM Chromebook’s are notoriously adverse to installing Linux on bare metal. It’s good to know that Apple doesn’t have a complete monopoly on fast ARM chips, just sad that ChromeOS was the chosen OS for them…




I find it really interesting that the article doesn’t speculate whether or not the Googlebook will be running Aluminum OS or Fuchsia OS.


Yeah we need some fun sometimes. :)



Apple TV Remote app

Apple’s official iPhone and iPad app for controlling Apple TV. Pulled from the App Store after Apple moved the remote into Control Center.

Some Google nerd is desperate to clap back at the Google graveyard people.



Yeah, this needs to be filed in the “who cares” bucket.

I’m waiting for true freedom equal to my PC. I own it and I can install anything I want.



How about just stop supporting an archaic technology that violates basic principles developed 40 years ago (that is, RCS is a hardware-bound “protocol”, something that was eliminated with TCP/IP).



Wow, I was going to post a hate post about how corporations keep their code private thus stagnating humanity.

But it turns out Texas Instruments is pretty chill.

Here’s their github page. I hope they migrate their code somewhere else soon.






Im very interested in what happens this coming week. I think the American market will keep going higher, because investing institutions think it cant crash. And maybe they know it cant. There is a lot of inside info going on.


It already affected the stock market (and it’s ongoing).

Remember when that person in a totally unrelated questioning argued the Dow was above 50k? The next days trump pulled some insane bullshit and this is what happened:

graph of dow descending far below 50k after it rose all the the months before

Other markets weren’t immediately affected that much, but then he started the Iran war and that put a dent in all global markets. They seem to recover quicker tho.


I also low key expect them to create horrible inflation and because I’m in EU and trade stocks in € this will affect the value of US stocks for me (and everyone else not using US$).


I think its a bit scary when an official person from Bank of England is saying it. But yeah, we will see. I think Trump is creating a global crisis right now and if that doesnt affect the stock market, I will be very surprised.

A crashing stock market is normally what comes before a huge depression, when grocery prices are extreamly high, there are rations, and people dont have money to buy food.


The thing is, the market thinks that if if crashes, America will just create more money and inject it into the stock market again. Because they can just do that and they dont care about their debt. Its so absurd.

There is also this idea that americas war machine depends on the market going up, to fuel investments. I dont know how true that is. But there is this sense of stock market never going to be down for long.


Already sold all my US stocks, except 2. It was when trump started his major bullshit streak. I don’t trust the US economy any more; not even for gambling with stocks.

Most other countries are fine tho.


I have no evidence, but you know who likes to sell tampered devices? Israel. Remember when they sold pagers with explosives inside and killed and wounded a lot of ppl in Lebanon, including killing 2 children? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2024_Lebanon_electronic_device_attacks

I would suggest taking a close look at the companies which resold this stuff, because other buyers may be in for a surprise as well.


I’m sure we’ll all be burning to death before the manipulation stops or crashes


The bubble will pop at some point, but I don’t think much will happen until housing is massively disrupted, like there are mass foreclosures, evictions, or failures of the companies giving out housing loans.

We could have received a necessary correction if we didn’t give out stimulus checks during COVID-19, but that would have hurt politicians’ popularity, and probably wouldn’t have many them many corporate friends either.


We keep seeing these articles & so far it keeps not happening, but eventually the system has to collapse, right?


Not that I support this farce of an Epstein-distraction-war against Iran, but Iran has been on the sanctioned blacklist for Cisco (and other enterprise level tech in government use) sales for decades. The only way Iran could get the gear into the country is by using unauthorized channels. Knowing there were no authorized sales, this would be very easy way for state level espionage organization to build compromised devices to flow into Iran.

If you buy a stolen computer, and there is a virus on it, you don’t really have any claim against the computer manufacturer.


Never used it, so can’t tell. But, from other users review, Siri wasn’t great.


Was Siri ever known for being great at having conversations though?






I’ve seen some security researchers, such as Ed at LowLevel, cover Mythos and they’ve been reasonably impressed.


That’s what I mean. Especially since it’s after the related lawsuit, FFS. This is completely a CYA move, nothing more. They’re just making sure it’s harder to sue them for the same shit and win. 🤬


Seems like it!

In most cases with web services like this, “delete” doesn’t even mean “delete”, the files remain on the backup servers for some time.


So, in this instance, “deletes” means “removed from external access”, eh? Clever.




Charming. Is that vibe coding you’ve got under the hood, chatbot? Aww. You seem special.


LLMs can be really good at big patterns now. They have gotten good at detecting bugs in small sections of code, regardless of indentation, style, naming, etc. There were probably tons of missing bounds checks in Firefox.



I’m not sure if you’re intentionally missing the point, or simply didn’t read it for comprehension. 😅


That’s not the most accurate way to put it. They’ve been slow-rolling the implementation of Gemini features in the versions of Gemini they have in their Home/Nest and Android Auto versions of Gemini for quite some time now, until recently they’ve just been Google Assistant under a different name. Only recently (like, a few days ago), did Gemini start working in my Android Auto device. They announced that implementation like a week or two ago.



“Lets”?! WTF. They need everyone to. Gotta feed the machine so that free/cheap data that no one’s keeping them from, eh? 🤢🤌🏼



He lies about shit that doesn’t matter too though. He really can’t help it and it’s a definite red flag.


In the case where people respond without reading based on a kneejerk reaction to a couple of key words, I’d say it is the fault of the reader. Communication takes two parties.


The strawman is the person I replied to arguing against dismissing the entire case based on the claim of three-year-olds having useful memories. And rudely, I might add. I never said that the entire case should be dismissed. They made that up. That was the strawman.


Misunderstandings at a broad scale are the fault of the communicator, not the receiver.


Being an untrustworthy huxter just makes him an unreliable witness.

Lust for power is a better indicator. Does he have a history or trying to control people?


I agree with your reasoning. Personally I would describe it as being a weak case rather than a strawman which usually involves misrepresentation.


Because I’m not dismissing the whole thing. That notion is being conjured and argued against (a strawman argument). I specifically said he should be investigated and prosecuted. It’s the pre-5yo part that weakens the case and should be dropped, and we shouldn’t pussyfoot around that if we want a solid case (a judicial one and in the court of public opinion).


It only comes across that way for idiots that don’t read. It’s actually important, because a case against Altman has to be very strong. If everyone refuses to talk about the flaky part of the accusation because of feelings, then the whole case is likely to fail when it hits any kind of judicial or media pushback.


You’re the ignorant one here and you need to check your knee-jerk reaction and actually try reading before you respond. I indicated that using a 3 or 4 year old’s memory is dicey, but that she was clearly raped when older and reliably remembers that, and so he should be investigated/prosecuted. But it damages the case against him using unnecessarily flakey memories.



Buffet’s business screws over low income housing and has funded companies like Dow Chemical buying up its competitors to become monopolies that ruin the world for us all.


You are trying to have a sensible discussion about early memories in a conversation about alleged rape.

Save the argument for another opportunity because it comes across as you being defensive about Altman.



Guess his name stands for Sister’s Abuser and Molester, then


But judging by his personality

Which red flags in particular?



Ok. I believe you, you’ve made your case. I stand ashamed.


There was an update on the case:

In a Wednesday night filing in St. Louis federal court, Sam Altman said Missouri’s child sexual abuse statute, opens new tab does not authorize punitive damages for Annie Altman’s claims, and instead limits ​her to “damages for injury or illness” caused by childhood sexual abuse.

Looks like he will get away with it. Surprise surprise. I mean sure, I cant know for sure if this guy did it. But judging by his personality, I think he is exactly the kind of guy who would.


So Aaron Schwartz was right not to trust Sam.

Also, isn’t this old news? His sister filed a lawsuit last year against him.


I attended preschool at 4. I recall distinctive memories of that experience.

My parents got divorced the same week I turned 5. We moved…

I recall the house I grew up in. The playset. The sand box. The dogs. The neighbors. The neighborhood. The exact address. The phone number. Riding my bike around, parts of the town I grew up in(we moved out of that town and indeed never lived there since). Even climbing trees. Friends. Getting blue ribbons in track. I was a great sprinter. All from before I was 5.

The dog wrapped itself around the tree and died right after my 4th birthday, like in July or August.

I don’t recall my 3rd birthday party, though. But I recall my 4th. I recall my babysitter. Haha, my dad even had me golfing. However, I do have some very scant memories from before preschool when I would have been three.

Like running into a table. Still got a scar from that one.


3 yr olds memory?

Fixated much?

What about when she was 4?

5?

6?

7?

8?

9?

10, 11, 12, 13?

You stupid fuck. Pick your battles.



So because you think she can’t remember being raped as a child, you’re dismissing the whole thing? What age are you accepting rape-memories from? Because the rape allegedly continued well into her teens. I think she’s allowed to remember that.


Look, just because you were born too stupid to remember stuff from when you were young, let alone read actual research papers, doesn’t mean the rest of us are.


I do, in fact I vividly remember my third birthday. I also vividly remember the CSA I went through, because distressing memories tend to stick.



Like, an actual memory that I remember happening to me.
