Artificial intelligence labs are in a new arms race to buy up millions of rare books, slicing them open, scanning the pages and pulping the remains — sparking concerns that the last remaining copies of out-of-print texts are being destroyed on an industrial scale.
The U.S. government has charged Samuel Tunick with allegedly typing in a passcode to wipe his phone before officers could search it. “I hope people understand that the charges against me are meant to intimidate people,” he said.
Supposedly the change of heart came after “the first security incident that I have felt very viscerally,” the Huggingface escape. To me it sounds like he’s worried about the competition breathing down his neck and wants someone to come in and call a time-out.
Sega is the latest publisher to make its views about physical media clear, in the wake of Sony’s controversial decision to kill off the manufacture and sale of discs by 2028. The president of the Japanese publisher, Shuji Utsumi, noted that he believes physical media is still important, though digital distribution is “crucial”, mostly thanks to the “steadily increasing” number of people playing on PC.
I’ve been testing VPN services and somehow every one with a client has written their own. Proton, Windscribe, IVPN, Mullvad, AirVPN, NordVPN, and the list goes on.
I’d like to try to get fedora to host a second headless Wayland session in the background for a remote user. I have a GPU but I want to share its render and compute, not the physical HDMI output, so I need a virtual Wayland session for the second seat.
Residents of Dowagiac, Michigan, just filed a lawsuit against a data center that allegedly generates a high-pitched whining sound — and has done so 24/7 for the past two years.
VulnCheck says fewer than 2% of AI-assisted vulnerability discoveries have been weaponized, casting doubt on claims frontier models are handing attackers a major advantage
I’ve literally always wanted a robo cleaner but I’m really not a fan of Appliances that send reports back to some creepy corpo. Does anyone have suggestions on where to start looking? All I’m finding is smart tech versions.
When you post on reddit, instagram etc. you’re giving the company your valuable data. (And it often is valuable, you put your thoughts into it and all that). Consider if you take 15 minutes to create value content, you’d get paid $5 or sth if you were doing it commercially. Now all that value is donated to big tech companies. (that’s the only reason why they have value at all.)
Since the last release “Mort”, dokuwiki supports markdown natively in addition to the old syntax. This can be activated in the settings (incl. a combination of both).
In an online discussion post, Alcorn State University history professor Dr. Jason Gibson posed a question that represented part of his students’ midterm. It was about the…
TL;DR: v1.4.2 is the latest stable release. Since v1.0, I’ve added P2P synchronization, ArchiveBox integration, and expanded platform support to Windows and BSD.
I use Debian as my daily driver, but I’m still a newbie. I would like to selfhost a few apps, initially on a VPS, but I will probably move to a local PC once I diagnose what is broken with my old computer.
Sorry for the little rant here, but I’ve spent years using every one of the high level alternative browsers. Vivaldi, Brave, Waterfox, Librewolf, Opera, Zen, Tor etc. And of course the mainline ones: Chrome and Firefox.
Alright I’m at the end of the rope with my Linux knowledge. So I need your help.
I’m on EndeavourOS and just recently upgraded to Linux 7.1.5, all upgrades thus far have been without issue. I am dual-booting but have Linux on its own SSD, and grub handles booting into Linux or Windows.
Now, after booting into Windows and back into Linux, Linux won’t start.
The error:
A start job is running for /dev/disks/by-uuid/<CORRECT UUID>
On an infrared camera, a warm object normally stands out clearly against cooler surroundings. Researchers have now built a three-dimensional cloak that bends heat around an object, erasing its thermal outline while protecting the space inside from temperature extremes…
Howdy folks, tonight’s ConiferFLOSS Tech & LUG meeting will be at Ripple Pizza and Ice Cream who are running a “pay what you can” in cooperation with Peaceworks, our excellent Conifer community center. Come if you can and share in the free / libre fellowship and excellent pizza and ice cream! If you can’t make it but want to contribute, Peaceworks’ donations page is here.
Google’s Al Overviews now appear in 43% of searches, underscoring how quickly Al-generated answers are becoming the default way people discover information online.
In case you were one of the lucky ones able to snag a free account in the olden days, the terms have changed. Instead of 4 CPU and 24 RAM that you were free to whack up amongst 1-4 VPS, now you got 2 CPU and 12 GB RAM, so either one dual-core VPS or two single-core. If you keep using the old setup beyond a certain date (can’t be bothered to look up when that is) you’ll get billed; at reasonable rates, I’m sure.
Reports that Madison Square Garden temporarily shut off its facial recognition system for Swift’s wedding expose a glaring problem with how the elite wield and control mass surveillance.
My music setup was a pinned browser tab for years. It worked, technically. It also ate RAM doing nothing, my media keys only worked when that tab happened to be focused, and I killed the music at least once a week by closing the wrong window. There’s no official YouTube Music desktop app on Linux, and most of what exists is the same web player in an Electron shell.
Has anyone set up file-sharing, especially torrents or something similar, over freenet? It reminds me of reticulum in that it’s supposedly decentralized, but it looks more technically developed (i.e. not written in python).
