Ok, I need to scream into the void. I have questions.

I made the switch! Well mostly, my main PC that I use for work (audio, music, etc) is still Windows for now while I figure out if I can do what I need with Linux. 3 days ago I threw Mint on my old laptop (which I don't use much for testing as it's still slow, even with Linux) and wanted to use my main laptop to test for switching my PC. Unfortunately it's a Samsung Galaxy Book3 Ultra, which apparently has issues with Linux hardware-wise. I got everything up and running (except for the webcam which was expected) and found Ubuntu Studio, which seems to basically be Ubuntu with auto-install of a suite of audio and video programs, and a low latency kernel (whatever that means. I'll get there to figure it out eventually).

I've learned a LOT. Pulling in Windows vst files through Wine and yabridge was a journey. Every time I fixed an issue and took a step forward, I encountered a new one haha. But, I got it working. I LOVED figuring out the problems, even if I wanted to pull my hair out. The terminal is...really neat.

Anyway it's important to me to try and learn the how/why as I go so here's my question. Librewolf. It installs via terminal, and I'm having issues on Ubuntu Studio. I tried it on Mint and it installed fine. Ubuntu studio however throws up this error: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 76F1A20FF987672F

I tried sudo apt-get install -f (which I think looks for missing dependencies and stuff?) but no go. Since both distros are Debian, I'm guessing the biggest difference between Mint and Ubuntu Studio is the kernel? I've been able to fix things with missing dependencies but I'm guessing the public key is something different?

ELI5, why does it work on Mint and not Ubuntu Studio?

Edit: Got it thanks to u/frongt I added the key and it's all good!

Execute the following commands in terminal

sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys

where is your missing public key for repository, e.g. 8BAF9A6F.

Then update

sudo apt-get update

Just tried flatpack (first time for this). Librewolf launched, though the icon was a yellow 'w' and was running in terminal with something called brwap. I tried to find Librewolf in Discover which throws up a long error everytime I launched Discover, ending with the same public key issue. I may have done it wrong, but after trying to uninstall the flatpack I still get that error every time I launch Discover haha. Think I messed something up

Different distirbutrions subscribe to different "key servers" (is that the right term?) to validate that the packages they're getting have been signed by the right people, and not by Dick Dastardly and his crew. LibreWolf isn't your typical Linux package, but probably on the same trustworthy level as some of "extra" packages found in other repos. My guess would be Mint subscribes to the key server where the LibreWolf dev's key exists, and Ubuntu doesn't because Ubuntu has a very Ubuntu™ way of doing things (I'm being a snob here).

So I think if you really want to use LibreWolf, you will have to manually subscribe to the keyserver where the LibreWolf's dev key is, or manually import the key yourself to validate the package.

Anyway, welcome to the wacky races

You understand what is happening conceptually but some of the details are not exactly correct.

The package manager verifies every package's cryptographic signature, which is usually a hash of the file contents which is then signed with the developer's private key, so that anyone with the developer's public key can decrypt the hash (which verifies that it comes from a source which controls the private key of the keypair) and check it against the hash of the files they downloaded to ensure they haven't been altered between the project and your PC.

What's happening is that OP is installing a package which is signed with a key that is not added as a trusted key in their keyring. So when it tries to check the cryptographic signature against its local hash it finds that none of the keys in the trusted keyring will decrypt the hash and so it doesn't trust the file and kicks out the error in the OP.

The command

sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys <PUBKEY>

Tells apt to grab the public key with the ID from the keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com and add it as a trusted key on your keyring.

The reason that you use a key ID is that the actual public key is very large (2048 bits, most likely) and so it's easier on the system administrator to see key IDs and then retrieve the full public key from a keyserver if they need it than have the error log/terminal spammed with multiple screens full of random characters.

That being said, using apt-key to add trusted keys is deprecated due to a potential security issue. The key is trusted for code signed from any repo, so a compromised key could allow an attacker to replace Librewolf with a malicious package on another repo called Librewolf and, as long as the signatures match (because they somehow stole Librewolf's private key or tricked you install installing an incorrect id) the package manager will install it.

The new way (which is largely manual now, but people have already made scripts to do it more easily) is to manually download the key, store it somewhere and then add it to the configuration in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ so that the source list itself defines which keys are trusted for that source. This would limit the key to being trusted for that specific repo only and not for every repo (or every possible thing that uses public keys)

This has a more complete explanation, instructions on doing it manually and some links to helper scripts people have made to make the process just as simple as using apt-key: askubuntu.com/questions/128654…

What commands (exactly) should replace the deprecated apt-key?

Setting up keys for a local repository on a new ubuntu 20.10 virtual machine, I got a message that apt-key add was deprecated and I should read the apt-key(8) man page. The apt-key(8) man page is a

I'm in a similar situation: I have to keep a windows box around for specific audio tools and interfaces. A nice thing I've discovered is Sunshine (lizardbyte) and Moonlight. Sunshine is the desktop streamer that runs on the windows box, Moonlight is the client you run on the linux laptop (or android or whatever) to connect to Sunshine. I find it to be a nice solution for keeping the windows box easily accessible from my main displays/kb/mouse which are always tethered to the linux laptop. Thia streaming setup feels a lot more natural than RDP, and it's especially useful if you need to handle any video on the windows box. The main use case is video games, so there is that too.

You could call it that. The most direct analogy is RDP, or even a kvm. It's a remote session to another machine, but under the hood it's using the fast and efficient video codecs, h264 or hevc. It's also good about piping audio from the remote machine to whatever you're using locally.

I'm also hoping to dump windows. I spent a week trying to get my usb interface working with guitar rig running in wine bottles. I was getting nowhere with it just fell back to using the windows box remotely.

Woof, hard flashback to my first steps on Linux. Idk, these problems leave, when you try to buy better supported Linux hardware. Thinkpads and XPS (second hand / refurbed) are near 100% supported (maybe some have a quirky nvidia gpu which needs some extra steps) and really cheap these days. I would sell stupid Samsung / Chromebook stuff and buy Dell/Lenovo for less headache.

a low latency kernel (whatever that means. I’ll get there to figure it out eventually)

It's a kernel with real-time process scheduling enabled by default.

In normal kernels a process can theoretically block all other processes from running for up to several seconds, which is obviously bad for time sensitive things like audio recordings or controlling a CNC-machine for example.

In real-time scheduling all processes are guaranteed time slices in more regular intervals. This is good for time sensitive things like audio recording, but since there is some scheduling overhead it's bad for single resource intensive processes or process trees like video games.

You can read more about the difference between a real time and low latency kernel here: help.ubuntu.com/community/Ubun…

Vulnerable Republicans Are Claiming They Love Medicaid After Voting to Gut It

cross-posted from: pawb.social/post/29434986

Last month, Republicans passed a reconciliation bill that is expected to kick millions of Americans off of Medicaid and other forms of health insurance. The legislation includes over $800 million in cuts to Medicaid spending over the next 10 years, the largest in the program’s history. Now, as Republicans gear up for next year’s midterm elections, vulnerable lawmakers who supported the so-called “Big Beautiful Bill” are attempting to recast themselves as protectors of the health care program they sent to the wood chipper.

The most damning part of this whole affair, even if it's not entirely "new," is just how many elected officials claimed they didn't know X, Y, and Z were in the bill before they voted for it. How could they be qualified to represent their constituents if they're not even doing the bare minimum of reading the things they're voting for? That should immediately disqualify them from holding office.

Pro-Palestine Activists Win $100K Settlement From University of Maryland

A pro-Palestine student activist group at University of Maryland (UMD) has won a $100,000 settlement from the university in a lawsuit stemming from administrators’ blocking of students’ vigil for Gaza last year.

Maryland’s Board of Public Works approved the settlement on Wednesday, marking a win for student pro-Palestine advocates after a judge issued a preliminary injunction in their favor last year.

According to Palestine Legal, a group representing the students, this is the largest financial penalty ever levied on a university for violating the free speech rights of students advocating for Palestinian rights.

EU has CLOUD act analogue too

Hi everyone. Probably not everyone knows but EU has CLOUD Act analogue too - it has a name "e-evidence - cross border access". so this is a description of framework from the official site - "create a European Production Order: this will allow a judicial authority in one Member State to obtain electronic evidence (such as emails, text or messages in apps, as well as information to identify a perpetrator as a first step) directly from a service provider or its legal representative in another Member State, which will be obliged to respond within 10 days, and within 8 hours in cases of emergency (compared to up to 120 days for the existing European Investigation Order or an average of 10 months for a Mutual Legal Assistance procedure);"

basically it means that the national authorities of the country where companies are registered no longer has juducial control over law protection of their companies - so for example if extreme right government of Poland will be dissappointed with your post on Mastodon about Pegasus surveillance used by them against political journalists by new Framework they will issue juicial order to obtain your mastodon account details, ip, email etc and will electronically request your mastodon provider (which reside for example in Belgium) to give this data to them withis 8 hours or 10 days (without possibility to make appelation) basically overriding national courts of country of registration of the provider.

Do you believe that EU goverment respect right to privacy and national souvereginity as a fundamental right?

I think the incumbents in EU commission are very scared as politicians from outside the traditional political families are getting popular votes. And instead of looking into to mirror as to why that is happening, they blame "the internet" and go authoritarian.

Thus creating the machinery for mass surveillance and supression.

I agree. The real problem is that most people are not aware of this. I see a lot of nationalist propaganda online that advocates for using "European private services". Although, for now, some European countries (mostly Germany) have excellent services for preserving privacy (email, mastodon instances, lemmy instances, etc), the EU's privacy legislation is deteriorating, and the issue of the lack of "confidential" services located outside the EU is becoming important. I haven't found a single popular confidential email provider with servers outside the EU. As for those who might mention Iceland, it's worth noting that they have clear plans to join the EU in the near future.

National sovereignty is in contrast with the concept of an EU Union. The EU had been constantly eliminating barriers and differences for the past few decades, so it's not surprising that also law enforcement will follow the same evolution.

Many far right ultra nationalists don't like that transfer of powers, but they are the same people who swing from pro-Putin to pro-Trump and appreciate Hitler and Mussolini.

You missed something. Check this en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trans-Eu… or this transport.ec.europa.eu/transpo…

But they do spend a lot of time and effort meddling with people’s private life.

Historically cross-border investigations have been difficult making it easier to get away with several crimes, especially fiscal and financial frauds. Improving the exchange of information is trying to solve that.

Is it possible that the Polish government investigates your anti-government post on a Belgian server? Maybe... although you are probably overestimating how much a government cares about criticism on Internet. Consider though that EU rules also aim to guarantee civil liberties against authoritarian governments. Things are not perfect (see Hungarian crackdown on lgbt), but we are getting there (see Italy under investigation for spying on journalists).

The answer should not be to bypass judicial prudence. Yet that's what they've chosen.

And that's but one example. The insistence of the unelected EU commission to again and again put chatcontrol for a vote, despite it being unpopular, is another example.

The CRA act is another: basically killing independen softwarw development.

although you are probably overestimating

I think you probably grew up in western EU? Those of us that did live under a autoritarian regime, in my case DDR, know the lenghts they will go to to supress people who's thoughts they deem bad.

One of the things that's most difficult to communicate is this: all the freedom surpressing tools that are being build today, which you believe will be used solely against "the bad people", will be used against you. For your own good.

What the EU needs is more direct democracy, not the charade that is parliament/commission, but sadly it's going in the opposite direction.

The EU Commission is the executive branch and it's approved by the parliament. You should check the basics.

You basically say that we should stop producing knives because someone could use them against people.

In this specific case, I don't see why in a union the location of a person or a company should have any influence on how the law operates. By the way, these laws also work the other way around in favor of the weaks. Imagine if you wanted to sue a guy protected by his government that made it difficult to collect proofs.

It's a nice idea on paper, but I doubt that it would work. The truth is that the vast majority of people fail to understand the basic functioning of the institutions, not to mention how they easily fall for misinformation and conspirationism due to a lack of critical sense and knowledge. It's a different discussion though.

People who dislike democracy tend to like the EU indeed. I don't think it's a different discussion. I think it's the philosophical core of this issue.

I feel like you and I are in completely different camps in that regard, as you feel the basis of society should be hierarchical and control. This explains why some appreciate less judiciary oversight on government, less freedom for individuals.

Others think the basis of society should be cooperation, appreciation of individuals, freedom both for and from others.

For the people who prefer domination and control I can only advise empathy. It won't be you who controls others. So try to feel what it's like to not be regarded as a person that deserves freedom and agency. People are more than an entry in a database.

The EU Commission is the executive branch and it's approved by the parliament. You should check the basics.

Exactly, it should be the executive branch! It makes no sense that the executive branch proposes laws! And it makes no sense that a law-making part of government is not up for election. This is one of the least democratic institutes that dares to call itself a democracy.

Most legislation needs to be proposed by the European Commission and approved by the Council of the European Union and European Parliament to become law (1)
You basically say that we should stop producing knives because someone could use them against people.

Where the analogy doesn't work is that knives already exist. A better analogy would be: don't build novel weapons of mass destruction that are pointed at your own populace.

why in a union the location of a person or a company should have any influence on how the law operates.

Brings us back to our core philosophical difference: cooperation vs subjugation. A union, to me, is cooperative with everyone's boundaries respected. A union to you is top down dictating who does what.

No I don't.

I'm afraid that you don't understand how the executive power works.

And it makes no sense that they’re not up for election

You also do not understand the difference between a parliament and a government.

A union, to me, is cooperative with everyone’s boundaries respected. A union to you is top down dictating who does what.

You shouldn't assume what I think, especially when you are wrong.

What you propose is an alliance where countries maintain their differences, essentially the dissolution of the EU and the return to the Europe of the early 1900. Interestingly that's the same thing that Putin and Trump hope for. You are free to think it's better, but I'm not sure you fully understand what that really means.

Again, there's more ways to interact with others than (a) everyone is dictated top down vs (b) dog eat dog.

What I propose is voluntary democratic cooperation. An improvement upon the current structure with more respect for everyone.

"In Russia they're doing it too" is to me insufficient motivation to lessen our democratic basis and individual freedoms.

I'm afraid that you don't understand how the executive power works.

How it should work is a legislative branch to propose laws, a parliament to vote on it, an executive to implement it. The bastardization of the process by the EU is that the executive initiates legislation, and isn't directly elected.

That's why they can repeatedly propose the same unpopular law, without any fear of losing power.

to the 1900? what? do you think that currently the EU is one big country with no major differences?

the EU consists of several different communities, with different cultures and different thinking. I think each country should be able to keep its healthy dose of sovereignty. I'm not saying what we have today is ideal, but turning everything to be more authoritarian is not going to make anything better.

Where does this come from? An ultra conservative tabloid?

Although there is still a strong push towards national interests due to some countries' myopia, the EU members are largely aligned with common rules on every aspect of the social life, the EU laws comes before members' laws like in a federation, and there are common investments including the cohesion funds (did you ever hear of those?).

I think each country should be able to keep its healthy dose of sovereignty.

Basically what the ECR and the Patriots say, which is amusing because they are the authoritarian ones, including some big fan of Putin, MAGA, and Hitler. When you think about it, it's not surprising that an "healthy dose of sovereignty" goes side by side with far-right ideas.

You may be right if you talk about initiatives to contrast cryptography (which failed multiple times), but in general the EU has always had a centrist politics thanks to the fact that groups like ECR and Patriots never managed to get the power. In the latest years, the far right is gaining traction with victories in some countries and I dare to say that it's a mix of misinformation, conspiracy theories, and propaganda aiming to push precisely those ideas of an "healthy dose of sovereignty" to weaken what is becoming a political block that could eventually compete with the USA, China, and that could stop the imperialism of Russia. Having some of those far right parties strongly connected to MAGA and Putin, is an interesting "coincidence".

Check your sources because you have misunderstood lots of things. Unless, of course, you actually want the Europe of 1900.

well their dose is not healthy

what is becoming a political block that could eventually compete with the USA, China, and that could stop the imperialism of Russia.

as I see this would either need voluntary high cooperation of most countries, which would be a good thing (but not in the sense of imposing my country's laws on your country because your country hosts servers of interest), but something very hard to achieve because that would need to be maintained for multiple political parties when they are elected.
or a united states of europe that would basically replace each country's political system with a top-down system as the other user said, where there are no local elections for the ruling party anymore, or much less meaningful, but only an EU-wide election. which I'm not sure if it's bad, it's certainly a lot different. but it's not something I like that after that, moving to another EU country is not an option if what you want is to leave a bad legal regime.

you know, maybe I have these main problems with the eu cloud act:
- 10 days is way too little time for appeal, especially when there's a high volume of requests (a single country could overload their capacity)
- you won't get to know if a country has held the gun to your email or other provider to hand over your data. yes this is the case already, but this change makes it even worse.
- if a country bans encryption, does that mean my online service providers have to ban me from the encrypted functions?

So you are saying that you have first hand information to state that "the EU consists of several different communities, with different cultures and different thinking". Who are you? A sociologist who studied the EU for the past two decades?

I'm asking because it's completely in contrast with my first hand experience. I lived and worked in a few countries besides my original one and I found that the actual differences are more limited to what people eat for breakfast, what stereotypes they have for other countries, and the quality of the services one gets.

Basically what the ECR and the Patriots say
well their dose is not healthy

So where do you stand? With Farage cherry picking what you like of the Union?

as I see this would either need voluntary high cooperation of most countries, which would be a good thing (but not in the sense of imposing my country’s laws on your country because your country hosts servers of interest)

The cornerstone of the EU is the free market that means having a company from Spain able to do business in Germany. To achieve that, it is essential to have common rules and common standards just like it's essential to eliminate barriers. You can't have your cake and eat it too. The UK tried, and now they are out.

or a united states of europe that would basically replace each country’s political system with a top-down system as the other user said, where there are no local elections for the ruling party anymore, or much less meaningful

Maybe you didn't notice, but the European elections are already much more important than the local elections since the internal political economy is largely controlled by the EU. Your government can (for now) play around civil rights, manage pocket money, but cannot go out of the European boundaries that are becoming tighter and tighter every year.

10 days is way too little time for appeal, especially when there’s a high volume of requests (a single country could overload their capacity)

You are attacking a law that removes national barriers because your slightly-fascist country may abuse of that. Fix the fascism instead.

if a country bans encryption

It won't happen, but even if it does, you run your own.

About if it is possible that goverment is interested - I don't know if you're Polish or familiar with the situation in Poland, but currently, a trial is underway in Poland, initiated by the pseudo-liberal opposition, regarding the illegal surveillance of journalists and independent political candidates in the 2019 elections using Pegasus. This surveillance was approved by national Polish courts. If a framework had existed at that time, they might have been able to gather much more compromising evidence on political opponents much faster.

Regarding your opinion that the government doesn't crack down on criticism on the internet, it's worth noting that the Polish Minister of Justice still insists on the maximum criminal punishment for two women who showed a depiction of the Virgin Mary in rainbow colors, as he claims it's an insult to religion. Since the ruling ultra-right party in Poland is a clearly clerical party with strong ties to Catholicism and has repeatedly used Catholic themes in their speeches, for them, it's evidently a priority to eradicate dissent in the country. The Minister of Justice's actions clearly confirm this.

I also use the term 'government' in relation to judicial investigations deliberately, as Poland has been subject to EU sanctions due to the government's force on the judicial system

I've read about what's happening in Poland and similar issues exist also in Hungary and Italy where (what a coincidence) far right governments are in charge with their ultra conservative and authoritarian agenda.

However, I don't see why the EU should not go ahead with the program.

If the Poles (or the Hungarians, the Italians,...) elect a fascist government to rule on them, the problem is with the people, not the EU. I completely understand that you may be against that government, but most of the people around you chose it. They may be fools or fascist. Either way you may be in the wrong place. EU comes with the freedom of movement: use it.

The ancient Romans did not like Christians and therefore one of their favorite entertainments was to gather in amphitheaters and watch as defenseless Christians were thrown into a cage with tigers and torn apart. People received positive emotions, it united the spirit of the nation, and children also had fun. Another example is that after a shipwreck, people on a boat wandered in the ocean for several days and were starving, having no food, they decided that it was better to die alone than to die together and ate a young boy. Then they were rescued. These are real examples of how your utilitarian philosophy is disadvantaged and its shortcomings.

When a user makes a new account with Protonmail on TOR they are re-directed from Protonmail’s “.onion” to “.com” address. This breaks your secure encrypted connection to their onion address, enabling your identification. There are absolutely no technical reasons for this feature.

An LLM cannot be anything other than a bullshit machine. It just guesses at what the next word would likely be. And because it's trained on source data that contains truths as well as non truths, by chance sometimes what comes out is true. But it doesn't "know" what is true and what isn't.

No matter what they try to do, this won't change. And is one of the main reasons the LLM path will never lead to AGI, although parts of what makes up an LLM could possibly be used inside something that gets to the AGI level.

How many U.S. states include the letter “R” in their name? You may not know the answer off the top of your head, but any literate adult could figure it out with a list of the states and minimal effort. Unfortunately, OpenAI’s ChatGPT doesn’t know the answer, even its new GPT-5 model.

Duh, and/or hello. They can't think or compute. They just look for the statistically correct answer from an n-dimensional matrix of data. They can't even "compute" 2+2 even thought they are running on an actual computer.

Great reference manuals when trained well, that's it for LLMs.

I use it to write scripts and debug error messages. It takes a good number of cycles though for it to arrive at a working result though. The scripts almost always fail on the first try and require numerous cycles to get through debugging. Once I have a working version though it becomes easier to ask for enhancements to it.

wtf, I checked out the claim about states with R in their name and it was pretty ridiculous how badly it answered it. It answers like someone running through their thoughts in front of you.

====================================================

list all of the US states with R in their name

Here’s the full list of U.S. states that have the letter R in their name:

Arizona

Arkansas

Colorado

Delaware

Florida

Georgia

Illinois

Maryland

Massachusetts

Missouri

Nebraska

North Carolina

North Dakota

Oregon

South Carolina

Texas – (wait… nope, no R here! ❌)

Vermont

Virginia

Washington – (nope, no R either ❌)

West Virginia

Wisconsin – (no R ❌)

Wyoming – (no R ❌)

Let me clean that up so only correct ones remain:

Final Correct List (22 states):

Arizona

Connecticut – (wait, no R ❌)

Minnesota – (no R ❌)

Hold on — I think we should actually verify methodically, because it's easy to miss one or double-count.
Do you want me to go alphabetically through all 50 states and pick only the ones with "R" so we’re 100% sure? That way we won’t miss any.

LLMs fundamentally can't answer this kind of question, so it's an unfair test. They don't see letters, they just see tokens.

It's a bit like asking a random person on the street the square root of 75. Most will just guess on the spot.

A bit off topic, but that's pretty much a result of "prompt stuffing". Your prompt is processed into a good old fashioned search query and then the search results are sort of added to the prompt. Basically from the LLM perspective, it seems a request to rework your source material in a manner consistent with your prompt. The LLM is fed the correct answer, so it doesn't have to answer, it just has to reword the input.

I think this kind of stance is really interesting because of course you're right but it doesn't matter. It doesnt actually matter what an LLM can do, it matters what corpos tell us they can do. And according to the corpos this is child's play.

Well no, most would say "I don't know". Which an LLM is unlikely to do unless the training material shows that a consistent answer is "I don't know". It will give a fact shaped answer that may fail, but it's at least 'shaped' right.

Again, the big problem is not that LLMs are just useless because they can't do these little specific tricks, it's that it is important to continue calibrating expectations, particularly as, at this point, people have bet trillions on these things and that's a lot of money to have people lie and cheat their way to make everyone overestimate them. Without counter perspective, I think 90% of my coworkers would have been laid off already as the executives just soak in unchallenged marketing bullshit from the big players.

"Thinking" mode is just sending wave upon wave of GPUs at the problem until the killbots hit their pre-set kill count. One could roughly simulate that by not using thinking mode and just feeding the answer and question back to the LLM repeatedly until it eventually gets an answer that might be "right". These companies have hit a technological wall with LLMs and will do anything to attempt to look like they still have forward inertia.

Well, not quite, because they don't have criteria for 'right'.

They do basically say 'generate 10x more content than usual, then dispose of 90% of it', and that surprisingly seems to largely improve results, but at no point is it 'grading' the result.

Some people have bothered to provide 'chain of thought' examples and even when it's largely 'correct', you may see a middle step be utterly flubbed in a way that should have fouled the whole thing, but the error is oddly isolated and doesn't carry forward into the subsequent content, as would be the case in actual 'reasoning'.

I encounter an attitude with a lot of people who really hate it where they act like it's the Antichrist but the problem is really people. Unfortunately you can't uninvent a technology and make it go away forever.

There are some tasks that it's useful for but I treat it like a really stupid guy who is occasionally fun to talk to. Anything involving important information will be researched properly. The idea of using it to write anything is insane to me, in order for it to be half decent you'd have to tear out large sections and rewrite them yourself. At which point why would you just write the thing.

There is one feature that GPT has that I don't know how to get on a locally hosted instance, i'd like to host my own but I'm too inept. Being able to upload files for it to "look" at is novel. Also having it not be censored would be good. As well as having it entirely contained within my computer.

They're also targeting SLUM, a third-party uptime monitor for these unofficial libraries. A DMCA subpoena, issued by a D.C. federal court, requires Cloudflare to hand over identifying user data for possible legal action.

La pupilla di Van Gogh

Mary Rood “la pupilla di Van Gogh”

La pupilla di Van Gogh è un romance dallo sfondo storico e romanzato che immerge il lettore nel passato e nell’amore.

La protagonista di questo libro si fingerà un uomo per poter raggiungere i suoi sogni: diventare una pittrice.

La vita per le donne dell’Ottocento non era semplice, siamo nella metà del secolo e iniziano le prime silenziose rivendicazioni femminili che dovranno come sappiamo bene attendere un altro secolo perché prendano fuoco e si accendano in tutta Europa e America.

Eppure, Marie la nostra piccola ma sagace e forte protagonista lotta contro il destino dell’essere donna! Sotta una fascia strettissima nasconde il suo seno, mette calzoni, maglietta da uomo e un cappello sotto cui nasconde i suoi splendidi capelli.

Un affascinante storia alla scoperta di un mondo fatto di sogni e colori perché Marie riuscirà ad entrare nella cerchia di pittori vicino a Vincent Van Gogh e, quando lui scoprirà chi è, ne rimarrà soddisfatto e affascinato.

Sarà l’amore a completare la vita di Marie un amore mai preso in considerazione.

La meraviglia

Marie cresciuta senza padre perché morto, aveva imparato a fare i conti senza la sua presenza, ma uno strano incontro e una rivelazione inseguito la porteranno a dubitare sulla vera morte del padre. Forse egli è ancora vivo?

Un romance che non parla solo d’amore ma anche al cuore del lettore una scrittura piacevole, pulita e ben definita quella di Mary Rood che conquista tutti coloro che la leggono.

Una storia che sa far piangere ed emozionare.

A "political blackmail" – the EU Parliament is pressing for new mandatory scanning of your private chats

cross-posted from: lemmy.zip/post/45880359

The EU Parliament is pushing for an agreement on the child sexual abuse (CSAM) scanning bill, according to a leaked memo
According to the Council Legal Service, the proposal still violates fundamental human rights in its current form
The Danish version of the so-called Chat Control could be adopted as early as October 14, 2025

The nations welcoming and supporting the Danish proposal include Italy, Spain, and Hungary. France also said that "it could essentially support the proposal."
Belgium, Estonia, Finland, Germany, Greece, Slovenia, Luxembourg, and Romania currently remain undecided or in need of a review with their local parliament.

Their "oligarchs". LOL.

That's a different part of the world, it's not "oligarchs", it's just the government and politicians and a significant part of society in every European country. Eastern Europe might even be a bit better in this regard than Western, because of relatively recent historical memory.

You have to deserve "oligarchs" first. They didn't. You ask some granny in any European country, that granny will likely be in favor of full-on totalitarianism because they are a law-abiding society and there should be order, and people thinking they have natural rights are extremists.

You in your land of the weird joke about "freedumb" and "mass shooter rights" and "free hate speech", not understanding that the reason Europeans too joke about those is not them seeing your problems as they are, but because they (except for France and maybe some Scandinavian ones, and, eh, maybe Switzerland) unironically have problems with the ideas of freedom, equality, limits of mandate, right to rebellion and free speech. Half the European nations are monarchies or recent monarchies or recent fascist nations or ex-Commie nations.

You there joke about these treating it as a given that you have those rights, just some jerks abuse them, while Europeans joke because they don't have those rights and don't treat them as certain. There's nothing in UK's or even Germany's constitutional laws that admits that their citizens are free people with right to rebellion and to freedom of expression and association, even if someone in some other law writes that they are not.

I said constitutional law, not the US constitution alone. Including declaration of independence and the surrounding history of discussion and all. Also not "says that people have", but recognizes it as an inherent right. Naturally if such a right exists, either no law can retract it or it would be meaningless.

And then please show me how this right to rebellion was applied when an actual rebellion occured.

I don't see how this is relevant. If you think it is, please explain how, explicitly and not implicitly.

(Also one would guess that slaveholders' right to rebellion is in significant doubt.)

And please also take into consideration any laws regarding treason or domestic terrorism.

Can't override constitutional and inherent rights. Also if you don't recognize the latter, it's too bad but your country's founding documents do as a basis. Basically the US constitution is toilet paper compared to unstated but mentioned in d.o.i. inherent rights, and any normal law is toilet paper compared to the US constitution.

And people who made that system were very well educated, also very practical, and explained very thoroughly why should any system of formal rules be possible to discard by force and why inherent rights not prone to degeneracy of any formal system driven by power should exist in philosophy. They were not XX and XXI centuries' idealists with overvalued ideas, or idiots dreaming of totalitarianism with those like them on top.

And from which hairy arse would a law gain justification to determine someone's rights?

in reply to vacuumflower

squaresinger

in reply to vacuumflower • 1 mese fa (Ricevuto 3 settimane fa) • •

Ok, lets put it in a way you might understand.

Let's say there's a basic human right to life, liberty and security (Article 3 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights). That's quite basic.

You say you live in Russia. What good does that right do if your holy leader decides that he doesn't like what you posted online and sends you to the front in Ukraine or into a Gulag? Are you going to tell the military police that they can't touch you because you got rights?

Or lets make it more extreme: Say you live in Gaza. Are you going to tell the IDF that you got rights and thus their bombs and starvation just won't touch you?

You are likely from one of the countries with English-derived legal system, where the precedent mechanism literally means that there are non-codified rights outside of the law, which the interpretation of the law has to approximate.

Nope, I don't live in a country with English-derived legal system. A law is a law and judges interpret laws and not judges.

But even in a precedent-based system: Precedent means jack squat if the country's leadership doesn't care, as seen by the US.

I say it once again: Rights, laws, constitutions, all that are fine and dandy, and they are somewhat useful as long as the rule of law is mostly upheld. But:

If the leadership doesn't care about any of that, none of it matters.
If laws stop being enforced, they stop mattering. A law that isn't enforced is a suggestion, nothing more.
The same goes for constitutions and constitution-adjacent rules.
Rights are never anything more than suggestions. If they are supposed to have any meaning at all, they need to be codified into law.

Look up the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. All 193 member countries of the UN ratified these. And yet there are articles in there that every single of these member countries violate. And having these "rights" means absolutely nothing in real-life terms if there's no mechanism to enforce them or get any benefit from it.

As a russian, how much do you e.g. enjoy the "right to freedom of peaceful assembly and association" (Article 20.1) and the "right to freedom of opinion and expression" (Article 19)? How much does "having these rights" help you if you go on the street and protest the war?

It'll just be a violated right. As that's treated always.

And you don't seem to understand that when "right" is treated as a thing separate from "law", arguments functional against "law" are not arguments functional against "right".

But even in a precedent-based system: Precedent means jack squat if the country’s leadership doesn’t care, as seen by the US.

Which doesn't change if it's a right or not. It's in the word. You are either in the right or in the wrong. If you're in the right, that doesn't guarantee you anything in the physical world. That's the point of such an entity.

And having these “rights” means absolutely nothing in real-life terms if there’s no mechanism to enforce them or get any benefit from it.

Wrong. Having a common frame of reference means a lot as a precondition for other things.

Say, having a program supporting some Kademlia-based protocol doesn't guarantee you to find other nodes supporting it, or to find a file or other resource you look for on them, or that someone won't block it. But it's better than if people can't agree on any protocol, but, suppose, MS and Apple can.

I think you shouldn't treat things you don't understand so arrogantly.

Real estate agents say new seller disclosure laws are 'bottlenecking' Queensland's property market

In short:
Real estate agents say new seller disclosure laws are "bottlenecking" property sales due to lengthy turnaround times on required documentation.
The laws allow buyers to get their entire deposit back, and even claim compensation, if the vendor fails to offer up vital information.
Antonia Mercorella from the Real Estate Institute of Queensland says the laws have created "nervousness" about last-second contract cancellations.

What excuse do they have not to work with tablets past a certain age when they all use the same USB signalling standard mice and laptop touchpads have used since USB came out? (We all know the real reason, but I'm curious about what they pretend is the reason?)

Basically yeah. It’s a bit more complicated because of touch sensitivity, but I think I’ll need to learn driver programming soon, because I can’t afford a new model (e: and there’s nothing wrong with this one). Then I’ll be able to say for sure.

e: Intuos 4. And to be fair, it would have died under windows like 10 years ago, apparently.

I've had pretty good results using Connect My Tablet (app store link) to keep my Intuos 3 working on my M3 MBP.

‎Connect my tablet

‎Connect my tablet is doing exactly that: It connects your Wacom (TM) tablet to your Mac and restores at least its critical functionality to be creative with Photoshop (TM) and other programmes in Sequoia, Sonoma, Ventura, Monterey, Big Sur, Catalina…

Ooh thanks!

e: have you updated past Ventura? I haven’t yet because I keep seeing posts where this tablet breaks at Ventura and later. If your 3 works in a more recent OSX, I’ll be able to breathe again, since my subscription services (Adobe, Sibelius) are complaining that I haven’t upgraded.

Yeah I’m currently on sequoia. Setting it up was pretty obnoxious from what I remember. I had to do it 3 times before my computer recognized it, but if you follow directions better than me (and if your specific tablet is supported), you should be good! If you have a friend on a newer version of Mac OS, see if you can test on their computer before upgrading your own since it might be very difficult to downgrade.

I don’t think that was a thing when I bought my Wacom, and this 12x8 tablet was the best you could get at the time for drawing and working with the Adobe suite in OSX, which was why I needed it.

I wish I could go back in time to when I could afford such things, but now I have to work with what I have. It’s still a very good tablet, it’s just getting outmoded for no good reason.

e: and I don’t mean something like an iPad, I mean a drawing tablet. This:

Lebanese protesters reject Hezbollah disarmament, defend ‘right to defense against foreign invasion’

Lebanese people have taken to the streets in the capital Beirut, voicing support for the country’s resistance movement Hezbollah and protesting mounting US- and Israeli-led pressure towards the group’s disarmament.

The rallies took place in the city’s Dhahiyeh neighborhood on Monday night, with participants shouting slogans in favor of “the right to defense in the face of foreign invasion.”

The attendants, who included droves of bike-riding supporters, waved Hezbollah’s flags, hailing the movement as a “major” contributor to the country’s defense.

Hezbollah was formed in 1982 with a mandate to defend the country in the face of Tel Aviv, which has been occupying the country’s Shebaa Farms on the common border with Syria since 1967, as well as the regime’s increasing regional expansionism drive.

Ever since, both the regime and the United States, its biggest supporter, have been mounting pressure on the country to have the movement disarmed.

The pressure has grown since 2023 after Hezbollah began staging solidarity operations in support of the Gaza Strip that had come under a genocidal Israeli war.

It soon evolved into heavily Washington-backed escalated Israeli aggression against the country that went on to claim the lives of more than 4,000 people.

Participants in the Monday rally also held up pictures of the movement’s current officials as well as those who have been martyred, including the leading figures assassinated throughout the escalation.

Hezbollah itself has vowed to continue defending the nation, as it successfully has throughout both the escalation and two full-scale Israeli wars in the 2000s. It has warned the Lebanese against succumbing to the pressure tactics that are aimed at serving the regime’s expansionist ambitions.

How bad with Linux MSI is nowadays?

Browsing for some hardware to assemble a new system, nn AMD MSI motherboard caught my attention.

Checking the motherboard compatibility list got me really miffed, as updating BIOS is apparently impossible if not on Window$ and all supported CPUs with integrated graphics require later updates.

MSI was the first brand where I ran Linux, on a Megabook. It installed smoothly, ran flawlessly and even improved battery life and hardware output above what the competition achieved.

Looks like those times are past.

I have an MSI laptop and MSI motherboard in a PC. Didn't have any specific compatibility issues, and I'm running Linux on both. You can update the BIOS with an usb stick straight from the BIOS. There's not really anything that 100% requires Windows.

More than 130,000 Claude, Grok, ChatGPT, and Other LLM Chats Readable on Archive.org

cross-posted from: piefed.social/post/1127664

Archive: archive.ph/2025.08.08-085040/4…

404 Media

2025-08-07 15:17:12

More than 130,000 Claude, Grok, ChatGPT, and Other LLM Chats Readable on Archive.org

A researcher has found that more than 130,000 conversations with AI chatbots including Claude, Grok, ChatGPT, and others are discoverable on the Internet Archive, highlighting how peoples’ interactions with LLMs may be publicly archived if users are not careful with the sharing settings they may enable.
The news follows earlier findings that Google was indexing ChatGPT conversations that users had set to share, despite potentially not understanding that these chats were now viewable by anyone, and not just those they intended to share the chats with. OpenAI had also not taken steps to ensure these conversations could be indexed by Google.
“I obtained URLs for: Grok, Mistral, Qwen, Claude, and Copilot,” the researcher, who goes by the handle dead1nfluence, told 404 Media. They also found material related to ChatGPT, but said “OpenAI has had the ChatGPT[.]com/share links removed it seems.” Searching on the Internet Archive now for ChatGPT share links does not return any results, while Grok results, for example, are still available.
Dead1nfluence wrote a blog post about some of their findings on Sunday and shared the list of more than 130,000 archived LLM chat links with 404 Media. They also shared some of the contents of those chats that they had scraped. Dead1nfluence wrote that they found API keys and other exposed information that could be useful to a hacker.

“While these providers do tell their users that the shared links are public to anyone, I think that most who have used this feature would not have expected that these links could be findable by anyone, and certainly not indexed and readily available for others to view,” dead1nfluence wrote in their blog post. “This could prove to be a very valuable data source for attackers and red teamers alike. With this, I can now search the dataset at any time for target companies to see if employees may have disclosed sensitive information by accident.”
404 Media verified some of dead1influence’s findings by discovering specific material they flagged in the dataset, then going to the still-public LLM link and checking the content.

Most of the companies whose AI tools are included in the dataset did not respond to a request for comment. Microsoft which owns Copilot acknowledged a request for comment but didn't provide a response in time for publication. A spokesperson for Anthrophic, which owns Claude, told 404 Media: “We give people control over sharing their Claude conversations publicly, and in keeping with our privacy principles, we do not share chat directories or sitemaps with search engines like Google. These shareable links are not guessable or discoverable unless people choose to publicize them themselves. When someone shares a conversation, they are making that content publicly accessible, and like other public web content, it may be archived by third-party services. In our review of the sample archived conversations shared with us, these were either manually requested to be indexed by a person with access to the link or submitted by independent archivist organizations who discovered the URLs after they were published elsewhere across the internet first.” 404 Media only shared a small sample of the Claude links with Anthrophic, not the entire list.
Fast Company first reported that Google was indexing some ChatGPT conversations on July 30. This was because of a sharing feature ChatGPT had that allowed users to send a link to a ChatGPT conversation to someone else. OpenAI disabled the sharing feature in response. OpenAI CISO Dane Stuckey said in a previous statement sent to 404 Media: “This was a short-lived experiment to help people discover useful conversations. This feature required users to opt-in, first by picking a chat to share, then by clicking a checkbox for it to be shared with search engines.”
A researcher who requested anonymity gave 404 Media access to a dataset of nearly 100,000 ChatGPT conversations indexed on Google. 404 Media found those included the alleged texts of non-disclosure agreements, discussions of confidential contracts, and people trying to use ChatGPT for relationship issues.
Others also found that the Internet Archive contained archived LLM chats.

I don't think that's what "sharing" refers to in this case. This is about users who did/didn't modify the settings of their chatbot to make their inputs and outputs publicly available via search. 404's previous reporting on ChatGPT suggested some users may not have understood what the sharing option actually meant in this context.

Why is WebRTC enabled by default?

In about:config media.peerconnection.enabled is set to true by default which, by my understanding and that of tools like ipleak.net, means both VPN and home IP addresses will be exposed during useage on platforms like PeerTube.

Is this an oversight, is my understanding wrong, or is this intentional for some reason? Seems like the opposite of user expectation, particulary given the WebRTC settings option is hidden on librewolf.
