disegni picrossici con miku, fuori dal telefono escono sorprese (asset rip giochino Mikulogi)
Prima (cioè, l’altro ieri, ormai si sa come va la roba qui) ho voluto estrarre gli asset da un giochino che ho sul telefono (forse il più gustoso che ho lì, a dire il vero), Hatsune Miku Logic Paint… cioè la fusione delle mie due più grandi passioni — almeno, dopo il rotting, l’avere segreti, ed un’altra che non dirò. Difatti, il Picross con Miku è alquanto sfizioso, ma prenderne i file per altri usi lo è ancora di più, e nel farlo si scoprono svariate cose. 🤗Innanzitutto, il gioco è fatto in Unity; chi mai lo avrebbe potuto immaginare? È buono però, perché è bastato dare in pasto ad AssetRipper la cartella estratta dall’APK per ottenere tutti i bei PNG, la musica, e… tutte le griglie dei puzzle in formato TXT (con 0 per indicare caselle vuote, 1 quelle piene, e virgole per fare da padding), evviva!!! (Oltre ad altri metadati in CSV, come i nomi dei puzzle e stringhe varie.) Questi torneranno sicuramente utili per fare una cosa che per motivi octosi non voglio spoilerare (e che per motivi legali non potrei fare, ma dalle cose octose non deriva mai lucro, quindi me ne sbatto il mikuleek). 🤪
Poi, però, ho visto una cosa meno divertente… tutti, e dico tutti, gli asset grafici, proprio gli elementi UI, sono rovinati dalla compressione, almeno in qualche misura! Ci sono ovunque piccoli artefatti di compressione che, a dire il vero, giocando sul telefono non si notano, ma che sono così evidenti anche solo ficcando il naso tra i file, senza zommare chissà quanto per alcuni, che sono pronta a scommettere che giocando sul mio tablet da 10 pollici li vedrei. (Attenzione, sono pronta a scommettere ma non a provare, mi secco ampiamente.) La cosa bella è che sono tutti PNG, non JPEG o WEBP o VFFNCL, quindi… a meno che non sia AssetRipper ad averli forzati in PNG, chi ha lavorato al gioco non è proprio del mestiere. Persino in una manciata di file che nel nome hanno “Uncompressed” (come questo) trovo artefatti, anche se non di tipo JPEG classico. 😪
Insomma, lo hanno fatto un pochino sciatto questo coso… e a dire il vero forse torna tutto, vedendo le altre sviste di design che ci sono, come la musica che si ripete ad appena qualche secondo, cosa che da alquanto sui nervi, o che completando i picross si sbloccano delle immaginine dei vocaloid (con nessun tasto per condividere o boh, impostare come sfondo) anch’esse molto compresse (e per queste si, lo si nota anche dal telefono). Lato codice francamente penso sia ben fatto, perché bug non ne ho trovati e la UX è ben rifinita… anche se una svista pure lì c’è, e cioè che lo stato in corso di un livello non è salvato se non premendo indietro; in altre parole, se blocco lo schermo del telefono per qualche minuto, e quindi la MIUI di merda uccide la app, quando vado per continuare devo puntualmente ricominciare da capo, perché ho scordato di chiudere per bene. 😶Boh, veramente boh, però comunque è un giochino okei. Ha 25 puzzle 5×5, 25 10×10, 100 15×15, e 4 compositi di 25 puzzle 25×25, quindi per chi ha 2,79€ in punti premio Google da spendere (“oggi offre Alphabet“) consiglio di provarlo… altrimenti, per i pirati c’è l’APK… o, ancora altrimenti, per gli octosi c’è—NO SPOILER! (E per chi vuole semplicemente frugare tra gli asset, come si nota in foto li ho caricati su Pignio, su pignio.octt.eu.org/item/mikulo…… e si, dovrei sia aggiungere un tasto per scaricare un’intera cartella come ZIP, che in generale migliorare la vista delle cartelle supportando le sottocartelle, ma per ora godetevi il miscuglio disordinato e pace.) 👾

Trump shooting and Biden exit flipped social media from hostility to solidarity: how political crises cause a shift in the force behind viral online content ‘from outgroup hate to ingroup love’.
The University of Cambridge’s Social Decision-Making Lab collected over 62,000 public posts from the Facebook accounts of hundreds of US politicians, commentators and media outlets before and after these events to see how they affected online behaviour.*“We wanted to understand the kinds of content that went viral among Republicans and Democrats during this period of high tension for both groups,” said Malia Marks, PhD candidate in Cambridge’s Department of Psychology and lead author of the study, published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
“Negative emotions such as anger and outrage along with hostility towards opposing political groups are usually rocket fuel for social media engagement. You might expect this to go into hyperdrive during times of crisis and external threat.”
“However, we found the opposite. It appears that political crises evoke not so much outgroup hate but rather ingroup love,” said Marks.
Just after the Trump assassination attempt, Republican-aligned posts signalling unity and shared identity received 53% more engagement than those that did not – an increase of 17 percentage points compared to just before the shooting.
These included posts such as evangelist Franklin Graham thanking God that Donald Trump is alive, and Fox News commentator Laura Ingraham posting: “Bleeding and unbowed, Trump faces relentless attacks yet stands strong for America. This is why his followers remain passionately loyal.”
At the same time, engagement levels for Republican posts attacking the Democrats saw a decrease of 23 percentage points from just a few days earlier.
After Biden suspended his re-election campaign, Democrat-aligned posts expressing solidarity received 91% more engagement than those that did not – a major increase of 71 percentage points over the period shortly before his withdrawal.
Posts included former US Secretary of Labor Robert Reich calling Biden “one of our most pro-worker presidents”, and former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi posting that Biden’s “legacy of vision, values and leadership make him one of the most consequential Presidents in American history.”
Biden’s withdrawal saw the continuation of a gradual rise in engagement for Democrat posts attacking Republicans – although over the 25 July days covered by the analysis almost a quarter of all conservative posts displayed “outgroup hostility” compared to just 5% of liberal posts.

Chinese Hackers Hijack Web Traffic to Spy on Foreign Diplomats
cross-posted from: programming.dev/post/36349920
In March 2025, Google Threat Intelligence Group (GTIG) identified a complex, multifaceted campaign attributed to the PRC-nexus threat actor UNC6384. The campaign targeted diplomats in Southeast Asia and other entities globally. GTIG assesses this was likely in support of cyber espionage operations aligned with the strategic interests of the People's Republic of China (PRC).The campaign hijacks target web traffic, using a captive portal redirect, to deliver a digitally signed downloader that GTIG tracks as STATICPLUGIN. This ultimately led to the in-memory deployment of the backdoor SOGU.SEC (also known as PlugX). This multi-stage attack chain leverages advanced social engineering including valid code signing certificates, an adversary-in-the-middle (AitM) attack, and indirect execution techniques to evade detection.
This blog post presents our findings and analysis of this espionage campaign, as well as the evolution of the threat actor’s operational capabilities. We examine how the malware is delivered, how the threat actor utilized social engineering and evasion techniques, and technical aspects of the multi-stage malware payloads.
In this campaign, the malware payloads were disguised as either software or plugin updates and delivered through UNC6384 infrastructure using AitM and social engineering tactics. A high level overview of the attack chain:
1. The target’s web browser tests if the internet connection is behind a captive portal;
2. An AitM redirects the browser to a threat actor controlled website;
3. The first stage malware, STATICPLUGIN, is downloaded;
4. STATICPLUGIN then retrieves an MSI package from the same website;
5. Finally, CANONSTAGER is DLL side-loaded and deploys the SOGU.SEC backdoor.

“Google says it has calculated the energy required for its Gemini AI service: Sending a single text prompt consumes as much energy as watching television for nine seconds.”
That's pretty staggering when you consider that it's no longer possible to do a Google search without generating an AI summary. Google processes something like 8 billion searches per day, so if each one of those triggers a prompt equivalent to watching 9 seconds of television, every day the total power cost is equivalent to about 2200 years of TV watching. Per day. And that's just search, for just one tech company.

A fine isnt enough. This platform needs to be permanently shutdown.
This place is breeding grounds for morons, bigots, predators, and other social rejects, and it lets all of them continue thriving. By no comprehensible measure should that be normal, but somehow it is.
But I don't understand why don't they go after the abusers, instead of imposing a fine to the platform. This looks like a criminal case, it's not just a matter that should be left in the hands of the platform to begin with.. so why focus on blaming the platform?
Someone got bullied so hard they died, and the response is to simply ban them and then punish the platform? It sounds like an approach designed by lawyers who just want to make money, instead of actually an attempt to fix/correct the problem.
It's like blaming the email provider for allowing the exchange of messages and video files in a mailing group that was organizing crime.. instead of actually investigating the people who committed the crime and enacting laws / setting precedent that could act as deterrent, independently of which channel was used while committing the crime. Then punish the platform if they are not collaborating or if they are found to be complicit (while investigating the criminals).

Revenue != profit
Depending on margins, it can make a company unprofitable pretty quick if they're hit by a fine of nearly 30% of their revenue.
I mean, Kick probably could be suspending people who stream for an unhealthily long time, maybe suspend his abusive friends, but they didn't force him to take any actions resulting in his death imo.
What exactly is the crime?
Yes. I saw a video on getting around Flock's AI cameras and he mentions the numerous million dollar lawsuits that regularly result from misuse of their data and the glitches that cause people to have guns pointed at their heads by police.
It is a cost of doing business. Saying 'I'll sue you!' To them is as threatening as charging someone a little extra for that order of coffee they made.

Emilio Estevez, Martin Sheen – „Dein Weg“ (2010)
Der einzige Grund für mich, diesen Film zu sehen, war die Konstellation: Martin Sheen vor der Kamera, Emilio Estevez dahinter. Vater und Sohn, die gemeinsam einen Film schaffen, so direkt und sichtbar, ist eine Seltenheit in Hollywood. Der Jakobsweg dagegen wirkte eher wie eine Zumutung. Überstrapaziert von Selbsterfahrungsberichten, überhöht von Kirchenfolklore, in Deutschland endgültig re-popularisiert durch Hape Kerkelings Bestseller. Ein Trend, der mich eher abschreckt. Zumal mir meine ziemlich katholische Kindheit ohnehin wenig Lust auf Pilgerwege hinterlassen hat. (ARD)

- As init for a Linux initramfs
- As init for a Linux container (Docker/Podman/LXC/Kubernetes)
- As unprivileged supervision daemon on POSIX systems
Nitro is configured by a directory of scripts, defaulting to /etc/nitro (or the first command line argument).

AI Is Eliminating Jobs for Younger Workers: New research from Stanford provides the clearest available evidence that AI is reshaping the workforce—but it’s complicated.
This paper examines changes in the labor market for occupations exposed to generative
artificial intelligence using high-frequency administrative data from the largest payroll software
provider in the United States. We present six facts that characterize these shifts. We find that
since the widespread adoption of generative AI, early-career workers (ages 22-25) in the most
AI-exposed occupations have experienced a 13 percent relative decline in employment even after
controlling for firm-level shocks. In contrast, employment for workers in less exposed fields and
more experienced workers in the same occupations has remained stable or continued to grow.
We also find that adjustments occur primarily through employment rather than compensation.
Furthermore, employment declines are concentrated in occupations where AI is more likely to
automate, rather than augment, human labor. Our results are robust to alternative explanations,
such as excluding technology-related firms and excluding occupations amenable to remote work.
These six facts provide early, large-scale evidence consistent with the hypothesis that the AI
revolution is beginning to have a significant and disproportionate impact on entry-level workers
in the American labor market.

- The latest variant of Anatsa targets over 831 financial institutions worldwide, adding new countries like Germany and South Korea, as well as cryptocurrency platforms.
- Anatsa streamlined payload delivery by replacing dynamic code loading of remote Dalvik Executable (DEX) payloads with direct installation of the Anatsa payload.
- Anatsa implemented Data Encryption Standard (DES) runtime decryption and device-specific payload restrictions.
- Many of the decoy Antasta applications have individually exceeded 50,000 downloads.
- Alongside Anatsa, ThreatLabz identified and reported 77 malicious apps from various malware families to Google, collectively accounting for over 19 million installs.

tween daughter has adhd, easily falls into tiktok brainrot hellholes. Has trouble with self-regulation and self-control.... I still want her to have music to listen to and do things (some lofi to study/chill to, etc)... but now, Spotify is yet another vector for distraction that consumes her.
People be like "parent's should take responsibility for their kids"... I'm like "mf, I'm trying, but every app in the world is trying to be social media" And the parental controls they offer are shiiiiiiiit. Because it's not in a companies best interest to provide parents with tools to limit features.

ISPs and server hosts don't just give bandwidth out of charity or for the public good. One way or another, these for-profit companies are getting their pound of flesh, typically by selling targeted ad space.
The fact that these companies are adding chat features means they're now going to try mining conversations for additional consumer profile data points, which they can then sell to advertisers.
This new change is gross, and I hope nobody uses it.

in reply to Telorand • • •It's not talked about too much, because it is not in the best interest of the stockholders. But AI as it was popularized by openAI and both images and text generators already reached a boundary of data availability. There's no more human made data. They are now resorting to synthetic data, which is to make one first generation LLM model create tons of data to train newer or more tailored weighs models. With the issue that this new models develop problems from inbreeding of the data. Training models on other genAI products poisons the models and corrupts their generative power in just a few generations. This is why genAI images are increasingly turning yellow, the same reason newer models are more fragile and hallucinate or go psychotic more easily than old models. So, the AI companies need new sources of human made data to mix in with the synthetic data.
The main problem is that we ran out, there's no more data made by humans to train AI with. Humans don't create new data fast enough to train all the new models with the new doodads and features the AI companies want to sell. So now these companies will pay anything just to get their hands on new fresh stuff. These is why any app in the planet will now pivot to do anything they can to get chats going. It's a new source of data to sell to data brokers.

I had a script to convert my main Spotify playlist (5000+ songs) to download from soulseek but...yeah that would take a VERY long time and I really didn't feel like being a soulseek asshole going that route.
If there was something out there where I can take my spotify playlist and just convert it and use it on another/better platform I'd switch right now.

I think it reported a 90% success rate + a few that it picked, but got wrong. It mostly failed on my instrumental stuff, standard stuff was fine.

I went back to Spotify for a while because I was missing its discovery features like discover weekly, but Tidal has greatly improved since then, and now features a daily discovery playlist (10 tracks, which I greatly prefer to Spotify's weekly 30), plus 8 custom mixes based on genres you listen to. Track radio is also solid.
Also, it's maybe the only subscription service that instead of creating new tiers, merged the two it had before into one, keeping the upper tier's features at the lower one's cost

I found this, but it has no documentation so I haven't tried it yet: github.com/provokateurin/music…
Edit: Nevermind, I somehow missed the Explore page in ListenBrainz that does this automatically (and has its own RSS feed).

theneverfox
in reply to Whostosay • • •Everyone. Damn near everyone has a phone at this point, Facebook even handed them out to keep the user numbers growing at one point
People who live in dirt floor huts walk to churches or other gathering places to charge them. The cheapest smart phones are essentially worthless, so there's no point stealing or selling them.
And cell service isn't all that expensive to run, so it's priced to what people will pay

But spotify is easy and fast, and some people think they listen to way more music than they do. I wonder how many people are paying spotify $10/month to listen to the same 4 albums for years.

in reply to jjjalljs • • •There’s something to be said for curated “auto” playlists, both for background and discovering stuff.
That being said, Pandora is waaaay better at this. So are free broadcasts/channels like Radio Paradise.
jjjalljs
in reply to brucethemoose • • •I don't trust spotify not to fill those playlists with AI slop, now. I also personally prefer to go deeper on a band, rather than thoughtlessly drift through a bunch of stuff I'll never hear again.
I do like bandcamp's "people who bought this also bought this" recommendations, though.

in reply to jjjalljs • • •So you mean it's convenient. That's a valid reason. Evil shit aside, that's literally why music streaming exploded the way it did.
Unfortunately, the evil shit is pushing me away. Why can't we just have a regular music streaming service that doesn't inevitably suffer from feature creep and enshittification? Why does everything have to constantly increase profits?
jjjalljs
in reply to Lka1988 • • •I think that's the nature of publicly traded for profit companies. The shareholders don't care about the product. They just want their portfolio's value to go up.
The leadership doesn't care much about the product. Not in the long term. They get paid a big salary, and the higher-ups have equity they want to go up in value. So long as they cash out before the product dies, they're golden.
The actual labor building the product might care. Some are just working for a paycheck. (I knew a guy who worked at spotify, actually. He didn't personally care much about music. He was just a database guy). But the ones who do care don't have any power.
So most of the forces that would push the company towards being long term good don't have power. The forces that want more profits, now, do.

Imagine following artists with explicit lyrics, and it starts blasting in the public, because you just wanted to show an album to your friends. Maybe I am wrong, but I think it also included artists that are popular in your area, which makes even worse, as a lot of people here listen drill music.
Luckily, they reverted the stupid change.

They had a good thing near perfect but they kept adding useless features and bloating the app and price. I need to cancel this shit but my grandma loves it.
JordanZ
in reply to Auth • • •Once they brought on Podcasts and wouldn’t stop shoving Joe Rogan on every screen I absolutely cancelled. I never listened to a single podcast on there yet they were the overwhelming majority of my recommendations. I was also getting annoyed with the random pop-ups of ‘hey wanna try this band that sounds absolutely nothing like anything you’ve ever listened to on our platform before?’…nope! Didn’t need Audible either. The price just kept going up…like guys, I want a music app. That’s it. Nothing else.
Uninstalled Spotify over a year(or 2 or 3?) ago…don’t really miss it.
