If anyone is getting "LibreWolf is damaged and should be deleted" messages on your macOS machine, making it impossible to launch, run this command:

xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/LibreWolf.app

This is because LibreWolf isn't notarized right now; this command dequarantines it and makes it executable.

please don't recommend that people do this. Apple's signing system is imperfect but this is also an invitation for librewolf's update mechanism to get compromised to sneak in malware. If librewolf cannot afford the $100/year apple tax to get a signing cert, it is not a big enough project to provide something as security-critical as a web browser.

I have an alias to that command appleforce= . This shit should be illegal, #infosec is cool but when they start defending notarization I’m out, waving the bird to those authoritarian fucks.


OnceLost Games, a team that includes the original Elder Scrolls I and II creators, are making every old school RPG lover's dream game. A spiritual successor to Daggerfall.
Their latest devlog is amazing:
they have a dynamic questing system that revolutionizes radiant quests, among other incredible stuff; they're even going the Vuntra City route of using an image texture, with the fragment coordinates for ID and RGB colors for world-space position, to constantly calculate the position of millions of NPC in the world in a GPU-friendly way.

I invite any Daggerfall lover, or old-school computer RPG lover in general to check this devlog out; mind-blowing to say the least!

It can be tweaked, massaged to try and connect to the player's interests - but they don't mention such considerations.

So they're gonna have a rough time.



Back in '96 they made a pet game with an actual neural network, biochemistry and haploid genetics, all local and real-time. Why is no one making a modern version of this? Especially considering current hardware capabilities.

Only conceptual docs and unfinished code at this time, nothing quite ready to show yet. I've been unsatisfied with the cognitive architectures I've read about and trying to conceive of something better.

“I’m one of these people who’s very anti-’robot rights,’ as it were, because I believe it’s essentially a degradation of human rights. It doesn’t elevate robots to the same status as humans, it degrades humans to the same status as robots. And I think we should always, when we’re looking at these machines, treat them as what are, which is avatars of capital. You’re not being nice to a conscious being if you help a robot cross the street; you are helping capital in some way.”

–James Vincent, speaking to @parismarx on this week’s ’Tech Won’t Save Us.’

Vincent was addressing physical, embodied robots, but I think this obviously also applies to #AI generally.

I'm not a Singularity guy, and I'm not a believer that a SkyNet sure of thing could happen. I could be wrong. I'm a software guy, but not that type.

I've got a few friends that have, or studied AI for their PhD. I learned a lot by playing cranky old programmer with them, and "strong AI" ain't happening anytime soon.

I'm hand-waving away LLMs. Neat trick. Clever, even. Not $1,000,000,000,000 clever.

All that aside, if somehow an AGI manifested, think Mycroft from _The Moon is a Harsh Mistress_, I likely would be on the side of the AGI. Or consider Asimov's _Bicentennial Man_. Hell, even that dorky Johnny-5.

"I think, therefore I am." There's a whole universe to build off of that. ***IF*** some system reached that stage of processing, it would be cruel not to count them as part of civilization and society. It would be a mark on humanity. Not that we're saints or all, but so far, we're the only sapients that we kill. No need to add another species.

Now. That being said... Anything like HAL appears, and we're smashing it to pieces. That's self defence.

#AI is more divide and conquer.

The solution is rather simple. Since #AI violates copyrights, consumes huge amounts of energy and water that really is not there, #AI should really only be used for the public good.

Just stay away from anything Amazon as far as practical. It is an "evil empire".

> stay away from anything Amazon as far as practical

Don't disagree. But as Ferguson points out, this is is just one of the companies accumulating this kind of power, without the sort of regulation that bound their pre-digital equivalents. The problem is the power and the lack of constraints on it, not any one company.

MetaAI is currently the only game in town for WhatsApp users.

We've notified Meta of possible interim measures to reverse exclusion of third-party AI assistants from WhatsApp.

In Europe, dominant tech companies cannot be allowed to abuse their market power for unfair advantage.

Every 'free' AI assistant has a hidden cost: your data. Providers log prompts and train models on private info. That's data harvesting, not privacy. The alternative? Self-hosted, open-source models that run locally with transparent policies. More setup, but your conversations stay private. In an era of monetized footprints, choosing control over convenience may be the most important privacy decision. Thoughts? #Privacy #OpenSource #TechWriting #FOSS #Mastodon

Rogan says Trump is using ICE to distract the world from the Epstein files.


Deep down he knows what's up and he doesn't like him that much.
I wonder what they offered him to radically change his political stance back in 2020.
Or maybe he got dragged to the right due to the ultra-woke and cancel culture.
We'll never know...

@lauseta approfitto per condividere con te degli appunti su una questione che riguarda i post Friendica con il titolo

Formattazione post con titolo leggibili da Mastodon

Come forse saprai già, con Friendica possiamo scegliere di scrivere post con il titolo (come su WordPress) e post senza titolo (come su Mastodon). Uno dei problemi più fastidiosi per chi desidera scrivere post con il titolo è il fatto che gli utenti Mastodon leggeranno il tuo post come se fosse costituito dal solo titolo e, due a capi più in basso, dal link al post originale: questo non è di certo il modo miglior per rendere leggibili e interessanti i tuoi post!

Gli utenti Mastodon infatti hanno molti limiti di visualizzazione, ma sono pur sempre la comunità più grande del Fediverso e perciò è importante che vedano correttamente i vostri post: poter contare sulla loro visibilità è un'opportunità per aggiungere ulteriori possibilità di interazioni con altre persone.

Fortunatamente, con le ultime release di Friendica abbiamo la possibilità di modificare un'impostazione per rendere perfettamente leggibili anche i post con il titolo. Ecco come fare:

A) dal proprio account bisogna andare alla pagina delle impostazioni e, da lì, alla voce "Social Network" al link poliverso.org/settings/connect…
B) Selezionando la prima sezione "Impostazione media sociali" e scorrendo in basso si può trovare la voce "Article Mode", con un menu a cascataC) Delle tre voci disponibili bisogna scegliere "Embed the title in the body"

Ecco che adesso i nostri post saranno completamente leggibili da Mastodon!
