  • Social programs ain't the solution they said

  • But the privatized prisons are local businesses too, right?

  • Stupid question but is it possible to get a virus from an MKV file.

  • Thank you for the correction!

  • Won't this cause subtle but serious issue? Kinda like how pomegranate translates to "granada" in Spanish, but when you translate "granada" back to English it translates to grenade?

  • Every once in a while security researchers would discover sophisticated exploits that would allow malwares to take over your computer via multimedia files, but those are actually rarely exploited in the wild by run off the mill malwares.

    Unless you're an important person being targeted by hackers and three letter agencies, your biggest source of threat is running infected programs from untrusted sources, e.g. cracks downloaded from random torrents or warez sites, shady sites serving ads that trick you to run some executables, etc.

  • How do you sanitize ai prompts? With more prompts?

  • Lemmy has a lot more contributors and eyes digging into its codebase now compared to 2021 so I think this is very unlikely to happen.

  • I may not agree with the devs political view, but I think their work developing lemmy is excellent and made me subscribe to monthly donation on opencollective. Lemmy is an open source project where the devs have absolutely no say over how the software being used, as evidenced by so many lemmy instances defederating from lemmygrad and lemmy.ml. Their political belief won't affect other instance.

  • They probably mean the .ml part.

  • AI layoffs

    Jump

  • If we fire all developers and allow AIs to program themselves, the AIs are going to commit virtual seppuku after a few days.

  • Oh tell me again how it loads faster and takes up less resources

    Jump

  • I'm more concerned with Mozilla spending its meager resources to chase some fads instead of focusing on improving firefox.

  • Oh tell me again how it loads faster and takes up less resources

    Jump

  • Google does that a lot with their own web properties. I remember Google Meet didn't support background replacement on Firefox, but switching Firefox's user agent to Chrome suddenly fixed it.

    Jump

  • It seems Mozilla is not immune to the AI hype. I just hope their AI endeavour won't kill them when the AI hype finally ends.

  • Oh tell me again how it loads faster and takes up less resources

    Jump

  • It used to be a lot slower, which is why when Chrome showed up with its shiny new V8 engine (and other features) people switched from Firefox en masse. Now the performance difference is no longer noticeable.

  • only as in free beer

  • Iirc they already validate licence online long before going subscription only.

  • An important context that's missing from the blog post is Keivan Beigi is one of the core contributor of Sonarr, a popular app in the *arr scene. Microsoft probably realized it late after offering him a job, got cold feet and ghost him.

  • I only just realized my previous comment formatted like total ass

    No problem since there is a "view source" button on lemmy which show the comment in its original formatting.

  • This laptop seems to use ALC236, which seems to have a lot of problem on linux. If you search on the web, people seems to have different issues with different fixes on various laptop with ALC236. I'm not quite sure what's the issue in your case, but searching for "ALC236" linux mic might yield some relevant results, such as this one. Most solutions are probably not applicable unless you install linux permanently on your disk first though.

  • Audio issues on laptops are usually model-specific. Might help if you post your laptop model and the output of diagnostic commands such as arecord -l.
