Seems like it’s because that was a duplicate post, or some other meta reason

The sample screenshot in the sidebar uses an anti-trump article, so it’s weird to suggest that they have a pro-trump bias.

It might be that this one can take non-PWA websites and make them behave like proper PWAs?

For some web apps, I want it to look and behave like an “app”, without the clutter of the extra menus that a browser has.

For others, I want it to have the protections and capabilities (ex. adblocking and extensions) that the browser has

It’s a spam bot

This sounds like it would be great for [email protected]

You can make a community for only casual science chat, but I don’t think there will be enough content to sustain it long term

I don’t use Brave, and don’t recommend it to people, but it seems like the $60 is intended as a donation/“vote-with-your-wallet on how we monetize” type product rather than something that is actually worth that much.

It doesn’t change all of the OTHER problems with Brave, but it might be a step in the right direction when it comes to monetization? Pay once vs. LLM/crypto/injected ads

From what I’ve heard, Vancouver is in a similar boat as Seattle and we’re seeing proposals for two datacenters in the middle of the city.

I want more infrastructure in Canada, but the location choice is still weird. It might be a good thing if this law will incentivize companies to take that into account.

I thought this was going to be a comedy skit lmao

“If I go 5 plus 3, and then equal… If I can find it… Oh it’s up here this time”

Yea I’d love an unpredictable operating system where everything is constantly re-hallucinating. “Sorry boss, I can’t open that report. My word processor hallucinated itself into forgetting this file type.”

The way BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) works is that each device has various registers (called GATT characteristics) that, if you’re connected to the device, you can write to, read, subscribe to notifications for, and so on. What’s important to note is that to connect to a device, you don’t need to (necessarily) pair with it. You can often just connect with a device and immediately start reading and writing data to characteristics. Pairing establishes encryption, but a connection can be made without it.

To my surprise, upon reading the characteristic 9e9daaeb-3a10-4fe8-b69f-7397aff77886, I was greeted with the full version string. This means anyone can just connect to any Katana V2X over Bluetooth and start sending CTP commands to it, reading information, changing settings, etc.

I thought of the implications for a bit. The speaker has a microphone. An attacker could, theoretically, upload a custom firmware that effectively turns the speaker into a covert monitoring device, listening in on conversations and forwarding them to a receiver over Bluetooth.

What was more interesting to me was the fact that the speaker is, in a standard setup, connected to a PC over USB. It’s by all means a trusted USB device.

What if we wrote custom firmware that forced the speaker into acting as a keyboard, sending keystrokes for opening up the terminal and executing arbitrary commands? We would turn the speaker into a Rubber Ducky, but remotely, without ever having to plug anything into either the speaker or the PC.

I opened up Fdroid to check, and I found this one. I think it might be my new favourite calculator. I’ve always wanted something like speedcrunch on mobile.

At a previous job, they used to send them fairly often, using various tricks to keep people on their toes. I found it fun

What would that be testing, whether the users are psychic? If the email sender is legitimate, then what else would users need to do?

I can smell this piece 😄

I like it!

Wow the reflection too!

It’s a few months before house hippo season, but it does give people some time to prepare

Which similar errors did you notice? I didn’t see anything specific, but I’m curious

This space has a larger proportion of non-americans than older social media sites, if that helps explain anything

Neat

Use all capitals if an abbreviation is pronounced as the individual letters: BBC, VAT, etc; if it is an acronym (pronounced as a word) spell out with initial capital, eg Nasa, Nato, unless it can be considered to have entered the language as an everyday word, such as awol, laser and, more recently, asbo, pin number and sim card. Note that pdf and plc are lowercase.

It’s still FOSS, and you can either download it offline or selfhost the server if you want to use it without paying. Services cost money to run, I’m not going to ask for them to run that for free indefinitely 🤷

This is still confusing, do they mean that you can open other mailboxes on the proton mail app/web client? That would be nice if implemented well

Assuming this is about duck.ai, I didn’t know they got shit for it. People I’ve talked to generally enjoy having that option available. It’s free and about as private as you can get with the current LLM chatbots, unless you self host one yourself.

At least until Confer gets off the ground. Once that happens, I’m hoping DDG switches to a similar model
