To quote the author:

Memory isn’t just one neurological system, so very occasionally she will able to remember certain types of things.

Also I assume this board is placed in a location that make it obvious and visible to anyone walking in the room.

Are they publically traded?

I wonder if that amount to false advertisement, or if that amount to misleading investors.

It can not only eat polysterene, but more importantly break it down.

Many animals eat plastic, including humans, and that’s not helpful without the ability to break it down.

Telling your contacts not to use Google nor Meta/Facebook. If everyone you email use gmail, then Google has all your emails.

The crisis require global action, and it sounds like COP is the only forum in which all countries take part in.

The last two COPs looks like dark jokes indeed, given their hosts. Public pressure is needed to improve the situation. But we shouldn’t give up on COPs unless there’s a better forum ready to take its place.

This isn’t a basic copy of a whole file. This is creating a new file from a portion of an existing file.

Are there downsides to using reflinks, like alignment and read performance issues?

Compatibility shouldn’t be an issue, ie it should be relatively simple and safe to have a fallback that copy when reflink isn’t available.

It may seem obvious but I’ll say it anyway. Natural remedies can have side effects too. Please avoid self-medication. Talk to a pharmacist or a doctor and , don’t take my word for it.

It’s a fair question. There’s precedent where malware is embedded in PDFs.

Then someone will write an utility that automatically sets timezone using geoclue location data.

It would be fair to compare browsers without adding extensions, with default settings.

This would show which browser have the best security and privacy out of the box. Also, the comparison would be practically impossible otherwise.

Most people use defaults, and I suspect a large portion of users install no extension, unless maybe if a tech-savy relative adds an adblocker.

Does this attack scale linearly with key size?

Using the D-Wave Advantage, we successfully factored a 22-bit RSA integer, demonstrating the potential for quantum machines to tackle cryptographic problems

That attack is a threat only if it scale better than existing attacks.

Testing infrastructure would help for sure, but it’s not necessarily the lack of infra that’s causing trouble.

Linus complains the author didn’t submit the patch to some places for public comments and testing BEFORE requesting a merge.

It sounds like he expects something like

Here’s a mailing list thread asking for feedback and testing. No one complained in a week, could you merge ?

I hope Gimp 3.0 stable will happen before the heat-death of the universe.

• You have a malicious actor on your trusted network.
• If so, you have bigger problems.

This is more likely than you think. There’s more computers than you realise on the average network. Many aren’t updated and have vulnerabilities. If there’s one malware on one machine on your network, that means a malicious actor is on your network.

Common exemples :

• Home WiFi network with old unpached router, Android smartphone, network printer, security camera, thermostat, robot vacuum cleaner, smart lightbulb, smart TV, …
• Unsecure WiFi network at the cafe, train station, hotel, … where you connect a laptops that is sometimes used for printing and which has CUPS

NOYB has the right to send a complaint if it think a company infringe upon right to privacy. Mozilla isn’t entitled to special treatment or special notice before filling a complaint.

Mozilla should have expected this. They claim to defend users privacy so they should understand why consent for data collection is important. Also there was public outcry and criticism of opt-out, and yet they haven’t backed down.

If Mozilla resolve these issues, NOYB could ask for the complaint to be dropped. I hope they do resolve this, and do drop the complaint.

Knowledge of the account is an obvious caveat. Yubikey-based MFA is an added layer of protection for accounts, so any kind of attack against MFA assumes the attacker already knows which account to target.

It’s like saying “our door lock is flawed, but the attacker would need to have knowledge of the door”.

The cost and complexity is what’s noteworthy and is more relevant. Although attack cost and complexity usuallu goes down with advances in tooling and research. So it may be a good idea to plan a progressive retirement of affected keys.

Scientists don’t have to explain why they’re leaving twitter. The reasons should be obvious to anyone familiar with Twitter.

Journalists need to explain why they’re still on Twitter, given that platform has so much bots, trolls, hate and lack moderation.

We have geo-engineered our way into this climate crisis

Well said.

It’s unfortunate that so much susidies go into burning wood, and fossil fuel.

I looked into a local nonprofit that support renewables, and it focus on biomass, less so on solar, and didn’t focus of wind at all (because of scale and upfront cost). Because of that focus on biomass and uncertainty on emissions from biomass I stayed away from them.
