That does not allow remote code execution. An attacker still needs a vector like an SSH session to be able to control kitty. And at that point, if they already have a shell session, they don’t need kitty to do damage.
edit: giving access to other programs is not remote execution, but obviously not a good default.
yeah, unfortunately regulations have a bad habit to catch up with reality after the fact. By the time we actually have people in charge making better choices it’ll probably be late.
30 rockets a day? wtf
why can’t he just build bunkers, like reasonable billionaires
The problem with Codeberg now is that there is a spectrum of AI usage between manually coding and AI slop that Codeberg chooses to ignore with their new policy.
I get it that’s their platform and their choice, and at some point I even looked for ways to support them financially if that meant I could migrate all my repos from GitHub - I wouldn’t mind paying for my use, “vibe coded” or not - but an intransigent LLM ban creates uncertainty for many of my active projects, and I can’t consider them a viable alternative to GitHub anymore.
So sure, I’ll take 3h of GH actions downtime a month over a platform ban. I’m sure I’m not alone there.
that’s just an ad for their movie, the big coyote industry can’t have enough attention tsk tsk
You might be a few years behind. We have robots outpacing human performance in specific tasks using neural networks.
Also, LLMs can perform on tasks they weren’t explicitly trained for. This line is not as well defined as you make it sound.
as someone born in one, I think Florida might be worse.
If you have an SO like that, save yourself the drama and break up now.
systemctl list-unit-files --state=enabled to check everything enabled that you might want to disable
as for running as root, AFAIK all systemd services run as root, unless they’re defined at the user-level; but IME setting services at the user level usually means a more involved setup to make sure PATH and env vars are correct.
is backrooms a secret NSA project after the success of backdoors?
I get that, but based on what? 1GB unpacked seems reasonable for a 1999 game that was likely distributed on CDs. Not at all surprising.
oh that’s actually a thing, neat
They don’t need to teach “windows” or “excel”. Working with an “operating system” and a “spreadsheet” is the real value. One can quickly pick up any equivalent technogy as they need to. There’s no good reason to stick to the company that happens to have a monopoly at the time. In fact, it’s better for society that they don’t.
As for photoshop or any media editing program, I’ve never learned that in school anyway. That was just not a thing in any school around where I grew up. Maybe I missed out, but I’d say that elementary and high school curriculums are already pretty busy to focus too much on that kind of work. IME teenagers usually get into that kind of software at their own time and interest. I was into video editing and 3d modeling, but that was never in the curriculum, nor would i advocate for it to be.
We all pick our battles. I have dozens of things more relevant to be worried about. If you think it’s bad that part of the society doesn’t really care about what a CEO is tweeting, maybe you have a really good life, or maybe you’re going to burn out soon.
it’s safer to run it as a regular user and have topgrade ask for root access. With this config line it can ask ahead when starting, so you don’t need to babysit it:
[misc]
# ...
# Run `sudo -v` to cache credentials at the start of the run; this avoids a
# blocking password prompt in the middle of a possibly-unattended run.
pre_sudo = true
Underrated. We usually have a lot more to upgrade than just the main distro’s package manager.
maybe some people just don’t give a fuck about what CEOs of the companies they consume products of tweet in their personal accounts? All this drama is a nothingburger to me and a complete waste of time.
yes, I get that and it’s a bad default, but not RCE like the post says
