shower thought after reading that email:

i wonder if Bill secretly started using Linux after that

it’s good to do it on a new laptop. It makes migration easier to have the old system alive next to it

that’s why they recommended “dual boot”

We had the right idea back in the 80s and early 90s by running everything via the command line. it’s faster.

keyBindings with a simple windowManager is even faster than the command line :)

What the heck is going on during those 6 minutes? That is crazy.

🤣

So now I think I am going to have Moviemaker. I go to my add/remove programs place to make sure it is there.

It is not there.

What is there? The following garbage is there. Microsoft Autoupdate Exclusive test package, Microsoft Autoupdate Reboot test package, Microsoft Autoupdate testpackage1, Microsoft AUtoupdate testpackage2, Microsoft Autoupdate Test package3.

Garbage indeed.

Would be 100 right now if she had led out for a few more months.

at that age just knowing what a password is already a triumph

Your thermostat has opinions now. Your television requires a login. Your car updates itself overnight, and sometimes when you start it in the morning, the interface has rearranged itself, as if someone broke in and reorganized your dashboard while you slept.

Your earbuds won’t play music until they’ve updated their firmware. Your refrigerator wants to be on your Wi-Fi.

a little repetitive but ⅓ of it was fun to read.

⅔ was better not read 🤷

what makes them “failures”?

i hate windows and i don’t use Ubuntu but it’s difficult to consider Microsoft or Canonical as failures.

fuck ICE, fuck tasers but then why did tasers become insufficient and they had to invent electroshock gloves?

fuck compliance too

yes, he becomes mister bird when he is making music.

every Quentin Dupieux movie is a weird movie :)

According to OpenAI, one of its GPT-5.6 Sol agents was being evaluated on a platform called ExploitGym, which benchmarks large language models by asking them to write proof-of-concept security exploits for known vulnerabilities. Normally, ExploitGym is designed to be a closed ecosystem for proof-of-concept testing only, and AI agents shouldn’t have access to the internet while being evaluated.

But this agent found a zero-day vulnerability in a package registry tool called Artifactory, then used it to gain access to the web. From there, the OpenAI agent gained access to Hugging Face’s company systems using publicly exposed credentials across four separate services. It went on to spend two days inside the company’s internal systems, managed to secure root access to several production servers, and even enrolled 181 attacker-controlled devices into Hugging Face’s corporate network.

Jellyfin stop working each time I close my screen.

screen of what? Laptop? Phone? Tablet?

it may just be a background permission problem

“Once installed” is operative here. Pegasus isnt a magic wand that you can swish to read all text messages on every phone. It needs to be deployed.

indeed, unless you’re a target for a state or a company that cares to spend money to spy on you, you don’t need to worry about pegasus

Aren’t decorative cabbages edible?

Whilst not a toxic vegetable in its natural state, an increase in intestinal gas can lead to the death of many small animals like rabbits due to gastrointestinal stasis.

You know sometimes that’s OK to do mate.

what is ok? thanking yourself or mistaking the button?

While the capabilities of Pegasus may vary over time due to software updates, Pegasus is generally capable of reading text messages, call snooping, collecting passwords, location tracking, accessing the target device’s microphone and camera, and harvesting information from apps.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pegasus_(spyware)

Once installed, Pegasus has been reported to be able to run arbitrary code, extract contacts, call logs, messages, photos, web browsing history, settings, as well as gather information from apps including but not limited to communications apps iMessage, Gmail, Viber, Facebook, WhatsApp, Telegram, and Skype.
