It’s amazing how so many people here are completely oblivious to sarcasm.

from this commercial, apparently it’s a joke but also a real product from Daily Wire 😬

What a confused image.

1. TiVo complied with the GPLv2 and distributed source code for their modifications to Linux. What they did not do was distribute the cryptographic keys which would allow TiVo customers to run modified versions it on their TiVo devices. This is what motivated the so-called anti-tivoization clause in GPLv3 (the “Installation Information” part of Section 6. Conveying Non-Source Forms.).
2. Linux remains GPLv2, so, everyone today still has the right to do the same thing TiVo did (shipping it in a product with a locked bootloader).
3. Distributing Linux (or any GPLv2 software) with a threat of violence against recipients who exercise some of the rights granted by the license, as is depicted in this post, would be a violation section 6 of GPLv2 (“You may not impose any further restrictions on the recipients’ exercise of the rights granted herein.”).

actually it stands for “Privacy-Preserving Attribution”.

They had to make it the default though. That was unavoidable.

For it to be useful at scale, sure, but reading this it sounds like Chrome’s version of it is still “experimental” and opt-in. Hopefully the backlash prevents it from being developed further.

It has come to my attention that many of the people complaining about #Firefox’s #PPA experiment don’t actually understand what PPA is, what it does, and what Firefox is trying to accomplish with it

The documentation under the “Learn more” link next to the “Allow websites to perform privacy-preserving ad measurement” checkbox in Firefox preferences explains very clearly what it is and how it works. Asserting that people who read that and are indignant about it being enabled by default just… “don’t actually understand” it is absurdly insulting and basically gaslighting.

adding all compiled file types including .pyc to .gitignore would fix it

But in this case they didn’t accidentally put the token in git; the place where they forgot to put *.pyc was .dockerignore.

At my workplace, we use the string @nocommit to designate code that shouldn’t be checked in

That approach seems useful but it wouldn’t have prevented the PyPI incident OP links to: the access token was temporarily entered in a .py python source file, but it was not committed to git. The leak was via .pyc compiled python files which made it into a published docker build.

this isn’t remotely how this meme is used lol

wikipedia articles about him have been deleted twice:

Redhat, however, found this solution too simple and instead devised their own scheme for assigning network interface names. It fails at solving the problem it was created to solve

I somehow first read “Redhat” as “Reddit” in this sentence, and so was briefly thinking that perhaps this bad idea originated there 😂

python -c 'print((61966753*385408813*916167677<<2).to_bytes(11).decode())'

$ python

>>> 0x48656c6c6f20576f726c64

(probably the most downvoted post i’ve made yet on lemmy 😂)

Hi, I’m an admin on lemmy.ml. The account of the one existing mod of the session community here has apparently been deleted.

I’ve heard there are some bugs with moderation of remote communities, but, I just made you a mod there anyway. I don’t know the state of those bugs; it might work better if you made an account on this instance.

Btw, I recommend against using Session for a variety of reasons including the one I posted in your thread here.

E: old thinkpad gang input: take the time to reapply thermal grease to the cpu at some point. It makes a huge difference.

What’s a “gang input”?

😂 it’s an input to this discussion from a member of the group of people (“gang”) who have experience with old thinkpads. and yes, if your old thinkpad (or other laptop) is overheating and crashing, reapplying the thermal paste is a good next step after cleaning the fans.

If your objection is honored, it will be applied going forward

and later it will turn out that the AI solution was actually two clickworkers in a trenchcoat
