I have bridged my Mastodon account to Telegram via Mastogram, let's see how well it works...

Telegram does not have alt text so I'll describe the image here: random picture of a Mio figure from Nichijou doing a surprised face.

#TikTokBan: Switching to #RedNote? Your #privacy is at stake.

https://proton.me/blog/tiktok-ban-rednote-privacy-concerns

#TikTok

To bambu lab owners please watch https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aIyaDD8onIE

The #GitHub feature we've all been waiting for: Disabling that Copilot nonsense.

Normally I would be happy that a country bans something like TikTok, but the US has banned TikTok for absolutely the wrong reasons.



If they banned TikTok for the right reasons they would have to ban Facebook and Twitter too.

US: bans TikTok

People: Sign to RedNote

Me: :nkoFacepalm2:

This is even worse..

Bambu doesn’t respect you enough to even lie to your face. Instead, they silently edited their article about the new auth system, blamed users for not understanding something they didn’t explain, AND seemingly told archive.org to delete the snapshot that was being shared around. This is incredibly low.

Too bad for them, archive.is doesn’t do takedowns. The internet doesn’t forget.

The community around Louis Rossmann’s new wiki wrote up an excellent summary with receipts for everything. Bambu walked into such perfect timing for this. https://wiki.rossmanngroup.com/wiki/Bambu_Lab_Authorization_Control_System

The annoying nerds who said you should install Linux, use decentralised social media, use Signal secure messenger were right.

Control of our own computing is a prerequisite for freedom.

The internet *is* real life.

If anyone is thinking about switching to Linux, here's my blog post from 2018 about switching from Mac to Linux.

I've been a Linux user ever since! It's great!

So few people are using Apple Intelligence that Apple are turning it on by default.

Sabot in the Age of AI

Here is a curated list of strategies, offensive methods, and tactics for (algorithmic) sabotage, disruption, and deliberate poisoning.

🔻 iocaine

The deadliest AI poison—iocaine generates garbage rather than slowing crawlers.

🔗 https://git.madhouse-project.org/algernon/iocaine

🔻 Nepenthes

A tarpit designed to catch web crawlers, especially those scraping for LLMs. It devours anything that gets too close. aaron@chirp.zadzmo.org

🔻 Quixotic

Feeds fake content to bots and robots.txt-ignoring #LLM scrapers. marcusb@mastodon.sdf.org

🔗 https://marcusb.org/hacks/quixotic.html

🔻 Poison the WeLLMs

A reverse-proxy that serves diassociated-press style reimaginings of your upstream pages, poisoning any LLMs that scrape your content. mike@mikecoats.social

🔗 https://codeberg.org/MikeCoats/poison-the-wellms

🔻 Django-llm-poison

A django app that poisons content when served to #AI bots. Fingel@indieweb.social

🔻 KonterfAI

A model poisoner that generates nonsense content to degenerate LLMs.

Revolut is specifically banning GrapheneOS by checking for the build machine hostname and username being set to grapheneos. We've changed these to build-host and build-user. Combined with another change, this allow our users to log in to it again until they roll out Play Integrity API enforcement.

A chat server running on powerful hardware collapsing when handling more than 100 events per second isn't acceptable. Events scale up based on room activity from non-local users including spammers too. It's an issue for a server with 12 users too.
