Some Mullvad VPN customers tunnel for exit after co-founder donates millions to populist party in c/privacy@programming.dev
[–] SwooshBakery624@programming.dev 2 points 1 week ago

I don't understand how anyone could recommend AirVPN. Their servers have never been independently audited. There could be 20 critical vulnerabilities, and you'd never know about them. If you're looking for an alternative, switch to iVPN or, at the very least, ProtonVPN. But not AirVPN or Windscribe.

That's why you can't find 3rd party "frontends" using the Gecko engine

Isn't that exactly what WebLibre is?

Void Linux is a non-systemd distro. plasma-login-manager is systemd dependent.

Accepting Cookies in c/programmer_humor@programming.dev
[–] SwooshBakery624@programming.dev 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I'm gonna copy-paste my comment here. Please, don't install such extensions.

Cookie extensions

❗️Sanitizing in-session is a false sense of privacy. They do nothing for IP tracking. Even Tor Browser does not sanitize in-session e.g. when you request a new circuit. A new ID requires both full sanitizing and a new IP. The same applies to Firefox

❗️Cookie extensions can lack APIs or implementation of them to properly sanitize: e.g.

⚠️ [last checked Nov 2024], Cookie Auto Delete even instructs it's users to disable Total Cookie Protection - ⚠️ DO NOT DO THIS ⚠️

As of Firefox 86, strict mode is not supported at this time due to missing APIs to handle the Total Cookie Protection [... followed by instructions]

Do you use vim? in c/linux@lemmy.ml
[–] SwooshBakery624@programming.dev 1 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

evi is not mature enough and doesn't have any package repos. There is another fork that I'm not going to mention, because it's developed by a horrible human being.

The No-AI list - A list of projects that pledged not to use AI or are disrupting it (noai.starlightnet.work)
 

cross-posted from: https://programming.dev/post/49511045

Generative AI, namely LLMs, image and video diffusion models and especially the companies that make them plague the tech industry.

We got tired, so we decided to take things into our own hands and curate a list of projects that aren't complicit in the devaluing of labor by these companies.

Unlike projects that came before us, we want to highlight software that values the labor that goes into creating and not call out projects that use LLMs or Image/Video Diffusion models.

This is in a PR where Shougo, another long-time contributor, communicates entirely in walls of unparseable AI slop text: https://github.com/vim/vim/pull/19413

Thank you for the detailed feedback! I've addressed all the issues:

Thank you for the feedback! I agree that following the Vim 8+ naming convention makes sense.

Thank you for the feedback on naming!

Thanks for the suggestion! After thinking about this more, I believe repeat_set() / repeat_get() is the right choice:

Free/Open Source Software tainted by LLM developers/developed by genAI boosters, along with alternatives.

The intention of this list is to raise awareness of this technology's usage in popular software, as well as give people informed alternatives that they can reach for when they want to make decisions for themselves. This is not a list created so you can go and give these projects trouble for their decision. If you want to file a complaint about it with them, we consider that acceptable but ask that it be done respectfully and constructively.

Ladybird adopts Rust, with help from AI (ladybird.org)
 

We’ve been searching for a memory-safe programming language to replace C++ in Ladybird for a while now. We previously explored Swift, but the C++ interop never quite got there, and platform support outside the Apple ecosystem was limited. Rust is a different story. The ecosystem is far more mature for systems programming, and many of our contributors already know the language. Going forward, we are rewriting parts of Ladybird in Rust.

Porting LibJS

I used Claude Code and Codex for the translation. This was human-directed, not autonomous code generation. I decided what to port, in what order, and what the Rust code should look like. It was hundreds of small prompts, steering the agents where things needed to go. After the initial translation, I ran multiple passes of adversarial review, asking different models to analyze the code for mistakes and bad patterns.
