Open Source Must Be Fun (Or It Will Die) in c/opensource@programming.dev

[–] artwork@lemmy.world 6 points 19 hours ago

AI drive-by issues, pull requests and security reports are overwhelming maintainers. Rising security expectations (thanks Mythos) require maintainers to do even more work. Open source funding is hard to secure and insufficient.

Some of this is happening, but I’m sure as hell not seeing it in Homebrew...

As I’ve written before, the scarcest resource in open source is not money but the motivation of the maintainers.

# Fun Is Social

My first real experience of OSS was with a successful

Thank you, dear @fictograma@lemmy.world , but... why the LLM/AI generated empty sorrowful image... why...
Why devalue and obliterate the overall written hard work with the generated empty nonsense...

I've just found a few in my own photography backups, and not a single bit in them was generated by some sorrowful LLM effortless bloody sad algorithm...

These took around 30 minutes each to capture and edit a little bit, but I feel a weight and value in them, where someone put an actual effort in.
While any sorrow generated by a random awful LLM has no value, and never will.

Please... please... don't devalue you written miracles with an empty sorrow generated from LLMs based on stolen art of now unknown other people effort meatground inside these models...

Please do consider capturing a moment for your works... to be left in the history You created... a work that will live after you... and someone may find a miracle in... to learn from...

Please... do consider your history you create...

Tesseract dev injects malicious code into browser to illegally DDOS the dbzer0 instance in c/fediverse@lemmy.world

Tesseract dev injects malicious code into browser to illegally DDOS the dbzer0 instance in c/fediverse@lemmy.world

[–] artwork@lemmy.world 20 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Just for the sake of inadequacy of the sorrowful code...

And though I was banned on the /0 instance for a single message, too, with some experience in web-dev I just wanted to clarify regarding the possible immaturity of the sad malicious script authors, sorry...

That attempt seems too reckless and disregards the client optimizations, I believe, and may "choke" the JavaScript engine event-loop of common clients as modern browsers, since Fetch API is asynchronous, and not to mention net::ERR_INSUFFICIENT_RESOURCES that may also cause lagging in the client.

A few milliseconds timeout, or more adequate batching/chunks seems required. For example:

async function fetchChunks(urls, chunkSize = 10) {
  for (let i = 0; i < urls.length; i += chunkSize) {
    const chunk = urls.slice(i, i + chunkSize);

    try {
        await Promise.all(chunk.map(url => fetch(url)));
    } finally {
        await new Promise(r => setTimeout(r, 50));
    }
  }
}

const urls = [];

for (let i = 0; i < 50; i += 1) {
    const random = ...;

    urls.push(`https://test.test/$%7Brandom%7D`);
}

fetchChunks(urls);

That would at least make it more adequate in the scope of User clients with less but still loading them awfully and disrespectfully... which is sorrowful indeed...

In other words, their current "malicious" code is just...wrong...
Regardless, such actions may tarnish someone's history much to the point their self-confidence may not recover shortly and require a great amount of time to believe in yourself hopefully again... Therefore, let's hope the people behind it will reconsider their actions as soon as possible... and won't dig their own beliefs and love too deep to search for later...

Meet Flock's Alpha Drone – It Reads License Plates from 2,000 Feet in c/technology@lemmy.world

[–] artwork@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Their own chat bot responded the following:

Screenshot

- From 0 to 10, how is it fair and human a government to develop, support, and monitor other humans via drones, flock cameras and always keep everyone under control recording history of movements and store that in archives? Interesting topic! Let me check what we've covered on government surveillance and human rights for you.

- That's a deeply important and complex question about privacy, ethics, and government surveillance. Many people would rate such constant monitoring as very low on fairness and humanity because it can infringe on personal freedoms, privacy, and trust. Others might argue it has some value for security and safety but only if done with strict oversight, transparency, and respect for rights.

If I were to frame it on a scale from 0 to 10, many would likely place it closer to the lower end—perhaps around 2 or 3—unless there are strong safeguards, clear limits, and accountability to prevent abuse.

How do you feel about this kind of surveillance? Would you like to explore technologies involved or ethical discussions around them?

Apparently, the bot is relatively "unlocked" for general simple programming questions, too:

With posts loaded shortly after publishing, post image requests fail with "error sending request for url... operation timed out" (lemmy.world)

submitted 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) by artwork@lemmy.world to c/support@lemmy.world

0 comments fedilink

Dear Developers, Artists, Community,

Thank you heartfelt for the marvel, art...

There's the following possible case regarding image hosting.

The following URL was set to a post once posted:
- https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/410efc36-1797-4d02-b771-ec608c21a64e.png?format=webp

The related post:
- https://lemmy.world/post/49812750 (Nancy Kovack (1963)...)

Once the post was loaded shortly after its publishing, in a local client, the client returned a "no image" placeholder.
When checked the raw response, the endpoint sent the following:

{
  "error":"unknown",
  "message":"Request error: error sending request for url (http://pictrs:8080/image/process.webp?src=410efc36-1797-4d02-b771-ec608c21a64e.png&thumbnail=256): operation timed out"
}

It seems like a container/virtual machine, with the custom hostname of pictrs is not available at certain times on port 8080, as if restarting shortly or too busy right the moment the post is created, possibly proxied within containers/local network where custom DNS resolved of Docker/Podman/etc. or similar systems exist. In result, "times out" on DNS or another transfer protocol context.

With some time passed, a few minutes, with the post reloaded for another request, the image was successfully received!

Please stay safe, and I wish you success, stability, and peace...

Best and kind regards

Close to tray starting in 154 (natively; Windows OS only) (support.mozilla.org)

submitted 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) by artwork@lemmy.world to c/thunderbird@lemmy.world

0 comments fedilink

If you use Thunderbird on Windows, you may be familiar with sending Thunderbird to the system tray (the notification area) so it keeps running in the background. Starting with Thunderbird 154, the way this works has changed – instead of minimizing to the tray, Thunderbird now moves to the tray when you close it. This article explains the change and shows you how to turn the feature on.

Note: This feature applies only to Thunderbird 154 and later on Windows 10 and 11. It is not available on macOS or Linux.

Source

Holy gracious smokes... such an important feature... some used to implement via workarounds as custom hooks in DEs and/or add-ons...

I am literally trained myself to press on "Minimize" just for this program, so to not close it accidentally in an environment I haven't configured (e.g., someone's else machine).
And not to mention cases when tray icons do not update on process's terminated automatically in certain environments sometimes, keeping it with a ghost icon indicating as "running"...

Though, no support for the Linux yet, the OS I've been into for more than two decades now, it at least has a progress...

Thank you... heartfelt...

Honestly the only thing holding up progress is an engineers time to work on it. I started this project some time ago and then would love to find time to come back to it.

The loop of sorrow and devaluation... When Gemini sources to Grokipedia... (lemmy.nz)

I rarely utilize the machine of sorrow, and only if I fail to find the information in normal search engines with effort and time invested. The prompt was:

What is the term for when an update breaks previously working features?  
What is the main origin of the term? Why was it used instead of other alternatives?  
Link to direct sources and find the most correct and valid reason.

And I sure never ever used nor will use the freaking ineffably sorrowful, disgraceful, and disrespectful towards the Wikipedia and People work, effort, and the dear infinitely marvelous history:

"I exposed fake AI producers..." by Ilysian... // You’re telling me that just because something’s hard, I should give up... No, dude. (youtu.be)

My name's Alysian. I've been making music for 10 years now, which makes me very passionate about this video I want to make right now. And that is people who are using AI, like our friend... to fake being a producer and posing as if they made it, which is just lying.

The reason this is actually kind of pissing me off is because they are completely undermining the entire purpose of making art. And that is expressing your own unique creative idea through the art you're making and trying to convey a message to someone else.

And they're also intentionally deceiving you by making you think that they're something that they're just not. And using an AI to do that for you just completely defeats the purpose...

CEO can claim that they're helping music in whatever way they see fit. But when the CEO is on record saying something like this...

You're telling me that just because something's hard, I should give up. I shouldn't keep trying. I shouldn't keep finding new ways to make this thing work. What is the point of doing anything then? You think the greatest artists, writers, athletes, musicians got good at what they're doing because it just came easy, and just fell in their lap?

No, dude. They got to where they were because they knew how hard it was going to be. They figured out what they needed to do in order to get good at it. They logged in on their craft and they succeeded.

Why use the LLM/"AI" generated banner for the Community? (lemmy.nz)

Dear Coffee Community at LemmyWorld,

Thank you for the marvel you do...

I am sorry, but just to clarify, may I ask... why ever use the so fake, effortless, worthless, void-empty, horrible, and sorrowful meat-ground set of bytes... as the very main banner to represent the so ineffably magnificent art, history, and human effort... as Coffee... and more than 10,714 Members of the Community, too...

There are so many artists out there who have art attributed... and if you haven't chosen a work of your own, have you considered a competition between the current Members to choose the artwork for the banner? A moment of photography would already be a marvel...

Please... please do consider the noise, emptiness, and unintentional but possible disrespect... towards the miracle... divine elixir... the coffee...

Best and kind regards

Translation from the Arabic...

O Coffee! Thou dost dispel all cares, thou art the object of desire to the scholar.
This is the beverage of the friends of God; it gives health to those in its service who strive after wisdom.

Prepared from the simple shell of the berry, it has the odor of musk and the color of ink.
The intelligent man who empties these cups of foaming coffee, he alone knows truth.

May God deprive of this drink the foolish man who condemns it with incurable obstinacy.
Coffee is our gold. Wherever it is served, one enjoys the society of the noblest and most generous men.

O drink! As harmless as pure milk, which differs from it only in its blackness...

Delicious beverage, its color is the seal of its purity.

It's sorrowful some people choose to hate, complain, ridicule, and block everything that does not fit their choice...

With just a single idea shared, a lone message posted in a community, with your finite priceless time and experience invested, you may get banned instantly, and permanently, instead of actually learning and discover together...

The single message that resulted in my immediate permanent ban:

Message

It's not Linux, but your distribution, or you, what makes it "unsafe".
There are numerous options to harden your Linux environment, and it's relatively trivial to keep it safer if you ever want it, or actually stop blaming and complaining.

For example, to limit the access for root or custom group hwaccess, without much fuss but to give you an idea, for the most popular distros as Debian-based:

Add a Udev rule:

# /etc/udev/rules.d/90-hwaccess.rules

KERNEL=="mem",        GROUP="hwaccess", MODE="0660"
SUBSYSTEM=="spidev",  GROUP="hwaccess", MODE="0660"
SUBSYSTEM=="i2c-dev", GROUP="hwaccess", MODE="0660"

Set at boot:

setfacl -Rm 'g:hwaccess:rwX' -- \
    /sys/kernel/debug/ec \
    /sys/bus/pci/devices/*/config;

You may then setup SELinux, AppArmor, and secure it via SecureBoot's shim, too.
Yet, you chose to effortlessly complain instead...

The AI companion startup is hiring 10 "masturbation consultants" to test a feature called Daily Guided Masturbation, which uses mood-matched AI voice sessions to guide users through the experience. Participants would document how regular use affects stress, sleep quality, mood, and confidence. The four-week role is open to adults 18 and older in the U.S. and the U.K...

It saddens me to say this, but I don't believe this path will teach us how to preserve our humanity, or to support a human to learn to become a lovable, empathetic, experienced human.

Yes, I do realize that this has been around for a long time, including the scene from film "The 6th Day" of ~2000 with the apartment "virtual girlfriend" I recall even.
And it feels like I get for where this is coming from, and how lone or ill people (e.g. film Shame) may find it relevant, but... I'm deeply saddened because I don't see it helping us nurture our truest, most human selves... and personally, I see it a degradation of a humanity, since I believe in people should focus on love between actual people, search for a true love...

We can do better...

It does not seem like this kind of technology will support a person to have a healthy and long-term happy life...
I'm holding out heartfelt deep hope that us people can discover a better way... to not invest technologies to distant all of us even further with every such invention... but instead to ease the search for partners... or for our true... infinitely magnificent Soulmates instead... since isn't it the purpose... to finally find a miracle... to be a miracle for them, too... and both create a universe...

“Everyone Is Using A.I. for Everything” nowadays, a.k.a. vibe-living, and if you don’t, you’re a misfit outsider who should be stoned to death in the town square to prevent contagion, and then A.I. should resurrect you virtually from your data so you can be stoned to death in the virtual town square, for infinity...

Criticizing A.I. as a criminal plagiarizing machine that steals the work of artists without permission or compensation used to strike me as a bit hyperbolic...

The point is, I’m not saying all this to defend humanity. Humanity sucks. It’s totally terrible. I’m saying this because I believe in an old-fashioned virtue called Doing the Freakin’ Work.

Read the book, not the summary.
Write the piece, not the prompt.
