  RE: https://mastodon.derg.nz/@anthropy/116829800024264943 Instead of shaming individuals for wanting to live comfortably, let's focus on the corporations, ultra wealthy, and politicians too weak to implement effective solutions. Stopping or shaming individuals for installing AC in their homes should be near the bottom of the priority list. Also, two things can be true: home AC usage consumes a lot of power and AI data centers are an increasing problem that we should stop now. However, I&#3...

  No, I'm not going to enable JavaScript for your random Fediverse/Lemmy service. I'm sick and tired of having to trust random websites to execute code on my system. You don't need more than HTML and CSS to display a rich website. There is no reason for the JavaScript dependency. It should provide extra functionality, not base functionality. Also, this website appears to be using Cloudflare, which is protecting the folks DDoSing Ubuntu infrastructure right now. What a joke...

  It is 2025 and Slack still doesn't have proper support for Linux and Firefox. They blame their usage of the Amazon Chime SDK.

  RE: https://mastodon.social/@verge/116257260071112037 More accurate title: Human Meta developer caused security incident by following GenAI advice and lack of secure Meta development controls This was not a "rogue AI" that misbehaved.

More importantly, it was a human that performed the actual changes by acting on inaccurate GenAI information and lack of technical controls and...

  RE: https://mastodon.social/@arstechnica/116251396219143666 Microsoft is actively hiding and suppressing this article from Bing search results. Try searching for "fedramp microsoft site:arstechnica.com" (without quotes!). This also impacts search engines such as DuckDuckGo. Copilot also seems to be blocking anything related to "Microsoft" "FedRAMP" and "certification", although this could be an issue on my end with failing...

  Organic Maps and OsmAnd are integrating GenAI and LLM code into their development processes and codebase. This a bummer because I really like the Organic Maps UI and functionality of OsmAnd. Are there any open mapping software projects that are not tainted by GenAI and LLMs, or should I just go back to Google Maps? Hypocritically, Organic Maps still has the following in its contributors guide: "When contributing to this project, you must agree that you have authored 100% of the cont...
