Gaza is often correctly identified as the world’s largest concentration camp.

Some people object to this on the grounds that Gaza does not resemble a Nazi death camp, because that is what they associate with the term “concentration camp.”

Here’s an example of this sort of mistake (or perhaps deliberate obfuscation):

JizzelEtBass,

@HeavenlyPossum I would argue that was the first to do when President Martin Van Buren had the US Army forcibly round up Cherokees in 1838, part of the saga.

JizzelEtBass,

@HeavenlyPossum Yep, not all were run by the Nazis. Here in the states, the was a great example.

"Co-founders Andrew Steigerwald, a scientist working on Capitol Hill, and Tim Huelskamp, a venture capitalist, felt stuck in a broken media landscape."

Now it sounds even worse. 😅

Confirmado.
No juguéis a nada que use #EasyAnticheat a menos que podáis deshabilitarlo y jugar por LAN como hicimos nosotros en #EldenRing.
Easy Anti-Cheat (en declive desde que fue comprado por #EpicGames) ha sido demostrado como vulnerable a ejecución de código remoto durante el último torneo de #ApexLegends, que ha quedado suspendido. Esto implica que se puede instalar #malware sin vuestro consentimiento al estar jugando en una partida "protegida" por Easy Anti-Cheat.

#EpicGames a las pocas horas se ha lavado las manos con esto diciendo que por el momento no es asunto suyo, y la atención se desvía ahora al motor gráfico #Source de #Valve (que se usa en #ApexLegends y tuvo fallos de seguridad similares en 2021, ya parcheados) pero se sigue sin dar respuesta a por qué #EasyAntiCheat no detecta ni protege contra ejecución de código remoto.
Mientras echan la culpa a otros, el problema sigue sin solución.

“You notice I don’t say things like that unless I have faith in the #source from which I’ve gotten it. Our #Defense Dept says it’s highly unlikely; the Israelis would have had a different footprint,” #POTUS said.

EBCDIC is incompatible with GDPR
https://shkspr.mobi/blog/2021/10/ebcdic-is-incompatible-with-gdpr/

Welcome to acronym city!

The Court of Appeal of Brussels has made an interesting ruling. A customer complained that their bank was spelling the customer's name incorrectly. The bank didn't have support for diacritical marks. Things like á, è, ô, ü, ç etc. Those accents are common in many languages. So it was a little surprising that the bank didn't support them.

The bank refused to spell their customer's name correctly, so the customer raised a GDPR complaint under Article 16.

The data subject shall have the right to obtain from the controller without undue delay the rectification of inaccurate personal data concerning him or her.

Cue much legal back and forth. The bank argued that they simply couldn't support diacritics due to their technology stack. Here's their argument (in Dutch - my translation follows)

Dutch text and a diagram.

Bank X also explained that the current customer data management application was launched in 1995 and is still running on a US manufactured mainframe system.
This system only supported EBCDIC ("extended binary-coded decimal interchange code"). This is an 8-bit standard for storing letters and punctuation marks, developed in 1963-1964 by IBM for their mainframes and AS/400 computers. The code comes from of the use of punch cards and only contains the following characters…

(Emphasis added.)

EBCDIC is an ancient (and much hated) "standard" which should have been fired into the sun a long time ago. It baffles me that it was still being used in 1995 - let alone today.

Look, I'm not a lawyer (sorry mum!) so I've no idea whether this sort of ruling has any impact outside of this specific case. But, a decade after the seminal Falsehoods Programmers Believe About Names essay - we shouldn't tolerate these sorts of flaws.

Unicode - encoded as UTF-8 - just works. Yes, I'm sure there are some edge-cases. But if you can't properly store human names in their native language, you're opening yourself up to a lawsuit.

Nope. Still can't serve. It's now stubbornly serving a completely different site if I use "try_files $uri @PROXY." If I use "try_files $uri /$uri =404;", it gripes b/c there is no index file & it won't do a directory listing. Automatic installation script skipped files. This is non-trivial. Having to search for solutions all day was awful. You want us to host, but online help is poor.

Scrivo questo in risposta al seguente:

"App postepay — chiaramente c'è qualcosa che non va"https://t.me/journalctl_micro/3193Molto funny: la di PostePay rileva modifiche di sistema ad un che passerebbe , col bootloader bloccato, e suppongo quindi senza . 😁️

Ho preso 5 minuti (uhmm, no, magari) per un breve di quella parte della , arrivando a questa sezione del file (baksmaliato dall’ultima versione presente su APKMirror) smali_classes6/posteitaliane/posteapp/apppostepay/ui/activity/SplashActivity.smali, che invoca il dialogo di avviso in foto: 🤓️

# riga 4358.method public final e()V# ... inizializzazione di altra roba# riga 4503new-instance v1, Lcom/scottyab/rootbeer/b;invoke-direct {v1, v0}, Lcom/scottyab/rootbeer/b;-><init>(Landroid/content/Context;)Vinvoke-virtual {v1}, Lcom/scottyab/rootbeer/b;->a()Zmove-result v1if-eqz v1, :cond_2# ... visualizza il dialogo se il codice sopra non ha saltato# riga 4542:cond_2# ... ritorna e termina il metodo

Detto in italiano, questo invoca un metodo (dal nome offuscatino?) presente in una certa classe “com.scottyab.rootbeer“… ed esce fuori, con una sul web, che questa è una (evidentemente integrata dagli sviluppatori di ) per controllare se un Android è . (Non se passa o meno , attenzione.) 🍻️

È un po’ troppo rubatempo mettersi a capire quale effettivamente è nel codice Java quella funzioncina b;->a()Z ora, quindi tiriamo a . Ci sono, in RootBeer.java, tante boolean, di cui varie ausiliarie, e 2 principali: isRooted[With/Without]BusyBoxCheck(). Queste due principali restituiscono un valore positivo qualora anche solo una delle ausiliari chiamate restituisca true, l’unica differenza tra le due è il fare anche il controllo per la presenza del binario busybox, oppure no… E quindi le opzioni sono le seguenti: 📜️

  • checkForBinary(BINARY_SU), checkSuExists(), checkForRootNative(), checkForMagiskBinary(): controllo effettivo del root; escludo, da quel che ricordo il suo telefono non è rootato, ed avendo il bootloader bloccato direi che possiamo stare tranquilli.
  • detectRootManagementApps(): scarto, se il telefono non è rootato non avrebbe senso tenere app di gestione del root.
  • detectPotentiallyDangerousApps(): controlla se sono installate app “a umma umma”; escludo perché credo nessuna sia utile senza il root, e qualcuna forse è pure malware… eccetto Lucky Patcher, che però ad oggi si auto-spoofa.
  • checkForRWPaths(): scarto, controlla se alcuni percorsi sensibili sono scrivibili, immagino di no col bootloader bloccato e senza root.
  • checkForDangerousProps(): da verificare, controlla se alcune di Android sono particolari.
  • detectTestKeys(): inizialmente sospettavo, ma lo abbiamo verificato (con getprop | grep build.tags), e pare non sia il caso (tutto è listato come “release-keys“).
  • checkForBinary(BINARY_BUSYBOX): questa potrebbe essere, ed è , controlla come ho detto prima la presenza del binario busybox, ma da questo commit del 2020 non è più usata nel check predefinito perché — come detto nel commento in quella parte di , e alla sezione “False positives” del readme — alcuni lo lasciano quando non dovrebbero (io credevo fosse normale tralaltro, non un’anomalia!).

Quest’ultima mi cattura perché innanzitutto, te micro hai proprio un da quello che ricordo, che è uno dei listati esplicitamente sul readme… certo, se la usata nella app fosse stata aggiornata, questo non sarebbe dovuto succedere, a meno che i programmatori delle non abbiano stupidamente usato la funzione di aggressiva. Però tbh, considerando la qualità del o semi-statale qui in , secondo me semplicemente quella non è mai stata aggiornata (da un lato però, come biasimarli… “se funziona, non toccare”…). Al momento però non riesco a ciò, perché non trovo abbastanza vecchi di PostePay, quindi lancio solo al vento. 😩️

Io punto su per risolvere questo . Lo non è il mio, quindi io ora posso solo aspettare, se dovessero uscire novità farò un banale edit. (Sperando non siano così grosse da necessitare di un nuovo ). 😼️

Edit: non ci ho beccato nemmeno per il cavolo: dalla regia, che ha ora testato con il di di , vengo a scoprire che le mie opzioni tecnicamente più plausibili si sono rivelate sbagliate. “Root Management Apps” è cosa fa scattare gli allarmi, cosa che io giustamente ho escluso a priori, ma la regia mi fa appunto sapere che aveva Manager installato (soltanto a prendere polvere perché, questo l’ho pensato bene, non ha il root nell’effettivo); e, come previso, la disinstallazione mette a tacere i falsi positivi. Vabbè oh, non potevo immaginarmelo… 🤕️

Ecco un’altra #idea per il #MicroBlog che ebbi da subito, ma che non avevo avuto modo di #realizzare: #collezioni di #dati riguardanti il #sito stesso, visualizzati in maniera #interessante; #grafici colorati e non, in poche parole. 😳️

Oggi mi è capitato di trovare un #plugin #WordPress che facesse proprio al caso mio, permettendo di prelevare #informazioni dal #database tramite #query #MySQL, e generare un #istogramma, un #aereogramma, o altra roba. E allora, ho creato una #pagina dedicata, nello stesso spirito di cosa già feci per la mia #OcttKB (da lì viene anche un po’ l’idea), che cercherò di riempire di #visualizzazioni #intriganti: “https://octospacc.altervista.org/dati-e-grafici-%f0%9f%93%8a%ef%b8%8f/“. Per ora ci sono quella dei #post al giorno, e delle #parole per ogni giorno.

https://octospacc.altervista.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/image-6.pngLa nuvola dei #tag è integrata nel #CMS e l’avevo messa da subito sulla #home (ora spostata), mentre il resto è grazie a questo cosiddetto #SQLCharts.Se come me #amate queste robe, fatevi un giro, e magari datemi qualche #suggerimento su che #illustrazioni in più #programmare… ho anche modificato il #codice del plugin per fargli sputare il #source #SQL utilizzato per ciascun grafico, che potete #copiare ed usare sui vostri #siti. ❤️ (Se volete la stessa #modifica, sappiate che vi basta aggiungere, nel file wp-content/plugins/sql-chart-builder/functions.php, alla funzione guaven_sqlcharts_local_shortcode, la seguente stringa in una parte che preferite della zona HTML: <?php echo htmlspecialchars($sql);?>)

> So now, in WebKit for Safari 17.4, the best file for the user is chosen, instead of defaulting to the first file that has support.

On the one hand I don't disagree that when it comes to type, browsers are generally going to be better situated than authors to make decisions about what the user should see.

On the other hand I think (?) this change is against the spec, and I can't find any open issues proposing a change to the way that source selection is specified.

@pluralistic finally hits the nail on the head with an explanation that can be expanded to Elon Musk worshippers.
It answers the question why so many people defend #Elon88Musk despite running a massive con. With his robotic death machines that cause inextinguishable fires, charged easing diesel generators despite also claiming carbon offset credits for that same energy.

Excerpt:
"This produces a powerful cognitive dissonance: "If all the 'entrepreneurs' I worship are just laying traps for the unwary, and if I am sometimes unwary, then I'm cheering on the authors of my future enduring misery." The only way to resolve this dissonance – short of re-evaluating your view of platform capitalism or questioning your own immunity to scams – is to blame the victim."
