Upcoming Changes to the AWX Project https://www.ansible.com/blog/upcoming-changes-to-the-awx-project/

(Not quite sure what he's actually saying, and I might actually be a wee bit scared; the last time 'round, k8s/openshift was forced upon us.)

@plaimbock so, will you support that? ;)

@plaimbock my point, really: I’m sure RH couldn’t care less about that packaging

it would seem @geerlingguy agrees with me that the post is mostly fluff

@geerlingguy oh, no! People.

Same sentiment here. I actually had to read it twice, because I believed I'd missed the money shot.

A total waste of time.

Welp, I knew Microsoft's CoPilot+ Recall was going to be a privacy disaster but I didn't expect it to turn into an enterprise computing catastrophe for Microsoft quite this fast!

But this can't be a one-off. Any large enterprise that has to comply with a regulated privacy environment—HIPAA in the USA, GDPR in the EU, banking/insurance/finance globally—must be considering a ban on Microsoft installations on laptop/desktop computers right now or be breaking the law.

TIL: apparent;y SQLite has a fundamentally Christian "Code of Ethics" by which all current developers pledge to e.g.,

  1. Deny oneself in order to follow Christ.
  2. Chastise the body.
  3. Do not become attached to pleasures.
  4. Prefer nothing more than the love of Christ.
  5. Fear the Day of Judgment.
  6. Devote yourself frequently to prayer.

etc. :-O

The "Recall can't record DRMed video content" thing is because DRMed video content is entirely invisible to the OS. The OS passes the encrypted content to your GPU and tells it where to draw it, and the GPU decrypts it and displays it there. It's not a policy decision on the Recall side, it's just how computers work.

@icing @mjg59

is that the reason I cannot (on macOS) screengrab portions of Zoom when screen sharing (e.g. the panel with participant images)?

If the OR is not performing tele-operations (and even then), I simply cannot comprehend why hospitals risk connectivity. There MUST be some way maintenance / updates can be applied offline.

Well, there goes your banking data.

"Santander staff and '30 million' customers hacked"

https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c6ppv06e3n8o

So glad I pulled out of that shit-site a year ago. I had opened an account but gave it up a couple months later b/c their Web portal is so bad. Actually on my last transfer out it says "because your software is shit", but I'm confident nobody at Santander read that.

I am still incredibly happy with my migration of OTP tokens to have a backup on the command-line; even if 2FAS goes down the drain I won't be in the rain.

Ich frage mich schon lange, warum sich Google als DIE Suchmaschine so lange hält und nicht schon längst was neues, anderes, besseres daher kommt. In der Frühzeit des WWW hatten wir alle zwei Jahre neue Suchmaschinen. Außerdem geht Google Search dank AI in großen Schritten den Weg der Enshitification.

Und jetzt gibt es da die Suchmaschine Kagi. Eigener Index, keine Werbung, aber Bezahlaccount. Nutzt von euch jemand Kagi und hat eigene Meinung/Erfahrung dazu?

Bored? No idea what to do on the weekend? How about reading a book.

Ulysses

> James Joyce’s most celebrated novel, and one of the most highly-regarded novels in the English language, records the events of one day—Thursday the 16th of June, 1904—in the city of Dublin.

@shaft I too was forced to process "Portrait of the Artist as a Young Dog" and absolutely detested it.

This one is even worse, though to be honest, I don't think I ever got past paste 2.
