Is Signal secure? Yes. But how just asking that is connected to another manufactured conspiracy theory boosted by the usual suspects - @Noupside explains how these come about.

Nyt on kova, ja hyvä!! uutinen

Uudenmaan hyvinvointialueet aikovat luopua Apotista!!

HUS ja Helsinki ei tosin ymmärrä hyvän päälle, (ja Vantaa ja Kerava) jotka aikovat jatkaa. Espoo ei vissiin koskaan ottanutkaan Apottia käyttöön.

wow

🧵 I wrote ab the “is Signal secure?” manufactroversy on X. The Guardian wanted an explainer on why Elon & Jack were “concerned” about Signal. The answer, though, has nothing to do w/Signal’s product. It was part of an extended fight over whether woke NPR should be defunded & the CEO fired. Why? Because the CEO of NPR is on the board of Signal; by the Transitive Property of Bad People, Signal is thus compromised.

Weird that we can't explain a few kubic meters heavy radioactive waste from the NL each year but somehow we can justify pumping our Atmosphere full with toxics each day with our burning engines

"Oehhh all things radioactive are soo scary, we can't setup our grandkids with that" is what they say

But apparently they are totally fine with ruining the climate and expel toxic next where you breath

Until we have something better like fusion we should stick with fission also, but what do I know!🤷

#Washington has not changed its position on potential Ukrainian strikes with #US-supplied weapons on Russian territory, even after #Russia had launched its offensive in #Kharkiv Oblast, #Pentagon spokesperson Sabrina #Singh said at a press briefing on May 16.

"We believe that the equipment, the capabilities that we are giving Ukraine, that other countries are giving to #Ukraine should be used to take back Ukrainian sovereign territory,"

https://kyivindependent.com/pentagon-us-arms/

osma,

Taking back Ukrainian territory begins by striking every airfield hosting russian bombers - not just Belbek. It continues by striking every piece of artillery and force concentration on russian side of frontline, whether Donbas, Crimea, Belgorod or Rostov. Striking every ammunition and weapons factory, warehouse or logistics route russians use, where ever it may be.

Blinken got the memo. Now Biden must get it, too. Scholz, as well.

Patria contemplating resuming production of the 155GH52 towed howitzer. Compared to the American M777, it is a significantly longer caliber (= longer range) and equipped with an auxiliary power unit enabling it to be moved on the field without a tow vehicle.

"Väärinkäyttö ei koske henkilöitä, jotka ovat kieltäneet tietojen luovuttamisen liikenteeseen liittyviin tarkoituksiin."

Tämä on yksi merkittävimmistä pielessä olevista asioista digitaalisissa viranomaispalveluissa. On vaikea pysyä perillä siitä, missä kaikissa paikoissa on tarjolla tietoa, jonka luovuttamisesta (muille kuin viranomaisille) pitää osata erikseen kieltäytyä. Näiden pitäisi toimia niin päin, että tietojen luovuttaminen on kiellettyä, jos sitä ei ole erikseen sallittu.

In what is a significant strategic clarification, Blinken says Ukraine must win the war - not only not lose, as has seemed the case previously.

Next step: to help formulate a strategy through which Ukraine WILL win - and russia lose.

Leave the war planning to the Ukrainians, but force russia's loss by fully preventing their access to western components and markets.

Not only does russia attack civilians in Ukraine, but they use russian civilians as human shield! Shouldn't be surprised that kremlin commits war crimes even against their own - after all, putin started that in Chechnya following age-old soviet doctrine. Still, it is unique to see video evidence.

Okay I have a question for the French people reading this (like, from France).

To you, which of the below items is a "Beignet"? Just one? Both? Neither? Or would you not use this word to describe either thing?

A similar puffed pastry but with no hole.

In Finnish, both would be munkki, but the donut could also be munkkirinkilä (a ring-shape munkki). But what would you call these? Both have specific names another Finn may come in to reveal :)

Sen 15 vuoden aikana, kun Olkiluoto 3:n oli alunperin määrä valmistua, reaktori on tainut tuottaa sähköä noin 20 kuukautta. Mahtaakohan tänäänkään käynnistyä? Toivottavasti enää koskaan ei työnnetä 15% mistään tuotantokapasiteetista yhteen laitokseen.

No eipä käynnistynyt. Tuo arvioimani 20 kk on sekin vähän sinnepäin - 12kk kaupallisessa käytössä, sitä ennen katkonaista koeajoa suurimman osan aikaa vajaateholla, mutta kuitenkin verkkoon sähköä tuottaen (osan aikaa).

Ei kehuttava uptime. Kannatan ydinvoimaa, mutta en isoja kuningaspultteja osana kriittistä infrastruktuuria. Tuon reaktorin sijaan olisi pitänyt rakentaa neljä pienempää.

Much of the analysis of the reshuffle in the Russian government seems to be missing how much it is about coup-proofing Putin's regime rather than making smart decisions for Russia.

Logged in to Stack Overflow for the first time in 10 years to check exactly what have I left there.. Now, since the few answers I've given are CC-BY, so they must attribute them to me, if I make a GDPR data subject request for them to delete all my data, logic dictates that whatever they think about text as personal data, they must delete the answers, because they can't attribute them to me as a deleted account. Right?

Every license contains clauses stipulating the conditions under which it can be revoked. Some argue that letting an LLM "copy" content without attribution is such a violation. Some argue otherwise. Clearly we're in some kind of gray area..

A bit of weirdness I hadn't noticed before. While you can #search #Mastodon on free text now, it won't find links. Meanwhile, the Trending/Explore view has the "News" section which will only show links (along with metadata like "125 people shared", but not the toots themselves).

So Mastodon will recommend you links people talk about, but will obscure the talk itself. Do I have to explain the ways in which this can be actively harmful?

osma,
@osma@mas.to avatar

On #Mastodon, you still can not:

  1. See the toots which cause a link to be added to the "Trending News" list of the server. Ie, you can't tell why they're trending.
  2. Search for a URL, so you can't find who's talking about something, even if full text search is enabled.

It's been this way ever since full text #search was enabled last year.
