πΏπΆππΆ "not yet begun to fight"A.I. musicians are COOKED. I just recorded an ENTIRE SONG using nothing but my instruments and a few microphones. This would have cost upwards of hundreds of dollars in expensive A.I. subscription fees but for me it was completely FREE. Don't get left behind. This is the future!
Strypey#TIL about the #KeepAndroidOpen campaign;
For anyone who doesn't know yet, Goggle are planning to centralise control over Android app developers. In a similar way to what grApple are doing in malicious compliance with the EU requirement to allow other app install methods on iThings.
More details about what's happening and what you can do at the link above.

The Late Night Linux FamilyPricing and release dates for the new Steam hardware are delayed, Xfce is getting a new Wayland compositor thatβs written in Rust but it might take a while, the Sudo dev could do with sponsorship, Lennart Poettering and friends are cooking up something (but itβs not exactly clear what that is), KDE Linux is progressing nicely, and more. With guest host Kevin from Linux Dev Time.
Matt OrganA friendly reminder to never trust manufacturers privacy protections.
I was recently attempting to get an external camera functioning, so I started polling various video devices sequentially to find out where it appeared and stumbled across a previously unknown (to me at least) camera device, right next to the regular camera that is not affected by the intentional privacy flap or "camera active" LED that comes built in.
I had always assumed this was just a light sensor and didn't think any further about it.
The bandwidth seems to drop dramatically when the other camera is activated by opening the privacy flap, causing more flickering.
This was visible IRL and wasn't just an artifact of recording it on my phone.
I deliberately put my finger over each camera one at a time to confirm the sources being projected.
A friend of mine suggested this may be related to Windows Hello functionality at a guess but still seems weird to not be affected by the privacy flap when its clearly capable of recording video.
dmidecode tells me this is a LENOVO Yoga 9 2-in-1 14ILL10 (P/N:83LC)
Command I used for anyone to replicate the finding. (I was on bog standard Kali, but I'm sure you'll figure out your device names if they change under other distros):
vlc v4l2:///dev/video0 -vv --v4l2-width=320 --v4l2-height=240 & vlc v4l2:///dev/video2 -vv --v4l2-width=320 --v4l2-height=240
How do you convince people to stop using unethical technology like generative AI?

Mike ElganDiscovery of the moment: China's DeepSeek-R1 LLM generates up to 50% more insecure code when prompted with politically sensitive inputs such as "Falun Gong," "Uyghurs," or "Tibet."
