Your friendly neighborhood tech frog, here to explore society and complex systems together. My personal views are obscure and will probably be grating to most people, but we don't have to agree to be friends!

Will often discuss things like distributed systems, programming, society, and computer security. Politics WILL come up sometimes. Video games are cool too


I do serious research in between memes I swear, follow for fun computer adventures, and help build a better society together!!

Stop using Big Tech to organize your protests! They're part of the authoritarian surveillance and oppression as well.

EchoLeak — send an email, extract secret info from Microsoft Office 365 Copilot AI

You can’t put data into an LLM and then filter the output to block some of it. Once it’s in the model, it’s in the model. If you put confidential business information into Microsoft 365 Copilot, an…

I just watched a conversation devolve into someone being called "bot, npc, fucking bot" over and over again because they were too dense to understand simple facts

I gotta say that's some world class entertainment, I'm still laughing about it, calling someone a bot for being dense is fucking wild lmfao

So, since I have moved to hosting my new open source projects there, I am now donating $5/month to Codeberg.

Overall I'm now donating $5/month to:
- Mastodon
- Codeberg
- Servo

I think the fact I'm being given the *choice* whether to pay the monthly fee or not, is by itself a compelling reason to pay the monthly fee to support these services and software I use [or, in the case of Servo, hope to use someday].

No, this is not a lot of money.

Man Who Afterpaid Big Mac Meal Outraged at Labor’s Plan To Tax Unrealised Gains Above $3 Million — The Shovel

The man - who holds no super or assets, and has never had more than $13.27 in savings - said he was furious at the Government's plan.

The Shovel

Decided to switch back to QXL+Spice, but with Spice Listen Type = None, and with CPU pinning, and directly sending audio to pipewire. Seems to have fixed the slow 2d graphics, while maintaining smooth video playback, and eliminated any random intermittent freezes that would crash the viewer.

#libvirt #virtio #qxl

I enabled OpenGL acceleration under VirtIO and video playback is smooth, but now other 2d things have suddenly become very slow, such as switching between windows and closing large windows. Is this a known problem? Or do I need a faster GPU or CPU?
