The 'Paperwork Flood': How I Drowned a Bureaucrat before dinner., Sightless Scribbles

A fabulously gay blind author.

thesis: age-verification infects all major operating systems and platforms

antithesis: hackers build operating systems for microcontrollers like esp32

synthesis: you need to verify your age before you can use your thermostat

I can't read german, I assume it says nice things.

if we want to get all moralistic about this, my main objection to LLMs is that writing code should be fun for its own sake, so why would you ever want an LLM to write your code? don't you like fun?

the only reason to do that is because you're a wage slave at some corporate job and your boss wants you to be more efficient, and there you are slaving away, and using an LLM makes your boss happy.

but what's the real problem there? it's not the LLM, it's your boss. your boss is a cunt. corporations are cunts. the problem is wage slavery, not LLMs.

if we got rid of wage slavery, we'd probably also get rid of LLMs, but that doesn't mean LLMs are the root cause of this problem.

@fschulze @brettcannon This particular attack was an exfiltration of a long lived PyPI API key, with packages uploaded from a separate origin. If I understand correctly, there *was* a dev account compromise, but that was of the GitHub Action that was used to perform the key exfiltration (that is, trivy was compromised first, then used to attack LiteLLM et al).

Edit to link the specific analysis my understanding is based on: https://futuresearch.ai/blog/litellm-hack-were-you-one-of-the-47000/

LiteLLM Hack: Were You One of the 47,000?

The litellm 1.82.7 and 1.82.8 supply chain attack on PyPI hit 47,000 downloads in 46 minutes. We analyzed all 2,337 dependent packages - 88% had version specs that allowed the compromised versions.

Keeping money from going to the Harry Potter franchise isn’t just a symbolic gesture. It’s about preventing real harm to real people.

I'm especially glad of this given the Verge's earlier record with transphobic jokes vis a vis the fediverse. As I've said repeatedly, I think highly of the Verge and those jokes felt out of character for them.

This is proactively good, and I'm glad they're saying the right thing about the new transphobic wizard show.

Well this is the first time I think I’ve been genuinely bloody livid about an update because of iOS 26.4.

I don’t do credit cards, only debit, which is common enough in the UK, and none of the cards I input were enough to prove I’m over 18, despite the fact I purchased the damn phone, it’s tied to my Apple ID which has my birthdate, and since we don’t have ID cards and I don’t drive, my one method of verification (that being my passport) was not accepted.

As a result I cannot change some settings on the phone I spent my own money on….. What the actual hell is this utter fucking bullshit? Age verification laws strike again. Fan fucking tastic.
