With the death of Chuck Norris was wondering about something. Would love your opinion.
Do you think Pete Hegseth thinks Chuck Norris movies are documentaries?

We need to start a global promotion of AI. But not just general "AI is great" but instead "AI can replace your C suite". That'll be the fastest way to kill AI.
When I hear somebody call themselves a "Social Media Influencer" am I the only one that wants to punch that person in the face?
BrianKrebsNew, by me: How AI Assistants are Moving the Security Goalposts
AI-based assistants or “agents” — autonomous programs that have access to the user’s computer, files, online services and can automate virtually any task — are growing in popularity with developers and IT workers. But as so many eyebrow-raising headlines over the past few weeks have shown, these powerful and assertive new tools are rapidly shifting the security priorities for organizations, while blurring the lines between data and code, trusted co-worker and insider threat, ninja hacker and novice code jockey.

Okay. Let me get this straight about these god awful #ageverification laws being written by people who obviously have zero technical knowledge and didn't ask any experts for their opinions. All to "protect the children". Forgetting about the question of who is ever going to enforce this law, privacy concerns, technical issues, etc.
The way I understand it (at least in the case of California) is that when I install an OS I will have to enter my birth date and lets say I'm over 18. (Who installs an OS these days besides people like me being a #Linux geek?) Get the computer running and I connect to a site that requires age verification. Some daemon on my computer is going to get a request from the site and it will say "Yeppers. This person is over 18" and let me in.
There's no real verification of my age just that my computer says this. I didn't have to provide ID, etc.
This means we've literally got nothing better than the existing clicking on a box that says I'm over 18. Am I wrong?
Now lets say my child or nephew goes on the computer and uses it. It's still going to say that the user is over 18, right? If I set up another user account then do I have to say their birth date too?
How difficult is it going to be for somebody to vibe code a daemon that simply feeds this bullshit to the website every time a user connects? Make a freaking browser plugin?
And the website will be fined if an underage person accesses their site? How the f*ck does that make any sense?
This all seems so stupid and pointless. I know the next step is going to be some sort of ID check. That brings in a whole other world of privacy and security concerns.
OpenMediaALERT: 🇨🇦’s political parties are DAYS away from using Bill C-4 to PERMANENTLY exempt themselves from basic privacy law.
Now is the time to force the House to accept a key compromise proposed by the Senate: a 3 year sunset period, during which they must get privacy right.
Tell your MP: respect voter privacy, sunset Bill C-4! https://www.openmedia.org/C4Sunset-mtd

The province of BC has finally decided to stop pushing stupid clock changes twice a year. Hallelujah!
Trying to figure out what this is going to mean for our computers, phones and other devices.

A Day in the Life of an Ensh*ttificator
Been trying to find a good audio player for Linux to stream my music from my #Navidrome server. Tried a bunch out.
Last night I installed feishin. Gotta say that this is the slickest player by far. Beautiful interface. Awesome visualizations. Handles lyrics well. So happy. I even sent the developer $10 last night to say thanks for such an amazing product.
