slikrick··on Servo announces grant from the NLnet Foundation
if you don't have time to look into it then you shouldn't just blindly spout incorrect information, just saying.

when the planet is dead we can't go anywhere
slikrick··on The first stable release of a memory safe sudo implementation
by having the Linux kernel be a sub part of a larger system. literally look at WSL2
slikrick··on The first stable release of a memory safe sudo implementation
a reimplementation that copies the interface has no need to copy the license. GPL people just get scared because they know their license can't prevent people from rewriting their own software (of course, such an idea is ridiculous).

the GPL is not a perfect license, there is no such thing.

how do you pronounce gif
slikrick··on The first stable release of a memory safe sudo implementation
I might be too harsh, but it is not so trustworthy that they found bugs within the original sudo after less than a year of effort. those other devs had over 40 years to find it
slikrick··on NewPipe – Lightweight YouTube experience for Android
the source is open, it's just not open source. You can't be pedantic about things they didn't say, and you don't get to retroactively define open to only be definable by OSI.
slikrick··on I trapped scammers in an impossible maze [video]
how could they be?
slikrick··on Sam Bankman-Fried Convicted
is this the level of discourse we're at? calling banks frauds when actual frauds scam people? hilarious
slikrick··on Sam Bankman-Fried Convicted
what are you actually arguing? because he is compelled to answer questions, why is that different from being compelled to read a headline for a question of "did you write that/approve that" etc.

he agreed to take the stand, he agreed to everything. what would the lawyer object with "your honor, they're making him read" lmao

slikrick··on Some Pirate Sites Received More Visitors After Being Blocked
why are you arbitrarily pretending that makes up for all other forms of theft?
slikrick··on Some Pirate Sites Received More Visitors After Being Blocked
how/why would there be correct pirating statistics lmao
slikrick··on The Cloud Computer
it's so funny to me that you're harping on this analogy when it's clear you are so stubborn you won't accept anyone else's answer anyways.
slikrick··on Woman wins 12-year legal battle against Google
a settlement isn't just money, can you not read the article?
slikrick··on Woman wins 12-year legal battle against Google
no, because they have not been notified, they also may not be a second publisher here. but go off king
slikrick··on Woman wins 12-year legal battle against Google
can you really not be ripped off by psychics? I mean come on
slikrick··on SumatraPDF Reader
that doesn't explain you purposefully misunderstanding people
slikrick··on SumatraPDF Reader
if by plethora you mean different web implementations, sure. but there has basically been less than a handful cross platform UI toolkits since GTK/QT
slikrick··on The Speed of the Librem 5
they are not lying, apple was quite literally sued successfully in France and are currently settling class action lawsuits over the exact thing.

apple can say otherwise but that doesn't mean you need to regurgitate their lies. Apple only slowed the phones after a software update, not as a natural response to battery degradation. if that were the case it wouldn't be unique to that specific phone anyways.

God, apple makes good hardware but the people who just makes things up to stand in the fire of criticism are the strangest

slikrick··on The fake browser update scam gets a makeover
but realistically they aren't, so why are you even mentioning it?

not every app is on the windows or Mac App store, not every app is on the Linux package managers. even so there is no sandboxing so you're just waiting until one of them gets compromised and hope nothing bad happens

sandboxing hostile apps is the only true way to protect yourself, and even that isn't perfect

slikrick··on Bandcamp's Entire Union Bargaining Team Was Laid Off
it's directly saying that unions protect against anti-worker bullshit corporate speak.

which you seem to eat up and want to spit right back at people

slikrick··on Bandcamp's Entire Union Bargaining Team Was Laid Off
apparently the bar for companies is that low that HN is bootlicking the bare minimum. it's honestly hilarious.

this is extremely shady, and I don't know why people are trusting the source directly lol. they wouldn't say they did anything untoward, ever

slikrick··on Using Goatse to Stop App Theft
completely useless nonsensical comment
slikrick··on F-Droid version of KDEConnect uninstalled by PlayProtect
it's not a waste of money, that android version is a security mess
slikrick··on ChatGPT’s system prompts
> but that filter would have to be pretty advanced

couldn't it literally be as simple as hard checking that the prompt is contained in a response before being sent out, if so just swap it with a "safe one"

Not every step that checks LLMs needs to be more advanced, some of them can be simple. LLMs are pattern finders but we also know how to check statically known things already.

God no, space is literally limited, one capital holder shouldn't be able to just run in their first, fuck everyone else over, and they say "nuh uh". If you're operating in any country you play by those countries rules, and in the US that is the agencies like the FTC.

It's ridiculous that you think anyone deserves to own the space around our planet

slikrick··on Show HN: I got tired of reading "This posting has been deleted by its author"
you should really look into lost media, stuff gets lost on the internet all the time. and that's just the stuff people are actually caring to look for

sorry to tell you, but you're wrong lmao
slikrick··on RIAA Reports AI Vocal Cloning Site 'Voicify' to the U.S. Government
Good. It should be settled at some point legally what the courts feel about AI and this is a very relevant case. I'm tired of armchair techbros acting like they're the judge of the imaginary court in their head
slikrick··on RIAA Reports AI Vocal Cloning Site 'Voicify' to the U.S. Government
yes, legally
