I think a new GPL needs to be created to account for this. Like, “any generative system using this as an input which can ever replicate this code base (even in part), must be bound to this license.” People could then run overfitting analysis to see if they ever get their copyleft code out of the model. If they do, then they have grounds to sue. I’m fine with an LLM being trained on my code, but I want the four freedoms to be preserved if it is.

Open source isn’t good enough, I want my software to use a strong copyleft license with no ability to relicense via a CLA (CLAs that don’t grant the ability to relicense software are rare, but acceptable). AGPL for servers, GPL for local software, LGPL for libraries when possible, and Apache, MIT, or BSD ONLY when LGPL doesn’t make sense.

I’m positive it has the same issues as any other Windows VM setup. If you’ve got two GPUs, you can probably pass one of them through to the VM and get good graphical performance.

I wish the virtio-gpu stuff hadn’t died on Windows…

EDIT: It might not be dead? That’s cool if so.

Out of curiosity, do you feel that you would have been able to write that new function without an LLM in less time than you spent fighting GPT5?

If the game uses Unity and the mods are posted on Thunderstore, then Gale works perfectly.

Is it even possible to replace the head units on deeply integrated cars like this?

ngl, I do wish it was still used. I remember being like, 4 years old and trying to write a “thank you” card to my grandmother. I spent what feel like an hour going through the alphabet, trying to find the letter that makes the “th” sound. Apparently my mom found me laying on the floor sobbing and repeating the alphabet, which is both funny and sad lol

Many years have passed, but a tiny grain of resentment at the English language remains. The thorn would have prevented that.

And even then, zfs dedup is a WHOLE can of worms.

Powershell is a better language but is absolutely dogshit for interactive use IME. It’s SO wordy and the excessive use of camelCase is annoying and I yearn for simple GNU coreutils every time I touch it. Like, give me tail -f please, why does cat also have a -Wait option or whatever the fuck

A bunch of GNU tools have added JSON output and it’s so good. Like, GNU column can take tabular data and convert it into JSON really easily. It’s like the perfect text stream.

FINO is infinitely better in my opinion.

I’m gonna start by saying that I absolutely hate the people responsible for systems like this.

With that said, can we please not bring back Gamergate terminology? Call the Australian lady a TERF or an asshole or whatever, but seeing the word “feminazi” makes me feel like I’m on reddit back in 2016.

This is a fantastic response. I’m saving this so I can use it to show people that LLMs are not thinking machines.

I fucking hate that the use of emdashes (i.e. —) is associated with fuckass LLMs. I use them all the time and now I’m worried I’ll be mistaken for an LLM.

Your link is borked. Here’s a fixed version: https://www.c-span.org/program/senate-committee/meta-whistleblower-testifies-on-facebook-practices/658354

I mean, yeah. I wouldn’t have found that project and gone to the effort of using it if a simple dehu was all I needed. I wanted something I could control with my local home assistant install, and you can’t just hard power cycle a dehumidifier, it kills them.

That’s why projects like this are great: https://github.com/Hypfer/esp8266-midea-dehumidifier

My Midea Cube dehumidifier can never be bricked and will never send data outside of my home. It talks to Home Assistant via MQTT and nothing else.

Sounds like they either used a boilerplate EULA or hired a lawyer who is unaware of the requirements imposed by the GPL. If it’s the latter then I hope they can get their money back.

EDIT: yeah, this looks like an unmodified GPL to me: https://github.com/layground/pockaw/blob/master/LICENSE.md

I use one of those daily and god they’re all terrible. They’re huge and they all break really easily. My phone is fucking huge, just give me a built in headphone jack!

I dunno, I’d slow your roll on that. Hanlon’s razor came to notoriety in the field of computer science for a reason. I’ve done software dev professionally for over ten years now and you wouldn’t believe the stupid shit I’ve seen people write. The only thing that sucks more than a computer is the human writing software for it.

For those unfamiliar, here’s Hanlon’s razor:

Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.

EDIT: After a quick look at the CVEs, this definitely sounds like a big ol’ fuckup. It sounds like there might be some unsafe defaults in polkit as well?

EDIT: Here’s the report from the actual researchers which is MUCH more cogent than OP’s article: https://www.openwall.com/lists/oss-security/2025/06/17/4

It’s chaining two separate oopsies together. This overview on GitHub also provides more details about the libblockdev side of things: https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-mpgj-hch9-5rvx

Specifically, this section:

However, a local attacker can create a specially crafted XFS image containing a SUID-root shell, then trick udisks into resizing it. This mounts their malicious filesystem with root privileges, allowing them to execute their SUID-root shell and gain complete control of the system.

That really doesn’t sound like something intentional to me. That sounds like a HUGE oopsy-woopsy fucky-wucky, to get technical about it.
