So… AI gets my water. AI gets my clean air. AI gets my electricity. AI gets my raise.

Check out Framadate. It’s hosted (and IIRC developed) by the French non profit org Framasoft.

Obtrusive space advertising is defined in U.S. federal law as “advertising in outer space that is capable of being recognized by a human being on the surface of the Earth without the aid of a telescope or other technological device.”

Too bad they have the requirement for a technological device. Else I’d be able to argue that I shouldn’t get any ads from satellite TV or when using Starlink or…

No, I mean we humans are deuterostomes - meaning at one point in our embryonic phase we were nothing but literal assholes. Then we developed from there (hopefully)

So did you. And I. The big question is what made us change while they didn’t?

Guess where they’ll build the stadiums… I heard they currently have a huge area of land paved flat

The prompts their LLM’S followed were in plain text. They failed to read.

In this case it WASN’T plain text, though. He printed the prompt injection and then ANSI escape characters to immediately hide them from a terminal output and the human eye.

They only failed to read because he made them fail in an unfair way.

On the plus side, Witcher III on PC is usually dirt cheap in a sale.

I think it’s quite ironic that NVidia gave a free copy with the RTX 50 series in the last few weeks and the first thing I see when I checked yesterday is that Valve had to open a bug with NVidia because their drivers seem to crash the game in Proton…

I � Unicode!

Uhmmmm wtf? I haven’t consciously seen something like that in any of their reviews LOL. And I clicked on some random other ones and didn’t see something like this. And it wasn’t even published on April 1st?!

Can confirm, mine came in a plain brown box. Obviously Valve as the sender and a battery warning label, but no other obvious hint to its contents.

After opening the first box, I found a second one that’s way more telling inside, but nothing on the outside.

If you’re generally looking for Indie games (meaning smaller teams, max. AA budget), there much selection in this comment section.

If you mean hidden gems, that not many people have played/know about, then take a look at https://buried-treasure.org/

Yeah, I was reading this and thinking "they have a point, if they refer to talking about a personal project. They might have a point in some place where a simple auth and session cookies are enough.

Go into a company infrastructure that has a multitude of different systems (first and third party) and also some identity management system and SSO - now we’re closer to the use case of a JWT. There’s a saying “never roll your own crypto” - that somewhat applies to auth as well. There’s so much that can (and will) go wrong.

They do have a point about token revocation (or the additional round trip for that), but… I’m the scenario above, why would you issue tokens that are valid longer than a day or a few hours??

Been there. It’s somewhat ok if they do it consistently. E.g. registration and login form both allow more than 16 chars and then just truncate the password silently.

Worse is if the registration form does it, but the login form uses the full password you entered (or vice versa) and then the login fails because the password doesn’t match…

Only downside: Initially the creator of a Flatpack defines how it is sandboxed. For Steam it’s rather permissive. It’s not like on mobile where you get asked for permission for everything potentially dangerous/privacy invading, but rather like the earlier days on mobile where you install a Flatpack and implicitly allow all permissions it wants.

An update might change the permissions or introduce new ones. You can use tools like Flatseal to change the permissions of installed Flatpack apps, but keep in mind that those changes will probably be gone after the next update and can introduce problems.

In the end, sandboxing something like Steam is hard, as you not only need to think about Steam’s permissions, but also any game you might run from it…

IIRC Discover on KDE also tells you on the update list. But only somewhere in the list of updates - theres no explicit dialog warning you of changes/new permissions
