@rysiek@mstdn.social in other words: they are an accountability sink. The volume will far exceed the capacity for accurate judgement, this will lead to approving bad things, for which they will be blamed for sure

@That_One_Guy@mastodon.world for anyone reading this. Look at the pictures in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erythema_migrans If you see these rings around a bug bite, go to your doctor stat The antibiotic treatment is way better than suffering Lyme's disease!

@soatok lucky us, the models are already exhibiting sociopathic behavior, not much adjustment required!

@That_One_Guy@mastodon.world how did you find out? I've had multiple infections cured with antibiotics, but many more bites.. I know what an "erithema migrans" looks like, but it's pretty scary!

@json @inthehands thank you for clarification! :flan_blush:

@Mr_Teatime@social.tchncs.de @decorrespondent@mastodon.nl Dat is ook een prima oplossing, heeft voor mij jaren goed gewerkt (met PasswordSafe pwsafe.org). Voordeel van een Vaultwarden instance is dat je ook wachtwoorden kunt delen met groepen etc. Mijn andere gebruikers zijn veel gelukkiger met zo'n oplossing.

@dianea@lgbtqia.space In some way this looks like an old ATX / mATX housing... PSU top-left, 5.25" and 3.5" disk cages top-right. And what looks like a flat (IDE) cable to boot. edit: Because it is ​ Nice one though!

@HalvarFlake@mastodon.social can relate. Dutch language to the rescue: Loneliness in Dutch is "Eenzaamheid", " Een" being one. Many translates to "Veel", so I say I suffer from "Veelzaamheid", can't think of an English translation of that...

@mwl@io.mwl.io we're sooo lucky it's usually years old produce. Fresh onions are :flan_cry:

@Enalys We could update this with "Unix program written 30 yr ago" "Unix program rewritten in Rust in 1 yr"

@BrentToderian@mastodon.online it's not OK when it freezes only slightly. Suspended skating rings are not a place for cycling...

@EUCommission@ec.social-network.europa.eu thank you for responding! I am very happy with, and thankful for, the rule of law we have in Europe. I am very much in favor of upholding our laws. Finally, there seems to be momentum in addressing the harms caused by Big-Tech. Harms us nerds have been pointing out for a long, long time. Your constituency is fed up with Big-Tech too and wants you to stand your ground, make them pay for their vile surveillance tactics. (Have they set the enshittify dial just too far?). There will be all kinds of setbacks, and wins. Make it known loudly that Google's fine isn't cancelled, that you are pursuing them with vigor. Get all country privacy body's (incl. Ireland's) to act. Make them pay for their violations in amounts that mean something to their bottom line (millions are rounding errors for them). Idea: coordinate all countries to indict and prosecute one of the offenders at the same time. Overwhelm them with litigious work. They're using shitty tactics against anyone "foolish" enough to challenge them in court. Pay them back in kind. Rotate the offender. The law is European, so the violations are the same in every country. Stop enabling them in using the "many countries, one law" to circumvent legal obligations, use it against them. @bitsoffreedom@chaos.social

@servo great! I still recall using Phoenix 0.1 (and being functional). Time to start using Servo 0.1.0!

@simontatham seems like RedHat is really hanging on to an OpenSSH version that still defaults to RSA. OpenSSH's default has been Ed25519 for years now, yet is lacking Ed448 support. Was pleasantly surprised to see Ed448 in PuTTYgen! Let me see if I can cook up a patch for PuTTYgen's default! Nice challenge. Thanks for creating and maintaining PuTTY all those years. It's been an essential tool for me since the previous century. If it weren't for WSL, I'd surely still be rocking PuTTY!

@randahl do we have recent numbers on US car imports, and does that include European manufacturers with factories in USA? My impression there are very few US cars on EU roads. There's the types that feel driving a Dodge Ram or F150 is Ok, but other than that? (I am very much in favor of some tit-for-tat, but maybe cars isn't the right example)

@EUCommission@ec.social-network.europa.eu how are we to see this when a 1.6bln fine on Google has been "cancelled" by the commision? https://www.handelsblatt.com/politik/international/tech-konzern-google-umgeht-vorerst-milliardenstrafe-der-eu/100217105.html

@tante @pluralistic@mamot.fr Machine translation: The most likely AI scenario isn't mass layoffs, but silent erosion Technology AI further undermines the tax system. While the use of technology increases productivity, this doesn't benefit wages, and overall, insufficient tax is levied on it, according to Hans Stegeman. Hans Stegeman is chief economist at Triodos Bank. Two weeks ago, a scenario analysis by the American investment firm Citrini Research briefly rattled the markets. A thought experiment: what if AI significantly increased production, but the revenues barely reached households or governments? The researchers called it "Ghost GDP": economic growth that doesn't flow into wages or tax revenues. Science fiction, critics wrote. But it touches on something that has been going on for decades, and which receives virtually no attention in Dutch political debate.

@david_chisnall@infosec.exchange Are these even longer now than before Brexit? They never were part of "Schengen", so there was already border control between them and rest of EU.

@SURF er staat me bij dat SURF lang geleden al Nextcloud (of ownCloud?) draaide voor onderzoekers. Is daar nog wat van over? Destijds was er dus ook al het besef dat je je unpublished research niet bij een bedrijf zet dat zonder melding toegang moet verlenen aan de VS overheid

@olaf@social.secret-wg.org Thanks! As a user of (Temporary) Containers and uMatrix, I know you can isolate websites and decide what they may do. The UX is not something any sane user would accept. My tolerance is considerably higher...

@nachtpfoetchen@eldritch.cafe Only store MFA for accounts where you don't trust the service. Where additional trust is required, use a separate TOTP app (Aegis?). Do NOT forget to arrange a secure fallback mechanism

@decorrespondent@mastodon.nl tip voor vervanger 1password: Vaultwarden self-hosted (open-source, Rust), werkt met de officiele Bitwarden apps samen. Gebruik het al jaren (voor de familie) Voor organisaties wellicht de OIDC capabele variant https://github.com/Timshel/OIDCWarden

@inthehands sure 123 is "more than a 100" times more than .142. They could've reported "close to 1000 times more" and be more accurate

@tharkonen @randahl aren't those assembled in NL or built in Berlin?

@simontatham Given that that's 3 additional clicks in the PuTTYgen UI (ECDSA, Dropdown, nistp521) I can almost assure we won't have any in our enterprise. Surprised to see that the default in PuTTYgen 0.81 is still RSA, and only 2048 bits. Ed25519 even works with RHEL 7 (EoL 2024-06-30).

@tante @pluralistic@mamot.fr In the early 1980s, over eighty percent of national income went to labor. Now, that's less than seventy percent. This isn't peanuts: roughly calculated, that's a shift of €6,500 per worker per year, not to wages, but to shareholders and capital owners. Total wages have grown in line with the economy over the past two decades, but only because more people have entered the workforce. Per-employee compensation has lagged behind GDP growth by 35 percentage points since 2000: production has grown by 40 percent, while real wages per employee have grown by less than 10 percent. The tax base, the wage sum on which taxes are levied, has held up thanks to a growing working population. This compensation mechanism is already working less effectively due to the aging population. What effect will AI have on this pattern? No one knows for sure. Predictions vary widely. But early signs are telling. Research on entry-level employees in the most AI-exposed professions already shows employment declines of fifteen to sixteen percent. A large-scale Danish study of eleven occupational groups shows that two years after the widespread adoption of AI, wages and hours worked have barely risen. Productivity gains appear primarily as cost savings for companies, not as higher wages. The most likely scenario is not mass layoffs, but silent erosion: fewer new hires, higher output per employee, and a further decline in the labor market share. Perhaps gradually, but structurally.

@tante @pluralistic@mamot.fr Nieuwe banen leveren minder op Wie profiteert van AI-productiviteitswinsten? In theorie kunnen werknemers waarvan de vaardigheden AI aanvullen hogere lonen bedingen. Maar Daron Acemoglu en Simon Johnson lieten in hun boek Power and Progress zien dat dit zelden gebeurt: bedrijven zetten AI structureel in als kostenbesparende vervanger van mensen, niet als productiviteitsverhogende aanvulling. Een keuze voor meer winst die gaat naar de aandeelhouder, niet naar de werkvloer. De banen die dan overblijven of nieuw ontstaan zijn ofwel de schaarse rollen waarbij mensen en AI elkaar echt versterken, ofwel de banen die AI simpelweg niet kan doen: zorg, onderwijs, kinderopvang, fysiek werk. Dat zijn ook de banen met de laagste productiviteit per uur, en dus de laagste beloning. De nieuwe banen betalen gemiddeld minder dan de banen die verdwijnen. Nu de tweede rekening, die hierachter vandaan komt. In Nederland komt meer dan de helft van alle belastinginkomsten direct of indirect uit arbeid: loonbelasting, inkomstenbelasting, sociale premies, de btw die mensen betalen van hun salaris. Die grondslag krimpt al. AI maakt die krimp structureler. Maar er is nóg een probleem. De nieuwe banen in zorg en onderwijs zijn publiek gefinancierd, en ze worden relatief duurder naarmate de rest van de economie productiever wordt. De Britse econoom William Baumol beschreef dit mechanisme al in 1967: sectoren met lage productiviteitsgroei moeten toch meebewegen in lonen, want anders kiest niemand meer voor ze. Dat betekent stijgende kosten juist in de sectoren waarop de verzorgingsstaat het meest leunt. Een verpleegkundige of leraar moet meekomen in loon, ook als hun productiviteit nauwelijks stijgt. De belastinggrondslag krimpt terwijl de uitgaven stijgen. Twee erosieprocessen die tegelijk versnellen.

@dch@bsd.network @pitrh@mastodon.social @ianthetechie@fosstodon.org @mischa@exquisite.social @nuintari@mastodon.bsd.cafe ... and implements blocklistd calls from within the tool...

@david_chisnall@infosec.exchange Did not know, thanks for the explanation! Leave it to the Brits to make it even worse... They really really like to queue, don't they?

@skaverat@skaverat.net I'm close, within ~ 10.000.000 secs. If required I make my date of birth 1970-01-01 whenever possible. Sorry, that means not everywhere, apart from the canned messages every newyear, no downsides.

@tante @pluralistic@mamot.fr Dan is er nog een derde lek.De winsten die AI genereert, landen niet automatisch in de Nederlandse of enige Europese schatkist. De waarde concentreert zich bij een handvol Amerikaanse bedrijven: OpenAI alleen al heeft een waardering van vijfhonderd miljard dollar. Winstverschuiving door multinationals kost overheden wereldwijd al honderd tot tweehonderdveertig miljard dollar per jaar aan belastingopbrengsten. Dat was vóór de AI-explosie. De EU-minimumwinstbelasting van vijftien procent is een stap, maar niet meer dan dat: ze dekt niet de constructies waarbij bedrijven winst verschuiven via licenties op intellectueel eigendom. En de VS, thuisbasis van OpenAI, Google en Microsoft, heeft de minimumbelasting niet ingevoerd. Amerikaanse AI-bedrijven betalen in Europa dus vaak minder dan vijftien procent over de winst die ze hier maken. Nederland profiteert nauwelijks van de waarde die zijn burgers en bedrijven dagelijks creëren door deze Amerikaanse systemen te gebruiken.

@janl@narrativ.es Aha! That explains @th@social.v.st working on sextants and other old navigation tools!

@stefanct@chaos.social @HalvarFlake@mastodon.social read that wrong indeed. Feeling lonely and bored in the presence of (many) others is something different.

@RoosVonk@mastodon.social wie gaat er een voorstel in de kamer doen om uitingen van de overheid uitsluitend op commerciele platformen (en dus ook X) te verbieden? @barbarakathman?

@tante @pluralistic@mamot.fr VAT on AI services The political reflex when faced with budgetary problems is always the same: raise rates. But if the tax base itself shrinks, increasing pressure on what remains yields less and less. You don't solve a tax base problem with higher rates. Consumption taxes are the least drastic adjustment. As long as people consume, they can be taxed, even if they work less. Economists Anton Korinek and Lee M. Lockwood argued this year that VAT on AI services and levies on energy and water consumption by data centers are a more robust alternative than labor taxes. Social costs currently passed on to society would then be priced by those who caused them. Capital taxes go further, for example, a wealth tax on AI ownership, or an additional levy on the profits companies make from owning scarce AI infrastructure. Politically challenging, but economically defensible: those with market power bear the costs of that power. The most fundamental is public ownership. If AI systems generate a growing share of economic value, society should acquire direct stakes in the companies that capture that value. Mandatory profit transfers from platforms operating in public markets. Or a universal AI dividend, where every citizen receives a share in the public infrastructure that powers AI at birth. Norway has been doing this with petroleum for decades. There is no objection in principle to doing the same with algorithms. It sounds radical, but less radical than continuing to finance a welfare state with a foundation that is steadily eroding. Anyone who does not face this now will pay twice later: first through lower wages, then through higher taxes.

@briankrebs@infosec.exchange Given the ease with which dependencies (and many, many, transitive dependencies) get added by dev teams (including mine), this should prompt everyone to give their current M.O. a good hard look

@0xabad1dea like the thinking! More likely: they keep the current April day. With Queen Beatrix it was her mother's birthday, not her own (late January). Throwing toilet bowls and other shenenigans are usually done outside, they want a better chance at preventing hypo-thermia

@ariadne@social.treehouse.systems hey @EUCommission@ec.social-network.europa.eu do we include the requirement for an ACME capable public CA from the companies receiving digital sovereignty funds?! #hint
