OK. Try to imagine yourself in the Cretaceous period…

that kernel release (which most distros have still not shipped yet) fixes only one of the two vulnerabilities (CVE-2026-43284); afaik even upstream still doesn’t have a patch for the second one (CVE-2026-43500) at this time.

(for people relying on Linux privilege separation, here are mitigation instructions.)

unfortunately, like its predecessor (Nokia’s Maemo/Meego), Jolla’s SailfishOS has never been (and has never had plans to be) fully free/libre open source software.

many components of it are freely licensed, but not nearly enough to constitute an actual mobile operating system you can use.

unsurprisingly the HN comments are full of people defending Apple and telling OP he’s wrong about each of his points 🤦

Activity lights are useful

in even more ways than one might think.

(see also this and this later work from the same author…)

based on the other comments here i had to double check if this thread was in !shittyasklemmy@lemmy.ml smh my head

You’re correct on both points (🤦‍♂️ indeed).

I’ve now edited this post to link to their advisory text file instead of their advertising-heavy blog post about it which I had initially linked when the above comment was posted. Thanks.

Nice, thanks.

It would certainly be nice to be able to pre-download language pair models without selecting to and from and then actually initiating a translation using the model i don’t have yet.

re: getting uBlock externally, i also see the attraction of that approach but unfortunately Debian’s package was last updated in October (from 1.62 to 1.67) while AMO has a release from January (1.69) :/

imo it would be better to bundle UBO and ship its updates along with browser updates.

are there plans to distribute Konform via flathub?

Full-page machine translations are disabled

Firefox translations are done offline (after downloading the model for a langauge pair).

Does anybody know why Konform decided to disable this very useful feature?

your instance has a list of communities federated to it here: https://piefed.zip/communities

the most active community for announcing new communities is !newcommunities@lemmy.world (which includes communities on many different instances, not only .world)

howard’s awkward canard

could Red Hat eventually take control of the project

Fedora started in 2002 and merged with “Red Hat Linux” in 2003.

Red Hat, Inc has had full control of it ever since then.

It is a “community project” inasmuch as there are Fedora developers who are volunteers (and some who are paid by companies other than Red Hat), and the Fedora Council includes people who are not employed by Red Hat - but the Project Leader is always a Red Hat employee, and if the Council ever has an irreconcilable difference with Red Hat then Red Hat can simply ignore and/or dismiss them.

Red Hat owns all Fedora-related trademarks, and the Fedora Project is not an independent legal entity: it is a part of Red Hat.

If Fedora developers don’t like Red Hat’s decisions regarding the project, they can fork it but they’d need to change the name and find some other sources funding.

Also, icymi, Red Hat became a subsidiary of IBM in 2019.

maybe it would be better to say that it is stochastically accurate?

also btw icymi, this is a post about LLMs

Here is a youtube video purportedly showing one actually working; they’ve been taking pre-orders since last summer but wikipedia editors say it’s unverifiable so they remove references to it from their “Mosquito laser” article.

frequently changing one’s global git author config seems like a recipe for making mistakes. when using multiple git identities in the same environment, it’s better to use per-checkout configs so that you always use the correct one: git config --local user.name User; git config --local user.email user@example.com will write these settings to the checkout’s .git/config.
