I would hope a law with such wide-reaching and destructive effect would have more rigor backing it than vibes and anecdotes like this, but I know that's wishful thinking.

They seem to be slow-walking it with a select few users like with that Toys'R'Us ad. Probably to figure out how to sell it without risking regulation when it's inevitably used against politicians.

My condolences to OpenAI-dependent developers who just discovered their product was a feature.

I'm not sure how someone can see enough of what kids do on their phones to have such confidence in their view of it without being invasive. I have no idea what most people do on their phones while they're in view, and I have no wa

This is why I took that part out. You're going off on this wild tangent based on a ridiculous misreading of something I took out because people were misreading it. I could have rewritten it better, but I took it out instead because i

I was a kid, too. I could spot and avoid the predators because my parents made sure I understood it was a risk, knew how to spot them, and knew I could trust them with any questions I had. In reality, I encountered more predators offline, b

Someone has to make that decision if we're going to start censoring. If I don't trust them not to label all queer content as porn (as they always do), why would I trust them here? Please, if you're going to march us into a

You're willing to support a broad censorship program that will affect everyone and harm marginalized people because you snooped on some kids on a train in a narrow, non-representative slice of their lives. You know nothing about them

It was a conversation with my parents. They told me what they didn't want me looking at and why, and wanted me to talk to them if I ran into something. We didn't respect each other on much, but they at least trusted me to be respo

You're going around peeking at what children are doing on their personal devices enough to have a representative sample? I'm not sure it's the internet they need protecting from... edit: removed the part that wasn't real

These movements never stop there. "Think of the children!" is always a cover to eliminate freedom of expression entirely.

Windows has restore points that do this in the event of a failed update, but this wasn't Windows.

There's a workaround: reboot 10-15 times. I've seen two people say it independently, so maybe it's for real.

They're a scientific organization that lives or dies on the whims of people who have to win elections. Outreach is survival, and reach is essential to that.

It looks like a configuration file update is the culprit. The software presumably picks up the update, then BSODs.

For much of their history they were written down or copied on carbon paper and manually processed by phone later. Electronic processing came in the 70s and wasn't universally used until much later. I saw plenty of credit card imprinter

Nothing is more annoying than having a user ask a litany of questions obvious to the person working on the problem and looking for the answers while working on the problem and looking for the answers.

I wonder if the changes they put in behind the scenes for your incident on Linux saved Linux systems in this situation and no one thought to see if Windows was also at risk.

by Kye 2y ago
Maybe a silly question, but: why hasn't this affected Linux? I assume it uses a proprietary kernel module just like it does on Windows. I guess this will come out in a post-mortem if they publish one, but it's been on my mind. edi

Crowdstrike seems like the kind of thing that's sold to CEOs at conferences, forced on IT against objections, and the subject of a lot of discussion at Defcon.

It made more sense before the blogosphere collapsed and you would see lots of unique takes from independent blogs instead of links to a few short posts on a handful of enormous social media sites plus maybe posts from the biggest still surv

I stopped making assumptions about what terms people see as abstract and which they see as concrete when I found out not everyone understands a few as three. https://www.merriam-webster.com/grammar/couple-few-several-u.

Exponentials mess with people's intuition. There is a finite number of things in the human body. There's also a finite number of interactions. Unfortunately, the number of interactions, while finite, are exponential, and we have n

Positives are diminished when the paths you wanted to pursue are closed off. Things that look like privilege when you don't have it can be a prison when you're stuck in its boundaries.
