You are mistaken. Dig into tracker-miner-fs, d-bus activation re-parenting, as well as the snap callbacks that can trigger arbitrary local code execution. Usually found in a directory under /usr/libexec in addition to its regular

Not likely at all. Person A. B is controlled by A, and C impacts A's control of B. The concept of B solving C, while at the same time having no impact on C, is patently absurd (contradictory), and the reasoning path demonstrably circu

Most likely, starting in 2025, we will have hit a point of no return. It won't be considered this until much later, if there are people who manage, but still it will be a great year. Great... but terrible things will be coming. AI will

I think you are overthinking this. Consumers rely on advertised claims being truthful. It is not a matter of people badly predicting their own needs in most cases,though there are some that do have problems with this. It is a matter of peop

That is categorically untrue. The internet was available well before 94. AOL and Compuserve were available and provided access to quite a large number of people starting in 85 iirc, and by 89/90 their free month promotions targeting fa

Many would disagree, solely on the basis of the many knock-on effects where such companies in other areas have cut corners with egregious failures. > Augmenting a parent so their child has a world class tutor is incredible stuff. So does

I have no children yet, but I would never consider introducing LLMs until my children reach a point of maturity where they can accurately detect sophisticated deception. Even after that, I would consider these constructs as dubious in natur

I hate to reign on your parade but Canonical (Ubuntu) is doing the same thing as Microsoft just to a slightly lesser extent. The same pretty much goes for any of its many derivatives. Redhat is no longer open. Arch and alpine based have har

Lawmakers have created endless nests of ordinance, law, etc deferring responsibility to other aspects of government. Regime change plans generally involve sabotaging resilient systems to make them become brittle. Then you force those system

I suppose that would depend on your working definition of correctness. If correct means its legally unenforceable and practical and you only take that into consideration in isolation, then yes, right up until logarithmic error occurs, as yo

There is no real future in AI long term. Its use caustically destroys more than it creates. It is worthy successor of Pandora's box.

While an interesting perspective, this HN article is a poster child for how not to resurrect old blog posts. Initially, I was not sure how much credibility to give this because there were no corroborating records for the time period specifi

In my opinion, your setup is likely to be insufficient for the purposes you want, and in some minor or not so minor ways may be more likely to draw additional scrutiny (i.e. grapheneOS (minor)/tailscale(?)). Physical access is almost n

That line of reasoning neglects the fact that there is very little control in such systems that differentiate between the subspecies. CRISPR for example has been hailed as surgical tool for slicing DNA, and works well in controlled environm
