Secure Boot-neutering PKfail debacle is more prevalent than anyone knew

Keys were marked "DO NOT TRUST." More devices than previously known used them anyway.

So apparently you can't have QR codes too close to one another or they won't work?? I was told this doesn't work, but it works fine for me. Anyone want to give it a shot, please?

Strange. None of them worked for me. I didn't know that was a problem for QR codes. TIL I guess.

I sure hope the Teamsters get with the program. There's no world in which a GOP administration isn't bad, bad, bad for unions.



#NewInkDay and #NewPenDay. Not feeling good so not able to take a good picture, but wanted to celebrate though.

The E95S M is an 'upgrade' of sorts to my currently used E95S EF.

The Plasier is a Christmas present to penable my cousin's daughter (12 yo now).

The Varsities are too carry around and penable random people.

Kon peki had just been on my want list for awhile.

TIL that a #BlackBox #AI can be defined as #OpenSource.

Granting the “freedom to fine tune” cannot be enough to qualify as Open Source AI just like granting the “freedom to configure” cannot be enough to qualify as Open Source Software.

Yet, for #OSI it's enough.

And you can't provide effective solutions to the problem they pretend to see into making training data available.

Or you will be silenced.

I really think that every marginalized group that suffered #discrimination and systemic oppression should join the discussion about #OpenSourceAI

If a black box will be distributed, regulated and trusted as #OpenSource, no human right organization will be able to inspect the dataset used to train it.

And if you can implant undetectable backdoors in a machine learning model (see arxiv.org/abs/2204.06974), you can much more easily implant undetectable bias that will hurt some groups of people to benefit others.

#LGBTQ people and victims of systemic #racism should really demand transparency,...before it's too late!

I think the method described on linuxphoneapps.org/apps/org.kd… should work there too get the settings menu there, too - for now, I totally agree it should be available without tricks like that. @rakekniven
