Gonna ditch bothering with graphical media players and use a systemd service for music playing from my smb share.
I love Mondays. Refreshed from the weekend. No meetings so I can actually code and write. Maybe I'll have time to actually cook a yummy lunch today.

@beka_valentine It frustrates me a bit tjat web browsers no longer support protocols outside of HTTP and that cloud folks have pretty much solidified on using HTTP everywhere as well. 🤔

One thing about the Microsoft Recall thing is it's defs going to be used to train AI to make a sort of "Digital Twin" of people using computers. At least I'm guessing that's why they want all this user data.

I'm disappointed in how hacking works in real life. I'd played enough video games to have an idea how it would go, but I've been hacking games and hardware for like a decade now and not even once have I had to solve a pipe maze puzzle

With the impending doom of ICQ in June and the new crappy version of Teams coming in July, I would like to post this meme one final time

I got ahold of the Copilot+ software.
Recall uses a bunch of services themed CAP - Core AI Platform. Enabled by default.
It spits constant screenshots (the product brands then “snapshots”, but they’re hooked screenshots) into the current user’s AppData as part of image storage.
The NPU processes them and extracts text, into a database file.
The database is SQLite, and you can access it as the user including programmatically. It 100% does not need physical access and can be stolen.
@homestucklinebyline Me once I finish my @stardustxr setup
@stebalien@emacs.ch Nice. I have firefox opening all zoom links in a container.
Made a #greasemonkey script to redirect zoom to the web version automatically. I hate the zoom app and I hate having to manually convert invites :P

@skryking Yeah that's a cool idea. I wonder if it'd be able to run efficiently on IoT devices. I think a cli tool that can tunnel anything over tcp could be cool. Kinda like the wormhole stuff built on top of hyperswarm
@skryking Nothing yet but one of my clients is going to be doing secure decentralized storage for activist use cases. I'm hoping to integrate it with @agregore as a sort of "hidden services" protocol where you connect a local http server to a veilid tunnel and can load `http+veilid://{tunnel id}/` in Agregore to access it from anywhere. Unsure when I'll get around to releasing it yet. :P

DuckDuckGo, Microsoft Copilot, ChatGPT's web search, Ecosia, and Qwant all stopped working this morning because of Bing API. 😂 And they want Microsoft Copilot deeply integrated with Windows OS. Imagine someone is unable to book emergency medical appointments because Microsoft Copilot is down or you can't withdraw money or transfer funds through netbanking because AI and screenshot services are down. This is a good example of why we must not trust someone like Microsoft for anything serious.
Potentially this could lead to some easy to use node APIs?
A nightmare woke me up a couple hours early today so I decompressed by getting #Veilid to run inside node.js via Neon bindings to Rust.

The Willow Sideloading protocol is a new protocol for securely delivering Willow data by whatever means possible. USB keys, email attachments, torrents, and other ad-hoc means make a “sidenet” we can use to deliver eventually consistent data using the infrastructure users already have.
