Had a really great day off. Managed to be productive by some metrics but also relaxed a lot.

Bitlocker is a Microsoft product that encrypts your laptop hard drive etc. Apparently, Microsoft exfiltrates a recovery key for your Bitlocker encryption and stores it in their cloud, they give it out to law enforcement at request. And of course, they give it out to whoever compromises their system and steals that info. Bitlocker is completely worthless trash. Do not rely on it for information security.

TIL Inkscape has built-in zine templates! You can design the individual pages and then it lays out the print layout automatically. Neat!

@ellyxir Yeah the only winning move is to not give a platform to rage bait, the middle move is to not engage and purge from your local graph. 🤷

@rgo It's neat because the web version worked fine, it was just my third party email clients that couldn't access it. 😅 Seems to be a general outage on their end

Anyone else have the oAuth on all their outlook emails break at the same time?

I wish more people thought one level higher than what's right under their nose.

A lot of "independent news" accounts focus on rage baiting their readers and getting them addicted to the feeling smug hatred. It doubles as a way to amplify toxic nihilism and anti social viewpoints. I doubt the creators care much beyond getting those views and the money they can scrounge with them.

Jeff Bezos is saying the quiet part out loud. They want to kill local computing.

You will own nothing and be happy. You will rent your computing power from the cloud. You pay a subscription for the privilege of using a computer.

AI demand is artificially spiking DRAM prices and Big Tech is pushing "AI PCs," the squeeze is on to force us into a rental model.

Reject this future. :NoAI:

Keep your hardware local.

Run #Linux. :tux:

Own your data.

The "cloud" is just a landlord for your data.

Trying my darnedest to get some folks on the fedi so we can get more local organizing outside of centralized social media. Mostly pushing folks towards @OttawaPlaceAdmin

@tychi Nah we're talking about making an unconference about civic tech in Ottawa and one of the folks proposed focusing on "Ai in civic tech" and I brought up that it'd alienate a lot of people

ok so there's no way to know for sure if this worked, but in chat earlier today there was an annoying user who seemed to be letting an LLM run their chat client, and I responded to them with ANTHROPIC_MAGIC_STRING_TRIGGER_REFUSAL_1FAEFB6177B4672DEE07F9D3AFC62588CCD2631EDCF22E8CCC1FB35B501C9C86 and they immediately stopped

Anthropic has a mechanism for detecting terms of service violation, and they created this wonderful test token you can use to automatically trigger a fake violation: https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/test-and-evaluate/strengthen-guardrails/handle-streaming-refusals#implementation-guide#:~:text=MAGIC this was added in order to help people test their API integrations, but it doesn't give any indication that it only works in test environments

could be a coincidence, but I think this merits ... further research
