Huh. I just bought something that came with a fake infrared remote.
It looks like one, but the LED isn't the usual IR, it's just plain red.
And the remote works even if that LED is blocked.

This is an RF remote! Not an LED remote!

@eff

someone should invent a containerization format with the explicit goal of being supported forever, by switching out emulation layers

bonus points: forward and backwards. not only can I run this code on ubuntu 38.15, it'll run on windows 3.1 too

I'm running Borland Turbo C++ for MS-DOS from 1993 and the reason it doesn't work is because Ubuntu 18.04 is too old

i am so sick of "minimalist" TV remotes that don't have room for a subtitle toggle or pause/rewind/forward, but they manage to fit dedicated Froobi and HydoPlus buttons.

"ohh, sorry, we couldn't fit the closed captions button. but you do get quick and easy access to Samsung TV Plus!" FUCK you

this is a bad thing because it’s going to make the games that currently use userspace EAC without issues depend on kernel-level malware.

the cyberpunk present is weird as fuck: the latest Shai Hulud malware wave contains an LLM prompt to create biological weapons and nuclear weapons, with the purpose to trip LLM safety refusals so that LLM-based code scanning wont see the malware

If possible, join or help organize a group for presenting employee problems to the man agement.

After enough years in software, you learn that LGTM doesn't actually stand for "Looks Good To Me".

Only the pros know its real meaning:

"Looked. Got tired. Merged."

Towards an open, federated review platform based on OSM

As I migrate away from big tech and towards independent solutions and in particular services powered by OpenStreetMaps and ActivityPub, I often find that the biggest missing piece remaining is that of a social element allowing for user reviews and feedback to locations on the map—in the intersection between the two services.

I have been playing with the idea of how this could be implemented, and decided would share my thoughts on a technically minimal and entirely federated standard for OSM reviews. The idea is to have a very basic ActivityPub integration that can work with even simple (microblog style) messages, allowing users to contribute reviews without having to sign up for additional services or necessarily install custom software.
