That Siri was bugged in a way that activated it unintentionally, which then sends recordings to Apple, is not in dispute. Turning that into "they're always recording your conversations" is a big leap. Why would the whistleblower that revealed the recordings being misused not bother mentioning that?

So Apple and Google have created the most sophisticated spyware known to man, so undetectable that tens of thousands of developers and researchers have never even seen a sign of it, and then they use the data for ads so sloppily that anyone can prove they're listening?

Rainbolt, it's in the post title.

It's not quite as fancy as nala, but apt also has colour support since 2.9.

They're saying 50Mbps 4k is shitty, not that 4k is a bad example. Modern Wi-Fi can definitely handle high-bitrate video 99% of the time, but that 1% where someone turns on a microwave can cause hella buffering. If you have the ability to run ethernet there's no benefit to using Wi-Fi.

Yes, projects backed by multi-billion dollar companies do tend to be more resistant to that kind of attack.

It wasn't "easy" at all, they had to put in over 2 years of useful contributions before there was chance to insert the malware. If you're worried just stay on an older version, it should still open new files perfectly fine.

You might've been misled by the preview image, this has nothing to do with filtering pixel art. It's a really interesting read about how game developers can combat aliasing caused by rasterization, and a new method that's far more accurate than the alternatives.

To be fair, it does have the most potential to cause harm if you exclude every kind of fossil fuel. And hydroelectric. That said, there isn't a chance in hell I'm going to protest fission if the only alternative is more coal/gas.

Do you use it for anything other than syncing code? Currently I'm using plain SSH sync for all my personal git repos, and I'm not sure if there'd be any advantage in switching to Forgejo.

It's not too big of a leap

I think it is. I'd like to see at least one documented case of this happening before people start demanding that cars be able to move while plugged in. Plus, in the very scenario you describe, the car would still be able to move, no? Attaching a charger does nothing unless you're changing to parked at every red light.

The only time you'd need to drive away while charging is if the attacker walks up while you're sitting in your parked car, or kindly decides to let you get in before doing anything.

I can't find a single instance of someone being unable to escape because of their charger, so maybe let's worry about it if it ever becomes a problem.

Are you suggesting that no one is allowed to see Nintendo do a new bad thing and say "I'm no longer willing to give them my money"?

Not to mention there's nothing 'amicable' about a massive corporation, infamous for their lawsuits, approaching a single programmer with a deal that is obviously the only way to avoid being sued, despite the fact that emulators are legal.

If someone purchases a Switch game they have every right to back it up and use an emulator to play it. Instead of strongarming these projects into submission, the ethical thing would be working with them to sell legal access to ROMs.
