@: 나무위키 관선 운영자가 오늘 오후 4시경 디시인사이드에 나무위키의 사법 리스크 증가로 인한 법인 분리 및 국적 세탁(벨리즈 등)계획을 폭로한 직후 관리자 권한이 회수되고 영구 차단되었습니다. 나무위키기 실질적으로 전자신문 전 임원(또는 대표) 소유라는 이야기가 돌아다니던데 같은 언론계라 그런지 기사 하나 안 나가네요.

Computers should not act like human beings
Mark Weiser has written a really interesting article about just how desirable new computing environments, like VR, "AI" agents, and so on, really are. On the top of "AI" agents, he writes:
Take intelligent agents. The idea, as near as I can tell, is that the ideal computer should be like a human being, only more obedient. Anything so insidiously ap

Very happy to introduce a new tool, BookReconciler! You can take spreadsheets with book data and add subject headings, descriptions, ISBNs, HathiTrust IDs, & more. You can also cluster editions & variations of the same "Work." Led by @thisismattmiller.com@bsky.brid.gy and supported by @post45data.bsky.social@bsky.brid.gy.
Welp.

I'm thrilled to have been featured in the EFF's Breachies for uncovering security lapses in the info-sharing app TeaOnHer and stalkerware app Catwatchful, along with TechCrunch's security desk's coverage of data breaches at Blue Shield of California, PowerSchool, TransUnion, and more. Thanks, EFF!

For all the conspiracy theories about various cabals of shadowy figures running the world secretly, it's kind of exasperating to be able to point to specific named individuals - fucking Altman, fucking Musk, fucking Thiel - as being the actual driving force behind massive injustices and inequities, who can get away with this due to having the resources to make themselves inaccessible for any redress.
I fucking hate this situation.
@muninFi 🏳️⚧️ it's kind of fascinating how "clearly a cabal of tens of thousands across the world is doing secretive nonsense via unclear mechanisms" takes hold when "a cabal of hundreds is doing semi-open nonsense via extremely clear mechanisms" exists

Sam Altman is a greedy little shit and the world would be a much less stressful place if he did not have the resources to pull bullshit like this.

@dansup It can be very useful when used by a knowledgeable engineer with a good understanding of its weak points and limitations, and an eagle eye for its frequent mistakes. Sadly, that's a tiny fraction of how it's being used.
I picked up a Kinesis Advantage360 Pro #keyboard the other day but was struggling with what to do with my trackpad.
Way back in 2012 or so I stuck an original Magic Trackpad to my first Advantage2 between the key wells and thus it's been for more than a decade, but that doesn't work with an actual split keyboard.
Piecing together a few ideas I found on Reddit, I picked up a MagSafe-compatible phone stand and a steel ring sticker. Apply sticker to back of trackpad, magnet it to the phone stand, ✨ ergonomics ✨.
We'll see how long it lasts wrt tension in the stand's joints. Hard to say if it's super stiff just because it's cold.

I've just seen an absolutely disgusting article. I said "seen", not "read", because I'm blind and I could not read it.
for your reference, here's the first beautiful sentence of this article:
"ffGE ARrj XRejm XAj bZgui cB R EXZgl, Rmi mjji jrjg-DmygjREDmI XgRDmDmI iRXR XZ DlkgZrj."
I don't know the technology behind this BS, but screen readers see it as scrambled text, kind of encrypted or something like this. I guess it's some font juggling (ChatGPT supposed it's gliph scrambling, where random Unicode values are mapped to random letters — I'll trust her in this because I really don't care about the tech behind it), but if you have a tiny little grain of empathy, never ever ever do this, for goodness sake.
