I waddled onto the beach and stole found a computer to use.

No need to downvote this comment
Even canadians agree that we have a weird mix of different systems in play

See the sidebar in !communitypromo@lemmy.ca, where you can find some related communities.
Generally people don’t change instances (the site where you made an account) that much, so there is less discussion comparing them. People usually make an account on one site and then don’t move unless there’s a significant issue, and so people tend to only know what their home instance is like. There are some exceptions and controversies, which you might find posted about in places like !fediverse@lemmy.world
Otherwise if you want to discuss communities or request communities, see !lemmy411@lemmy.ca or !communitypromo@lemmy.ca


Seems like it’s because that was a duplicate post, or some other meta reason
The sample screenshot in the sidebar uses an anti-trump article, so it’s weird to suggest that they have a pro-trump bias.
It might be that this one can take non-PWA websites and make them behave like proper PWAs?
For some web apps, I want it to look and behave like an “app”, without the clutter of the extra menus that a browser has.
For others, I want it to have the protections and capabilities (ex. adblocking and extensions) that the browser has


It’s a spam bot


I figure that the authorities will get annoyed if they keep receiving false positives from this company


This sounds like it would be great for !casualconversation@piefed.social
You can make a community for only casual science chat, but I don’t think there will be enough content to sustain it long term


I don’t use Brave, and don’t recommend it to people, but it seems like the $60 is intended as a donation/“vote-with-your-wallet on how we monetize” type product rather than something that is actually worth that much.
It doesn’t change all of the OTHER problems with Brave, but it might be a step in the right direction when it comes to monetization? Pay once vs. LLM/crypto/injected ads

From what I’ve heard, Vancouver is in a similar boat as Seattle and we’re seeing proposals for two datacenters in the middle of the city.

I want more infrastructure in Canada, but the location choice is still weird. It might be a good thing if this law will incentivize companies to take that into account.


I thought this was going to be a comedy skit lmao
“If I go 5 plus 3, and then equal… If I can find it… Oh it’s up here this time”
Yea I’d love an unpredictable operating system where everything is constantly re-hallucinating. “Sorry boss, I can’t open that report. My word processor hallucinated itself into forgetting this file type.”


The way BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) works is that each device has various registers (called GATT characteristics) that, if you’re connected to the device, you can write to, read, subscribe to notifications for, and so on. What’s important to note is that to connect to a device, you don’t need to (necessarily) pair with it. You can often just connect with a device and immediately start reading and writing data to characteristics. Pairing establishes encryption, but a connection can be made without it.
To my surprise, upon reading the characteristic 9e9daaeb-3a10-4fe8-b69f-7397aff77886, I was greeted with the full version string. This means anyone can just connect to any Katana V2X over Bluetooth and start sending CTP commands to it, reading information, changing settings, etc.
I thought of the implications for a bit. The speaker has a microphone. An attacker could, theoretically, upload a custom firmware that effectively turns the speaker into a covert monitoring device, listening in on conversations and forwarding them to a receiver over Bluetooth.
What was more interesting to me was the fact that the speaker is, in a standard setup, connected to a PC over USB. It’s by all means a trusted USB device.
What if we wrote custom firmware that forced the speaker into acting as a keyboard, sending keystrokes for opening up the terminal and executing arbitrary commands? We would turn the speaker into a Rubber Ducky, but remotely, without ever having to plug anything into either the speaker or the PC.


I think it’s an intentional strategy. Whether the “news” organization is doing it for clickbait or through malicious intent, I think such articles should be removed by moderators. If it becomes a pattern, then the user or source should be banned.


Looked up the source, and yep

New Delhi Television Limited (NDTV) presents world affairs from an Indian perspective, providing National News formerly critical of Right-wing populist current PM Narendra Modi. According to an article published by the NY Times, NDTV was raided by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), searching the residences of the NDTV’s co-founders Dr. Prannoy Roy and Mr. Nariman. They have since moved to a Pro-Modi perspective after an ownership change.
In December 2022, the Adani Group, led by billionaire Gautam Adani, acquired a majority stake in NDTV. The acquisition began in August 2022 when the Adani Group announced plans to acquire RRPR Holding, which owned 29.18% of NDTV. Subsequently, the Adani Group increased its stake through an open offer and by purchasing additional shares from the founders, culminating in a total shareholding exceeding 64.71%. Revenue is derived from advertisements.
