Une étude confirme que l’épandage de différents #pesticides crée des clusters de #cancers
Les chercheurs ont identifié 436 «hotspots» à travers le #Pérou où le risque de développer un cancer est en moyenne 150 % plus élevé qu’ailleurs. Ce sont des zones touchées par la #déforestation, où les disparités socio-économiques et les pressions liées à l'utilisation des terres aggravent les risques d'exposition. lareleveetlapeste.fr/une-etude…

Microsoft managed to trouble some open source devs.

Microsoft Locked Out VeraCrypt, WireGuard, and Windscribe from Pushing Windows Updates
A mandatory verification requirement Microsoft introduced in October took them out.Sourav Rudra (It's FOSS)
if i were these open source devs, i would make a public announcement, that windows will no longer be supported.
People and companies who use their software can then choose to switch away from microslop or complain to them, that their software isnt being updated anymore.
Another wander back to 2012 and the SIPEXII expedition. At the last sampling site (unplanned, we were stuck) - we had a visit from a Minke whale!
It decided to expand a hole that a seal made the day before - in ice about 10cm thick and not quite solidly frozen - for some room to breathe. The whale hung around for quite a while, returning to this spot to grab air.
It was .. very spectacular.

Many years ago I had a somewhat friend named Albert Pot. I suggested he'd study pharmacy so one day he could start a pharmacy called A Pot Hee!
He warmed to the idea and thus studied tropical forestry 🤨 What he did do was to print little business cards.
A Pot invites you to A Pot Thee (small improvement, yet not true to the original)
Albert handed these out to girls who would often take him up on the offer. He was a gay dude, which caused great confusion to the girls: it was really just tea.

Big new Wasmtime security release today - 11 new CVEs found including 2 critical ones using LLMs.

If LLMs can find this many critical bugs in a project that is as rigorous about security as Wasmtime, then get ready for projects with weaker security postures to do a lot worse. Like,,, actually.

This also reminds me of f.duriansoftware.com/@joe/1163…
The only pushback I'd provide is that I think it's less "the people have chosen" and more "capital has chosen". We're here only because hundreds of billions have been sunk into this.

is it just me, or does the a. i. companies’ recent focus on automating exploit finding read as an “engage with us Or Else” ploy against the projects that wouldn’t take generated code contributions but can’t ignore security issuesJoe Groff (1M Context) (Durian Software)

in reply to Eugen Rochko • • •That's one opinion. I'm still wondering about your legal language and the name of my Mastodon instance.
There are more examples, like mastodonsweden.se or mastodon.nu - You're going to take action against them?
I understand you want to protect your trademark but the rules regarding what to name our instances and what hostnames/domain names we use is very overreaching.

in reply to Eugen Rochko • • •Not even Microsoft would threaten it's customers for naming a server "exchange.domain.tld".
I guess I'll just have kill my instance and leave Mastodon then. I thought Mastodon was something else. Too bad it turned out to be yet another corporate bullshit operation behind the scenes.
