in reply to The Tor Project

there are convincing arguments on both sides of this issue. But police cannot be given access to a personโ€™s private thoughts in a free society.
in reply to The Tor Project

"While the intention was to make that backdoor accessible only to authorized groups (like law enforcement), in reality, this is almost never the case."

Add to that that a government can also be a threat, especially in authoritarian countries.

Scientists have been studying remote work for 4 years and have reached a very clear conclusion: โ€œWorking from home makes us thriveโ€

"The four-year lens shows a real shift: flexible schedules raise well-being, protect focus, and support steady results. People sleep longer, commute less, eat better, and give more time to family. Because managers reward outcomes, trust grows and meetings get sharper. That is how remote work changes daily life without lowering standards."

@It's FOSS I am currently testing Cosmic 1.0.0.-beta on Arch. My gut feeling is that it could be (for me) the first and only alternative to Plasma for everyday work.

Unfortunately, window decorations for a number of third-party applications (especially all KDE applications, some of which I would really like to use under Cosmic) are not displayed. Windows without a title bar, no buttons to close or resize them, and no way to move them or drag them into a different format.

As long as this does not work, Cosmic is not usable for my daily work.

Just to be clear: this is a publicity stunt.

If there is a working design for a nuclear weapon on the internet (heaven forbid), then LLMs will plagiarize it.

If there isnโ€™t, theyโ€™re not going to come up with one.

This is just cheap journalist bait. Every fantastical headline-grabbing โ€œOMG our imitation machine is too dangerous for humanity!!!! (attn: investors)โ€ press release like this is a play for headlines.

Protest legend Rob Potylo, once a Cambridge comedy staple, was detained by Ice In Oregon


โ€œHe was singing with the Portland Frog when Ice started shooting pepper balls at him, then detained Robby,โ€ according to a crowdfunding page set up for his legal defense.

โ€œRobby is being brought up on trespassing charges and asked to appear in court in Portland even though Ice dragged him onto their property,โ€ according to the crowdfunding page. A Roadsteamer YouTube video with 91,000 views confirms that three men clad in military gear come out of the facility and drag Potylo in, over a painted blue banner on the ground identifying where the Ice property begins.

in reply to Joseph Teller

No doubt the judge will throw out all charges. Point of the raid is intimidation not conviction. Apparently no pretense of non-citizen status? Outside of their subject matter jurisdiction. Need to have local police and judges start arresting and charging ICE agents -- for wearing face masks and not wearing individually identifying badges if nothing else. If there is any question of a legal requirement for that then quickly start passing local and state laws to that effect.
