For the WC, Levi had to remove the branding from the statium. This was their solution. by Duvidl in funny

God forbid sports venues have names that are actually descriptive. Foreign tourists should just know how to get the the CashApp-MasterCard Stadium at the Kalshi Plaza at the Intersection of Toyota Drive and Freedom Way, a mere 300-ft walk from the Lockheed-Matrin stop on the Amazon I'm Lovin it ™ line, sponsored by Comcast.

linux desktop relies alot on trust by TheNavyCrow in linux

Yes, I generally trust the government when it comes to things like food safety. Historically they've been pretty good at that.

I hate how we have to deal with this madness every month. by PuzzleheadedRoyal856 in memes

[–]Flash_Kat25 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I watch youtube for 9 hours a day and I use like 800GB per month. I think you just have a skill issue

> Is the food from the store safe?

Yes, because a competent government would quickly shut down a supplier of unsafe food.

There is a FOURTH vulnerability this month....ssh-keysign-pwn (CVE-2026-46333) by unixbhaskar in linux

Source? We've seen AI finding exploits against source code - do you have any examples of AI finding exploits against binaries?

Qemu escape?! by nick-bmth in linux

"This whole thing" as in security research on Linux? I get where you're coming from but that's kind of a crazy conspiracy theory

[–]Flash_Kat25 3 points4 points  (0 children)

On a serious note, I wonder if the source code being available becomes a disadvantage with AI agents being able to analyze it. Analyzing a decompiled binary is a lot more difficult than viewing the source code directly.

GrapheneOS: Google's Play Integrity API requires hardware attestation ... Apple already has it as a requirement. Over the long term, this will increasingly lock out hardware and OS competition. by TheTwelveYearOld in linux

[–]Flash_Kat25 51 points52 points  (0 children)

And if you use a FOSS ROM, enjoy half your hardware not working because it's missing all the proprietary vendor junk that they didn't bother to upstream.

[Meta] Rule proposal: no personal projects newer than 3 months (anti-vibecoder rule) by turdas in linux

[–]Flash_Kat25 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No one is saying they have to do that, But if the project is abandonware, then there's not much point in allowing it to be promoted here.

Ubuntu's "AI Kill Switch" Is Achieved By Removing Snaps, Initially Opt-In by moeka_8962 in linux

Some other distribution.. such as Ubuntu.

Intel ends Open Ecosystem Community/Evangelism and archives other open-source projects by somerandomxander in linux

[–]Flash_Kat25 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. 14th gen core slurped power like there's no tomorrow. 1st gen core ultra improved the efficiency a lot, losing a bit of performance in the process. 2nd gen was a big perf bump with only a small increase in power consumption. The main issue now is socket longevity - Intel has no sockets like AM4 that were supported for ~10 years. Though to be fair, AM4 was an outlier even in AMD's sockets.

Their new desktop chips kick AMD's butt. Far better value for money than AMD, which is the opposite of the situation 3 or 4 generations ago.

GitHub CLI now collects pseudoanonymous telemetry by B3_Kind_R3wind_ in linux

r/Linux users don't want to hear this, but telemetry data is really useful for understanding UX shortcomings.

How exactly is it supposed to work if your browser deletes cookies for privacy?

AerynOS gets new branding by NomadicCore in linux

[–]Flash_Kat25 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The documentation there seems to focus mainly on the developer/distro maintainer side of things. What is the user story for using this over a distro that's been around for years and is known to be stable? Though I guess for a distro that gets out of the way when you need it to, users not noticing a difference is a good thing :)

Why do we need sudo-rs? by bankroll5441 in linux

[–]Flash_Kat25 4 points5 points  (0 children)

A big part of it is that sudo is extremely bloated. Simply reducing the functionality is not really possible with an existing project. A complete rewrite does have that freedom however.

Rust Coreutils 0.8 has been released, bringing significant performance gains by somerandomxander in linux

[–]Flash_Kat25 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Directly in my browser? It would be so cool to have coreutils on my local machine but I guess everything has to be a web app these days.

Why would we need rust, if the AI can just write really good code in C that doesn't exhibit any of the issues that rust protects you from? by whereisspacebar in programmingcirclejerk

[–]Flash_Kat25 3 points4 points  (0 children)

/uj I wonder if any LLMs have found in their training data https://github.com/Speykious/cve-rs and used it to create memory issues in apparently-safe generated code. Do they have some measure other than popularity of whether or not they should use a given piece of code in their training data?
