I see protests by pacifists also often "turn violent" in Germany, just like in the US. Curious. Peaceful protestors must just be naturally violent...I'm sure there is no other explanation

(please excuse the machine traslation)

How good is AI.

IKEA order arrived with a damaged box. The return AI booked a replacement drop off and pickup scheduled for Friday. All good zero touch customer rep experience. Status updates telling us it’s on the way etc.

Except it never arrived.

Called IKEA this morning took 45m of waiting and dealing with humans to discover. The AI had hallucinated the whole thing. The schedule was too tight For the warehouse to load the goods. So the AI just faked the rest of the delivery updates.

Cust rep couldn’t fix it so just created two new deliveries, one for the replacement and one for the damaged part pickup.
So much time wasted and inconvenience to our family.

Grr.

The newly Trumpified CBS "News" will now run interviews unedited.

This is a gift for liars who will now be able to deceive with impunity, because no interviewer can possibly counteract the firehose of bullshit that is standard issue for Trumpsters.

Copying an archive.is link of this OregonLive.com story because it probably deserves more attention and is behind a paywall:

"A former University of Oregon undergraduate who says he discovered a significant security flaw in the college’s computer network and twice reported it to university officials faced a disciplinary hearing as a result."

"Physics major Owen Mitchem said he was able to inadvertently access confidential information, including the Social Security numbers of more than 3,500 public university employees around the state, last fall, including of the university’s president and its football coach, the highest-paid public employee in the state. He says the breach should have been a wake-up call for the university to tighten its online security."

"But according to an email the university provided to The Oregonian/OregonLive in response to a public records request, the university’s associate dean of students, Dianne Tanjuaquio, concluded that Mitchem’s actions violated the school’s policies on “acceptable use of computing resources.” She required him to write a 750-word essay reflecting on the situation; if not completed, he could face a suspension of his student account, preventing him from registering for classes or changing his course schedule."

"Mitchem says he was just searching in Microsoft Teams for some budget figures for the physics club he ran when he stumbled across a spectrum of university financial documents, visible via files on SharePoint, a Microsoft tool that can be integrated with Teams. They seemed harmless at first glance, he told The Oregonian/OregonLive, but not something his student email permissions should have allowed him to view."

"Mitchem alerted a physics department grants technician and assumed the wide access would be quickly corrected. He later found out that the technician hadn’t alerted the university’s information department, meaning that unbeknownst to him, the IT department remained unaware of the security lapse, Mitchem said via email."

The #Forgejo monthly report was published ✨

A Forgejo security release was published, fixing nine low severity vulnerabilities. The Forgejo contributors agreed on rules for the use of AI and the documentation is nearly complete. The runner is considered secure enough to be used in production.

When I write plaintext mail, I want plaintext mail. I may have formatted things carefully.

Apple Mail now does a very stupid thing. It “inserts links” into plaintext mail, so if I write “interfluidity.com” what I get is “interfluidity.com <http://interfluidity.com/>” (lots of bad assumptions in that conversion!)

To stop this, as far as I can tell I have to right-click each occasion and explicitly select “Remove Link”. I can’t find a general setting to prevent the behavior.

Anyone know a way?
