Old Fucking Punk @lwriemen@librem.one

i don't know how to put this more simply:

fascism is bad
reporting fascism is not
fascists should have the shit kicked out of them frankly, but we'll settle for banning them
people who report fascists for fascist comments should not be banned.

if you can't manage that, you have no business calling yourself 'community', 'inclusive' or any of the other nice words you like to attribute to yourselves.

ALRIGHT! I'm VERY excited to announce this research, because we've been holding onto it for close to a year now!

Announcing File Notification Attacks! Side-Channel Leakage from the File-Notification System on #Linux, #Android, #Windows, and #macOS

We've found decades-old bugs on Linux, Android, and Windows... well technically Microsoft considers what we found an ✨ undocumented feature ✨ (got Microsoft nominated for the lamest vendor response #pwnie award haha).

There's SO much to talk about, so please expand this thread below, but you can also check it out yourself at:

There's a #noAI logo that my sister drew there. Our work was accepted at #CCS 2026, and I'll be presenting it this November at The Hague, Netherlands! If you're there, we should totally meet up :D

These days my first reactions to projects talking about AI in open source aren't even about the ethical disaster, the environmental disaster, the theft and gating of the commons or an of the other ludicrous externalities this blight of an industry has inflicted on all of us.

My first, most visceral reaction to people who should know better and spent years claiming they did is, what happened to your self-respect. Did you ever bother trying understand the things you said you believed in?

Gas prices are sky high, but good ol boys are still rolling coal. Hopefully they can keep making payments on those lifted trucks after diesel hits $10/gallon.

Which German biscuits can replace Digestive biscuits in pie crusts? I am tired of searching for Digestive biscuits every time I want to make a lime pie. Must be vegan! No rolled oats please!

So this guy randomly mentions that he's been working as an AI trainer, making $70 US/hr to proofread AI output from home...and apparently there are 30,000 people working on just one project. 🤔

Undocumented immigrants paid an estimated $96.7 billion in U.S. taxes in 2022, including $6.4 billion into Medicare. Yet, Ramya Gosike reports, they cannot enroll in Medicare.

I’m not saying that these folks are corrupt as shit, but I am saying that they’re not trustworthy to talk about cutting schools when 8th grade algebra classes have 42 kids to one teacher. I am saying it’s sus as fuck that they’re hiring out-of-state firms to manage bonds when there are local options that will comply with the law. I am saying that this school board seems more interested in selling our school district to private businesses than they are educating our kids.

🚨Canada is about to destroy #privacy with Bill C-22 — one of the worst surveillance laws.

We stopped Bill C-2 just last year (details: https://tuta.com/blog/canada-bill-c2-surveillance)

Let's do it again! We say #NoToBackdoors 💪

Because there's no such thing as "lawful access" for the good guys only.

We've signed an open letter against Bill C-22, please join the fight!

The part that is the most insulting, looking over this, is that there is not a single new idea, insight or engineering process in it. Every time there's an accidental code dump from some centibillion-dollar oligslopolist valley techcorp's newest bauble, announced by somebody cosplaying Steve Jobs and braying innovation innovation innovation, you crack it open and it's linux and some black-box model wrapped in cron jobs, shell scripts and reams of human text begging it to act right.

We’re going to have to explain to our grandchildren that once upon a time we put heroic efforts - research, engineering and practice - into making machines that could tell us yes or no, that when we told the machines yes, the yes would be unambiguous and that when we told it no, the no was certain. And then - once the machine could speak back to us in something like our own voices, once it learned to wear our faces and flatter the worst and most venal of all of us - we threw all that away.
