Welp. I've been using GitLab for over a decade and have been pretty happy with it. Deployed and maintained several instances, some personal, some for small hobby orgs, some for work.

But it looks like it is time to ditch GitLab for good:

Jakiś czas temu portale niusowe zaczęły wymuszać zgody na śledzenie (chyba, że się wykupi subskrypcję) – co o ile mi wiadomo jest niezgodne z RODO.

A od niedawna zaczęły wyświetlać animację z serduszkiem jako "podziękowanie" za te wymuszone zgody.

Ależ to jest obrzydliwa bezczelność! 🤬

Nie tylko wymuszają zgodę, ale jeszcze plują człowiekowi w twarz i marnują czas (animacja trwa kilka sekund) "dziękując" za to, że człowiek dał na sobie tę zgodę wymusić!

Sounds like *someone* didn't get the cut they wanted from the illegal fees levied on ships that pass the Strait of Hormuz.

And so directed the US Navy to what I think could be described as "piracy".

Now consider what consequences ignoring maritime law and long-standing customs related to freedom of navigation, especially in straits, in the context of Strait of Hormuz might have for:
- Dardanelles and Bosporus
- Strait of Gibraltar
- Kattegat and Skagerrak
- English Channel

RE: https://flipboard.social/@newsguyusa/116391890275312187

So:

1. Trump starts an illegal war with Iran
2. Iran blocks the Strait of Hormuz, which is illegal as far as maritime law is concerned
3. "Negotiations" kinda-sorta happen; Iran demands the "right" to levy fees on ships crossing the Strait of Hormuz, again illegal in maritime law
4. Trump kinda-sorta suggests a "joint venture" with Iran on the (illegal) fees
5. Iran starts charging the (illegal) fees, reopens the Strait
6. Trump orders the ships that paid the fee to be "interdicted"

:thaenkin:

quoting
note1ue6…warl

“I have also instructed our Navy to seek and interdict every vessel in International Waters that has paid a toll to Iran. No one who pays an illegal toll will have safe passage on the high seas. We will also begin destroying the mines the Iranians laid in the Straits,” adds Trump.

For a long while now I've been thinking that technical organizations that have to deal with spurious / BS abuse reports should simply charge a processing fee against the frequent sources of these BS abuse reports.

After a second shitty report, they get an e-mail about what was shitty about it and that if these points are repeated in their next abuse report, they will be invoiced.

After the third, they get invoiced.

Back-of-a-napkin math, renting enough disk space to store 10PiB of data would cost tens of thousands of EUR a month.

CNN annoyingly keeps switching between "a hacker" and "the group". This is a great example where "hacker" should not be used at all – ignoring the obvious mis-use of the term (hacker is not the same as cybercriminal), "hacker" makes it seem as if it's some lone activist somewhere.

It's not. Not with 10PiB of data exfiltrated over 6mo.

And I am sure it is used by a lot of shady sites to fingerprint users and actually figure out protected information about them. It can absolutely be used that way, and Google needs to plug this huge privacy hole.

The explanation might be reasonable, because extensions do affect how websites work, sometimes negatively, and the list of extensions here seems to contain mostly extensions specifically interfacing with LinkedIn.

But here's my point: this kind of scanning is an overkill. And that alone is already bad enough and infuriating.

There is no need to make overblown, click-baity claims like BrowserGate site does. That just muddies the waters ("wait, how are they scanning my computer?!").

LinkedIn loads a lot of JS. In that JS there is a list of over 5.000 extensions, identified by their ids and with a single file path provided.

The JS then checks if it is running in Chrome or a Chromium-based browser, and cycles through that list, checking if these extensions are installed by doing a fetch() to "chrome-extension://<extension_id>/<file_path>".

If it succeeds, the extension is installed. If not, it isn't.

There is a fresh thing going around about LinkedIn scanning extensions installed in Chrome/Chromium:
https://browsergate.eu/

The website claims "LinkedIn is Illegally Searching Your Computer", and implies the purpose is to "religious beliefs, political opinions, disabilities".

tl;dr:
- yes, LinkedIn is scanning through a list of 5k+ extensions on Chrome;
- yes, this is bad;
- but the website is disingenuous in making unnecessarily clickbaity claims.

The "thousand monkeys with a thousand typewriters" approach to generating valid JSON. 🤡

#Claude #ClaudeCode

quoting
note1dl2…a6yz

So the reason that Claude code is capable of outputting valid json is because if the prompt text suggests it should be JSON then it enters a special loop in the main query engine that just validates it against JSON schema for JSON and then feeds the data with the error message back into itself until it is valid JSON or a retry limit is reached.

This code is so eye wateringly spaghetti so I am still trying to see if this is true, but this seems to be how it not only returns json to the user, but how it handles *all* LLM-to-JSON, including internal output from its tools. There appears to be an unconditional hook where if the JSON output tool is present in the session config at all, then all tool calls must be followed by the "force into JSON" loop.

If that's true, that's just *mind blowingly expensive*

Tyle, że ona nie jest nigdzie w pobliżu cieśniny Ormuz – a na drugim końcu Zatoki Perskiej, prawie setki kilometrów na północny zachód.

the important difference is the attitude. I have seen many attempts by some techbros to scrape fedi, and every single time it was met with utter hostility by the community. And a lot of times it did work.

Not to mention that while public posts are of course possible to scrape, a lot of people post followers-only for example. And on fedi that makes these impossible to scrape without actually being a follower.

On Bluesky however even "private" accounts are, effectively, public…

How About Some AI With Your Bluesky?

A tale of two social networks.

Last week some enterprising Mastodon account was discovered to be scraping posts to feed to an AI for the purpose of helping people navigate the Fediverse. The response was swift. The alarm went out. The account was widely blocked and shunned.

Yesterday to great fanfare #Bluesky announced, as a new corporate feature, all posts would be scraped and an AI would now help users navigate the ATmosphere.

in many very real ways USA's soft power – and hard power – is quickly being diminished in very real terms due to Trump's and his administration's actions.

And Trump himself is more and more seen as a dangerous fool among the "western" leaders, even if some of them still support him in some ways due to (say) particulars of local politics etc.

I'd warn against painting a picture of utter despair and lack of recognition of Trump's transgressions.
