Those aren't prompts. Those are ads. Call a spade a spade. "Microsoft tries to convince Windows 10 users to buy a new PC with full-screen ads"

Cybersecurity researchers have shed light on a Linux variant of a relatively new ransomware strain called Helldown, suggesting that the threat actors are broadening their attack focus.

"Helldown deploys Windows ransomware derived from the LockBit 3.0 code," Sekoia said in a report shared with The Hacker News. "Given the recent development of ransomware targeting ESX, it appears that the group could be evolving its current operations to target virtualized infrastructures via VMware."

Basically, it was historically a windows malware, and it has expanded its attack surface to include Linux.

So, a 1980s terminal device. Where you pay rent to use your computer and access your files, and you own literally nothing. Watch the masses flock like sheep to it.

Moto was semi modular. We all know how that ended. If hmd can get it right, where modules are supported throughout the phone lines (within reason, of course), then great. But I suspect capitalism will get in the way.

Crap like this is the reason I started to use adblockers. Malvertising isn't new, only the term is.

Nice collection of links. Thanks for sharing!

Bluesky is supposed to decentralized, though it doesn't seem to be. Threads being blocked doesn't change the fact that it is technically part of the verse, although a red herring. Maybe both poor examples, but they're alternatives to the verse, which was my point. Maybe adding a public mastodon instance as an alternative would have been a better example, but the main point stands: a uni isn't likely going to host their own instance, due to the inherent risk associated with it.

Honorable goal. But it won't work. From a business's perspective, hosting such a server adds inherent risk. They won't do it. You may be able to convince them to use the fediverse through threads or bluesky, but they won't host their own instance, even if the CTO/CIO/CISO agrees with your love for the verse. I'm not saying you shouldn't try. I'm saying you should provide alternatives to twitter and to self-hosted mastodon; alternatives that don't require self hosting anything.

I have a couple questions:

  1. Have you ever sacrificed any humans on that altar?
  2. How many humans have been sacrificed on they altar?
