It's like being a miner, the job isn't safe for work

This isn't an automatic complete win for them.

Being allowed to train under fair use rules doesn't mean you're protected if your LLM still regurgitates content.

You can still refuse. You'd have to sit in prison, but that's worth it at this point

You can find cat in most containers

Same supplier for cans / labels. Sometimes even the same packing / mixing (/ and something also brewing) plant. It's slightly more common with mislabeled soda. Alcohol is supposed to monitored and checked more closely before delivery.

IR transmitters

Miracast (in base open source Android, especially access to the ability to receive)

Scrolling notification text in the notification bar (seriously, that was sooooo much better than the obnoxious new default pop-up notifications)

A bunch of permissions that's been too locked down (stuff used by Tasker, networking tools, etc)

Type N is extremely common here in Sweden, without the ground part. Homes only have the F sockets, but extension cables usually combine both and tons of devices use the N plug

ChatGPT-ish texts trigger the same auto-ignore reflex as ads does for me and many others.

No, the container environment uses default open source libraries. You don't add any Steam dependencies to make software run in that environment. You can run it without Steam too. It's just that Valve are the ones maintaining and updating this particular packaging of containers. When Valve releases new versions of their container (including updated default system libraries), you have to test compatibility with it or stick to using an older one. Similar to how Windows software versions would work best with different Proton versions.

You can use the Steam SDK when using it, and you can also choose not to.

Flatpack is a separate thing, which only handles Linux software within the regular desktop environment (a different method for packing software dependencies, managing system permissions, etc). The main difference is that Flatpack software can integrate with the regular Linux desktop environment, but the container based solution is fully separate from it (runs in gaming mode).

No, Wine (and Proton) is a compatibility layer (API translation, etc). Containers is an isolation method which hides the details of the OS from the software and gives it a standardized environment.

No matter what Linux distribution you run Steam on, the only thing you need to do is to get the container system up and running. Once that runs, all software that runs in these containers will run on that device.

Why are you writing so much like it though, formatting and all. Did you ask it to format the list for you?

We updated our paper on Fiat-Shamir!

We now take a closer look at the gap between what symmetric cryptography has focused on for over 10 years (indifferentiability) and what is actually needed for the soundness of ZKPs and SNARKs (something stronger!).

Opossum is a cross-protocol application layer desynchronization attack that affects TLS-based application protocols that rely on both opportunistic and implicit TLS. Among the affected protocols are HTTP, FTP, POP3, SMTP, LMTP and NNTP.

Note: The vast majority of websites are not vulnerable as HTTP TLS upgrade (RFC 2817) was never widely adopted and no browsers support it.
