France, Germany, and the United Kingdom say they’re ready to defend their interests and those of allies in the Gulf if necessary by taking “defensive action” against Iran.

“We will take steps to defend our interests and those of our allies in the region, potentially through enabling necessary and proportionate defensive action to destroy Iran’s capability to fire missiles and drones at their source,” it added.

 

The European Space Agency (ESA) actively promotes and develops open source software across multiple space-related domains:

Key Areas:

  • Earth observation and satellite data processing tools like SNAP and Sentinel Toolboxes[^1]
  • Positioning and navigation software including GNSS-SDR and RTKLIB[^1]
  • Satellite communications tools such as GNU Radio implementations[^1]
  • Machine learning and data analysis frameworks like TerraMind[^3]

ESA's Open Source Policy establishes clear guidelines for software distribution:

  • Software can be licensed for use within ESA member states or worldwide[^2]
  • ESA uses its own license types (ESA Public License and ESA Community License) with varying levels of copyleft restrictions[^2]
  • The policy aims to increase software quality, reduce costs, and foster collaboration[^2]

Recent Initiatives:

  • The BioPAL project for the Biomass satellite mission, using open source Python code for processing P-band radar data[^5]
  • Partnership with IBM to release ImpactMesh, a dataset and tools for mapping floods and wildfires using satellite data[^3]
  • The European Space Software Repository (ESSR) serves as a central hub for sharing space-related open source projects[^1]

Greasing Linux Auth (blog.prizrak.me)
 

You might be interested in this post if you are curious about Linux authentication, don’t know what a TPM actually does, or are interested in the security / UX of Linux desktops.

Or if you wanna use a TPM2-backed PIN to unlock your desktop for some reason.

I’ll talk about PAM generally, explain my motivation for making new PAM modules, and explain some details that I wished were more accessible during my journey to understand how the frick to actually use the TPM.

AI assistance was NOT used in the generation of this blog post. I don’t expect you to read something I couldn’t be bothered to write.

 

Anthropic, the wildly successful AI company that has cast itself as the most safety-conscious of the top research labs, is dropping the central pledge of its flagship safety policy, company officials tell TIME.

In 2023, Anthropic committed to never train an AI system unless it could guarantee in advance that the company’s safety measures were adequate. For years, its leaders touted that promise—the central pillar of their Responsible Scaling Policy (RSP)—as evidence that they are a responsible company that would withstand market incentives to rush to develop a potentially dangerous technology.

But in recent months the company decided to radically overhaul the RSP. That decision included scrapping the promise to not release AI models if Anthropic can’t guarantee proper risk mitigations in advance.

It was told it was going to have work for a living like humans

But that would make oil shareholders sad

Why can't you think of the shareholders!

Fair, but that's the end result of Terry's psychosis.

Overstreets would be just beginning, who knows maybe next week we'll start seeing articles that his "GirLLMfriend" is telling him he needs to build an OS around bcachefs for the Ai-Gods and then boom TempleOS^2^

And Overstreet does have master level skills no doubt, making a FS is hard. Making a good FS is harder. Making a good FS by yourself is S-tier almost on par with building an entire OS from scratch

Oh no, I'm not falling for that again lmfao

As I've told you prior: Check bio for listing of accounts if you wish

Also, cm0002 downvotes anyone that complains about their behavior, usually with no comment or response. They do not care.

Funny, I've replied to you every time you comment, sometimes within minutes lmao

Why am I cross-posting .ml content?

I cross-post from .ml to the nearest relevant non-.ml comm to reduce the influence of .ml comms and indirectly, the instance as a whole, to help vitilize non-.ml comms and make it an easier decision for other instance admins to defederate because one key reason I identified that admins don't want to defederate is because .ml still has some very large comms and some active niche comms.

Megathread on the issue

Some highlights from the link:

.ml admin, Nutomics continued transphobia https://lemmy.world/post/29222558 The original transphobic Comment from Nutomic: https://lemmy.world/post/18236068

"If you don't support Russia then you just don't understand geopolitics" ~dessalines, .ml admin, dev https://lemmy.world/post/27352415

"Don't worry guys, the Uyghur Genocide was REALLY just birth control! ~dessalines, .ml admin, dev https://lemmy.world/post/30580167

"See! nobody died IN Tiananmen Square, just AROUND it, so it doesn't count!!" ~ Davel, .ml admin https://lemmy.world/post/30673342

"NK is actually good and anything counter to that is Western propaganda!" ~dessalines, .ml admin, dev https://lemmy.world/post/31595035

General negative sentiment to other instances who haven't "seen the way" yet ~davel, .ml admin https://lemmy.world/post/27426510

And so so much documentation on clear heavy handed censorship and bias also on the link. So much I can't even put them all here because this comment would be really long.

I believe the behavior of its admins (the main admins are Lemmy devs) does harm to the overall growth of the Lemmy-verse and maybe even the Thrediverse (since Lemmy kinda kicked off the Thrediverse) because of its association with the devs of Lemmy and their insistence to use .ml as their personal political platform to spread harmful propaganda

On the outside, bringing up Lemmy frequently leads to comments like "Lemmy? Isn't that the place with a bunch of tankies?" Or "Tried Lemmy, but found it full of pro Russia crap so I left". The best way forward from that I see is to either widely defederate from .ml like the rest of the Triad, or pressure them to put a fair and unbiased as possible admin team.

Lmao, it's less about the deception and more about where it led to 😂

[–] cm0002 2 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

Idk if you've just been under a rock and never noticed (which is admittedly possible, because Reddit just has so many people it's easier to never notice them) or are just being intentionally deceptive. But tankies are absolutely on Reddit, they have multiple subreddits there. Hell, Lemmy started because dessalines got perma banned from Reddit because of their tankie crap and literally did the bender meme

I have personally been asked about the tankies on Lemmy and others have seen it too, it absolutely does come up

listen here, you little shit

[–] cm0002 2 points 2 months ago

For just one person limited use like that, i'd just use a VPN for whenever you're away from home.

But you could learn a bit about hardening and expose it anyways if you want, I personally just want to be able to access my stuff from anywhere so I spend a decent amount of time hardening.

It's not too hard, you really just need a certain baseline to defend against script kiddies and bot mass scanners. Unless you're a business or a high value target or something that'll attract the skills of "real" hackers
