  So the concept of the CVE is undergoing inflation because the slop companies have a vested interest in turning every minor bug into a dangerous security issue? To make it seem as if "AI" code scanning tools are better at finding security issues than they really are? Am I off the mark here?

  I'm this close to buying a Japanese Panasonic Let's Note laptop just because they have adorable round trackpads, every legacy port, and a disc drive in the weirdest of places. I will not ever use it.

  I'm sorry my German friends, but if a party wants to stop sending weapons to Ukraine, that party is pro-Russia. 🤷‍♀️

  There's a /target/harness in the .gitignore. Is this slop? https://github.com/trustsig-eu/Chip8CSS

  So I think getting an Athlon XP 1600+(-ish) processor, compatible motherboard, and GeForce 2 videocard is probably easier than buying a complete system.

  Does anyone have a 2000-2001ish PC lying around? I need one for Mandrake Linux 8.1. 😬

  American tech media are already saying every single foldable up until this point was just made to counter Apple's eventual entry into the market. It's absolutely bizarre. These people are insane.

  "I read slop output every day but it doesn't affect my writing" is one hell of a monolingual non-traveller thing to say. Bitch I spent three weeks in Texas when I was 17 and my English is still recovering from it.

  There's a real pent-up demand for a Linux distribution as nicely made as Fedora or Elementary, but focused on providing a more classic, retro experience but *with* all the modern amenities. I have high hopes for things like cow, which brings a classic fvwm experience to Wayland: https://codeberg.org/thomasadam/cow Building something from components myself costs time I'd rather spend with my kids, or, I don't know, shoving shards of glass underneath my fingernails.

  >Editor’s note: This is an English translation of an interview originally published on FabScene, a Japanese web media outlet covering hardware, digital fabrication, and maker culture. Context has been added for readers unfamiliar with Japan’s electronics scene. A translation is a work of art. If you do actually get a real translator - and it seems they actually did here - name them. Credit them. I know I'm fighting a battle long lost, but as someone with two university degrees in transl...

  I see Hugo is slop now? Can scratch that off the list for my alternate OSNews experiment.

  The Twingo should be heralded as one of the greatest cars ever made. Making an amazing car that costs €100000 is easy. Making an amazing car that costs €8000 is out of this world. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sKEhA6IHtGE

  The root cause of every single problem in the west is wealth inequality. Every single one of them. Scratch between the surface of every problem, and you'll find wealth inequality. That's why the billionaire class tries so hard to blame everything on migrants or trans people or whatever the fuck - they know that once people realise wealth inequality is the real root cause, billionaires will be the first on the chopping block. We've done it before, and we will do it again. They know t...

  The nazi politician in parliament attacking trans people. The priest in church denouncing gay marriage. The christian political leader arguing against a ban on conversion torture. The imam in a mosque lambasting the LGBTQ community. The youths attacking LGBTQ people in our streets. The deranged lunatic driving his car into a pride event. The underlying ideology doesn't matter. Anti-LGBTQ rhetoric should be a severe crime punishable by jail time, whether it's coming from a religious lead...

  Build new rails works for both real infrastructure as it does for digital infrastructure. 🤷‍♀️ I can't do shit but boost and applaud. Once these people have a more permanent home (website) and some work to show, I'll see if it makes sense for a post on @osnews@mstdn.social. https://mastodon.me.uk/@Floppy/116997766777309382

  Idea: some game involving us weirdos on Fedi and randomising AliExpress purchases (below €10 of course, it has to be fun) using AliExpress's absolutely wild algorithm. This idea has legs, but needs shoes. There's something here that could be dumb enough to be fun. I feel like @catsalad@infosec.exchange would be able to flesh this out.

  I really despise what libadwaita has done to the GTK ecosystem. Unless you're okay with applications that look, feel, and behave entirely differently, the only GTK desktop still worth using is GNOME. For anything else, you're going to have to tolerate a massive schism on your desktop. Most people don't care. They are used to the web and iOS being inconsistent, confusing, unusable trashfires. It's the current normal in UI "design". I'm not blaming anyone either. Th...
