neowin.netDenmark has abandoned plans to ditch Microsoft Office after technical problemsDenmark's push to ditch Microsoft Office for a European alternative has hit a setback, and the reasons behind its failure could be related to compatibility and formatting issues.

OOXML was always intended to be a moat. other companies will of course learn from this, and make similarly "open" (e.g. not really) formats www.neowin.net/news/denmark...

injectable estradiol is definitely way better

imagine necroing a post i made last year just to advertise your stupid techbro thing to me

yes, i am a founder, but importantly i am also not a techbro and i think techbros have been a net-negative on society

OpenPaX kernel trees now live as part of the @edera.dev unified kernel repository, which means they will be able to benefit from planned automated rebasing in the near future. Mainline, presently 7.3-rc3: github.com/edera-dev/li... and, of course, 6.18 LTS: github.com/edera-dev/li...

The US is targeting the anarchist collective that hosts the popular Noblogs wordpress platform as terrorists. This is truly batshit (as are their various obvious lies about Rose City Antifa etc). This is a HUGE attack on basic free speech. www.state.gov/releases/off...

#pkgconf 3.0.6 has been released, bringing multi-module --variable queries, OS/2 support, and Windows long-path awareness. it also drops the PC061 (CR-LF line-endings) lint because it is very noisy on Windows.

The thing about economic downturns, especially in the middle of the bubble like this, is the consumers end up the ultimate judge of everything. Suddenly McDonald's doesn't cost $20 anymore. Suddenly Anthropic has a change of heart as they watch their user base evaporate.

I am likely to take the policy position that AI-assisted bug reports are banned from my projects in their entirety because the AI companies make individual FOSS maintainers jump through hoops to run the scans. I would rather file CVE disputes than play this game anymore.

At the same time, I might experiment with setting up my own code review bot running self-hosted GLM and Kimi models and hope it provides the same level of surveillance.

And no, don't even get me started on this "vulnerability clearinghouse" idea. This idea is stupid and dangerous, for a number of reasons, but most importantly, the clearinghouses will automatically become extremely high value targets for attackers to breach.

And yes, this is already a problem. I have had to ban people already.

Inevitably, someone will say: "just apply for the OpenAI OSS grant, it includes Codex Security." This "solves" my problem at the expense of appearing like I endorse this technology (I don't) and is limited to 6 months (so I have to do this all over again in 6 months).

My time is valuable. I would rather spend it with my family than deal with reporters sending me slop they copied and pasted out of their coding agent harness.

Do you use Node.js on Alpine Linux? We are looking for volunteers to help us bring Alpine to "Tier 2" where it would be built and released through the normal CI process. If you can help, let us know: https://bit.ly/4v03NiW

Seattle very clearly wants rail expansion. Sound Transit will alienate its core supporters and create massive political problems for itself if it proceeds with the Somers plan. It is time for wiser heads to prevail. We need city, county, and state leaders to intervene and stop ST from gutting ST3.

the #dirtyfrag exploit does not run successfully on alpine because the path to the donor SUID binary is hardcoded as /usr/bin/su. changing that to /bin/bbsuid allows the exploit to run, but it hangs for me on linux-lts 6.18.27.

8 May

interestingly, openpax kernels kill the exploit early in the exploit chain. either way, 6.18.28 fixes it for everyone. but it goes to show the danger of #SUID binaries and why SUID-less solutions like #capsudo are important.

this is a great proposal and one that i think is worth studying. sound transit is already over-committed to light rail for the “spine” service, but building ballard/west seattle rail as an automated light *metro* makes an incredible amount of sense. our neighbours to the north have proved it.
