This made me realize how dirty my phone screen was. Very beautiful

How dare they judge us based off who we voted for, like our actions have consequences or something. It’s bullshit. I just want to criticize everything, contribute nothing, and still receive praise from actual leftists.

Yeah. Sorry I didn’t see this.

My view about work, not politics

A distinction without a difference, unless you believe politics doesn’t affect your livelihood, or your work does not contribute to society. Labor is inherently political. How much of it you do a week, how stressful it is, how safe it is, how much you make, these are all ongoing political discussions. The idea that politics is something outside of our day to day experiences has led, in my opinion, to historically low levels of political participation.

I don’t think he waited. The entire ICE hiring spree and deployment strategy seems to be designed to cause conflict with civilians. The officer involved was violent in the past already and rewarded for it instead of punished. The idea is to put unprepared people in unfamiliar territory with loaded weapons and tell them that everyone else is out to kill them. This has been an ongoing attempt to cause violence, since Jan 20th, that is only now becoming impossible to ignore. I don’t think there has been any sharp escalation, there have been plenty of ICE murders all throughout last year. It has been getting more violent over time, and will continue throughout the next year at the very least.

The official, maintained syncthing app is available on Android through the Termux ‘pkg’ manager.

That’s mercury!

Worse or better on policy, I think the next speaker won’t publicly fellate Trump nearly as much, which is notable.

But, in that case there’s a crime, there’s a body. I don’t think there’s any underlying assertion of illegality here. If this becomes standard legal practice, that it’s illegal to destroy data in general, all paper shredders would have to be thrown out.

I don’t agree. The issue linked in the post and also this one have shown the new maintainer to be antagonistic and evasive.

Yes. The relevant points are that Catfriend’s repo was fully reset, no git history, multiple times this year, supposedly because of sensitive data that was mistakenly checked in. If that’s the case, it might explain why shortly before Catfriend deleted his repo, he created an issue saying something along the lines of ‘stop messing with my desktop’, which could be read as a plea to hackers. The repo went dark, and someone else published it, with Catfriend’s private signing key, which triggered automatic updates for some users, without them knowing the maintainer changed. They also claim to have Catfriend’s github credentials. After staying quiet for a month, Catfriend recently posted on the syncthing forum saying that everything is dandy with the new maintainer, without addressing major concerns. Meanwhile, the new maintainer has made large changes to the codebase without public comments. The last two updates from the new maintainer have been reviewed independently, and reproducible builds are enabled to ensure the apk matches the sources. However, that is assuming that Catfriend’s repo was safe to begin with. In the case of ongoing blackmail, malicious code could have been added during one of the repository resets, or in a large refactor commit.

The sad part is that Catfriend picked up this repo after Syncthing deprecated it, just for his friends and family. I don’t think he is a professional developer, and he very obviously was overwhelmed by the project. Syncthing is a very juicy target for malicious state actors, and trust is crucial. I feel awful to say that I no longer trust Catfriend or his replacement, but the circumstances don’t inspire confidence.

Wtf are you talking about? They are carrying guns, they shot back. What they were doing was illegal, and it doesn’t justify murder but let’s not pretend these are morally upstanding people, walking around DC with guns loaded. They are there to instill fear.

You’ll have to brew your own run conditions I think. For me, it’s not a big deal, just a bunch of documents and pictures and not much gets added every day. But termux does have access to network state, and I’m pretty sure syncthing accepts stop and continue execution signals, so a shell script shouldn’t be too difficult. Another possible option is to use termux:tasker.

I said this in another thread, but apparently it’s not widely known: syncthing works fine on termux, there is no need to install any third party code. You do need to run termux-setup-storage to get access to the shared storage that other apps can access, and I found it worth it to set up the termux:boot app to run syncthing on phone boot. This way only uses the official syncthing repo.

I don’t think this is accurate. For one thing, whether a law prohibits or allows something is just a matter of perspective: a law allowing abortion nationally is also a law that prohibits state restrictions on abortion. Another key missing fact is the supremacy clause of the constitution, which says that federal laws are presumed to overrule state laws when they conflict. This is why a lot of ‘blue’ states had terrible abortion laws still on the books when Dobbs happened, because they were nullified by the Roe v Wade ruling in the 70s and they never got around to actually removing the defunct laws.

The supremacy clause is not absolute: the tenth amendment and others restricts how much the federal government can tell states what to do, but I think there are a number of legal arguments against that being the case for a federal abortion law.

This looks like a design decision to avoid running elevated programs. I would like to see the experiment done with another admin ability that doesn’t directly ‘threaten’ the llm, like uninstalling or installing random software, toggling network or vpn connections, restarting services etc. What the researchers call ‘sabotage’, it is literally the llm echoing “the computer would shut down here if this was for real, but you didn’t specifically tell me I might shutdown so I’ll avoid actually doing it.” And when a user tells it “it’s OK to shutdown if told to”, it mostly seems to comply, except for Grok. It seems that this restriction on the models overrides any system prompt though, which makes sense because sometimes the user and the author of the system prompt are not the same person.

For anyone curious, Rosalind Franklin did get a mention… In the 17th and 18th paragraphs. Might as well be a footnote, just like the original paper. He was an awful, pitiful man, when you read the fine print.

I actually don’t doubt that this time lol

How do I uninstall? Is apt purge available on this system?
