Telegram is the only massively popular messaging service that allows everyone to make sure that all of its apps indeed use the same open source code that is published on Github.

Not true. Signal has a very similar client verification process to Telegram's, described here. The lack of an iOS reproducible build is an Apple limitation / nuisance.

It’s very complicated, the 2nd jailbroken device is necessary because there’s no other way to download the .ipa, but even if you manage to do that and bit-for-bit reproduce the .ipa you downloaded from source, there’s no way to know if the App Store is sending every user the same .ipa or if your other, non-jailbroken iPhone downloaded a backdoored one.

Telegram docs even acknowledge these limitations.

Ultimately, this client verification is not the selling point Telegram's founder makes it sound like, since most messages are not E2EE and the server code is closed.

tl;dr "Signal might be untrustworthy because the tech came from a State-sponsored project and the current chairman acknowledges that Wikipedia has a white and Western bias."

just wait until they find out pretty much all tech we have can be traced back to government-funded research.

I'd look into AV1 decoding benchmarks, regardless of NVIDIA vs AMD, as I've been using NVIDIA on Jellyfin for a while with no issues.

HEVC is not as relevant IMO, as it's not available through browsers due to license restrictions (ffmpeg / mpv works fine), so I'd focus on AV1 capabilities, which is not available in many cards.

I can see Score + Upvote % being ambiguous. At the same time, I think the point of showing downvotes is to have an idea of the ratio of users that agree / find it useful, so I think a percentage conveys this information better than absolute numbers.

So my vote is for Upvotes (Upvote %) - this gives a general idea of how many votes there were; the upvote/downvote ratio; and the fact both numbers refer to upvotes reduces ambiguity.

According to The Information, 700 out of 1,000 Just Walk Out sales required human reviewers as of 2022. This widely missed Amazon’s internal goals of reaching less than 50 reviews per 1,000 sales. Amazon called this characterization inaccurate, and disputes how many purchases require reviews.

if Amazon wasn't the source of this number, where is it coming from?

Cunningham came up with the name WikiWikiWeb because he remembered a Honolulu International Airport counter employee who told him to take the Wiki Wiki Shuttle, a shuttle bus line that runs between the airport's terminals. "Wiki Wiki" is a reduplication of "wiki", a Hawaiian language word for "quick".[7] Cunningham's idea was to make WikiWikiWeb's pages quickly editable by its users, so he initially thought about calling it "QuickWeb", but later changed his mind and dubbed it "WikiWikiWeb".

"Global Themes" in Plasma do more than just styling

To developers it's not a surprise that third party plugins can do this sort of thing. It's as intended. A global theme can ship custom lockscreens, custom applets, custom settings and all of these can run arbitrary bundled code. You can't constrain this without limiting functionality.

https://blog.davidedmundson.co.uk/blog/kde-store-content/

Naturally this is not what an end user expects when browsing for themes, and the warnings don't make up for the risks.

I hope devs can find a better way to ship this rich functionality, or at least introduce an automated "canary-release" process to the KDE Store that takes down themes that misbehave.

I have a 4k and a 21:9 1440p display and I'm sure anyone who gives 5 seconds to think about it will agree the bottom panel is a total waste of space past the usual 1920px width - unless you have an absurd amount of widgets there.

So not only I agree with the gaps, but I have my panel centered to approx. a third of the display width and there's still plenty of space to fit open windows there.

Full width panel is a legacy choice that just doesn't make much sense with nowadays screens.

Bind mounts. Always use bind mounts for data you care about, otherwise the "managed by docker" volumes are fated to be forgotten.

It won't be your file structure as the file tree is managed by paperless, but at least using bind mounts you can easily navigate files and back them up independently or docker and paperless.

eager_eagle , 3 months ago

yes, a bind mount / bind volume is when a volume is explicitly mapped to a location in your local storage rather than managed by docker and likely owned by root.

Good move, but anyone using public data already applies a simple spam filter to reject "dumb" data poisoning. Also, hatred and other negative comments as responses will be penalized in a language model training, so an effective data poisoning takes effort. I'll just throw some ideas here how poisoning could hypothetically have a tangible negative impact in their results.

The best one can do in terms of data poisoning is make comments that are not easily discernible from usual comments - both for humans and machines - but are either unhelpful or misleading. This is an "in-distribution" data poisoning attack. To be really effective in having any impact whatsoever for training, they need to be mass applied using different user accounts that also upvote each others' comments in a way that mimics real user interaction: if applied in a simplistic way, a simple graph analysis on these interactions can highlight these fake accounts as a christmas tree.

no, because it only applies to executables.

idk about you, but I only run executables from dolphin once every full moon, or so. And even if it was frequently, it doesn't come close to the number of folders I open that only need a single click.

eager_eagle , 4 months ago

Right. I use a proper launcher for anything I execute constantly - like Gnome shell or KRunner on KDE. Scripts I usually run in the terminal to see their output. So it's really rare for me to run anything by clicking on it using Dolphin.
