backdoor in upstream xz/liblzma leading to ssh server compromise
  • I don't have a source but I think it is safe to say given the large corporations and government institutions that rely on XZ utils. I'm sure Microsoft, Amazon, redhat ect are in talks with the federal government about this

    GOG basically acknowledges piracy in a meme
  • The drm-free marketing that gog does has been successful, but it is just marketing. While It's true that games sold on gog are drm-free, every game sold on gog that I've looked into is also drm-free on steam. The only real benefit is that the gog installers are more convenient for backups than using a steam back up tool.

    Enterprise Linux on desktop?
  • You can't really use it with redhat. You can swap the kernel and install the user space tools, but then you won't get support from redhat.

    Suyu, a potential replacement for Yuzu
  • Yeah but if they're smart they will work on this anonymously. You can't force someone to show up to court if their identity is secret

    Yuzu developers agreed to pay $2.4 million in damages to Nintendo to settle their lawsuit
  • FOSS emulator developers need to learn that since the DMCA was passed, the state is hostile to them. It isn't fair and it doesn't matter that the Sony v Bleep lawsuit set precedence that emulators are legal because the DMCA is so vague that a judge can rule can rule it is impossible to legally emulate copy protected games. Developers need to start exclusively contributing and maintaining their projects through a pseudonym with no ties to their real identity or move to countries where shit like this doesn't happen.

    Yuzu developers agreed to pay $2.4 million in damages to Nintendo to settle their lawsuit
  • They were not actively enabling piracy at all. Piracy discussion was banned on all their platforms as well as any information on how to get software title keys illegally. They did everything right and were still bullied out of 2.4 million

  • You think Nintendo is just going to stop? They can get an easy couple of million now by going after anyone with an emulator. I'm sure they could even go after discontinued console emulators too now they have a shitty service to play their old games.

    Google to pause Gemini AI image generation after refusing to show White people.
  • No, the problem is that they filter prompts and inject new parameters into prompts specifically to avoid creating white subjects. It's so bad that, when asked to generate a chessboard, Gemini would only make one with black pieces.
