  • Just do a search for ‘exploiting GitHub open source’ and you’ll find numerous resources of past and current exploits. Best way to exploit someone’s machine is to infect an open source package used by millions.

    This is a particularly relevant article.

    Over the next year, they would largely take control of the project from its original maintainer, Lasse Collin, a change driven in part by nagging emails sent to Collin by a handful users complaining about slow updates.

    So unleash the AI to overburden the maintainers. Which means they could hand over the project entirely like this instance or just not provide the amount of scrutiny they previously did over the things getting merged into the project. Either way it’s bad for all of us.


  • Work computer just updated as well. Same dock and monitors but now when the computer wakes from sleep/hibernate the monitors attached to the dock just won’t come on about 80% of the time. So you have to unplug/replug in the dock to get the monitors to kick on. I can’t recall that being the case ever when using 10. Not a single time.

    To make matters worse the first time it happened it wasn’t immediately obvious because the laptop monitor was blank. The login screen only shows on the primary monitor which is one of the external monitors. So the computer knows the monitors exist but for whatever reason can’t wake them up. Again never an issue before the update to 11.

    I’m sure work loved me spending 3-4 hours mucking with stuff to unclusterfuck windows…our corporate machines still had the Xbox app installed. Thanks IT department! This was a custom image of win11 with all kinds of corporate branding bundled in.
