  • Open source project curl is sick of users submitting “AI slop” vulnerabilities

    Jump

  • I shoot for this but am detectable by constantly making edits to make my point more understandable, adding something relevant that I thought of later (literally editing this post right now to include "adding something relevant that I thought of later") or to correct typos.

    Stenberg, saying that he's "had it" and is "putting my foot down on this craziness," suggested that every suspected AI-generated HackerOne report will have its reporter asked to verify if they used AI to find the problem or generate the submission. If a report is deemed "AI slop," the reporter will be banned. "We still have not seen a single valid security report done with AI help," Stenberg wrote.

    I appreciate this because I'd hate to get my issue removed as AI slop because I wasn't enough of an asshole and didn't make enough English mistakes. All for rejecting AI slop but it'd feel bad being the false positive deemed "not human enough" and getting my efforts tossed out too.

    I may or may not be one of those autistic people who tried to compensate for my social deficiencies and inability to read the room by doing my best to be polite, nice, and inoffensive. (It helps that those qualities do not conflict with who I want to be at all.) And "nice and inoffensive" helps you easily subclass/multiclass into corpo dialect…

  • TIL!

    Can exit nano on my own, have the common sense to not call in a panic about it before at least looking it up. (Which is how I learned how to exit it: looking it up.) But was never taught about ^ meaning "Control+" until your comment, especially since nowadays people write it out as "Control+" or "CTRL+".

    I might have put two and two together when dealing with everything else in nano after I learned to exit, but never really internalized the rule "^ means Control+". So thank you for your comment!

    Disclaimer: I feel like I am too stupid for most of programming.dev but participate here anyways because I learn stuff from the comments.

  • First learning is last learning.

    I'll be the dumb one to ask: what do you mean? Is this that making a mistake that costs a lot is the best teacher, because you only have to mess it up once to learn it forever?

  • CLion Is Now Free for Non-Commercial Use

  • Thanks for the heads-up!

  • The future of web development is AI. Get on or get left behind.

  • I do wonder about inventions that actually changed the world or the way people do things, and if there is a noticeable pattern that distinguishes them from inventions that came and went and got lost to history, or that did get adopted but do not have mass adoption. Hindsight is 20/20, but we live in the present and have to make our guesses about what will succeed and what will fail, and it would be nice to have better guesses.

  • End of 10 - Windows ten is ending. Microsoft wants you to buy a new computer. But what if you could make your current one fast and secure again?

  • Seeing a lot of posts like this did help push me to actually make the switch instead of just talking about doing it someday.

  • An open source Memory Match for Kids game

    Jump

  • Anecdotal evidence, but as a kid I played the fuck out of edutainment games and not much else with a screen. Did not watch that much TV, did a lot of reading and playing outside and making really bad kid crafts… I think the edutainment games, my primary screen use, helped me in the long run. I say this as someone who definitely uses screens too much as an adult. Screens ≠ bad, as long as it's an actual good use of time.

    There is a big difference between passive mindless scrolling/consumption and using the screen to do something like learning, making art (thanks drawing programs, music making programs, video making programs, IDEs), communicating with people you value who happen to live far away… it's really nice being able to enter my musical ideas with a computer, a little slower than I come up with them; than to have to write it out all by hand and take forever because my handwriting is crappy and hard to read unless I slow down and take my time. To modify my recipes on my phone quickly and wipe off the screen with no fuss if juices splash on it, as opposed to staining a recipe page forever (possibly even losing information if the stain is bad enough) and crying about it. To type to my friends overseas and it's okay for them to reply whenever they wake up, instead of strictly scheduling calls because of timezone differences and schedules and maybe forgetting that thing you wanted to share with them because you had the thought 6 hours ago. To access a bunch of open free textbooks or learning resources and how-to articles without having to drive to the library first. If all my screen use was useful I'd still be using them a lot, because it honestly makes my life much easier to have easily searchable and quickly-createable information resources that I can back up on a device I can clean easily, instead of a bunch of physical documents I'll inevitably lose or dirty and freak out about losing or dirtying especially given how much time I sunk into making them by hand.

    Also, I'm forgetful and having reminders I set to go off at specific times or when I leave a specific location is so much more effective for managing this tendency than writing on my hand or asking someone else to remind me of whatever. If I didn't have the internet I probably would not have figured out gay rights until actually meeting openly gay people in college in an environment that didn't encourage them to hide, as opposed to figuring it out at ~13 and learning I'm not as straight as I thought I was thanks to the internet. That is a few extra years of less "do what you want in your house but keep it away from the rest of us"-brand homophobia thanks to the internet.

  • Steam Survey for April 2025 results available, Linux sits at 2.27%

  • I'm probably part of the problem because I got the survey on my Mac and not my Linux machine…

  • Thinking of moving a community I have.

    Jump

  • I'd definitely like that as a programming.dev user. I like to see topic-specific instances used for that topic, and to have lots of communities about that topic.

  • I created a Linux community thats focused on easy customizations for every Linux distro

    Jump

  • Same, I'd prefer to see this from programming.dev. Subbed anyways, because aside from changing my wallpaper I left my PC at a totally default look and would like to pressure myself to change it by following this community.

    I figure this community could benefit from an ad in the many Linux communities on Lemmy.

  • Hard Drives Have Less Environmental Impact Than SSDs, Seagate Says

  • I am all for pointing out conflicts of interest, but I bought an SSD external hard drive from Seagate, and just looking up "Seagate SSD" will take you to a bunch of Seagate SSD products. Is there something I'm missing here?

  • Meta is set to train its AI models with Europeans' public data, and you can stop it doing so

    Jump

  • Useful, thank you!

    TL;DR:

    Beginning this week, all Meta users in the EU will start receiving notifications about the terms of the new AI training, either via app or email.

    These notifications will include a link to a form where people can withdraw their consent for their data to be used for training Meta AI.
