  • I'm not a scientist/astronomer but my beste guess would be that stuff is named based on the instrument/telescope that found it first and some number or based on survey project names. There are so many objects we discover, anything "more sophisticated" would probably be too much work. If something turns out interesting later it might get additional names or a nick name.

  • Lawsuit Alleges That WhatsApp Has No End-to-End Encryption

    Jump

  • Signal could still (at least for a short period of time) read everything. Whisper System just has to push a Signal Update that no longer encrypts. It would probably be noticed pretty soon. And no not because of the source code. The source code is what they claim to ise to build the applications but they could easily apply patches before they build. You'd have to reverse engineer the compiled applications ro see if there is code that's probably not in the source.

    This kind of problem is typically way smaller in projects that actively encourage building the clients from source yourself - which Whister System/Signal does not.

  • Facebook added the encryption in the first place because so many people were leaving for Signal and Threema (and Telegram but that's another security nightmare).

  • Microsoft gave FBI a set of BitLocker encryption keys to unlock suspects' laptops: Reports | TechCrunch

  • Why not save a step, fuck bitlocker, and use veracrypt to encrypt your drive in the first place?

  • I hereby also announce $100 billion in support of Ukraine. Announcements aren't worth much.

  • Try using the on screen keyboard with Firefox. On so many extensions the keyboard just doesn't work (concrete example: tampermonkey code editor). And it's not like it doesn't work at all - you can insert new characters but backspace and new line is broken.

    Now try OSK on Windows - never had a single issue that it doesn't work where a real keyboard would have worked.

  • To make a shortcut on your desktop on windows. Right click element -> shortcut on desktop. To change arguments: right click shortcut -> Properties. Done. Now try to explain how gnome does it in a comment 🤣

  • I get what you are saying and maybe I'll find some time to do that, but I hope you also see the irony in an answer like that, because the typical user couldn't care less about Gnome vs KDE.

  • ChatGPT Gave Teen Advice to Get Higher on Drugs Until He Died

    Jump

  • To be fair, if you listen to bad advise from chat-bots you have probably already lost. I know there are vulnerable people were that's easier said than done, but even before Chat-GPT, the internet already was a completely toxic place, where other people, that never saw or knew you, tell you to just kill yourself.

    So yes, there are a lot of real issues with LLMs, but people following clearly idiotic advice from a bot (that's also clearly marked as such), is a non-issue in my book.

  • The day that CBS News became literally ‘fake news’ for America | An unverified, unlikely story about the Minneapolis ICE shooter exposes the new CBS News team as Trump's state media.

  • I meant "c" pronounced like "see". Like c u as in "see you".

  • Comment thread on /r/Europe suggesting ditching Reddit, Lemmy and PieFed suggested

    Jump

  • But that also means that you are way less anonymous and many people don't even know that. Interactions that are typically "anonymous" (except of course to the platform owner) on other platforms like up/down voting is completely public on lemmy. Everybody can just "tap" the feed and see what you upvote and downvote - it's basically heaven for data collectors and advertising companies.

  • Europe's rules-based trade an "advantage in global economy", but continent must be "more confrontational" to defend its own interests, German economist says

    Jump

  • I think the biggest problem Europe has (besides too weak military) is how slow this freaking bureaucratic apparatus is.

    Something happens - countries start to discuss how to react, weigh pros and cons, discuss again, Hungary votes against - discuss again... oh it's 2028 already.

  • I might get downvoted for that, but I think Europe should start working closer with China.

  • Trump is reportedly taking aim at Canada and raising alarms about its ‘vulnerability’

    Jump

  • Two be fair many other countries have the same issue but it doesn't have such horrendous consequences because they don't have a two party system.

    IMHO countries that claim to be democracies should switch to Lottocracy anyway. That's the only way we end up with decision makers that don't just do stuff to get voted again.

  • I probably hate Microsoft roughly as much as most people here but in a lot of ways Windows is way more polished than Linux. The second you try something "unconventional" in Linux the shit is going to hit the fan. Fractional scale DPI - half the apps crap their pants. On screen keyboard - and don't get me started with OSK over Firefox in kiosk mode (for example in touch screen settings). Also try to make a custom shortcut on your gnome desktop to run some application with some arguments without writing config files in random directories you have to Google and reloading some configs via a terminal.

    Microsoft really went downhill fast and certainly adds a lot of crap to windows lately, but sadly in the Linux world we don't have 1-3 well polished distros, we have hundreds of them. All good at one or two things, but suck at everything else. There a so many options the choice alone is probably the biggest reason everyday people will not switch to Linux if their device doesn't already come with Linux. Even people thinking about switching end up with analysis paralysis because everybody tells them stuff like, try it - if you don't like it try something else. As if they have nothing better to do than trying Linux distros all day long.

  • Donald Trump 'will cause WW3' as world warned 'it'll be the end as we know it'

    Jump

  • Donald Trump is a symptom, not the problem. About half of US citizens voted for that clown. Twice! Unless people fight for change - away from the two party system, you will always have the situation that people vote "for their team" like it's some kind of sport. People are emotionally attached to their team (both sides).

    Even better idea than voting would be Lottocracy, but that's very hard to implement because a government would have to make laws that would make most politicians obsolete.
