As always, the Qwen team is pushing out fantastic content
Hope they update the model page soon https://chat.qwen.ai/settings/model
That’s a perfectly fine usage of content (primary substance offered by a “website”)

So they say at the provider level update traffic was redirected . Does this also mean their update endpoints didn’t do encryption?
Yea, should have finished reading. Remediation was to “ verify both the certificate and the signature of the downloaded installer. “
I mean for such a dev focused and extremely performant app, that’s disappointing.
Glad I’m off windows as of late

systemd solved/improved a bunch of things for linux, but now the plan seems to be to replace package management with image based whole dist a/b swaps. and to have signed unified kernel images.
this basically will remove or significantly encumber user control over their system, such that any modification will make you loose your "signed" status and ... boom! goodbye accessing the internet without an id
pottering recently works for Microsoft, they want to turn linux into an appliance just like windows, no longer a general purpose os. the transition is still far from over on windows, but look at android and how the google play services dependency/choke-hold is
im sure ill get many down votes, but despite some hyperbole this is the trajectory
Can you quantify those performance problems? Would I notice them on a 2018 vintage laptop?
Just thinking out loud here, but even if it’s a performance anti pattern, xfce is a light weight de so you wouldn’t see it over all I guess.
To my eye most Linux de’s are much lighter or responsive than windows or Mac

How would these types of proposals deal with foss non centralized/fully p2p messaging system? Just make them illegal?
What if the foss app has the “scanning” but can be disabled with a compile time flag
Is my email client going to have to implement this scanning if I use pgp?
You've got this wrong my friend. You don't use Wi-Fi on a router. You get a separate Wi-Fi Access Point device for that. I use a fanless Intel N100 2.5Gb x4 port system from AliExpress as the router with OpnSense and a Ubiquity Wi-Fi 7 access point for the wireless.
My concern with the mini pcs from china (all global brands really accept dell/hp/lenovo) is a lack of prompt bios updates (let alone any)
Every few months there’s a new cpu/bios/firmware vuln since spectre
I did not sell PIA. I entered into a merger agreement to create a publicly owned privacy company. Without getting into detail, I left the company on principle receiving only 1/3rd of the value for the shares.
Btw I used to love pia, I think I’ll check your new one out!
