  • I don’t care if there is a package called gnome-age-verification distributed in my linux distro and would prefer it if it means fewer sites with facial biometric tests. If I have concerns about the age verification, then I should be able to type:

    sudo dnf remove gnome-age-verification

    California probably wants it in linux distros so that linux can’t be a justification for big tech still demanding Orwellian stuff in every website (ie “but what about the children who use linux? we need to protect them with Persona too!”)

    But where would it stop? The hell version of this would be kernel-level-approved-AI-agent-checks, with an OS required to have an approved AI agent with a validated third party key that reports to the government with required telemetry and the kernel makes sure the OS won’t run without the approved AI and then makes illegal any scripts for unapproved kernel code modification. And post-Tornado cash, we know code is unfortunately not protected US speech.











  • Some of this is vague. Is there a reason you aren’t sharing the name of the DLL or the software involved? I can’t tell if you downloaded a program that was infected and used the program in WINE or if you are saying WINE itself was infected.

    Is this an account that’s an alt account and you’re normally a poster or are you a lurker? It’s really unusual to have only 1 post on lemmy.

    If this is real, can you please post the name of the DLL? I am also surprised you aren’t spending more time trying to get your data back. Unless they wiped it many times, data is often recoverable, and sometimes even if it’s wiped several times. That’s what I’d be prioritizing getting back. Do you not have any other backups of your files anywhere?


  • that’s a brutal hack. so they hacked the hosting update server, made it monitor incoming IPs, and then selectively uploaded a compromised backdoor update based on IP only to certain computers so it would go undetected longer?

    it’s awful, but technically impressive that someone could remotely hack the server like that and set up such a complex system to target IPs… unless it was a state actor that compelled the server company to provide local access, in which case it’s less impressive.








  • It’s something someone could have generated on their own, but the diction and linguistic style is similar to AI.

    “Before you roll your eyes about this getting political - stay with me, because” - linguistic style of AI

    “Not by some rogue actor, but by a system functioning exactly as designed.” -linguistic style of AI

    “This isn’t about being a prepper or going off-grid. This is about building infrastructure that operates on fundamentally different principles:” -linguistic style of AI

    Your responses to people accusing you of being AI seem human. So who are you? What are you? Are you a government agent trying to do data collection on people? Why write the post with AI, basically trying to collect data on users here or get data about users, and then deny it’s AI when it clearly is?

    Yes, people are being influenced by AI writing styles but NO ONE IS THIS INFLUENCED. You’re fucking lying. FUCK YOU.
