Holy shit I thought the same

I’ll still blame the corporation gaining god knows how much money with this over the individual person, even if I also think a Developer should have known better.

Ours were much the same for a long while, until eventually they got so close they would sleep together and one would even lick the other.

Don’t give up just yet!

Poor headline.

It began in June when an employee on Binance’s wallet developer team thought they’d indulge in some vibe coding by installing a popular AI coding tool. But they ended up downloading a tampered installation of Homebrew, a tool that’s popular with software engineers, after clicking a malicious ad.

There’s lots of packages on Homebrew and it’s a popular package manager, even outside of MacOS. He could have decided to grab anything from Homebrew and get hit.

The real one to blame here is Google for doing zero vetting on the crap they put at the top of the search results. Malicious ads for popular software happen constantly and so far they haven’t moved an inch to fix it.

Damn, I guess Form over Function and Flashy Marketing really are all that matters

That’s exactly what I’m thinking.
98% of all the legacy code of Cisco? The whole corporation? The decades of it?

Assemble a team to do it, not just a single guy!

People out there really thinking the answer to everything is just “more tokens”

Can’t let the plebeian have too much fun

This does very little to convice me to not migrate away.
My #1 issue was them sacrificing Security for Speed and this latest change does jack shit to address it

Load bearing comment.

PS: Andy has partially responded to article in the ProtonMail subreddit. He has alleged that 404 took his comment about security out of context and offered absolutely zero context or explanation about that “Calling his employees losers” bit.

Here’s his full comment:

Happy to answer actually, since the quote above was taken out of context. Proton today does way more security reviewing than we have done at any time in the past. With the proliferation of AI tools, our code is also under more third party scrutiny than ever before. We see this across the industry, with critical software bugs (like the recent PHP bug) being found on an almost daily basis. However, several extra days of human review is not the correct way to confront this challenge. We still have human review, but now augmented by AI, has become exceptionally good at finding vulnerabilities in code. For some time now, Proton has also been using unaligned models with custom skills to do a thorough review of our code. This approach is better, and also faster.

Had I had even the most remote idea this would happen, I never would have migrated all my addresses years ago.

Fuck this. I can’t believe I’m to waste my time changing all my fucking addresses again.

My fault for not buying a domain for my email to at least make this slightly less painful.

So much for muh Secure and private mail. Don’t even know where to migrate next. Fuck this.

Yeah if anyone falls for this lock them out of their computer immediately.

Yeah, much as I like the New Big Picture UI, the Steam Input Configurator is an order of magnitude jankier now than it was before.

It should be noted the startup improvement was on Steam Beta before the release of the Epic Vibe Launcher but it is funny regardless

I’ve thought about bodging something together with n8n and Tasker so I can just screenshot something or send it a voice note and have it add an event on my calendar.

That being said my server is an 8th gen i3 w/ 12GB of RAM and I’m not willing to leave my desktop running 24/7 so idk if I can run a model good enough to handle this over there. Even if it is a supposedly menial “OCR and call tool” workflow.

The author getting pissed every step of the way is really funny, great write-up!

I blacklist just about anything executable from downloading in Qbit but it stills feels a little clunky, I wish the ARRs would inspect the torrents and immediately ignore the .exe ones before they even hit Qbit, I feel like it should be a default option to help the Newbies out.

Half the “expensive hardware” is tokens to generate it all, the other half the infra to run their own blockchain.

I’m calling it.

He be like 😠

Lmao and I thought I was the only psycho compressing pretty much every picture I post into lossy webp to not unnecessarily use storage on the instances
