Quoting: KimyrielleWhat's NOT fair game is review-bombing a game that isn't even using AI,

You cannot be fair or unfair to a game.(*)
That's not an entity that the category fairness can be usefully applied to.

So, who's the target?
The actual companies making/selling the game.
And, yes, I think those are legitimate targets.

Might it hurt innocent software developers and artists?
Sure.
They're part of the company, and thus they're with any good or bad the company is doing.
That's true for every (employed) one of us.
And that's true for any decision of not buying any game.
Or any protest against any company.
So, should we stop protesting against companies?

(*) No, I'm not implying you said this.

Quoting: PlayingOnLinuxphone

Quoting: EikeI didn't check for the latest cases, but I would be surprised if the wave is not due to AI checking out software

Single findings for sure. But the wave?

I would say the opposite. (See e.g. "Claude Mythos"...)
We may like it or not, but AI did become good at this!

Quoting: PlayingOnLinuxphoneNo need for Bigscreen, but probably good for others. Somehow funny they put in Kate onto the screenshot. It is not the first piece of software I would think about when using a TV.

I am more interested in Union and may setup a VM to give a look.

Now as you're saying it: Isn't kate being abandoned?

We're seeing a wave of Linux security issues lately as it has become a bigger focus

I didn't check for the latest cases, but I would be surprised if the wave is not due to AI checking out software and sometimes finding decades old security flaws [External Link] that no human found in all that time.

And yes, that's is a risk and it is making our software more secure at the same time.

Quoting: geckofish52Hoping the big picture overlay stops being so laggy. I'm on KDE Plasma CachyOS

It's web tech, so unfortunately it's always going to be laggy or stuttery, sometimes even on obscenely powerful hardware. I doubt they'll ever rewrite it in Qt Quick for example, which could actually be smooth, native, and efficient, with better battery life.

While I'm not happy with those web apps either, browsers can do amazingly well (non-stuttery) things these days.
No, I don't think web app is the (main) reason here.

Quoting: Purple Library GuyThe horror!!!

Not for me. I still haven't heard Baby Shark, even after all these years.

These posts are the first time I ever heard of this. And I have two young daughters...

Quoting: tohurI don't know where you live but in most places your boss CAN fire you anytime they please

Germany here. We have a "Kündigungsschutzgesetz" (Dismissal Protection Act). You need to have actual objective reasons, and these are limited to reason in behaviour, reason in person and reasons due to "urgent operational reasons" of the company. The employee can fight the dismissal in court. (My wild guess is that the usual result of a successful trial, at least in smaller companys, would be money, not continuing to work for someone who doesn't want you.)

Quoting: MakiNote that both vulnerabilities are for a local user to gain root access.

Isn't that what privilege escalation is all about?
You got to local user, then you enhance your rights and become root.
I mean, it's not like "local user" means someone has to sit at your keyboard...
