Ungoogled-Chromium and Youtube

I'd rather not use #brave-browser on my #GhostBSD installation, since I have to resort to using all kindsa Linux-compatibility stuff I don't want, so I have #ungoogled-chromium from the repositories. It's excellent! I even managed to get #uBlock-Origin to work on it in some roundabout way I found on #github.

The only issue is that I can't watch #youtube on it, since #Google has gone to war against all adblocking and everyone who doesn't accept Google as their Lord and Master.

I can watch youtube videos that are embedded in posts to diaspora, weblogs, and other sites, just not on Google's youtube site.

But y'know what? Screw Google and Youtube! I can watch youtube on brave, but why? People who make #BSD and #Linux videos need to use Rumble or Odessy or any other site to post their videos on. Google wants a war? I say we give them one.

I don't know if it is a good idea or not, but I just subscribed to the #Github Sponsor program. I was curious both to see how it works, and if people would actually donate.

Probably not the best timing while everyone is asking for money before the end of the year, but as I have literally no expectation, I guess I can't be disappointed haha

Check there, if you want to support my work: https://github.com/sponsors/Flaburgan

I installed #linuxmint onto my Lenovo N22 when #GalliumOS had graphical issues. It worked really well except audio did not work. I found this github thing and just pasted it down and it worked. Everything is great now.

But how do I thank him? The fix is 8 years old and the guy doesn't list an email address or anything. I want to thank him.

Git-Rotate: Leveraging #GitHub Actions to Bypass #Microsoft Entra Smart lockout

Source: https://research.aurainfosec.io/pentest/git-rotate/

Despite advancements in #cybersecurity, #password #spraying attacks remain a prevalent and effective technique for attackers attempting to gain unauthorised access to #cloud - based infrastructure and web applications by targeting their login portals. Password spraying involves attempting a small number of common passwords against a large number of usernames. This makes it difficult for #security systems to detect and mitigate as they often avoid common protections such as #account lockout policies by avoiding rapid or repeated login attempts for a single account. Attackers can easily obtain lists of commonly used passwords or use automated tools to generate potential passwords, increasing the likelihood of success.

#Microsoft offers legal #protection for #AI #copyright infringement challenges

Source: https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2023/09/microsoft-offers-legal-protection-for-ai-copyright-infringement-challenges/

Microsoft's #announcement comes as generative AI tools like #ChatGPT have raised concerns about reproducing copyrighted material without proper attribution. Microsoft has heavily invested in AI through products like #GitHub #Copilot and #Bing Chat that can generate original code, text, and images on demand. Its AI models have gained these capabilities by scraping publicly available data off of the #Internet without seeking express #permission from copyright holders.

Now we know what #PirateBay made wrong:

They were not a multi million startup with a global company as a sponsor. So what they did was #piracy. But if #ChatGPT copies the whole internet it's a business model.

KI-UnterstĂŒtzung beim Programmieren gefĂ€hrlich

KI liebt Copy&Paste

Heise.de berichtet ĂŒber eine Studie von GitClear, der Hersteller des gleichnamigen Git-Analyse-Tools. GitClear hat 153 Millionen Zeilen Code, die zwischen Januar 2020 und Dezember 2023 auf GitHub geflossen sind, analysiert. "Das Ergebnis zeigt, dass die Code-QualitĂ€t im Jahr 2023 mit dem verstĂ€rkten Einsatz von KI-Coding-Assistenten abnimmt, und zwar insbesondere in Bezug auf das DRY-Prinzip (Don’t repeat yourself), sprich, es fließt mehr schnell erzeugter, aber bereits vorhandener Code in ein Projekt."

Das ist erstens lĂ€stig, weil es die Menge der zu betreuenden Software unnötig vergrĂ¶ĂŸert. Weitaus schlimmer ist aber, das Vorliegen redundanter Programmteile, die in der Folge nur an einer Stelle gepflegt und verbessert werden. In der Zukunft kann das zu weiteren Problemen fĂŒhren.

Aus dem zeitlichen Zusammenhang folgern die Autoren der Studie, dass die Probleme auf die Zunahme von Code durch KI-Assistenzprogramme zurĂŒckzufĂŒhren ist. So ist zwischen 2022 und 2023 in den Software Repositories insbesondere der Wert Moved um 17,3 Prozent zurĂŒckgegangen, wĂ€hrend Copy und Paste um 11,3 Prozent stieg. Das fĂŒhrt aber im Ergebnis zu geringerer Effizienz des ganzen GitHub Projekts, da die Programmierer nur mehr Code zur VerfĂŒgung haben, aber keinen besseren.

Das Copy&Paste liegt daran, dass KI-Assistenten sich bisher "nicht trauen" vorhandenen Code zu löschen, sondern stets ihre VerĂ€nderungen hinzufĂŒgen. Das hat vielleicht auch seine Vorteile fĂŒr das Funktionieren. Insoweit mĂŒssen wir noch nicht befĂŒrchten, dass eine KI ganze Projekte durch UnfĂ€higkeit oder "Absicht" zerstören kann.

Langfristig muss jedoch ĂŒber Alternativen nachgedacht werden, sonst steht man irgendwann vor dem Heuhaufen mit der vielleicht silbernen Stecknadel.
