which reminds me, I need to check if lix/aux are going to do a cli-side nixpkgs search with a reasonable invocation

the amount of times I've had to clean shit up after someone like this "didn't think $x would matter"...

you know what

I'll do you the courtesy of an even mildly thorough response, despite the fact that this is not the place and that it's not my fucking job

one of the literal pillars of security intrusions/research/breakthroughs is in the field of exploiting side effects. as recently as 3 days ago there was some new stuff published about a fun and ridiculous way to do such things. and that kind of thing can be done in far more types of environments than you'd guess. people have managed large-scale intrusions/events by the simple matter of getting their hands on a teensy little fucking bit of string.

there are many ways this shit can be abused. and now I'm going to stop replying to this section, on which I've already said more than enough.

so you start by claiming that you don't think there's any problematic security potential, follow it up by clarifying that you actually have no fucking understanding of how any of it could work and might matter, and then you get annoyed at the response? so rude, indeed!

it’s not too late to say sike

citation needed ;p

it "speaking gibberish" is not the problem. the answer to your question is literally in the third paragraph in the article.

if you do not comprehend what it references or implies, then (quite seriously) if you are in any way involved in any security shit get the fuck out. alternatively read up some history about, well, literally any actual technical detail of even lightly technical systems hacking. and that's about as much free advice as I'm gonna give you.

orbstack 1.6.4:

Debug Shell: AI-powered package install suggestions for commands

in the app upgrade popup it's just bare text. in the documentation for debug shell there's no reference. in the release notes feed it's the same bare text

I've already sent feedback asking for more information about it, but just ..... what? I mean there's that annoying(-to-me) ubuntu shell hook that goes "oh hey $binary not found, try installing $pkg!" already, and that's been out for years, but what?

if/when I hear more I'll post comment I guess. in the meantime consider me fucking bewildered.

.......I'll allow it

sure hope you're not in charge of security anywhere

for the viewers at home who may not know about this feature, it's also usable via keyboard: ctrl+/- (except for macos where it's cmd+/-)

and yeah it's handy as hell. also took a quick look earlier, the iOS Fx version actually seems to have this natively? I was kinda surprised. iOS Fx is usually nerfed as hell.

(I can't usefully contribute to much of this thread right now 'cuz still reading the post, likely finishing tomorrow, yaaaaay computer yaks...)

I’m not sure how the quote will be represented by the flawed ActivityPub bridge from Lemmy to Mastodon

opened it myself (mastodon.social localized view), quoteblock seems to have survived

which semi-sorta makes sense from the code I saw in the lemmy post-handling AP code the ... "other" day (oh christ that was over a month ago -_-)
