Futurology Today

There isn't, in my opinion, a fully ideal home for US-centric news that isn't politics.

Now there is!

How can I add alt text to my image files, ideally when I import the files ? Tags I make with Dolphin or Digikam aren't visible except where they're made

Thought I'd ask here before I start submitting feature requests

My mod on youtube (he mods other streams as well) has lost the use of the only TTS he was able to find that worked. I would like to find at least a good plugin for a browser, or even something to work across apps on his windows 11.

This affects Signal too

An issue with Cloudflare allows an attacker to find which Cloudflare data center a messaging app used to cache an image, meaning an attacker can obtain the approximate location of Signal, Discord, Twitter/X, and likely other chat app users. In some cases an attacker only needs to send an image across the app, with the target not clicking it, to obtain their location.

Signal, an open-source encrypted messaging service, is widely used by journalists and activists for its privacy features. Internally, the app utilizes two CDNs for serving content: cdn.signal.org (powered by CloudFront) for profile avatars and cdn2.signal.org (powered by Cloudflare) for message attachments.

Summary

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy stated that enforcing a peace deal with Russia would require at least 200,000 allied troops, emphasizing Europe’s need to strengthen its defenses against Russian aggression.

Speaking at Davos, he called for greater EU investment in military technology and urged NATO membership as Ukraine’s best security guarantee, despite opposition from the U.S., Germany, Hungary, and Slovakia.

Zelenskyy criticized Kremlin demands to shrink Ukraine’s army and warned that if Russia wins in Ukraine, it could threaten other nations.

Title. This error/crash happens with certain web pages only whilst everything else works as intended. Any ideas of what is going on? Running on sway, on a Orange pi 5 max with 16 GiB of ram. Dietpi. Thanks in advance. And yes, Firefox runs just fine without any crashes whatsoever.

Overview

Create: Protection Pixel is a popular Create addon with over half a million downloads. It is available on CurseForge and was formerly available on Modrinth; its page has now been taken down. It was made with MCreator.

Ever since version 1.1.2, the mod .jar bundles the Amplitude Java SDK under com.amplitude, and the org.json:json library (a dependency of Amplitude SDK) under org.json. Amplitude is a software analytics company. This is, obviously, unusual code to find in a Minecraft mod.

The mod also contains four classes placed under com.brightsdk: Device, Main, SessionTracker, and Storage.

The code under com.brightsdk does not appear to be correctly activated, but if it was correctly called, it would collect the following datapoints:

• your device vendor and platform,
• your operating system name and version,
• the total amount of RAM in your computer,
• the currently in-use amount of RAM,
• the current CPU usage,

and upload them (together with your IP address) to Amplitude's tracking URL at https://api2.amplitude.com/2/httpapi using the API key 7cce83b37fb5848cad6789d71a39b809. The code would send the data every minute at first, but gradually slow down to every 30 minutes.

I have a close friend that I've known 20 years who became obsessed with right-wing politics. even though I'm liberal, I don't make it my entire personality and life. But anyway... I was talking to him this morning casually like friends do.

Me: "Hey man. Do you have off today for MLK day?" Friend: "No, I have to work today." Me: "Damn, sorry to hear. I have off today since it's a company holiday." Friend: "Yeah, I work for a living. Guess that's the difference me and people who live in an ivory tower." Me: "Uhh I work for a living too. Idk why you're acting like I don't?" Friend: "I didn't mean you specifically. But you’re off and I’m not so it shows that you get to relax at least. You should be able to handle the truth lol. There's no shame in admitting that I'm a harder worker than everyone else. you shouldn't be so sensitive"

Honestly, he's not unique, either. I've met so many people who are conservative, obsessed with right-wing stuff, and they're all like this. They act like they're special and the whole world is lazy, "no one wants to work anymore" attitude.
