That was probably close to one of the last versions of enlightenment I used regularly. It was such a fun WM to use at the time. If I remember correctly, GNOME and KDE were really ramping up about then and e fell behind.

What are you doing step-truck?

My dog sees my girlfriend and I and then after, she wants a piece of my leg. It's kinda cute, but disturbing at the same time. She knows what she's doing. Parrots yeah I'm not surprised either.

Seems very similar to Zenbleed in terms of using certain register optimisation and speculative execution to get crippling security exploits. Thus far I haven't read too much into the detail of the attack but This article on Zenbleed, written by the attack's author, describes how the attack in detail and how he came to find it using fuzzing techniques - in this case two sets of instructions that should have had the same result, but they didn't.

The write-up for this one is presumably this one.

Here is a good write-up of Zenbleed for the Ryzen 2 and up vulnerability. It uses similar register optimisation and speculative execution to get the same effect.

Not really, here's why:

  • weak ciphers
  • SCSV (protocol fallback)

That's why I didn't go for that thankless job.

You and me both man, AU$170 is whack. But not really if you look to amortize it :P

Considering the API/experience is quite different (with its own nuances) in the fediverse, the idea to create an app from scratch was a good idea. Copying and pasting UI code and framework from Sync aside. Especially when the platform is being improved to handle some meaningful load/traffic right now and is clearly needing further development - he's got time. We are already week 4 of a 3-6 week estimate, and he's teasing us with some very nice screenshots already. Reddit gave very short notice of the API changes, and they then carried them out. Ultimate subscribers leaving in droves, sadly. Even with the choice he was just making about usernames, it's clear to me that he's been putting a lot of attention to detail in the first appearance of Sync for Lemmy. Everything is important when it comes to being a class leader, there is nothing more important than setting the example that others follow or copy. When other developers come into your Lemmy community and try to snipe users so blatently as what has happened - is it any wonder he's wanting perfection!

It's about sending a message. He's clearly wanting to show these other android developer noobs how it's done.
