@wendinoakland @pixelfed All software is "algos". Precise language is important.

@wendinoakland @pixelfed I think it's a massive problem that, after prolonged scaremongering across all media channels, "algorithms" are now misunderstood in common parlance as being "something bad". How are we supposed to help people achieve greater digital literacy when basic technical concepts are reinterpreted in such a tabloid fashion?

@pixelfed amazing news! Do you have a guide though about how to find the right content? I really struggle to find content there.

@tux0r @pixelfed Excellent point, and knowing now that an algorithm is, essentially, a set of rules, it’s unfortunate that the word’s been coopted by the masses to indicate corporate complicity or involuntary influencing when there’s probably another more accurate term. Language is complicated.

@wendinoakland @pixelfed A more accurate term for biased/manipulative algorithms is probably "biased/manipulative algorithms". While knowing that "algorithms" _can_ have less obvious side effects, it is important to "colloquially" point out that those are a subset of algorithms. I've yet to find a better term myself.

@wendinoakland @pixelfed Given that algorithms are usually man-made "rule sets" which are designed for a certain program flow, I'd argue that there are no "independent" or "neutral" algorithms.

@wendinoakland @pixelfed Chronology is biased as well. What if a random user does NOT want a chronological timeline and would prefer a "for you" feed, filled with whoever pays best?

@wendinoakland @pixelfed Precisely. TikTok would not be anywhere close to its current popularity if they would just have a chronological timeline. There are no "objectively good" algorithms.

@wendinoakland @pixelfed Yes I have set it to black, but that is not default. Try to log out and delete cookies or use an other device where you are not loged in, then you can see that whit is default.

Retro Rover: LT6502 Laptop Packs 8-Bit Power on the Go
Making your own laptop can be a challenging project, but a doable one, especially given the large number of options available today for computing. Of course nothing says you need to use a modern component in your build, and in the LT6502 project by [TechPaula] they didn’t go with a modern RPi or the like, nope went right back to about 50 years ago to use a 6502 at the heart of this DIY laptop build.
The 6502 is an 8-bit microprocessor from the 1970s, found in the Commodore 64 and Apple II. This wasn’t their first venture into 8 MHz world of the 6502, prior to this laptop build there was a desktop build the PC6502 bringing this chip of old into a PC/104 form factor. The LT6502 adds in the things you’d expect with a laptop, a 9-inch foldable screen, a 10,000 mAh battery, several external ports for things such as serial console and USB-C charging. A custom keyboard adds in low-profile switches as well as including a HDSP-style 8-character display, a great addition for a modern take on this vintage chip. Onboard there is 46 KB of RAM and with the addition of the CompactFlash for storage the LT6502 runs EhBASIC which we’ve seen before in some other great projects.
The case is mainly 3D-printed safely enclosing the custom PCBs for both the keyboard and motherboard, and providing a satisfying glow with the built-in LEDs within. All of the files are up on the project’s site so be sure to swing by and check out both this and the desktop PC/104 predecessor to it. Great job [TechPaula], looking forward to seeing the future installments on the LT6502 such as implementing the included internal expansion slot.

@SnoopJ @whitequark @futuresprog yeah the whole point of v3 is the capability negotiation mechanism, with everything else being optional and up to the client to choose, so you can't really version it

SSHStalker: 16 bug per compromettere Linux. Vecchi ma ancora molto letali
📌 Link all'articolo : https://www.redhotcyber.com/post/16-bug-per-compromettere-linux-alcuni-sono-vecchi-ma-molti-ancora-letali/
I #ricercatori di Flare hanno scoperto una nuova botnet #Linux, SSHStalker. Il malware si infiltra nei #dispositivi tramite attacchi brute-force SSH, quindi utilizza #sistemi compromessi per trovare nuovi obiettivi, diffondendosi efficacemente come un #worm.
Gli attacchi della #botnet prendono di mira principalmente l’infrastruttura #Oracle #Cloud. Secondo gli #esperti, l’infezione iniziale avviene tramite #scansione SSH automatizzata e attacchi brute-force.
