The Rust Security Response WG was notified that Cargo did not respect the umask when extracting crate archives on UNIX-like systems. If the user downloaded a crate containing files writeable by any local user, another local user could exploit this to change the source code compiled and executed by the current user.

Someone I know recently switched from automatic bathroom lights to manual ones. Remembering to turn them on isn't an issue, but months later everyone still forgets to turn them off.

And .box has been registered as a generic TLD now, so you could run into external .box domains.

They're not going to have open signups. It's government agencies only. Not that there's technically anything stopping Germans from joining the PR departments of our government agencies…

So what you're saying is that Twitter successfully kept out a bad actor.

It's a shame that most of the users they have left are also in that category, but hey, they seem to be working on it.

These are all fine in the US, but in other countries not carrying proof of identity can get you into some trouble, as can refusing to talk to the police. Know your local laws.

One's a bit raw and touchy, but the other is vintage stuff, brought up to date

uBlock Origin seems to be included in the whitelist, so I'm sure the point of this isn't to show you ads.

In a sense. Ernest has control over kbin.social, meaning he could delete any content posted directly to kbin.social, delete accounts on kbin.social, and so on, if he wanted to. The other instance admins have that same power on their own instances. He doesn't have any control over content on other /kbin instances or on Lemmy instances that federate with kbin.social, and because /kbin itself is free software he can't fully control that either. Even if Ernest turns evil you would always be able to make a new account somewhere else, subscribe to the same non-kbin.social communities that you did before, and carry on where you left off.

Fallout: New Vegs - a post-apocalyptic farming simulator.

So far it doesn't look like he's getting away with it. Ad revenue is down 60% compared to last year, it doesn't look like there is enough revenue from subscriptions to make up for that, and they're being evicted from one of their offices.

I like that it's at the bottom. That encourages at least skimming the other comments before you add your own, hopefully cutting down on the number of times people comment the exact same thing.

If you want it to be at the top instead, that's one of the options provided by the Kbin enhancement script.

And the dream of a Hülkenberg podium goes on (probably briefly).
