surely gstreamer could've handled that easier?

A Hacker's Arrest Reveals Microsoft Can Track Users Via a Windows Device ID in c/privacy@programming.dev

Linux distros have the same kind of device ID mechanism (/etc/machine-id or /var/lib/dbus/machine-id)... the only difference is how applications use it.

All Cars Sold in the EU Now Require a Camera Aimed at Your Face. It’s Still Not Clear Where That Data Goes in c/privacy@programming.dev
[–] refalo@programming.dev 4 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (1 children)

Starting July 7, 2026, every new car sold in the European Union must include a driver monitoring camera aimed at your face

Patently false. The rule says nothing about how the ADDW system must function. All the sites claiming that a camera is even required are completely making shit up.

https://eur-lex.europa.eu/eli/reg/2019/2144/oj/eng

It is merely defined as:

‘advanced emergency braking system’ means a system which can automatically detect a potential collision and activate the vehicle braking system to decelerate the vehicle with the purpose of avoiding or mitigating a collision;

It's up to each individual manufacturer to design a system that fulfills that purpose, however they feel like doing it.

Please stop spreading misinformation.

The one saving grace here is that the 100 mile zone only applies to federal authorities... so a local police agency still needs a warrant to track you.

I still don't understand how 'bridging' isn't 'bindings'.

I did read it, it doesn't answer my question.

Is this not the exact same Cambridge Analytica? Wikipedia seems to say this is their domain.

Why can it not be a simple "click here if you are over X age" button like it always has been? Where in the text of this new bill does it actually say more sophisticated checking is mandated?

This does not restrict commercial data collection.

Does it apply to governments who have acquired commercial data collections? What if the government asks a company to search for someone but aren't given the entire history?

IMO history isn't relevant here though because I specifically quantified my statement with "at this moment in time" since I knew I would get a response like this.

ICPP – Running C++ in anywhere like a script (github.com)
 

Interpreting C++, executing the source and executable like a script.

  • Writing powerful script using C++ just as easy as Python;
  • Writing hot-loading C++ script code in running process;
  • Based on Unicorn Engine qemu virtual cpu and Clang/LLVM C++ compiler;
  • Integrated internally with Standard C++23 and Boost libraries;
  • To reuse the existing C/C++ library as an icpp module extension is extremely simple.

There is also a Qt helper module: https://github.com/vpand/icpp-qt

403 on API endpoints (lemmy.readme.io)
 

Tried to use several different API endpoints as described in the link, but they all return 403 with a cloudflare "Just a moment..." html reply. Even tried copying an existing jwt token from a working logged-in browser but the same thing still happens.

Any idea what I could be doing wrong?

curl -v --request POST \
     --url https://programming.dev/api/v3/user/login \
     --header 'accept: application/json' \
     --header 'content-type: application/json' \
     --data '{"username_or_email": "redacted", "password": "redacted"}'

Some comments not appearing? (programming.dev)

I am noticing that some comments, which are coming from users on other verified (via /instances) federated instances, do not show up on a post. For example: https://programming.dev/post/13648105

Does not show this comment on it: https://lemmy.ml/comment/10803786

Any ideas why? I checked the modlog and the comment wasn't removed, and their post history to me does not look like someone that is likely to be banned from the instance, so I'm not sure what else it could be.

Is there a way to view the frontpage of another server, or get an RSS feed of another server's single community? (programming.dev)
 

My lemmy account is on the programming.dev instance but I use newsboat for RSS reading of some lemmy.ml communities, along with browsing the local homepage of lemmy.ml and some other instances in a regular browser. Is there a way to do either of these things from the programming.dev instance so that I can easily comment on posts without having to manually locate the same post by browsing to /c/foo@lemmy.ml on my own instance?
