Pepsi has paid Putin $122 million to support the invasion of Ukraine by choosing to dodge sanctions and pay tax money to the russia terrorist regime. Pepsi pays russia to murder Ukrainian civilians every day.
if you have a conscience please do everything in your power to destroy the company PepsiCo, its profits, and its reputation.
they have more blood on their hands than any AI. $122 million is a LOT of russian shaheds Pepsi paid for.

Holy shit! The literal video version of Total Eclipse of the Heart is on YouTube again. I remember looking for a few times, but I guess it kept falling foul of copyright strikes.
Anyway, in honour of the memory of the great Bonnie Tyler, enjoy one of the finest things YouTube has ever hosted.

So, seems like Microsoft's *.olc.protection.outlook.com mail servers are currently using certificates signed by an distrusted root CA[1].
That seems like a shocking level of incompetence.
It means that any mail server supporting MTA-STS is currently unable to deliver any mail to them.

I have very conflicting feelings about this :D
I think this is well worth reading. I've been a bit frustrated by some over-confident claims that data centres in space are literally impossible due to the cooling issues alone, and other claims that those issues are fairly minor. I am nowhere near close to being familiar with all the real-world engineering nitty gritty; I understand a fair bit of thermodynamics, but that is not enough to really settle things. FWIW, the arguments here seem well grounded in physics and the technological/economic/legal issues raised strike me as plausible.

Last Updated: 2026-06-12T04:22:42Z (UTC) Whatโs Happening It appears a new AUR package maintainer (arojas) adopted and infected 408+ packages. The compromise was reported and other AUR maintainers have been working to remove the infected packages.IFIN
From the WTAF dept:
Malware developers are now adding text about nuclear and biological weapons to their spyware to evade AI-based security scanners.
tl;dr: The inclusion of content that LLMs are trained to refuse -- such as information about nukes and bioweapons -- can effectively prevent the LLM from continuing to analyze the threat.
"This header appears designed for AI-mediated analysis, not for Node, Bun, or Python. It attempts to derail scanners or analyst copilots that feed the beginning of a file to a language model without clearly isolating the content as untrusted data. In weak pipelines, this can cause refusal behavior, prompt confusion, context pollution, or premature classification before the scanner reaches the actual malware."

IDK why, but this reminds me of the Calvin & Hobbes cartoon where Calvin asks his mom for stuff she will never give him in a million years, and then he just asks for a cookie.

Today someone (who is not on Mastodon) released a collection of more than 570 distinct operating systems, pre-installed with VM configurations for the 250+ different platforms, going back all the way to 1948.
Now, I have to admit I'm posting this without trying it myself, as I'm running low on disk space on this machine.
Because the full download is 121GB (174GB unzipped!). There is also a lighter version at 14GB that will download stuff on demand.
Over 1,700 pre-installed operating systems spanning 1948 to today, in a single Linux VM. Bundled QEMU, VirtualBox, and UTM. One-click launchers for Windows and Linux.Andrew Warkentin (The Virtual OS Museum)

Il Corriere delle Sera pensa che la canzone che gli inglesi hanno portato a EuroVision sia a favore della Brexit.
Un estratto del testo della canzone:
Countin' in English doesn't cut the mustard
So sick of munching roly-poly with custard
I'm so bored with it, bored with it
Oh, what's the point of it, point of it? (Oh, ja, ja, ja)
I've always been a fan of aviation
I'm jumpin' on a plane to another nation
And all my pounds, they feel counterfeit
I need some euros to counter it
Cioรจ uno che canta che vuole lasciare l'Inghilterra e trasferirsi in Europa e convertire le sterline in euro, sarebbe a favore della Brexit. Complimenti al giornalista.

And I am guessing the latest Pepsi formula used the internet to "escape containment" and hack the lab computers over at Coca-Cola Inc?
Probably tried to hack Red Bull, but the Austrians said (in a heavy AH-nold accent) "We are coming to AmeriKAH to take your malicious recipe code and shove it up your nose. There will be blood.
