RADV+ACO Look To Your Help For Improving The Vulkan Driver & Linux Gaming Performance

RADV is a Vulkan driver for AMD GPUs that is part of the Mesa project and installed on most Linux distros out of the box. Our goal is to deliver a stable and performant driver to Linux gamers, and recently we've made our own shader compiler called ACO. To create the best possible experience, we'd like to take it a step further and ask our users for some testing and feedback.

Stash - an organizer for your porn

What is Stash?

Stash allows you to organize and view your own collection of adult video and image files. Think of it like a private PornHub site for your personal porn collection.

View your content

Preview and view all of your scenes and galleries from your web browser on your PC, tablet or phone. Stash directly streams videos to your web browser. Stash supports streaming of a large variety of formats and codecs to most web browsers.

Curate your content

Rate your scenes, and tag them with performers, tags, movies and studios. Filter and sort your content with a variety of filter and sorting options.

Stash also allows you to derive scene metadata from video filenames. Alternatively, you can scrape scene metadata from websites using community-curated scrapers.

Google wants to connect everything you own to the internet

Surveilling older adults, connected helmets, wearables talking to doctors and other patents from Big Tech.

Hello and welcome back to the world of zany patents from Big Tech! While 2020 is still dragging on (I know it's 2021, but you can't tell me 2020 is over until I can go anywhere other than the grocery store), at least there are still great new patents to uncover. And there's some fascinating ones this week, including Facebook wanting to make clothes like real in games, Microsoft trying to make sports more inclusive and Google wanting to make it easier to spy on your parents. If that's something you want to do.

And remember: The big tech companies file all kinds of crazy patents for things, and though most never amount to anything, some end up defining the future.

⚠️ Alphabet - Surveilling older adults

⚠️ Making analog products digital

⚠️ Keeping your doctor in the loop

⚠️ Amazon - Autonomous avoiding

⚠️ Apple - Detecting traffic wardens

⚠️ Facebook - Simulating clothing

⚠️ Microsoft - An automatic travel diary

⚠️ Bringing sports to visually-impaired people

⚠️ Icebreakers on social media

Court Orders Telegram To Block Pirated Movies, TV Shows and Music

A court has ordered Telegram to block access to pirated movies, TV shows and music following a lawsuit filed in Israel. Local anti-piracy group ZIRA complained that the messaging platform does not properly respond to takedown notices, contrary to Telegram's claims that it does. Telegram is now working with rightsholders to implement the injunction.

Last November, the RIAA and MPAA nominated popular messenger app Telegram for inclusion on the USTR’s ‘notorious markets’ list, claiming that the platform doesn’t do enough to combat piracy.

A month later, the EU added the service to its own ‘Counterfeit and Piracy Watch List’, noting that along with other social media platforms, Telegram “lags behind” in respect of efforts to combat piracy.

This opinion is shared by Israel-based anti-piracy group ZIRA. Last year, ZIRA – which represents local media companies – took its complaints to court, hoping to force Telegram to take a more serious approach to infringement mitigation.

gael@mastodon.social - We have this interesting feature proposal for /e/OS: a second "panic" PIN code that can fully erase the device in case of emergency. It's been rejected by Google for Android.

Do you think we should implement it?

The Great Firewall of...America? WTZ!

This past week on Feb 2 - Feb 7, 2021 a massive attack was conducted on encrypted services, particular VPN's. VPN traffic was throttled to near unusability.

Basically in 2021, the Great Firewall of the USA was turned on. And then abrubtly turned off.

Purpose of the action was unknown. No party stepped up to acknowledge and aside from me, no one has stepped up to call any Internet Provider of their egregious action against privacy minded people.

Why did this attack happen?
Why did the attack stop?

Australia report says make Google and Facebook pay for news.

CANBERRA, Australia (AP) — Australia’s Parliament will debate making Google and Facebook pay for news after a Senate committee on Friday recommended no changes to drafts of the world’s first such laws.

The Senate Economics Legislation Committee has been scrutinizing the bill since it was introduced in Parliament in December.

The senators rejected Facebook and Google’s arguments that the so-called media bargaining code, which would force the digital giants to negotiate payment to Australian news media for the news content to which the platforms link, was unworkable.

But the committee also recognized that the legislation carried risks and should be reviewed after a year.

Telegram privacy feature failed to delete self-destructing video files.

Telegram has fixed a security issue where self-destructing audio and video files were not being deleted from user's macOS devices as expected.

Telegram offers a 'Secret Chat' mode that offers increased privacy than the standard chats.

When in a Secret Chat, the connections are all end-to-end encrypted, you can't forward messages to other users, and all messages and media can be configured to automatically self-destruct and be removed from all devices after a certain amount of time.

Yesterday, security researcher Dhiraj Mishra told BleepingComputer that he discovered a vulnerability in the Secret Chat feature on Telegram 7.3 where self-destructing media is not deleted from recipients' devices.
