New comment by striking in "Germany's far-right AfD: half a million internal documents leaked"

The way I see it, either you are curious enough to download some of the files or you are not. I don't understand this middle ground where you spend more time complaining about the distribution method than it would take to download. It feels contrived or even in bad faith, especially given that the link above would allow you to do exactly that without starting a torrent client.

If you're so curious, why not have a look? The files are pretty obviously available, any online magnet link viewer will show them to you https://webtor.io/db503db679f508aa31a9e07913b2aa8cf7aa6dff?p...

https://github.com/huggingface/funes/ has been my go-to here (specifically for conversation search), but I do appreciate that there's a frontend on this one that can recall a session and open the correct agent for it (rather than my opening one agent, then opening another when I've gotten it wrong). Looks nice. Well done.

Pangram thinks it's a mix, with around 40% of the text being AI. This was sort of my feeling about it even before running it through a checker, that a human wrote or rewrote some segments but others do feel distinctly high in perplexity and were potentially written by AI.

That being said, does it really matter? It comes off as bad writing. The mixed metaphors are hard to follow and detract from the point.

Did you dodge the phone price increase somehow? Phones also need RAM (and ambitions of running local models)

Any tips on GI impact? I pair mine with food and lots of water and it's improved but wondering if there's any more I should be doing

Going from minimal exercise to light-moderate exercise will do as much for you as creatine would. To me it's almost a no-brainer to try doing both.

New comment by striking in "Transit rewards"

striking — Wed, 23 Sep 2026 16:41:37 +0000

You say that, but if your SF tax dollars were paying for VTA you'd probably have stronger complaints... Moreover, public transit isn't evenly distributed even within SF so I don't think the transit agency count is an important variable.

They're all tied together through Clipper, so it doesn't make a difference to end users anyway.

Snap implemented these features and others long before Scratch had. To my memory it might have been a decade earlier.

Disallowing LLM contributions doesn't disqualify the use of LLMs to identify vulnerabilities.

Where does it say that domains you own can be used? I'm looking around and nothing clearly states it afaict.

to me, implies that you need to set up Google Workspace for that domain before it'll work.

New comment by striking in "GrapheneOS says Pixel 11 has MTE support after all"

striking — Wed, 02 Sep 2026 19:12:04 +0000

I think that's a worthwhile point to consider but it's only relevant if we move the goalposts from "GrapheneOS is only used by Android ROM enthusiasts" to "GrapheneOS is only supported by one small Android phone manufacturer".

To be frank, though, I don't see any of this line of reasoning as relevant; it's just appeals to greater authorities on either end. If AOSP is only for manufacturers there's really no reason for it to be open source in the first place. And then folks who care about actually improving security end-to-end outside of whatever's convenient to implement by those beholden to the quarterly profit metrics are up a creek.

Personally, if this whole GrapheneOS/Motorola thing doesn't improve the state of the ecosystem I'm going back to Apple or whatever other manufacturer makes it clear they take security seriously.
