Technology@piefed.social•8 Million Users' AI Conversations Sold for Profit by "Privacy" ExtensionsEnglish
5·5 小时前I downloaded the Urban VPN Proxy chrome extension using https://robwu.nl/crxviewer/ and grepped the source code.
At no point is window.fetch reassigned with their own function. There is no “window.fetch” anywhere in their code.
Also the variables
sendClaudeMesages, etc in their first screenshot only appear there and are not used anywhere else in the code. Whatever those config variables are for, they don’t do anything.The rest of their code screenshots are legit (notice the legit ones have a smaller font?) but without window.fetch the whole thing can’t do what they say it does.
Moreover, large chunks of that article is written with a LLM (it’s koi.ai so I shouldn’t be surprised) and ends with a pitch for their services.
This doesn’t look right.
When a company writes a blog post, 95% of the time it’s intended to juice their SEO rankings, rage-bait to go viral and boost their social media profile, or an ad disguised as an article. Be very skeptical of company blogs.
Yes, we’ll be taking a good look at all this quite soon - https://codeberg.org/rimu/pyfedi/issues/1474

Hardware•Dell and Lenovo may limit mid-range laptops to 8GB DDR5 RAM in response to rising memory pricesEnglish
19·21 小时前Maybe they’ll (re)start selling laptops with Linux pre-installed!
Or switch to ddr4, lol. Laptop CPUs are crippled garbage anyway, might as well use old ram.

World News•Pilot narrowly avoids ‘midair collision’ with US air force plane near VenezuelaEnglish
21·21 小时前Didn’t stop everyone having a good foam at the mouth over it tho, aye 😜
Pretty disappointing how few people really read the articles.

Artificial Intelligence•Common misconception: "Model collapse" and synthetic dataEnglish
51·1 天前To put it more generally: we can assume that the problems we see with AI are well known to the professionals working on it and that they are some of the smartest people around. Just because you and I can’t think of a solution doesn’t mean they won’t, eventually.
I meant when you create a post, click on ‘More options’ to set the language:

Sorry it is quite hidden!
Please let the post language to Spanish when posting in a Spanish community.

Programming@programming.dev•Kinda proud of this python script I wroteEnglish
10·2 天前Nice one 👍
You might want to make the container name a command line parameter or env var, incase that changes in future.

PieFed Meta@piefed.social•Easily set up your PieFed instance using YunoHost!English
9·2 天前Check out https://join.piefed.social/features for a comparison.
A subdomain should be fine.

Fediverse@piefed.social•Question: How To Copy and Paste Text that has Hyperlinks?English
7·2 天前That’s a good idea for a feature. I’ve added it to the pile - https://codeberg.org/rimu/pyfedi/issues/1506

Fediverse•How feasible would it be to host Mastodon, Pixelfed, Lemmy, Friendica, or Matrix over Tor/I2P?English
2·3 天前I took the question to be “could you currently host fedi servers on the dark web, without any big changes to their code” but yeah I’m sure it’s possible to make it happen, if people wanted to put in the work.

artporn@piefed.social•Self Portrait In A Straw Hat by Elisabeth Louise Vigée Le Brun (After 1782)English
2·3 天前I like the sunlight on the white fabric, and how it reflects up to the underside of her hat.
Great skin tones too. Zoom in on https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/3/35/Self-portrait_in_a_Straw_Hat_by_Elisabeth-Louise_Vigée-Lebrun.jpg to see more detail.

Fediverse•How feasible would it be to host Mastodon, Pixelfed, Lemmy, Friendica, or Matrix over Tor/I2P?English
131·3 天前Not feasible.
Just use an instance that is outside USA and not using a USA hosting company? Half the fediverse uses Hetzner, for example. OVH (French) is another popular provider.

PieFed Meta@piefed.social•New: Automaticlly turn remote fediverse links into local linksEnglish

Obviously tho, any free VPN is going to monitor your traffic and sell your data, don’t use them. I’m sure Urban VPN is sketchy as hell the point is koi.ai is trying to make money by polluting our information space.
