I'm more upset than I've been in a while. Windows 11 sets the default documents folder to onedrive\documents. Anything that gets saved there gets backed up to one drive. This includes various save games, all my Reaper stuff, and various other odds and ends that I like to, you know, save. To […]

I think the total was ten. I actually lost count, which is crazy in and of itself.

You're right. If only I'd realized, ten years ago, that ten years from now, Microsoft would delete my most important files for no reason. Skill issue on my part.

@prism That's awful. This is a great example of Microsoft picking product defaults which benefit themselves and not the customer. Storing files only in OneDrive is less safe (only 1 copy of the file), slower to open, and unexpected to the customer. All just so MS can pad their cloud usage […]

@prism @simonzerafa BitLocker is enabled by default when installing Windows 10 and newer if the computer has a working TPM (this basically means every Windows 11 machine), however it'll remain in suspended state (meaning no key is needed to decrypt) until you log in to a Microsoft account (or AD […]

To be clear, this ONLY helps with accounts that haven't been accessed in the past 6 months. That means you, who are reading this, could have your mastodon/fedi account taken over if the password you use has been stolen and do not have MFA enabled. Please, make sure you use a unique password here […]

There are major account take-over problems happening right now on mastodon instances - all appearances are that the actor is using stolen passwords, probably from malware running on desktops. I've suspended hundreds of compromised accounts over the past 48 hours, but only two on mine. If you […]

@xorbit First off, there's the reality of the situation, which is that law exists to serve corporations not the other way around. But also, assuming I were to somehow sue Microsoft and win, how to calculate the damages? They are priceless to me, worthless to anyone else.

My favorit take from the chuds who have presumably never done anything wrong in their lives is that "you should have had a backup." I did have a backup. The backup was OneDrive. Learn to read you fucking mongaloids.

TLDR: Onedrive is malware. Set all your files to offline only, then remove it from your computer, before this happens to you.

News stories about the weird and corrupt Kimberly Guilfoyle all seem to mention that she was Trump Jr.'s fiance but don't mention that she was married to Gavin Newsom. Both are relevant or neither is relevant. (Both are.)

According to news reports, HSI seized Rep. Ilhan Omar's "passports", plural. Has anyone seen the judicial warrant? Did a judge authorize the seizure of Omar's official black diplomatic passport that members of Congress are entitled to and required to use for official government travel?

Meta just announced their new Open Weight AI model and advertised its ability to contribute to an open source Mastodon client (that's developed by an OpenAI employee) as a key selling point... research.meta.ai/blog/muse-spark-op…

Optimized for Apple Silicon

Leveraging the latest version of MLX, Muse Spark Open was optimized to run on Mac Studio with M5 Ultra, and together they’re the best way to run a powerful model on your own desktop.

Apple’s unified memory architecture lets the M5 Ultra's integrated GPU use up to 512 GB per Mac Studio, so two machines can hold an entire model. And the chip’s 1.2 TB/s of memory bandwidth is fast enough to read the small slice each token needs. The result is two Mac Studios behave like one supercomputer with a terabyte of unified memory.

We tested a range of agentic workflows running entirely on-device, using Muse Code powered by Muse Spark Open, including shipping real iOS changes to Ice Cubes (an open-source Mastodon client) — bug fixes, new features, full build — and driving DaVinci Resolve end to end, with the model reviewing footage frame by frame to find the strongest moments and crop them vertically.
