Piracy: ꜱᴀɪʟ ᴛʜᴇ ʜɪɢʜ ꜱᴇᴀꜱ@lemmy.dbzer0.com•Denuvo has been brokenEnglish

Using the hypervisor bypass, even in its latest incarnation, requires users to disable:
- Virtualization-Based Security (VBS): a layer that separates the Windows operating system from the its security enforcement features that run at a higher privilege level.
- Credential Guard: a sub-feature of VBS that keeps login credentials in an container isolated from the rest of the operating system.
- Driver Signature Enforcement: verification that any drivers installed in the system must have a digital signature issued by Microsoft to an identifiable company or developer, in order to prevent installing random drivers at the system level.
- Core Isolation / Memory Integrity (HVCI): similar to the above, but prevents any kernel-level unsigned code entirely, as well as modifications to existing signed code so programs can’t attempt to mess with existing drivers.
- Installing a community-made hypervisor (HV) with Windows running on top of it. This HV fakes responses to the checks that Denuvo makes, and runs with higher permissions (ring level -1) than the operating system itself and has full, nearly untraceable access to hardware and software.

Technology@lemmy.world•Claude Code's source code appears to have leaked: here's what we knowEnglish
176·1 month agoPerhaps the most discussed technical detail is the “Undercover Mode.” This feature reveals that Anthropic uses Claude Code for “stealth” contributions to public open-source repositories.
The system prompt discovered in the leak explicitly warns the model: “You are operating UNDERCOVER… Your commit messages… MUST NOT contain ANY Anthropic-internal information. Do not blow your cover.”
Laws should have been put in place years ago to make it so that AI usage needs to be explicitly declared.

5·1 month agoI use Teams flatpak to communicate with family and like a week ago got a prompt “would you recommend this to others?”.
I clicked no, and for the reason “Sloppity slop slop slopitty slop” and 3 days later M$ announced they were rolling back Copilot integration in trivial apps. I felt listened to :P

Technology@lemmy.world•Rubenerd: Using Thunderbird for RSSEnglish
21·2 months agoJust started using it. With zero xp posts an article expecting to matter.
I use Thunderbird too, and have so for years. The RSS implementation sucks. It will randomly crap out and autopause all feeds. The data often corrupts rendering the link folder useless and is very difficult to properly purge as the gui process will often fail. You’ll have to look up instructions and delete the folders manually. Very disappointing, but better than nothing.
I’ve been using open source RSS apps from Fdroid and have yet to find one that doesn’t have glaring bugs. I don’t understand why feed reading is so difficult. Probably that it supports so many forms of media but I’m just a clueless scrub that isn’t posting to blogs so what do I know.

Technology@lemmy.world•Privacy researcher debunks Microsoft Edge’s free VPN marketing, says it's "NOT a VPN"English
8·2 months agoISPs know what sites you are visiting and when…
and your name. address, credit card number. You’re 100% right, just wanted to make sure this isn’t skipped over.
Librewolf is my goto browser + vpn + ublock. If they get through that it’s my fault imo
I agree 100% with the sentiment, but it 100% does not apply to Linux. The (when it actually exists which too often it doesn’t) ‘manual’ 90% of the time is written out of order by an expert presuming that 98% of what is being stated isn’t greek to the newb and consequently ends up being completely useless if not downright harmful for them.
My favourite so far is: App has feature that can be installed but requires several dependencies before it will install it. The feature has it’s own ‘handy’ cli command to point to an AppImage for a dependency which is useless because THE APP WON"T INSTALL THE FEATURE IN THE FIRST PLACE WITHOUT THE DEPENDENCY.
I don’t want to spend all my spare time for a week learning about commands and syntax for 5 other distros trying to figure out why this fucking [insert device that supposedly nobody else ever has a problem with] isn’t working. I’m not looking for a job in IT. I don’t want to burn my eyeballs out translating nerdspeak. This isn’t fun. I just want to click it and it works, which is apparently still too much to ask for after 20 years and 600 stupid distros later.
RTFM. GFY Linux. Learn how to write manuals first. Far as I can see, it’s a bunch of BS instructions that error out halfway through for some reason or another.

Linux@lemmy.ml•Disabling middle click paste by default makes sense for distros aimed at new users.English
2·4 months agoI’d be happier if they just fix whatever breaks click highlighting in the terminal. I hate that shit and I think it’s accidentally attempting to paste via Ctrl-V that does it so F my habitual ass.

I’m on Fedora and for me it is as simple as
sudo dnf upgrade --refresh -y, Come back in 5 minutes and manually restart.There is no babysitting required. You can see the realtime progress of the entire process if you want to. It does not need reboots to install other updates. The updates don’t refuse to install if you’ve removed Edge Browser or any other ‘necessary’ (BS) software.
