Pandemic denialism (and let's not pretend it's "minimizing" lol) seems to exist at a much deeper level than any kind of bias I've ever seen.
People who pride themselves on breaking bias and doing research to make decisions just...aren't interested in SARS-CoV-2 research. Literally any other subject and they're hardcore. But the pandemic? "Wheeeeeeee! These waffles are GUD."
There's something about "I'm disabling myself and can't stop" that just buries shit too deep to reach.
Aeroflot, Russia's flag carrier, has suffered a cyberattack that resulted in the cancellation of more than 60 flights and severe delays on additional flights.

Sometimes my Wacom tablet behaves strangely. Pen clicks can activate windows and bring them to the foreground, but do not cause a "click" to be delivered to buttons and text areas.
Forcefully unloading and reloading the Wacom driver sometimes helps.
But on days like today, "init 3" followed by "init 5" is necessary to make things work again.
Is this a Ubuntu problem? Do Wacom tablets work well with other Linux distros? Unfortunately, Wacom tablets are expensive enough that not many people have them.

Today I used Gemini for the first time. It popped up in a workspace account I am sunsetting, so I asked it:
"I am trying to sunset this email account, but I am concerned about being locked out of seldom-used online accounts that use this email address as an account registration. To help me transfer those to a new email, tell me all the emails I have received in the past 24 months that contain account confirmation, one-time password codes, or other email-address-based authentication messages, then make me a list of the senders and their URL, so that I can address this.”
After it failed spectacularly (it found four; no, one; no six, accounts that qualified) I gave it a new prompt:
Disregard "account confirmation: "one-time password codes" etc, and make the search about identifying online accounts that are registered to this address. Before you begin, ask me any clarifying questions you might have so that you can help me more effectively.”
It asked, “To help me understand what you mean by "online accounts registered to this address" and to ma

It asked, “To help me understand what you mean by "online accounts registered to this address" and to make sure I'm searching for the right kind of emails, could you clarify a few things? What types of emails would you expect to receive from organizations where you have an online account? For example, are you looking for emails about: Account activity or notifications? Promotions or newsletters? Order confirmations or shipping updates? Security alerts or password resets? Terms of service updates? Knowing the types of emails you're looking for will help me refine my search terms and provide you with a more relevant list of senders and their URLs. "
So I answered.
It found four. One of them was Google.
Total time: 24 minutes. Well, I mean, let’s be fair — it is Google. Why would I expect them@to understand stuff about email amirite?
Golly! Now I understand why CEOs are so eager to use these magical tools!
Una consulta a la comunidad de Mastodon, a ver si son tan amables y conocedores del tema como para darme una recomendación.
Estoy interesado en instalar en Android algunas apps que lo permitan desde el correspondiente archivo apk. La cuestión es que puede darse el caso de que no encuentre el archivo en la web del proyecto o de la app,
He visto que existen algunas webs como PureAPK o APKMirror. ¿Alguien me podría dar su opinión sobre este tipo de webs o quizás recomendarme alguna web de fiar para descargar instaladores de tipo APK?
Yo uso #FDroid para todo menos alguna app no libre que, por circunstancias X, he decidido instalar. Para ello uso Aurora Store, que es una app libre en F-Droid, que es a su vez una "tienda" que se conecta a Google Play y permite descargar y actualizar aplicaciones de allí. Permite hacerlo sin cuenta (anónimamente), aunque eso a veces me ha dado problemas (supongo que algún _rate limiter_ o algo). Siempre puedes crear una cuenta nueva en Google para ello, si realmente lo necesitas. #AuroraStore
No lo recomiendo a no ser como último recurso. Y SIEMPRE, pasa el apk que descargues por virustotal para asegurarte de que no empaqueta virus, aunque no es 100% seguro.
@moribundo De ahí vienen mis dudas. Evidentemente, instalar una apk es un acto de responsabilidad, y normalmente se debería hacer desde la web del desarrollador o del proyecto, siempre que sean de fiar, criterio que no es 100% efectivo. Mi consulta viene por si había alguna web que tuviese buena reputación para la descarga de apks. Muchas gracias.
F-droid para instalar aplicaciones de software libre. Y desde fdroid te puedes instalar Aurora, que es una interfaz gráfica de la tienda de Google mas "anonimizada" ya que no requiere cuenta de Google. De ahí te puedes instalar la mayoría de aplicaciones de la tienda de Google, a excepción de una que otra aplicación que te exige que uses si o si la play store, pero por fortuna esas son pocas y además el riesgo a nivel de seguridad de las aplicaciones sería exactamente el mismo que instalarlo de la play store. Además la tienda de Aurora te muestra los "rastreadores" que tiene cada aplicación.
En mi caso personal intento instalar casi todo de la tienda de fdroid y las apps propietarias que sean obligatorias uso la tienda de Aurora.
