Link to article mentioning suicide, sextortion
This is so freaking sad. The criminals behind this are reprehensible—but the buck doesn’t stop there. It is the responsibility of social media platforms to work to prevent these schemes from succeeding and spreading on their watch.

 Excuse me, Sam Reich, CEO of Dropout, is posting on Mastodon with *nicely captioned alt-text!* If you don't already subscribe to Dropout, you really should. It’s like if American comedy was actually funny; a spiritual successor to Whose Line Is It Anyway in many ways, but also leaning into all the nerdiness and queerness of theater kids, D&D players, and comic book geeks. Truly smart and hysterical humor that lifts people up while never punching down. I really like Dropout. 🥰 View quoted note →
It’s really tiring hearing the, “open source is bad for security!” argument whenever it pops up, but especially in domains that *have a lot of work to be done* when it comes to adopting open source, like LLMs and AI models. Being MORE open is not the problem here. Opening up the weights and releasing under open licenses does not suddenly create security vulnerabilities, unless you believe solely in security through obscurity—which, I’m sorry, the tech industry has moved on from for the better.
Google Docs has a handy “Copy as Markdown” feature where you can paste rich text and then copy it out as (at least mostly reasonably-formatted) markdown. This is handy for quick and dirty conversion of a web page’s content, e.g. to quote in a blog post. Is there some native app on Flathub I can use to do something similar? The perfect scenario would be just pasting rich text into a text field and it immediately converts it and spits out the Markdown into the text box. #Linux #Flatpak #Flathub
