If billionaires are upset with bias in Wikipedia, why don't they just spend a billion dollars or so and commission their own encyclopedia?

To turn it off:

1. Go to Settings.
2. Open Apps.
3. Select an app, then go to Siri settings.
4. Disable "Learn From This App".

There's NO global toggle.

6 new CVEs in "rsync".

"In the most severe CVE, an attacker only requires anonymous read access to a rsync server, such as a public mirror, to execute arbitrary code on the machine the server is running on."

That would be CVE-2024-12084 (9.8) AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H, a heap-based buffer overflow in rsyncd.

If the working-class masses have no right to land, food, housing, education, healthcare, and the basic comforts that centuries of our labor created, then the capitalist class has no right to peace.
