Here's a rough translation to english using Whisper. I'm assuming "rock-climbers" should be "excavators":

[00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.000] Here they are, fortifications are being built all over the Kursk region.
[00:00:04.000 --> 00:00:06.000] The rock-climbers are working.
[00:00:06.000 --> 00:00:09.000] A huge, endless line of anti-tank weapons.
[00:00:09.000 --> 00:00:11.000] There, further, is the Ukrainian.
[00:00:11.000 --> 00:00:13.000] Well, more precisely, the enemy.
[00:00:13.000 --> 00:00:15.000] Because not only the Ukrainian.
[00:00:15.000 --> 00:00:17.000] Here.

I ran the audio through Whisper to translate it. I'd appreciate if someone who understands better could double check it, or explain the reference/saying about hares if they know:

[00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.000] Who says that you can't go abroad?
[00:00:04.000 --> 00:00:09.000] Guys, everyone is going to the army, they are letting us go abroad.
[00:00:09.000 --> 00:00:14.000] Two hares would have gone, but they didn't.
[00:00:14.000 --> 00:00:17.000] But everything is fine.
[00:00:17.000 --> 00:00:24.000] Here it is, here it is.
[00:00:27.000 --> 00:00:31.000] Not at the border, but in the sky.
[00:00:31.000 --> 00:00:35.000] That's it, guys, you are abroad.
[00:00:35.000 --> 00:00:38.000] No shit.
[00:00:38.000 --> 00:00:44.000] So if you want, go ahead.
[00:00:44.000 --> 00:00:48.000] - We don't ask for anything. - We don't ask for anything.
[00:00:48.000 --> 00:00:51.000] All the guys are happy.

Yeah, I saw a report that Mozilla published on this last year: https://foundation.mozilla.org/en/privacynotincluded/articles/its-official-cars-are-the-worst-product-category-we-have-ever-reviewed-for-privacy/

Either way, it's still good that some senators are getting involved and putting some pressure on them.

A fun Easter egg on Chromium browsers is that, when you get to 100 tabs, the number just turns into a smiley face.

In case anyone else is curious:

Why is Chrome taking action?

Certification Authorities (CAs) serve a privileged and trusted role on the Internet that underpin encrypted connections between browsers and websites. With this tremendous responsibility comes an expectation of adhering to reasonable and consensus-driven security and compliance expectations, including those defined by the CA/Browser TLS Baseline Requirements.

Over the past six years, we have observed a pattern of compliance failures, unmet improvement commitments, and the absence of tangible, measurable progress in response to publicly disclosed incident reports. When these factors are considered in aggregate and considered against the inherent risk each publicly-trusted CA poses to the Internet ecosystem, it is our opinion that Chrome’s continued trust in Entrust is no longer justified.

This is why I prefer it when people specify what kind of "AI" they're talking about rather than just saying "AI" as a buzzword. I definitely agree with Derbauer here... this is painful.

Great video, he breaks everything down really well...

I might have to start linking to this video rather than trying explain what AI is vs what AI isn't to those who like to make general statements like "AI is a scam!".

What @[email protected] seemed to be implying is that direct messages on Mastodon should be considered "public" rather than "private".

I'm assuming that's along the same lines of how Lemmy users generally think that their upvotes/downvotes are private when in reality, if you know how to look for them, you can see them.

Ah, I see. So it's the same mistake that Lemmy users make when thinking that Upvotes/Downvotes aren't public.

It sounds like DMs on Mastodon are public, but are commonly mistaken to be private then?

They're called DMs not PMs

? Did you mean that the other way around? And if you did... forgive me, I don't really use Mastodon. I was never much of a twitter fan. I don't really like how all of my likes are public (although I guess I have had to get used to that with Lemmy).

Hmmm it was even able to pull in private DMs.

Maybe private DMs on Mastadon aren't as private as everyone thinks... that, or the open nature of Activity Pub is leaking them somehow?

Edit - From the article:

Even more shocking is the revelation that somehow, even private DMs from Mastodon were mirrored on their public site and searchable. How this is even possible is beyond me, as DM’s are ostensibly only between two parties, and the message itself was sent from two hackers.town users.

From what @[email protected] mentioned below, it sounds like this shouldn't be very shocking at all.

Getting away from Google Maps has been a tough one. There aren't many options there, it's either Google, Apple, Microsoft, or OpenStreetMap.

I've been contributing to OSM for my local area as much as possible to update businesses and their opening hours, website, etc., but it's not a small task.
