Electronic Frontier Foundation<p>Last year saw the rise of a new phishing scam. Here’s what should you do if someone emails you a picture of your house and a threat to publish pictures of you looking at porn. (Don’t panic, don’t pay, it’s probably fake.) <a href="https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2024/09/new-email-scam-includes-pictures-your-house-dont-fall-it" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">eff.org/deeplinks/2024/09/new-</span><span class="invisible">email-scam-includes-pictures-your-house-dont-fall-it</span></a></p>

I left the educational groups meant for you. I unfollowed every page that appears before me displaying children's clothing and toys.

scy @ WHY2025 (7299)<p>Also note that while The Stack v1 contained code "from permissive licenses", v2 has extended this to "with permissive licenses or no license".</p><p>Yes, back when I was 16, I also thought that "no license" meant "no restrictions on what to do with it", but just to be clear: no, it means "you have no permission to do whatsoever".</p><p>Somebody please sue these guys into the ground?</p>
scy @ WHY2025 (7299)<p>The BigCode project (supported by Hugging Face) created an "AI" dataset with 67&nbsp;TB of code, a lot of it from GitHub users who did not agree to this. Some even claim that private repositories are included. 91 of my repositories are in it, many without an open-source license, but no private ones. They provide an opt-out link, but only for "future versions", and it simply creates an issue in a GitHub repo. 99.8&nbsp;% of them are still in "open" state, dating back to March 2023.</p><p><a href="https://huggingface.co/spaces/bigcode/in-the-stack" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">huggingface.co/spaces/bigcode/</span><span class="invisible">in-the-stack</span></a></p>
