@Maiyannah If you do write !GNUsocial to #Pumpio code consider implementing it as a plugin. While both #OStatus and #Pump use #ActivityStreams, it's my understanding those implementations are not compatible. So, rather than rewriting much of the GNUsocial ActivityStreams code to shoehorn in the Pump ActivityStreams, it may be cleaner to implement it as a separate plugin. It'll make GNUsocial code changes easier to merge with !postActiv and might give vanilla GNUsocial instances a means to federate with Pumpio too
Impressive! It would have been interesting to see what the neural net was trained on. From the README.md: "From left to right, the first column is the 16x16 input image, the second one is what you would get from a standard bicubic interpolation, the third is the output generated by the neural net, and on the right is the ground truth." http://sn.jonkman.ca/attachment/32919
The OS runs a Desktop Notification Service which each application accesses independently. I think this is the specification for the Desktop Notification Service: http://www.galago-project.org/specs/notification/0.9/ Each application has its own allow/disallow setting for notifications, so even if you disallow your mail client to send notifications, your browser may still be allowed to send notifications. A browser may even have allow/disallow settings for individual web pages, such as in Opera. http://sn.jonkman.ca/attachment/32916
The system notifications can come from different sources. A "You've got mail" notification would be generated by the mail client, a "You've got virus" notification would be generated by the anti-virus software. But browser can now access the system notifications through #Javascript, so a webmail page can also send a "You've got mail" notification. And a malicious site can send "You've got virus, click to clean", which might actually launch the malware. I found the Mozilla specification at https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/notification
@jackmcbastard @maiyannah @indi It might be that this is the hook -- the warning message pops up from some Web site, and you're not actually infected until you click on the message
The wording on this is just "off" enough that I don't trust this popup message or the notification in the system tray. No technical writer proficient in English would write "There was a dangerous try to get an access to your computer..." and the notification message mentions "Windows Security Essential" when that is *always* used with the plural "Essentials". https://everybodys.freeball.in/file/e0ba95f1b4e520e813c3b8be72e7262e9ba12745313be8fab9166c8d3e3e7ef1.jpg !security
