Maybe he knew none of the information could harm him if someone got hold of it?

Yeah I mean you’re still people with emotional processes who understand social queues. Not like you’re robots who can’t process these things.

Well no because some people early in their transition cycle might have their gender confused by someone who doesn’t know, whereas no one can accidentally go “oh shit sorry I didn’t know you were black?”.

As long as the person is polite and apologetic without being patronising I think it’s okay.

@mac@infosec.pub avatar

Or saying the correct pronoun in a patronising way.

Fair point

Energy shouldn’t be a business, it’s a necessity at this point.

That’s a pretty good idea actually

mac ,
@mac@infosec.pub avatar

Yeah I read a theory like that, something along the lines of you could not actually have existed until .3s ago but you were created with all of your current memories and experiences

Sometimes you need to explicitly state a zero and a blank space could be misconstrued.

I feel like UFO would make more sense for laptop due to it being portable, but I get it is because the desktop is Alienware

@mac@infosec.pub avatar

Nah desktop mothership, server star command and laptop UFO.

Windows: Ad Ridden

macOS: Not Enough Freedom Apparently

Linux: Community Arguments

Every OS has issues.

If they switched over to this method instead of the current I would argue an adblocker wouldn’t even improve the experience, the problem is that it interrupts my actual content in the middle of the video.

I’ve not really used it except for the SLS because it’s streamed exclusively there. No major issues except one time long videos (sls streams can last 6 hours) would take a lifetime to load.

Then you slowly follow the shoes up the uncannily thin and tall figure to be greeted with a sharp toothed smile, attached to the face of a tight skinned yet aged man “helllooo, pity about the loss of another” he states.

Looks like the GitHub android app .

Mint is just green Ubuntu.

I liked the feel of Pop_OS!, the setup and configuration are great, but damned it was unappealing looks wise for me.

mac ,
@mac@infosec.pub avatar

Yeah I feel like that just defeats the purpose of it though, in that case just install Debian.

Yeah I am interested in Cosmic DE.

As a Linux user who moved to Mac, it’s not even remotely dumb.

@mac@infosec.pub avatar

Use Opencore. Apple stopping support for older devices makes logical sense, technology progresses, maintaining legacy devices can become tedious and leaves the team with less time to focus on their current devices and versions.

Opencore allows you to update to the latest version of macOS even if not supported. However be aware that it isn’t Apple certified but an open source project so your mileage may vary.

For your final point the Mac’s I have used have been incredibly capable machines that I’ve been able to configure endlessly and run a large variety of languages and tools without many issues. They have sane defaults, are configurable, powerful and they run smoothly.

Perhaps rather than saying it’s stupid, you can just say “it’s not for me” as I stated I’ve been a long term Linux user, installing everything from Arch to Void, I even did a brief stint using LFS, I enjoy Linux however I prefer macOS, but I don’t go around saying I hate Linux because I don’t there is nothing wrong with it, i just prefer the way macOS works and that is a preference.

Likely macOS is just not the correct choice for you.

mac ,
@mac@infosec.pub avatar

I think Arch is a good distro to learn for new users who are interested in tech, it gives an amazing example of good documentation and teaches you a lot about how UNIX-Like filesystems work.

That being said for non-technical users with zero interest, my main recommendations are Mint if you are coming from or prefer Windows and Elementary if you’re coming from or prefer Mac.

mac ,
@mac@infosec.pub avatar

I recommend not using the installer if you want to learn how Linux works well.

mac ,
@mac@infosec.pub avatar

Why Chromebook?

mac ,
@mac@infosec.pub avatar

So many options for comfy shoes, why choose those.

mac ,
@mac@infosec.pub avatar

I just wear skate shoes and walking boots all year round. The extra 5 seconds to put them on is fine, I don’t need to save 5 seconds with a pair of slip ones just to take the trash out, I just relax and make a journey out of it.

Plus I find any shoes that aren’t attached to the feet I guess, things like flip flops and crocs where your feet kinda just sit in them, wildly uncomfortable.

mac ,
@mac@infosec.pub avatar

At a summer cabin the weather and location should be good enough that feeling your feet on the warm pavement or grass should outweigh the convenience of shoes. Or just leave the shoes on if you know you’ll be in and out for a while.

mac ,
@mac@infosec.pub avatar

Hey man if you like them, as I said somewhere else I don’t like shoes that aren’t attached to my feet, they make me really uncomfortable.

mac ,
@mac@infosec.pub avatar

So you’re telling me you’ve never seen a cabin that has a stretch of pavement outside it? Even if just for cars to drive up?

Dude you’re feet will not get that dirty from some grass.

mac ,
@mac@infosec.pub avatar

You were quick on that edit

If they want to do this kind of thing they should always least either leave them to be played whenever but offer some kind of double xp or whatever while the event is actually on, or run the event as an annual thing so you can experience it every year and you don’t feel like you’re missing out because you didn’t get the game at release for whatever reason

mac ,

I thought it was poking fun at the tutorial saying instead of learning to code, import a library from someone who knows how to code.

Pretty much this, it’s the one use case for copilot, I know what I want to type anyway and copilot is usually close enough that 2 edits is faster than typing the whole thing and better for rsi.

mac ,
@mac@infosec.pub avatar

I find the opposite, chatgpt (free version at least) gives all the explanation and stuff then a code block, copilot (not Microsoft the GitHub one) just prints the boilerplate directly in the editor then you press tab to accept.

mac , (edited )
@mac@infosec.pub avatar

Yeah it’s definitely a lot quicker than searching through 15 articles and stack overflow posts sometimes. Except for with regex and the sed command, the bastard thing kept messing that up

mac ,
@mac@infosec.pub avatar

Electron apps are great for one thing, quick releases. Other than that there is far too much that can go wrong and you end up with an incredibly resource (mostly memory) intensive application.

In comparison the native solutions I’ve seen run on about 20-200mb instead of 600+

@mac@infosec.pub avatar

Nuh uh this one has a new picture on it

Been thinking about getting an ergonomic split board, I’d prefer wireless. Any recommendations?

mac ,
@mac@infosec.pub avatar

Ah I was hoping for a split board. Thanks for the suggestions though I was looking at the corner and the chocify before.

The doctor prescribed “getting good”

The issue with an extension ls is it requires an install, getting everyone to install one extension is a hard task.

mac ,
@mac@infosec.pub avatar

Yeah however for mass adoption this is a terrible idea, there is already the extra step to choose an instance versus a regular social media that is just one link and one button.

I know for people like you and I choosing an instance isn’t that big of a deal, nor is an extra extension (though i try to use as few as possible) but for a regular user it might cause issues.

mac ,
@mac@infosec.pub avatar

Yeah an extension is no more trustworthy than the source providing it, network level adblock which you can monitor completely is probably the correct route

mac ,
@mac@infosec.pub avatar

Nah it’s androgynous.

c/unixsocks and c/unixporn seem to be rather trans dense populations as well.
