Convenience is usually at odds with security.

That said, keyless access is amazing. Not having to dig out the car key is just so comfortable.

In case of Drakes… yeah, keep those in dreams.

But he has a lot of product to sell.

And companies will gobble it all up.

On an unrelated note, I will never own a new graphics card.

A lot of Redditors hate the Reddit IPO | Reddit warned us that its users were a risk factor, and boy do they sound excited about shorting its stock. (www.theverge.com)

A lot of Redditors hate the Reddit IPO | Reddit warned us that its users were a risk factor, and boy do they sound excited about shorting its stock.::Reddit seems like a likely candidate for a meme stock. But the actual reaction suggests that r/WallStreetBets isn’t going to send the stock to the moon.

And then listen to every asshole yell ‘but think of their retirements!!1!’ when the stock market shits itself.

Fuck this system. It’s original intent is way long gone, and we should stop pretending it’s helping anyone but the rich.

No, Linux is a kernel.

OS is a specific distribution, so like a Debian is the full fledged OS.

So just write your inventory inside the file, and bind the vending machine keys to it, and ignore 99% of the OS. The coin slot I would expect runs its own validations.

Or the environment collapses, whichever happens first.

No, that would not be dystopian enough.

I have switched from Fedora to Ubuntu to Gentoo, and I had almost no issues on any of them.

If you have issues with Windows you need to solve using CLI, might as well just learn to use Linux. It’s nowhere near as bad as people remember.

You missed the biggest flaw in all those arguments: “yet”.

None of that stuff is required… yet. It will. As soon as the subscription model catches on, it will be required.

Just look at: everywhere. How far did video streaming go from cable? Well, it’s not there… yet. But it’s going there.

Don’t think for a second this time will be different.

Right, like the other party cares about democracy.

Jesus Christ they’ve been gerrymandering everything they can, they ignore supreme courts orders to roll it back. They ban abortions, they try to go against people who travel to get it, they declare IVF emryos children… and that’s just the surface.

Just face it and be honest about it - there is no democracy. Majority of people are against Israel genociding Gaza. Democracy doesn’t care. Even the party of lEsSeR eViL does not give a flying fuck - DNC just says they can pick who gets to be nominated, since they are a private company.

Fuck all of that. Nobody cares about the majority of anything, except the capital. People have no value, not in the US.

But let’s worry about the optics of bipartisan support. What if the other party starts an insurrection???

msage ,

No, just… eat them.

It’s not like there’s any positive change waiting to happen from that thing. You can’t be tolerant of the intolerant. We joke a lot about Twixxer and how insecure Muxx is, but the truth remains - he is a real and direct threat to a lot of people.

Let’s not forget the beast behind the human behind the image.

Not even before birth. There is no push for helping pregnant people in any way, more the opposite.

AI hiring tools may be filtering out the best job applicants (www.bbc.com)

an AI resume screener had been trained on CVs of employees already at the firm, giving people extra marks if they listed "baseball" or "basketball" – hobbies that were linked to more successful staff, often men. Those who mentioned "softball" – typically women – were downgraded....

msage ,

Oh there is so much racist data that the AI is being trained on.

Your example is a simple one. But there are discriminations based on names for instance, so Johns are hired more than Quachin is, and that is by people, before it gets to the AI.

While I understand that you actually wanted to ask about a specific theory, it did not come out very well.

The neo-nazis are everywhere, getting more and more in the open, and it’s getting very scary for many people.

So I don’t question why they buried you with downvotes.

I wish there was an easy solution to this problem, and I worry a lot about what is to come.

msage ,

It’s just a touchy subject right now, and it helps explaining yourself as much as possible before going into theory.

Like

I absolutely disagree with fascism, and am not here to argue about it. What I do want is to ask about a specific theory when talking about the implications of the paradox, which I understand, but want to start a meta-conversation about the deeper philosophy

Or something like that

msage ,

I worry about the hard solution not being as straightforward as it used to be.

If the richest support the far right, it’s going to be one hell of a war.

Steam console (not deck specifically) predates any proton release (2015).

Valve has been trying to break from Microsoft for a very long time.

The Deck is the first successful one, but far from the first.

I played Dota 2 from its first beta release, and many years after. Eventually stopped about 2 years ago. In that time I put 4 digit sum into that game, and received nothing that would give me any gameplay advantage. I did it to support the game, that also worked on Linux.

I understand that MTX are not ideal, but there are very different approaches to them. And at least in Dota 2, I can and did support it.

Which is why christians are scared of them. It will open people’s eyes to how anyone can write a fairytale. And so much better ones, too.

How is the development of LXD?

I am a huge fan of LXC, but I hate random daemons running (so no Docker for me). I have been looking at the Linux Container website, and they mentioned Canonical taking LXD development under its wings, and something about no one else participating apart from Canonical devs.

So I’m kind of scared about the future of LXC and Incus. Do you have any more information about that?

msage ,

Excelent write-up, thank you very much. I’m going to invest my time to learning Incus!

Microsoft stole my Chrome tabs, and it wants yours, too (www.theverge.com)

Last week, I turned on my PC, installed a Windows update, and rebooted to find Microsoft Edge automatically open with the Chrome tabs I was working on before the update. I don’t use Microsoft Edge regularly, and I have Google Chrome set as my default browser. Bleary-eyed at 9AM, it took me a moment to realize that Microsoft...

That’s why I use Gentoo. I don’t read the code, even just Firefox is absolutely bonkers, but being able to flag out parts of code just feels nice. I know it’s not absolute, but -telemetry gives me a nice warm feeling inside.

I’m the outsider, I hate their UIs. Anytime I have to solve any issue on an Apple device, I want to give up.

At least Macs have terminal, but iPads are way out of my comfort zone

msage ,

I’m sorry, but nothing with Apple is intuitive to me, and I have no idea how people work with their hardware or software.

Car manufacturers are focusing on keeping the price low, and they used to focus a lot on safety, both inside and outside the car. So let us see where this one goes.

There are other countries with mandatory refunds.

But there’s millions of them.

Even if we don’t tolerate them, what should we do with them?

Yeah, let’s make Texas into a communist heaven!

We need more like them. A lot more.

Yes, and I’m imagining other countries suing and getting ye olde auzzie treatment, too.

Trump - 50 000 votes

Biden - 50 001 votes with you

or

Trump - 50 000 votes

Biden - 50 000 votes

3rd - 1 vote (you)

msage ,

It doesn’t matter whether you want to vote for him or not. Voting third just means you vote for the worst of the two main options.

I don’t live in the US, we have multi-party system, but it’s still first pass the post, so if I don’t vote for someone normal, my vote goes to void, and some fascists can get one step closer to the post.

If you want to dismantle the two party system, voting for anyone won’t do it.

Unless you like dictatorships and want to abolish voting. In which case, just vote Trump and be honest with yourself.

msage ,

I’m not going to pretend you are wrong - Biden’s attitude towards Israel is very genocidal indeed - but acting like they are both the same is utterly ridiculous.

Trump will dismantle the law. And support Russia and Israel. If the Project 2025 will happen, it won’t be funny anymore for anyone.

Once again, I’m not from the US, but we still feel the echoes of what happens in the US in our political climate. This will send the crazies to full overdrive globally.

Assassinating political opponents doesn’t sit well with people.

If you are so smart you also understand why historically such people are left alive - making martyrs from iconic people tends to fast-forward things.

In case you are a accelerationist, this would be ideal.

You are not a time traveler, you have no idea what would have happened. Neither do I.

I would love nothing more than have Trump locked up, the suits are being processed, and I hope at least one gets him convicted before the elections. Because fuck that guy and sycophants around him.

They are killing the mothers of the unborn, so dunno about that.
