Then I guess I'm completely wrong and don't deserve any points XD Somewhat annoyingly this puts me in a quandary, remove the incorrect top level post, thus the history in which the error was highlighted.

Let's be clear here. This is about enabling Lockdown when UEFI Secure Boot is enabled by default. So the concern is essentially that binary distributions, which are going to be responsible for kernel flags, may enable this, whether it

The reason we're seeing this blog post is quite clearly due to this statement from Linus: 'This discussion is over until you give an actual honest-to-goodness reason for why you tied the two features together. No more "Why no

I use gkrellm, and set the three memory krells option. The "usage" is memory actually used for application memory. The other krells mark how much cache and buffers are allocated. htop does something similar, green is application u

Good luck getting someone who is unfamiliar with those to spell it out from sound alone. Though with the prevalence of text communication (not seen at the time) this is less of a problem than when this was written.

MBPs have gotten worse with linux compatibility over the past few years. It usually takes at least a year to even get usable. It's just not worth getting a Mac to run linux. Mac has successfully made sure that macs are only for MacOS.

I am reminded of the issue of the local maximum. Pretty much sounds like the "collapse", which as you say is never complete, is the action required to get out of a convergent state of society/being

If you're worried infill will cause cultural degradation, then perhaps your culture is not well suited to centralisation. That is, not suited to city living. Why else use Tokyo as an example of the success of infill? Japan is famous fo

The term for that is NIMBY. Frankly, this is not news. The fact it has such an acronym means it is well established.

Not truly fake, then again, a lot of propaganda is also based on an element of truth. Is there any meaningful distinction between propaganda and fake news?

Gamers Nexus did a good video. Long story short, looks like an investment propaganda attempt to try and get a profit out of shorting AMD stock. Whether this is a cover for anything else is getting deep into conspiracy. Edit: Not truly fake

I like this part on the end > App Store terms and conditions forbid distribution of Free Software that grants users freedom to use the program any way they want. You're not allowed to distribute this software with DRM applied to it.

Looks like yet another fad. Everyone already knows we should eat better, and everyone knows that it has positive impacts on our energy levels, mental capacity and so on. That they're attempting to couple it with mental health in a more

Ignoring any concerns regarding national security and ignoring that this is related to Drumpf, I'm pleased that we aren't going to have a second chipzilla.

As much as I don't like to malign modes of transportation which are environmentally friendly, cases like this are exactly why regulation is introduced. Once you get large numbers of people getting away with borderline criminal behaviou

People use guns to kill people. Sure. This would be a valid argument if the US didn't have a gun culture as well as guns.

Actually, as has been pointed out many times around the internet, the vaccuum problem is not as simple as described. The biggest problem I've seen is that of thermal stabilisation to prevent metal expansion and contraction. That makes

Here in Australia, Superannuation (essentially 401k) is compulsory and the process to get the money out before you retire is quite arduous. It is contributed by your employer and often isn't included in the advertised income. The compu

I wonder if enabling referrer trimming by default on common browsers would force people willing to use tracking to reconsider their practices. Like everything (it seems) it is always a game of cat and mouse, and the best way to make it hard

Yet another reason blocking ads is a must. But not just blocking ads, trackers as well. I use uMatrix and uBlock origin. Unfortunately this does nothing to deal with the aforementioned redirect chain. I suppose maybe this means it is time t

Taking care of yourself and those around you is basically the definition of tribal thinking. It is that which leads to being unable to address wider scale problems which involve everyone.

I was driving at a similar point, but I think this might be a % of available slack in lifespan, which does not discount physical inevitability.

This raises an interesting point. Having said that losing experienced members is particularly painful, I am now thinking about how someone's feeling of meaning in life affects lifespan. Could it perhaps be the case that there is a self

Somewhat suprisingly, youtube is not too bad. I've used elinks to get a URL and then put that into youtube-dl. I suspect that any site that is designed to be friendly to a (vision impaired) screen reader is going to be friendly to text

Torn between calling this the bias of branding political opponents as being voted for by incompetents, and the generic need to understand as much as we can.

It isn't even like solar is the major renewable tech either. Wind, by far, has greater investment and (peak) power output.

It's kinda frustrating that reverse engineering in the physical space is not protected (as evidenced here), but stuff like the DMCA tends to do a lot more for protecting software. Seems ridiculous to me. Perhaps this is why these guys

That's a teardown that a mechanic can use, this is about a teardown an engineer (or engineering team) can use.

The headline is enough to determine the reason this article exists. It's just denial that common people will suffer. They're just reassuring themselves that some minor changes will make sure big time investors and managers aren&#x
