If your distro is configured to assume everything under sbin requires elevated privileges, then I wager that would minimise the attack surface (I'm assuming sbin is treated as superuser owned binaries, not just as static binaries). Loo

I've worked on one last year. A JS developer was surprised at how fast everything was.

Yes, they'll most likely be private islands. Honestly, it won't be too bad now that I think about it.

Completely agree.

We should learn from the xz incident. It's little things like these that make compromise harder. Not saying the fact that sbin exists did anything, but that more layers of armor is always better.

It's less about seeing and more about feeling when typing fast.

You're assuming every artist lives in a first world country. The problem seems a lot more severe under a more general lens.

Execs are as subjugated by the times as the rest of us are, they surely pass part of that burden, but only part. They are still affected all the same. It's great to have a scapegoat for all manner of issues as AI has been categorised a

A good thing about emojis is that they'll be read correctly. Huge win for accessibility, they are.

Huge thanks for the effort! An advice to anyone out there making software: give a screen reader a whirl! Take it as a learning experience!

Have you tried zram for instance? There are a lot of things one can do to better utilise RAM on Linux. I believe Fedora comes ootb with a lot of things to make ram management quite good. Using another distro these days, but Fedora impressed

CSS is actual programming. Nevertheless, he was just stating a common case where one iteratively checks if their assumptions, even if carefully accounted for, conform to their expectations. Another, very real "programming" situati

I think you're confusing prediction with ratiocination. I'm sure you've deducted hypothesis' based solely on the assertion that "contradiction and being are incompatible". Note, there wasn't prediction inv

What's wrong with AR glasses in a form factor akin to actual prescription glasses? It seems from my perspective a cool way to augment our perception about the world, not to diminish it.

You can sandbox native apps too. Hell, even run them in an airgapped virtual machine. I wouldn't trust a browser sandbox all that much given the high interest in subverting it.

This is why the Tor Browser attempts its best to only have one fingerprint. The more people use it, the more this argument looses its edge. Or so they say.

Did people want lower latencies though? It seems a bit absurd given other compounding factors that have a play on that.

Still, parent does state a pretty big concern when looking at this from a higher vantage point. These practices and their repercussions aren't self contained.

by spookie 3y ago
These predatory practices are getting out of hand. Props for them to expose this, even though they're the "bad actors" from my point of view.

You aren't always defined by your ancestry. My parents had to emigrate to more human respecting lands, and they still feel they're more part of that land than the one they were born in.

The move of the top bar to the bottom makes a lot of sense! I personally use KDE with the taskbar on the left, as it allows for greater vertical screen real estate. Also changed the workspaces keybindings to the same ones as Gnome, which ar

by spookie 3y ago
Yeah, it does make sense. That's also the reason for the close button or start menu to be at a corner, at least on Windows derivatives. Of course, this clashes with the menubar placement on Mac, if they were placed the same way.

by spookie 3y ago
This is mitigated via workspaces. Not sure how Win/Mac does it, but that's how I work on Linux desktops.

Yup, just the fact that topology is often rather poor, you're making it impossible to translate motion capture data for a lot of things. Facial expressions come to mind. I understand the reasons for different representations for recons

The other day I tried to compile a really old program, the Power Crust and its predecessor. It just worked, for some reason I was expecting it not to. I didn't even have the filetype it was supposed to accept, but it was fine, it was j
