Are you a taxation-is-theft absolutist or is there a line somewhere?

Here's my slight defense of something like this, in theory. I have not read the text of the bill. If OSes build a standards-based way to query age of user that is logged-in, where non-admins are not allowed to adjust the age bucket, th

"Slippery slope" is a term like "conspiracy theory". Tarnished by overuse, often misapplied, but they absolutely exist.

There is still value in experts distilling knowledge and crafting it to the audience. I'm a consultant in cybersecurity and someone asked me "give me a best practice framework for good policy hygiene". I'm sure an LLM co

Why people oppose datacenters: Philosophical opposition to AI's impact on society. Resource utilization: power and water. Pollution: natural gas turbines on site and broadly the pollution of power generation, and noise pollution. Subsi

To us, those hall conversations are normal parts of humanity that cut through organizational bullshit and build personal trust.

That's interesting a locally hosted LLM would be banned. I'm assuming locally hosted is included. Do they think it's been trained to sabotage equipment?

Thank you for explaining, since in the year-plus of using Arch that has never been shown in a tutorial or in the OS itself. "paru <package>" is all I've known, and the AUR wiki makes it sounds like 15 steps of compile f

Me. Who reads the source code of every program they run? I've learned not to trust the AUR because the barrier to malice is lower, but I run system updates every other day.

Several people at a LAN party in April were surprised I was running Linux. It runs everything you can imagine playing except a handful of games that rely on kernel anti-cheat by choice, like Fortnite. I have Windows on dual-boot in case I n

You're both missing the point, I think. You're missing that AI and the people who utilize it in secret will fool readers. Today, you cannot watch a video of something amazing, submitted by a stranger, and trust that it is real. Pe

I agree with 2 and 3. Tipping should not be a mandatory part of someone making a living. Regarding 1: How does society guarantee a worker gets sufficient compensation for their work, and receives enough money to live in the area where they

It certainly does inspire thoughtfulness, in fact, I think this is one of the most interesting philosophical posts in a long time. He doesn't attack DHH with insults, but discusses frameworks of thought and how legitimate differences i

I think the differences are several: * The opinion that systemd is bad is more controversial here than the opinion that Microsoft is an unethical company with intentionally invasive software. * There are Linux distributions that do not use

by unethical_ban 3mo ago
It's absolutely off-topic to moan about systemd on every post about Linux. If there was a complaint about how systemd complicated builds and tests in a specific way the commenter could name, that'd be valid. Just finger-wagging is

I didn't want to encourage non-standard behavior, but you are correct. Tunnels are a common use the same way /31s can be used in IPv4. Going smaller than /64 is against best practice and unnecessary. People coming from IPv4 n

True, I was thinking more about the allocation discussion than the "easy to remember". Anyone in IT who allocates 1.1.1.0/24 because 192.168.0.0/24 is hard, should be allocated to trash pickup.

No network is "smaller" than /64. All end-networks are /64. Split subnets at four bit chunks. Allocated networks, like to a home or small office, should be /56 or /60. Then you have to think about link-local ad

Take a step back and realize what they're saying. * Monitor your health and track your time to help stay focused. * Disable as many spurious notification types on your phone as you can afford to do. My recommendation: All notifications

Respectfully I don't think they explained it well. fc00::/7 is for "Unique Local Addresses". Basically, private, non-globally-routable addresses from which you can freely pick space. Kind of like RFC1918. It's delib

Do you think they thought they wouldn't get caught?

Or turn your phone off while transiting airports. Not a catch-all solution in life, but considering the extra-lack of rights we have there, it makes sense. No need for them if you write down your confirmation number before arriving for depa

Reading the descriptions of their work makes me think of magic. It's an understanding of the principles of math and physics at a level above almost everyone on the planet - these are modern wizards.

Seeing how the US GOP has intentionally sabotaged the USPS with fiscal responsibility burdens unlike any other agency, then declare it fiscally untenable and in need of privatization: yes, I completely believe it possible conservatives will

Moderation exists. That's not novel. Do you think it shouldn't?

Look how much you need to attack it. All of you. Can't let go because your coping mechanism for reality or your conservative TV host made you feel superior for thinking it. Otherwise I can't imagine what makes a person care so muc

It's been saddening seeing people who think they're clever and have it all figured out getting wrapped around the axle about Odyssey for the absolutely most foolish reasons. You act like the casting decision is the downfall of soc
