Well, in reality... This is the kind of shenanigan that happens when you use an OS where the widespread norm is to run highly privileged executables with full access to your home (and desktop) dirs in order to install software. Or really us

Let me be more clear for anyone else stumbling upon this: if you sit and make a statement implying that every man is susceptible to blackmail via abusing children... do I really have to explain how you're telling on yourself here? Do y

That's not what I said, and I think it's a bit disingenuous. Across the country, attacks on critical infrastructure are increasing. Attacks that are described and taught in literature that we KNOW FOR A FACT is circulated among c

Yall keep telling on yourselves in the silliest ways. Actively amusing.

It's really something to watch people struggle to shrug off the cognitive dissonance and just... realize some things that some others have been preaching for a while, that's all I'll say. Maybe 2022's unexpected doses of

And let's ask ourselves what exactly prompts folks to need to comment their disdain for only certain types of articles and not the countless dozens of others they filter through regularly. We'll never know!

I'm very curious, from a high-level, but technical level, how differently ReactOS and Wine are. And/or how much they share. As someone who keeps playing Halo Infinite at 120FPS via Proton on a Zephyrus G14 running NixOS, I'm

I keep trying to give a discount for this, in some sense, but it's hard as time marches on and I've seen some of those deep improvements, while also seeing UX left on the table. Don't get me wrong, afaict, Firefox will get

I'm lazy, so I keep linking this screenshot. This is why I don't / can't leave Firefox: https://i.imgur.com/81OpEOy.png I have so, so many tabs open. And when I need, I can reorganize in a tree structure

Every time I try to use cool Firefox features and extensions to manage privacy, I wind up frustrated and lost in thought about just how good Firefox could be, if someone with vision and benevolent dictator status took charge. 1. Unify all

Don't AMD GPUs still have firmware blobs, they just happen to submit them to upstream linux-firmware?

Leveraging XMPP to deliver notifications for Matrix feels like an odd matchup. Or is that just because Synapse + FluffyChat support UnifiedPush and the use of XMPP is purely coincidental/incidental? (Trying to wrap my head around the a

Seriously, please stop. Please (explicative) ffs stop. Nothing makes me less impressed thana 45mb gif loading on some npm project readme. Just... use the video file for a video. Amazingly it will work better.

"Random shell script is more readable than terraform". Yeah, no. Not if you mean bash, and certainly frickin not if theres a modicum of reliability/retries/recreaet logic in them. I dont think you have a good view of the

On the one hand, fair, I hadn't considered that eventuality. Still, I can't imagine a scenario where, "I need to be able to guard against [cloud provider] blobs being left unencrypted for the long-term" that doesn't

That's... interesting. I wonder if it's a hustle. Buy a Chrome extension, sell "YT views", use unsuspecting victims to siphon their YT cookie and rack up fake views. Maybe?

Great feedback, I'm just gonna throw a "gtk-layer-shell" on top of the burning pile. I just don't care though, I've resisted the GNOME-ire until recently (hoping it was "just" drama and would blow over or

uBlock Origin, Tree Style Tabs, Sponsorblock, Auto Tab Discard, the rest I can live without. (not an extension: userChrome.css to remove tab bar) (preview of Tree Style Tabs + userChrome = https://i.imgur.com/81OpEOy.png )

Yeah, even just a(n automatic) "[pdf]" in these submission titles would help. Or the site could just not force download since most browsers can natively read PDFs, etc.

Why is the person in this thread talking about keeping GPG keys on a Yubikey and yet the words "Ledger" and "Trezor" don't seem to appear earlier, or later, in the same thread? I guess maybe it's hard to talk a

Oh look, another Linux thread. It's a fucking cliche, sure enough the top N comments bagging on Linux are handwavey citing "tried a main distro years ago" which usually means "Six years ago, I tried an Ubuntu USB stick t

This all stinks. Between the bio, the vague tweets about server hacks (implying Intel ME or a physical server compromise is at fault, really?), the vague tweets about this situation... Something fishy is going on or wow, really proof that

Yeah, some of this just feels like advice some folks are going to have to learn first-hand, the hard, raw way. "Don't fall for parasocial bs touted on social media" is the new "make backups, seriously!111".

I'm a huge fan of Matrix and the idea of UnifiedPush, but I don't quite grok what this means (and I'm reluctant to fire up my Matrix client because I'm avoiding some things). Is there any chance you can elaborate on what
