Not the OP but I think they mean those little phone booth pods. For if you want to join a call but you're the only one from that office so taking up a meeting room makes no sense. In our place they're tiny and stuffy (probably to

Oof my employer still lets us WFH 3 days. We actually signed a new contract for it just after the pandemic. They can't have everyone in the office anyway since they closed half the floors. If they mandate this (not sure where they&#x27

Yes but even for a web service the attack surface is pretty big. Lots of obscure URLs and the code isn't that clean either.
274.
by wkat4242 11mo ago
Same here, though you do still have to expose it to the internet unless you use a VPN. I'd prefer something with less of an attack service especially because bridges don't currently encrypt, but I host behind vpn now.

The GDPR is being neutered anyway because the EU caved in to Trump. Not being chatcontrol compliant? That's a feature not a bug. Nobody wants that anyway. Just another stupid US lobby (Thorn). A big organisation won't be able to r

That is exactly what happens in WhatsApp though. Maybe the message isn't there anymore but it used to say pretty much exactly that.

I had to laugh at the progress in gnu hurd. I've been hearing that one since the 90s

Actually pkg install kde is exactly what you should do. Just not in capitals. But in FreeBSD 15 it will be part of the installer. However even an installer is too much to ask of today's mainstream users. I don't want freebsd to be

I need to tinker less because there's no distro maintainers that constantly change stuff. It did take a while to set it up but then it runs fine. I don't view my OS as a hobby, but I do want to have full control over it and to be

I love KDE. Especially because it gives me agency. I'm not stuck with the choices the developers made like with gnome that's super opinionated. And I find things easy to find and confuse. It's probably not for a grandma but I

The why is simply: because nobody wants it enough to build it. Otherwise it would exist.

Yeah if Sun had continued to exist, what wonderful things would we have now! But Oracle destroys everything it touches.

> I wish FreeBSD held the position Linux does in the market today. That would be heaven. I don't. That would break everything I love about it. If it was as big as Linux there would be a lot of corpo suits influence, constant changes

by wkat4242 11mo ago
For me it's all the changes in Linux. Every time I upgrade they change stuff that worked fine for me. Another issue is many distros pushing their "invented here" stuff like canonical and redhat. And the huge amount of corpora

I like BSD especially because it lacks systemd :)

> Aditionally, those releases do not only contain FreeBSD changes but also changes to all third party open source packages that are part of the distribution No they don't. Only major releases so, which are once every 2 years or so.

No I think we need to do more, not nothing. This was an interesting step to highlight the problem. I think Twitter is beyond help though. It's just another gab now. But it would be interesting for other socials.

To be honest there are some countries I'd love to be able to block myself. There's only criminal shit coming from them. All the scams, hacks, the "hello sir I'm calling from Microsoft" or the "We are looking fo

Yup. It's a temporary thing, now all the scammers will just jump to vpn. Or botnets to get residential IPs

I wasn't on IRC much in those days but yeah IRC was a subculture that wasn't great. A lot of people messing around with scripts too to harass people. Agreed. I was thinking more about Usenet which was very helpful in my experience

Back then people online weren't really sexist or racist. They were really nice and helpful people. No extreme right. The internet was a really friendly place. Although back then it was also kinda taboo so they were usually banned every

The internet was one hell of a lot better place to be back then, just saying. Though it's commerce that really broke it.

Yeah the cool thing about the shuttle is that it also was a mini space station. Astronauts could actually live in it for a while. Which came in handy building the ISS I'm sure. Robotics weren't what they are now so it was a lot of

That's one capability that was lost with the space shuttle. There's nothing remaining nor planned that can bring something that size back from LEO. I feel like materials science could learn a lot more about radiation embrittlement

I said 'most' :) and it goes for most of the mainstream distros. I wouldn't consider nix that, due to the complex configuration. As a corporate admin I do like declarative management at work but for home no. Even though FreeB

Yeah I noticed that. The characters are also super one-dimensional, constantly repeating the same expressions. I think it's because people don't have the same attention span anymore. But it's just really terrible. Stuff like
