Very positive article, thank you! I wish I had similar experience!

Ok, ok, I see people downvoting this, so I'm correcting myself:

for g in * do wget --recursive "g"; done;

"3 L - TWO-LITER BOTTLE"

Um, okay...

for g in * do wget g; done;

"0 points". Told you. Unpleasant truth.

Same here.

I can't forget reading declassified case of testing drugs (probably LSD) on unsuspecting people in a motel and surveying them. One particular detail that stuck in my head was the pleasure some agents were getting out of this "test" (documented by other, more adequate agent).

It's rather just "by design".

I never dug into D-Bus deeply enough, but as a user, for me it caused one big problem: press PrintScreen for > 1 second, have Spectacle hang itself and take dbus with it, making the whole OS inoperable. Reboot Linux, notice post downvoted by linux fanboys.

Edit: I'm a linux user, but I don't idolize it.

I agree, but you have put it in opposite order in your first statement so I had to ask for clarification :)

so... which one is night and which is day? and which one is better? :)

Guys, while KDE is undoubtedly best thing happened to Linux, for me the development... or overall problem of developing software for Linux it he Linux itself: lack of registry, COM, permissions, interoperability. I understand how hard is it to plan and do all these things. But... but.

For example, AFAIR, Kate was integrated as text editor into KDevelop (which I painfully used as main IDE in linux), but it created unbelievable mess in settings - some of them didn't change, others changed things globally for KATE, some worked for KDev. Menus didn't stack up... But still, I really appreciate all the work was done by kdevs! One other IDE I would consider is Code::Blocks, but wx is not entirely good with Qt as backend yet.

Most cloned software player ever. Because it's the best.

2/3 cables with > 4dB drop!? You kidding me?? It's a sabotage!

I didn't say a complete outsider could use and be proficient with any of these. I was fairly good with 3D overall to begin with.

Actually, I had to repeat the experiment 2 days ago - after not using 3DS for decade. It's almost like a new program. But better. It took me 10 minutes to import a model, take it apart, do basic operations and try to optimize it (unsuccessfully). With no help, no internet, in a hurry and half-asleep. It's just logical. Anyway, the "Getting started" button is right there.

Blender is just freaking scary. But I'm giving it a try once a decade. :)

I started to get suspicious after the "horizontal axis title" )

I don't think it's the issue here. Products like PS, 3DS MAX are VERY intuitive to learn and use "right now because I need to get this done ASAP". Try Blender - you'll feel like on some alien spaceship.

Amen to that.

Are any Krita devs here? I was very eager to replace PS with Krita, but I met a strong obstacle - it doesn't support PSD vectors (paths). This is catastrophic problem for me as 90% of my work contain paths. I was sure it was there, but when I brought my PSD I worked all night on to the linux user to make final tweaks, nothing worked. I was shocked. :( Are there plans to implement this?

Good? It was never intended to do so. )

Also, made me remember (once again) decade old presentation on TPM: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XgFbqSYdNK4

Any key strength limitation is mandated by... certain forces. This is not a secret (anymore). "If anything in consumer tech can be weakened, make sure it is".

A life savior program for literally broken devices. I wish I knew earlier!

Google Play doesn't really guarantee safety. It can promise though :)

> There are many less inhumane ways of treating clients than CF does.

>> This isn't true, though.

What??

Also, you are probably missing my point: it's not like sites don't need protection, it's the unfriendliness of how CF implements it.

That's what chemtrails are. (I don't really know if it's a joke)

Unfortunately, same here. I too seen this a lot. I wish I could donate to EFF though. )

I have to emphasize here that I don't mean to throw away DDNS/multi-gateway protection, just criticizing the user interaction.

Why not just "enter grainy distorted 123 + 456"? No JS, no tracking. It takes literally milliseconds to generate and present. I've seen this work on large scale. Why is it mandatory to run tons of JS anyway?

It may be profitable to use CAPTCHA for AI training, but that's not only annoying, it's also unethical because one (like me) may be unwilling to engage in such activity. Also, CAPTCHAs involving houses, number plates or bikes are absolutely invading someone's privacy.

Owners of websites (e.g. shops) themselves have more options to show captchas only in critical moments: when performing heavy searches, registering, checking out, posting. Again, it doesn't have to be intrusive or disruptive. But I understand this way takes more professional approach and probably requires programming, which is not what _every_ store owner can probably afford.

Absolutely. And also its own users. E.g. my gmail account is "locked". Even though i know the password. And a secret answer. And everything else. G just doesn't let me. Because I switched jobs and don't have previous IP address anymore.

It's not a matter of "why" it's a matter of "how". Cloudflare could have done way less intrusive and nerve-wrecking DDoS protection. But no, they had to make people suffer.

Also, I'm using Falkon browser every day - ever heard of that? I have to switch user agent to be allowed in some places which is ridiculous.

And what if I have to use 3 browsers and don't want to set up accounts or give up privacy?
