Me and my buddies still use team speak. Anyone else?

That’s a perfectly fine usage of content (primary substance offered by a “website”)

Yea, should have finished reading. Remediation was to “ verify both the certificate and the signature of the downloaded installer. “

I mean for such a dev focused and extremely performant app, that’s disappointing.

Glad I’m off windows as of late

So they say at the provider level update traffic was redirected . Does this also mean their update endpoints didn’t do encryption?

systemd solved/improved a bunch of things for linux, but now the plan seems to be to replace package management with image based whole dist a/b swaps. and to have signed unified kernel images.

this basically will remove or significantly encumber user control over their system, such that any modification will make you loose your "signed" status and ... boom! goodbye accessing the internet without an id

pottering recently works for Microsoft, they want to turn linux into an appliance just like windows, no longer a general purpose os. the transition is still far from over on windows, but look at android and how the google play services dependency/choke-hold is

im sure ill get many down votes, but despite some hyperbole this is the trajectory

Just thinking out loud here, but even if it’s a performance anti pattern, xfce is a light weight de so you wouldn’t see it over all I guess.

To my eye most Linux de’s are much lighter or responsive than windows or Mac

How would these types of proposals deal with foss non centralized/fully p2p messaging system? Just make them illegal?

What if the foss app has the “scanning” but can be disabled with a compile time flag

Is my email client going to have to implement this scanning if I use pgp?

My concern with the mini pcs from china (all global brands really accept dell/hp/lenovo) is a lack of prompt bios updates (let alone any)

Every few months there’s a new cpu/bios/firmware vuln since spectre

Btw I used to love pia, I think I’ll check your new one out!

So did you sell pia? Why won’t you sell your next venture ?

Do you have to put in cookies to avoid the sign in/bot prompt? Do you use a vpn to download yt videos?

I think it would be a no brainer for npm to offer this but idk why they haven’t

Or … part of the plan

Well thank god corporations can’t be jailed /s

This might fall under 3/4 but to me the biggest issue is being able to watch without having to turn my vpn off! I had already accepted the rest

Yea I see this a lot with Gemini since 2.5

Very stubborn and “opinionated”

I think most models will tend this way (to consolidate more control over how we “think” and what we believe)

Whenever these things come up I have to point out the most of these manufactures don’t do bios updates. Since spectre/meltdown we see cpu and bios vulnerabilities every few months-yearly.

I know u can patch microcode at runtime/boot but I don’t think that covers all vulnerabilities

I respect the novelty. It’s a meme idea, but the problem solving and coding is still legit as a quick and fun challenge.

Any details on how you managed to scrape the all mighty goog?

Yea I don’t like trying to ride the frame work tailwinds, but wow modern hardware with modern nvidia gpu that supports core boot and heads? The only thing missing is a stellar company reputation that inspires trust

I thought a few states maybe California or New York effectively made non compete not enforceable

Im not an academic but went to fairly prestigious science university (not ivy league or MIT or something like top top tier). I don’t have any experiences to compare it to because I didn’t go to school in other countries.

But haven been through the system and being an American my whole life and understanding America, I would say no I didn’t see anything special about my education.

nothing particularly note worthy and in fact, I have a long list of criticisms. especially tenured professors, professors that don’t speak English very well, and then actually just horrible professors.

Curriculum wise, yes many universities can have fairly cutting edge curriculums but that’s not something we have a monopoly over.

And let’s not talk about the price.

Also, I had quite a few foreign exchange students that I’ve interacted with through throughout the years, whether at school or other places. And more often than not in the cs majors, I would say that they were ahead.

I think that’s a lame argument. First because it’s kind of a fallacy. Size is absolute not relative to something. Especially for software. No one thinks of software size primarily in the context of their disk space.

Further I think everyone keeps getting larger and larger memory because software keeps getting more and more bloated.

I remember when 64gb iPhone was more than enough (I don’t take pictures so just apps and data) Now my 128 is getting uncomfortable due to the os and app sizes. My next phone likely will be a 256

Great catch! Comments mentioned getting it down to ~2MB but that’s still humongous.

If you just think about how roughly (napkin math) 2MB can be 100k loc, that’s nuts

Oh wow. Sold it to her self and got off on her debts. America!

What hardware do you use the most recent supported seems like the Librem offerings. Which are intel 10th gen. Otherwise it’s gets pretty ancient

Yea but when things like this keep happening … it becomes a pattern. A very convenient one at that.

Didn’t Mel Gibson say it cures cancer? On jre

Idk but it was under trump. And the meta issue was balancing the budget after all his tax cuts so he needed to find more tax revenues. Which this accomplishes pretty handily

It’s only a matter of time before governments with the money and the sense adopt automated anti drone radar/turrets.

It’s funny that they haven’t already. I mean it’s about “national security.” This threat has been looming for 10 maybe 15 years now

How do you deal robustly with the changing cat/mouse game of unofficial api access/scraping?

Do you use your own “bot” accounts?
