What style of cardio do people like? Some people have knee issues for example, or long winters. What do they do?

Make your bed nicely every day. Whatever else happens, you’ll have a made up bed whenever you glance at the room and at the end of the day

Ever try Manjaro for games?

How is the keyboard, trackpad, and battery life?

So why is it so many programs support/recommend Ubuntu rather than generic Linux? Is it primarily the testing environment that the devs use and the packaging formats the different distros use? I ask because I’m deciding between fedora and some Ubuntu flavour for my next OS and have used Ubuntu for the last 2 years

Blizzard is really committing to these blunders. I have a lan coming up and collectively we’ve decided to not play any blizzard titles in the foreseeable future.

I know some people who almost didn’t get home from a vacation because strikes are affecting the airports, buses, and railroads

I watched a documentary once that described how corporations will hire people to eat Subway in public places or to talk loudly about things as a form of marketing. It’s profoundly dishonest

I suppose that the encryption is relevant no matter where you operate from. Does that protect metadata? I assume that all they can learn is that person X is visiting a site that uses your service, which is pretty unhelpful for spooks. In that case, the main security or privacy concern probably revolves around government data requests and/or data center security

The “Free as in Freedom” podcast, with Sandler and Kuhn, restarted this year. It hasn’t had an episode in a few months however. I wonder if they will do an episode on this

Kuhn is a pretty level headed person, it is just unfortunate and sloppy wording. He is speaking about scientific or other expert knowledge

Wow, 2100 comments. Thanks for the link

RMS resigned!? I can’t believe I missed something like that (I’m even a fsf “member”)

“ ProPublica is a nonprofit newsroom that investigates abuses of power. Sign up for ProPublica’s Big Story newsletter to receive stories like this one in your inbox as soon as they are published.”

Is propublica good/reliable news source? Always looking for good news sources

I’m astounded at how little testing companies do with their products. Most high school students with nothing better to do could have hypothesized this problem and tested for it if only somebody had bothered to ask them.

Citizens should not need to spend millions of their own dollars to “enforce the law”

The attorney fees shouldn’t depend on the time they spent on the case, they should get paid for creating value for their clients

Couldn’t it just have a lcd display with a scrolling alert message? Maybe even a red light that turns on to draw attention.

With telemetry, it’s by definition non-secure since it’s leaking your information by design

Thanks!

With 50 bombs to learn from, I would be amazed if the clever engineers in charge wouldn’t find a way past those measures given enough time and money

As somebody who avoids the news except during elections, what the heck is going on? Turkey and Russia is invading Syria? The USA pulled out suddenly? I’ve missed a lot

I feel for the agents who have to spend time on those sites to investigate them. I’d be traumatized having to watch things like that for work

Iirc there is a bitcoin “atm” somewhere in my city

I don’t believe cable tv, for how locked down and awful it is/was, ever went so far as to try and limit any spending outside their own platforms. Perhaps it was a lack of innovation, but the internet and the world of software licensing is gross by comparison

The studies seem flawed in a very obvious way

> If you set up a circumstance where there's no relationship between the button and the light, depressed patients might be able to better pick that out, because that set of circumstances happens to conform to their somewhat biased view of the universe, that bad things happen for no reason," Moore explains. "That doesn't necessarily mean that they're more accurate broadly, but under that very narrow set of stimulus conditions, they come out looking more accurate.

My Facebook feed had been friends posting memes and angry political stories since 2010. I deleted it

I thought posters were joking. That is absurd

People say google has good engineers, and that their systems have few bugs. However, their algorithmic bugs routinely de-platform people and often seem to take away people’s incomes (eg, the AdWords people losing accounts every other day). To me, that sounds like one of the most severe types of bugs possible and the Internet is rife with these stories

Not sure why the downvotes. Canadian companies are not into paying people very well, instead we get news stories about massive outsourcing to India followed by security breaches a few years later (eg, see the news over the last year or two about almost every single one of our major banks)
