xcrunner529on Dialtone – AOL 3.0 Server

There was Nina too and then they destroyed the discord over a weirdo pedo mod and took down the website. Also closed source because they’re also selfish.

xcrunner529on Home Depot sued for 'secretly' using facial recognition at self-checkouts

Still here at Kroger which consistently calls for assistance.

And then there’s fucking Costco where after the system calling over a rep after I scanned something. apparently I am only to use the scanning gun for things that are staying in the cart, when I bagged it it called them over.

xcrunner529on WHY2025: How to become your own ISP [video]

Lots of other countries have ISPs that are 6 only today. It’s a privilege at this point that the US doesn’t have to care as much. You don’t need it.

xcrunner529on Jobs data denialism won't fool anyone

It’s interesting how I don’t hear the same fearmongering over “price controls” when Kamala dared mention a plan to stop grocery store price gouging from the same people when Trump demanded drug companies lower their prices [1].

xcrunner529on Microsoft is open sourcing Windows 11's UI framework

Yep. Most any regular company is majority windows. It’s not exciting but why would they bother throwing that influence away.

xcrunner529on Show HN: Windows 7 GUI for the web

Super cool. Anyone know if a similar library exists for Aqua?

xcrunner529on The Promised LAN

I am sad I don’t have 10 friends let alone so many that would be interested in such a thing.

Only useful thing for my friends would maybe have been for gaming but with online these days it’s less necessary.

xcrunner529on The Promised LAN

What an extremely technical friend group lol.

xcrunner529on NonRAID – fork of unRAID array kernel module

I currently use and love snap raid. I assume the reason for this project was for real time? That seems to be the only thing unraid improves on?

xcrunner529on Global hack on Microsoft Sharepoint hits U.S., state agencies, researchers say

There are monthly security updates for packages for our Linux systems too.

xcrunner529on Global hack on Microsoft Sharepoint hits U.S., state agencies, researchers say

It was at the time when MS was marketing it as a CMS and file storage hence me saying that’s funny…

xcrunner529on Global hack on Microsoft Sharepoint hits U.S., state agencies, researchers say

Sure. Just saying when that first was brought up in 2007+ and I had to admin it and people loved their folders and searching and such wouldn’t work because if the view sizes.

xcrunner529on Global hack on Microsoft Sharepoint hits U.S., state agencies, researchers say

This was about open source. Not Linux.

xcrunner529on Global hack on Microsoft Sharepoint hits U.S., state agencies, researchers say

Zero day actively explored events are not a once a month thing. Are you trying to argue there’s no Linux vulnerabilities monthly??

xcrunner529on Global hack on Microsoft Sharepoint hits U.S., state agencies, researchers say

Which is so funny because it was a pain in the ass on prem to make sharepoint work for that purpose. Silly item restrictions, complaints about database sizes (which stored the files), etc

xcrunner529on Global hack on Microsoft Sharepoint hits U.S., state agencies, researchers say

2013 literally came with a tool to built a theme from your html and css and other features for hosting web sites.

Did you already forget about log4j?

xcrunner529on Global hack on Microsoft Sharepoint hits U.S., state agencies, researchers say

My former boss bought that hook,line, and sinker and that’s why I was fixing the legacy cms environment today.

xcrunner529on Hyatt Hotels are using algorithmic Rest “smoking detectors”

Did it? Has the house of rep proportion changed?

xcrunner529on New York’s bill banning One-Person Train Operation

Nope. Seems more like symptoms of not automating things. As if I’m calling for immediate switch to no conductors with no work.

xcrunner529on New York’s bill banning One-Person Train Operation

Yep I can’t stand this disingenuous behavior. Really the trains should even be automated at this point. Chicago constantly has staffing issues so their service gets worse and worse and yet they insist on staying in the past.

xcrunner529on Hyatt Hotels are using algorithmic Rest “smoking detectors”

This is true as well. Because the people (mostly) let them.

xcrunner529on Happy 20th Birthday, Django

Instagram doesn’t agree.

xcrunner529on Valve confirms credit card companies pressured it to delist certain adult games

So no new life is created at conception like you said.

xcrunner529on Hyatt Hotels are using algorithmic Rest “smoking detectors”

It’s not a direct democracy. It’s a rep democracy or a republic. Idk why you fools still think this is some gotcha. It just makes you look silly. The quote works just as well with republic it.

xcrunner529on Hyatt Hotels are using algorithmic Rest “smoking detectors”

Yea Russia does and of course Putin always wins by a large amount…

xcrunner529on Microsoft Office is using an artificially complex XML schema as a lock-in tool

People inevitably want to print the contents, never mind the implications of column size for ease of reading.

xcrunner529on Valve confirms credit card companies pressured it to delist certain adult games

There is no unique dna at conception. I know this is fun to repeat but it really shows you ignore science. .
