  • That is basically the biggest fuck up you could make as a government contracted technology provider. They even let it happen and hid it deliberately.

  • Pretty sure I had some of the 3x last week, though I didn't finish them. They were pretty spicy yes but also they just didn't taste very nice, it didn't seem worth it.

  • Did you remember to clear your cookies and cache?

  • It's okay to not start in your ideal job on day one and to take sideways shifts to get closer to it. I went from phone monkey in a call centre, to a letter monkey, to a software tester, to a software business analyst (all at the same company), to a software product owner, to a software product manager. I gravitated back towards my stronger IT oriented passions over time.

  • He believes a heavily embedded AI integration on iOS with a 3rd party is a violation of security and privacy... because its not his 3rd party being integrated with.

  • Bombing of Nuseirat’s busy market area began soon after the raid started at around 11am (9am BST), turning the neighbourhood into “smoke and flames”, Muhannad Thabet, a 35-year-old resident, told AFP.

    “People were screaming – young and old, women and men,” he said. “Everyone wanted to flee the place, but the bombing was intense and anyone who moved was at risk of being killed due to the heavy bombardment and gunfire.”

    At least one wave of heavy airstrikes was launched to secure the passage of the three men, who had been held together. Argamani was rescued alone, from a separate location.

    Not. Discriminate. Enough.

  • Some of the loudest voices in the anti-war movement in Israel have been families of hostages. Considering the track record of their military action, exchanges and peace talks are a far safer way for their family members to be returned, and they are not happy in their loved ones being used as a pretext for a purge of Gaza's civilian population.

  • I'm going to try to take this in the spirit that it was provided, but you're using a lot of "..."s, and a lot of implications that what I'm saying is obvious, for a person trying to provide earnest assistance. I wasn't requesting technical support or expressing surprise at these things, I was merely expressing that these were the things I was generally encountering difficulty with my transition to Linux as a daily driver.

    The DisplayLink driver for instance is running, and basically functional, but ends up running slowly, with distortions, and instability. It also isn't signed, so my plan to still run Secure Boot with the distro I'm using alongside Windows is out (without a lot of faff), but that largely won't matter excusing some specific work setups that I don't currently have to worry about. Having useful AMD specific driver level tools on Windows that don't exist in Linux isn't a surprise, it is a discouragement.

    Forum content and non-Reddit content are a pain to locate, especially when you don't know how to frame your problem in Linux syntax, as you say. Communities are either open but in specific places that I will never find without already knowing about it, or happening in places that aren't accessible without having already joined, like the Discord of the specific software I need guidance on. My experience has been that there is basic info and there is advanced info out there, but intermediate info that lets you bridge the gap is a challenge to locate, especially with subtle differences in certain steps that are distro/package manager specific. Yet I press on.

  • I'll say it. Cats have bad work ethic.

  • I'm not having a great time with DisplayLink driver support, personally. Various applications I use with mixed levels of support too, along with missing out on Windows specific GPU features.

    This has been my most successful round of Linux adoption, but there are still niggling issues and confusion. The biggest difficulty is that my accumulated support knowledge of like 20 years is useless and I am relearning basic issue identification and resolution processes.

    The internet being a raging dumpster fire, support is kind of patchy on more niche topics. All the good, useful discussions are largely happening behind closed doors at this point on everyone's Discords and whatnot.

  • "It works fine if you follow a 10 stage guide filled with terminal commands to configure it properly, which describes commands that are different in your distro."

    Cool.

  • No... we're good...

  • Bitwarden is too functional and too affordable for me to really consider moving.

  • That's the real sticking point for me, it is a problem for my desire to transition to Linux as a daily driver.

  • He won't need to, it'll be his "independent" department of justice calling the shots. Sessions and Barr did everything in their power, without committing actual explicit crimes, to keep Trump happy while they were in charge.

  • What possible reason would he have to do that...? If he wins, he gets off scot free. If he loses then he'll claim that he won and is being suppressed for political reasons and then get of scot free.

  • Did I say at some stage that I just want a flat, nuanceless ban on industries? I answered a hypothetical posed about individual's personal consumption.

    AI needs reigning in for so many different reasons, energy consumption or otherwise. Its utility to society is more than counterbalanced by the dangers that it and its unregulated expansion poses to that same society. If nothing else, government and industry bodies to catch up with it and impose appropriate standards.
