  • Steal This Comic

    Jump

  • I saw someone on YouTube pissed that they bought 700 ebooks from Amazon and now that they enforce a harder DRM he can't read them anymore.

    Bruh, you voted with your wallet to get DRM in your ebooks. You can't complain if one day they change the encryption

  • Musk accuses Ukraine leader of ‘feeding off dead bodies of soldiers’ in vicious rant

    Jump

  • elon musk should make autonomous weapons. Don't need to test, move fast and break things, will work fine:

  • Elon Musk demands firing of ‘disgusting and cruel’ WSJ reporter who uncovered DOGE employee’s racist tweets

    Jump

  • eh, can see how those are working great for the powerful people (examples: putin, bibi, the libya guy)

  • Developers: "Yes, the users love cluttered homes, just put everything there and ignore guidelines"

    Jump

  • Screenshot is from Windows where dotfiles aren't hidden by default. And all the lazy developers that created those directories, didn't bother to set the hidden attribute (See appdata is greyed, because it has the hidden attribute set)

  • All windows shatter

    Jump

  • The moderator username is implying that it's a subreddit that is for marketing cringe stickers to suckers

  • Over 3.1 million fake "stars" on GitHub projects used to boost rankings

    Jump

  • Why a real person would star a project? When I star a project then my GitHub home is littered with activity from that project. I hate that, so I never star anything

  • Republicans be like

    Jump

  • Also the beauty of H1B visa people is that because they have to leave the country (or find another job) in 30 days in the even that they get fired, it means they are perfect for assholes like that billionaire. "Agree to do this or go back to that shit hole"

  • Please use .config 😭

    Jump

  • I also did the same as you but because they discontinued the official syncthing app on Android I skipped the "sync to PC first step. Now I directly go to Borg from phone night time only when charging, the automate app is able to invoke termux and run the backup script

    Many times it happened the syncthing app crashed in background and I didn't notice before after several days, now if the Borg repository server (borgwarehouse, it's a must have) doesn't see activity after some user specified time sends me a warning email

  • Please use .config 😭

    Jump

  • It's also incredibly useful to backup /sdcard via rsync or Borg every night automatically

    Or access the contents of your phone via SFTP

  • Asus bombards Windows 11 with christmas.exe malware-like Christmas wreath banner

    Jump

  • Especially when there's a chance that the bios update resets the tpm and if the user has enabled bitlocker (automatically done in background without user consent on windows 11 if using a Microsoft account) then they need to type the decryption key to boot again.

    Happened twice on my laptop

  • The manager who approved this need to be fired. Programs need to ask permission to the user before installing, especially when they're not device drivers.

    This is literal malware and there's also a chance that it might be exploited (example: a mitm Attack exchanges the file that armory crate is downloading)

    This kind of Easter egg is not funny at all, developers must avoid undocumented time bombs. I still remember that day 15 years ago when I turned on my Wii and it said that the system files were corrupted. After hours of reverting a full nand backup via bootmii (and losing 2 years of game saves) it turned out that it was a funny April's fool by crediar, which put a fake system corruption message when you run his program on April 1st. Problem is that his program was a loader for the system menu so it was unavoidable if you didn't know that.

    Like me, there must be someone paranoid that saw that black bar on the screen, saw a weird Christmas.exe running on their system, and starting wiping or restoring old images to "clean" that.

  • Honda, Nissan and Mitsubishi confirm they are in merger talks

    Jump

  • Aren't Nissan and Mitsubishi almost part of Renault?

    The Mitsubishi Colt is now a rebadged Renault Clio and the Mitsubishi ASX is a Renault Captur

  • Operating sysrule

    Jump

  • Most keyboard shortcuts are illogical (=differ too much from Linux/Windows) and too often require 3+ keys

    Of course if you're used to "Ctrl+shift+command+3" to do a screenshot instead of just pressing the dedicated button on the keyboard and feel it natural, this doesn't apply to you

  • Elon Musk Is a Paid Subscriber to Shockingly Racist Pro-Apartheid South African X Account

    Jump

  • You can even pay to subscribe to the richest asshole in the world, too and there's a shockingly high numbers of idiots that did so

  • YSK "honey", the discount coupon finding browser extensions (owned by PayPal), is a scam stealing commissions from people who actually should get it.

    Jump

  • It's owned by PayPal, couldn't expect otherwise

  • Operating sysrule

    Jump

  • When Microsoft forced the grouped windows in windows 11 I was crazy. Luckily some hobbyists in their spare time fixed what the multibillion corporation with hundreds of thousands of engineers was unable to do in over two years (explorerpatcher)

  • Operating sysrule

    Jump

  • Well for me it's the opposite. I set once my settings with the domain group policy a decade ago and in every single windows PC that I own I have the perfect settings from the out of the box experience as soon as the first login

    And no need to set 30 key remaps with karabiner

  • I used whisper to create subs of a video and in a section with instrumental relaxing music it filled on repeat with

    La scuola del Dr. Paret è una tecnologia di ipnosi non verbale che si utilizza per risultati di un'ipnosi non verbale

    Clearly stolen from this Dr paret YouTube channels where he's selling hypnosis lessons in Italian. Probably in one or multiple videos he had subs stating this over the same relaxing instrumental music that I used and the model assumed the sound corresponded to that text

    Jump

  • For me an os needs to do basic stuff by default, not by adding a billion 3rd party apps that inevitably break the next os update because they were using undocumented apis

    Clipboard history, window snapping, showing a separate icon for every instance of a window (same app in 3 windows makes 3 icons on the taskbar), preview what that window is by hovering that.

    Sure, you can do that with (mostly paid) third party apps, but I don't like wasting 3 days on setting an operating system in an usable state
