  • Hate it when someone nails me and doesn't even know me

    Jump

  • For breakfast I can get a whole socially acceptable meal by pouring milk over cereal, and then I can wash up by running it under a tap. I’m not missing an opportunity like that.

  • Do you encrypt your drives and why or why not?

    Jump

  • Where do you live that you’re getting raided by the police? This sounds like one of those situations where they might use the wrench technique.

  • Do you encrypt your drives and why or why not?

    Jump

  • I don’t really see the point. If someone’s trying to access my data it’s most likely to be from kind of remote exploit so encryption won’t help me. If someone’s breaks into my house and steals my computer I doubt they’ll be clever enough to do anything with it. I guess there’s the chance that they might sell it online and it gets grabbed by someone who might do something, but most of my important stuff is protected with two factor authentication. It’s getting pretty far fetched that someone might be able to crack all my passwords and access things that way.

    It’s far more likely that it’s me trying to recover data and I’ve forgotten my password for the drive.

  • Lyra’s a piffle-diffle. Why would anyone glorify the flying guy with superhuman strength who goes around using his powers to help people?

  • How do I realistically get out of the US?

    Jump

  • Look up “working holiday visas” if you’re under 30. It’s a process to encourage people to get world experience while they’re young. I’m sure if you found somewhere you liked you could then try and get something more permanent.

  • How is the current AI bubble when compared to the .com bubble in the early 2000's?

    Jump

  • I was alive during the dot com bubble and I don’t think normal people even noticed it. The web was a lot less centralised back in those days and stayed that way for a while. The websites that people were actually using didn’t go anywhere when the bubble burst but there was a lot more website turnover in those days anyway. People were always moving to a better newer service and there were multiple search engines that people used. Then AltaVista turned up and that was the engine to use, until Google turned up and everyone started using that. I still remember when Google was this cool new thing that most people hadn’t heard of.

  • The Crazy Nokia Designs That Never Saw the Light of Day [Wired]

    Jump

  • Nokia were crazy back in the day but I think people may remember them a bit too fondly. I remember how whenever there was some new tech or idea they would absolutely trickle them out just to try and squeeze as much money out of you as possible. If there were two new pieces of tech they’d release two phones, with each of them having one of the new pieces of tech. Back in those days they just refused to make the absolute best phone possible. That’s one of the biggest changes that came from the iPhone.

  • If you have a Samsung I understand all their own brand stuff is pretty secure.

  • Communism has a 100% success rate.

  • Money is for saving

    Jump

  • Honestly, saving money is great. You spend money and it’s good for a short while, but you save money and you get so much comfort from that safety net, from not worrying each time an envelope comes through your door that it’s going to be some bill you can’t afford.

  • What's a unique customization on your Linux machine you think no one else has?

    Jump

  • Funny you should say that, I always felt like the defaults are really bad.

  • What's a unique customization on your Linux machine you think no one else has?

    Jump

  • I created my own openSUSE splash screen for KDE because I felt all the existing ones were a bit amateur and I wanted something professional looking. I haven’t published it because I can’t be bothered creating an account. It only took about 15 minutes because I chopped up another one which had clearly chopped up another one.

  • What hardware and software do you use for home surveillance?

    Jump

  • For the record it turned out to be because I hadn’t set write permissions to the hardware for my user because ChatGPT told me I only needed read permissions to be set up. This must be the first time since its conception that AI’s made a mistake.

  • Lol, they locked all the posts for the community

    Jump

  • I honestly think the whole Linux community should be reading that sub rather than acting like Linux is perfect. Right now desktop Linux is for very tech savvy people who are willing to put in the time to learn and fix, and it’s for their grandmas who only need a web browser and maybe a word processor. Anyone who thinks differently needs to get their head out of the sand. I use Fedora.

  • It’s not impossible to do at all. Until you’re 30 there’s lots of countries that will let you have a working visa. There’s some cultural exposure program to encourage young people to travel the world and experience different cultures. I’m pretty sure Canada’s on it. I’m not interested in going to the States myself, I like how much room there is but the culture isn’t for me and I find the towns and cities dull.

    I like travelling myself and I’m always looking to move somewhere else, being at home is just boring to me and I find it hard to settle.

    If you want to make a life of it you need to look at getting some kind of job which will enable that kind of lifestyle like the military or some kind of diplomatic service.

    I’ve lived overseas myself and you need to be aware that every country has good points and bad points. Something that seems like a quirk will be fucking annoying after a few years. It’s all good fun though.

  • Tea bags releasing 'millions' of microplastics into tea, study shows

  • Yorkshire Tea use compostable tea bags. I think most of the other big UK brands do as well but you should only be drinking Yorkshire.
