  • I mean...

  • I mean, I’m not saying 90s internet didn’t have any of that, but I wouldn’t have described it as “overrun”. Seemed to me, as a child, like most of it was just companies getting an online presence for their existing business to try and be part of wave.

    ISPs have always sucked, though.

  • Fast internet is nice, but what if it wasn’t a corporatized nightmare overrun with money-chasing investor-backed start-ups and giant monocorps trying to monetize and exploit every single inch of it?

  • Funny bit idea: Pop the US tech industry bubble by showing the Americans that they can’t even compete at something they thought they were generations ahead on, and make it strictly open source

  • “Easy to do when you steal”, is pretty fucking rich coming from someone defending US tech companies.

  • the existing hyperloop is like a novelty they only have running on rotation during conventions and events. it is not a viable public transportation system so of course they went all-in on expanding this fucking farce.

  • Tips for getting better at Linux.

    Jump

  • Depends on what it is. If it’s meant to be mainly used in the shell I will usually use whatever language the shell uses. Anything that’s run automatically usually gets done in bash for compatibility, and stuff more complicated than a few loops and some piping gets done in something easier to work with like python.

  • For getting better at terminal I would suggest looking into alternative shells. Bash is fine, but it’s not exactly user friendly by default. Something with more robust auto completion like zsh or saner defaults like fish could make the learning experience easier. You can always come back to bash later.

    For understanding how the OS works I would start by reading about the file system layout, then look into the init process.

    I got to the point I am at through a series of projects of increasing complexity. First I ran a web server on my machine to copy files over the network. Then I used a spare PC to make a simple SMB server. Later I made it into a HTPC pirate box, for streaming stuff downloaded off Usenet to my Xbox. At some point I ran a minecraft server (before docker came along and trivialized this), and got into a bunch of sysadmin and programming stuff and that’s pretty much it.

  • iOS more prone to attack than Android reveal analysts

  • So it’s iOS users who are more vulnerable, not the OS itself.

  • How do you feel about the level of censorship in your current instance ?

  • Americans are so heavily inundated with anti Chinese propaganda that they consider not being rabidly against China to be blind allegiance to the CPC.

  • "Trying"

    Jump

  • wikipedia has summarized the situation in a way neither the fortune article nor that AP news article could with a single paragraph:

    In October 2022, she was arrested for using fake loan applications to embezzle more than US$12.5 billion from Sai Gon Joint Stock Commercial Bank, which she controlled through more than two dozen middlemen. This caused a bank run.

  • "Trying"

    Jump

  • In the April conviction, she was found to have orchestrated financial fraud amounting to $12.5 billion for illegally controlling a major bank allowing loans that resulted in losses of $27 billion, according to state media reports.

    I don't know what "illegally controlling a major bank" means or how she pulled it off but that's what AP news says about it.

  • Protestation

    Jump

  • So heavily propagandized to love capitalism that people keep recognizing it’s the problem then try to resolve that dissonance by making up a specific type of capitalism that’s bad, rather than the whole.

  • The historical existence of snow depends on where you’re talking about. Climate is changing but not every manifestation of that will cause less snow. It’s possible some places start getting more as rising temperatures create more moisture in the air in places that are historically cold and dry. For example, parts of the mountains here in Nevada had unusually high snowfall, like Lee’s Canyon While looking at (what appears to be) the historical data for the US overall doesn’t seem to show a significant deviation at a cursory glance.

    Saying these things are obviously true while not bothering to check if they’re factually accurate is misrepresenting the problem and leaves openings for climate denialists to make themselves more credible. “You said snowfall was going down but it just saw record snowfall in the news!” Which is a bad argument but a convincing one to people who aren’t inclined to deal with a global apocalyptic problem.

  • If the cameras they use for this are cheap enough to not have an IR filter on them you could maybe blind them with some bright IR LEDs while remaining relatively inconspicuous as long as no one points their phone camera at you.

  • Is there a better way to browse man pages?
