Yeah, I don’t think most biologists talk much about “bloodlines.”

The Japanese honorifics are what truly elevate this to abhorrence.

A secure OS should account for dumb/malicious users and mitigate the damage they can do. If a user can be convinced to disable protections on Windows or Android, that same user could easily be convinced to download a script and run it with sudo.

I’ve had a hot take for a while now that Linux isn’t “more secure” than other operating systems like a lot of evangelists will claim. I think people get this impression because the user base for desktop Linux has been small enough that no one was writing malware targeted at us.

Unix’s security model was developed in a world where the primary concern was protecting the system from users and protecting users from each other. It wasn’t really designed for single-user systems where the main concern is protecting the user from their own applications.

I have a dual boot set up, and even I find it annoying to reboot into a different OS just to play an unsupported game. Especially since I use Windows so rarely now that the first thing it wants to do is install a dozen updates.

Glad to see someone had the same initial reaction to that headline.

I mean, that is pretty arbitrary. The reason the divisor is that specific constant is because we already had meters before we knew the speed of light.

So that’s why Fedora is complaining about running out of space on /boot/efi!

I’ve never tried it, so I don’t know. From what I can tell, BitLocker should work. Windows seems to be happy with my current security settings.

I’m currently dual-booting Windows 11 and Fedora Silverblue (actually the ublue-os/silverblue-nvidia image) with secure boot enabled. No BitLocker, though.

I’m going to assume this is Meta’s usual level of negligent greed, and there’s a decent chance that no human was involved. YouTube actually did something very similar.

It seemed to me like this was a transphobic meme that was edited to be supportive instead.

I’m going to provide the counter opinion here: I prefer CSD. SSD gives you a consistent title bar across applications, but it can cause a wildly inconsistent look within a single app. Part of the application is being themed by a different piece of software that doesn’t know anything about it.

I also like apps being able to make use of some of the extra space in the titlebar if they want to.

I recognize that art style…

It really seems like most people who say that really mean, “the government shouldn’t be telling me to put in my body… but they should absolutely tell you what to put in yours.”

I love Ze Frank, but this isn’t really a meme.

Grand Blue is a drinking diving manga.

😠

This is something I think a lot of people don’t realize; It’s a cascading failure. It’s not just that some competent people will leave the country. The rest of their teams will have to bear the extra burden and be demoralized. They will then feel compelled to leave as well.

It’s happened numerous times in both the public and private sectors. Now they’re deliberately trying to do this shit on a national scale. If we ever recover from this, it’s going to take decades…
