Former OS security here (I worked at an OS vendor who sold an OS or two and my job involved keeping it secure).

Fuck no.

Sorry if that makes you downvote, but it doesn't make them safer.

When did it become illegal to be a teenager?

Shortly after tiktok made kids do dumb things for cheap popularity.

I'm more thankful, day by day, that I escaped my teens before every kid had a phone and every phone had a camera.

seen a "homeless" guy beg for money, with a cardboard sign. Then goes and gets into his sports car and drives off.

This isn't new: 20-20 used to do exposés on this kind of thing, and profiled (tailed) a beggar on the tonnele off-ramp and circle as he walked to his car, put his over-costume in his trunk, and drove off. This was in like 1999. On interviewing him, he admitted he made decent coin.

Support your food banks. They need cash.

that make

that made.

Our foray into automation is:

  • meross light bulbs about 50%
  • maybe 4 amazon echo flex

We like that we can turn off the lights, dim them or change colour, with a request. But beyond power blinds and tile tracking and dogs and cat, our eventual switch is gonna be shallow.

I need a replacement for the Echo Flex units that'll work with HAss -- voice interaction, music and calls, etc. I'd like to AnyLocate the cats' Tiles and show where they are in the house. We run airlock protocol for the patio access to ensure that cats never get out, but confirming they're not hiding under the bed would really reduce the anxiety around that.

You could use the immense amount of privilege you have (being in the top 3.5% of people in the world with food, water and electricity) to lobby your government.

Considered lobbying the government as a single human. Went to work instead since I cannot dine on privilege and need to eat.

Air Canada has apologized to customers who were allegedly escorted off a plane for refusing to sit in a chair covered with vomit for the duration of their over four-hour flight.

The airline issued a statement after a viral Facebook post claimed two as-yet unidentified female flyers were told there was nothing to be done about the visible vomit on their soiled seats.

Oh! AirCanada!

We've been using Yum (and now its "differenter name is betterer" dnf) for what, 20 years?

You think we'll ever get someone with a clue to fix this? Will RedHat going all IBM about source code help?

 

Okay, so what's with Gitlab and ServiceNow getting so fat on whitespace that they no longer fit in half a 1920x1200 screen properly?

What's the standard width that actual professional webdevs are building toward? Is there a standard, or like app dependendencies are they back to pre-y2k "moar moar nom nom" methodologies?

 

I didn't find this yet, but please downvote to hell itself and drop a link to the proper prior post in comments if you find it.

In here, eventually, are some comments from the Fedora project leader about how RHEL trying to kill open access to source and packaging source code is potentially going to affect Fedora, RedHat's ginger adopted stepchild which it usually overlooks.

I must say there's a LOT to wait through and one of them has a mic with a bad level at times, and I didn't sit all the way through. Tell me if I've been scammed, but I thought this may have value and I'm hoping to hear confirmation of that too.

Enjoy? Or flame me. Happy Friday.
