He’s been a libertarian douchebag as long as he’s been a public figure.

What’s the tool of choice now?

Facebook paid kids $20 a month to run this app: https://www.vox.com/the-goods/2019/1/30/18203803/facebook-research-vpn-minors-data-access-apple

These kids most likely didn’t see it as a VPN at all

This is the game I play on my Steamdeck the most. Great for five minutes or 45. I’m at ascension 14 or so.

1. There will be scores of people looking for evidence this new device is doing something Apple has not disclosed. This is how security researchers make a name for themselves.

2. The engineers on the team building this product will not want to be associated with building something nefarious. These engineers are just regular people. You can find them online and speak with them. They look for jobs at other firms just like we all do. Unless they are being paid so well that they won’t ever have to work again, they can’t ruin their reputations.

3. If you really believe what this post is purporting, I’ll remind you that you are most likely carrying a device with you every day that has a microphone and internet access. If you aren’t, you are still surrounded by people who are.

The claims this post is making will simply make people tune out or ignore real security concerns.

@Klanky I loved every bit of that except for Rick Berman’s name.

I’d be happy if the show could be redone with modern technology. The CGI that was cutting edge when B5 first aired now looks very dated and I think it’s hard for younger prospective fans to get into the visuals.

Are the Rest of Lemmy guys there playing 3D checkers?

Does this mean I can reasonably expect to buy a Chromebook and install vanilla Linux without huge headaches?

There’s always been Linux distros that targeted Mac hardware. There’s got to be something like that for chromebooks, right?

TIL Bohemian Rhapsody was formally the highest grossing biopic. I kind of liked the movie but I know a lot of people who obsessed over Freddie Mercury and they all swear the movie is wretched

@JWBananas

This is a super useful clip. Voyager is one of the shows I’ve retained least well and I couldn’t remember who this holodeck character was supposed to be
