I’m glad Techdirt still exists.

Probably wouldn’t get me to leave Lemmy, but I wouldn’t mind another competitor to Reddit.

I’m trying to get into creating electronic circuits. I’m terrible at it, though.

lol, I’m currently licensed and have never put my voice out on radio.

I’m also a software developer and I’ve never touched any of that professionally. There’s a lot more diversity of ecosystems out there, bud.

Well, you have now.

Video seems off. Weird frame rate jitters when panning.

And it’s going to take a little while for these expected effects to even be felt nationwide. Right now, everything is mostly just talk, unless you happen to interact with some of the understaffed agencies.

Calling this thing a “real life flying” car is generous. This thing just looks like a mock-up at best and it didn’t appear to even have a driver/pilot during the demo.

This thing will be bad in the air and bad on the ground.

The people that didn’t get vaccinated didn’t do so out of fear. Fear of things they don’t understand. Fear of scientists and doctors and the medical establishment. Sure as fuck wasn’t bravery.

Nice, wonder what would happen if we just started calling it “Big Weather Change Trends.”

It still looks like that but it did then, too.

And does anyone actually think those have a chance of passing right now?

There’s always been talk of succession here and there, but we just aren’t at the point of the US actually breaking up.

I think you need some perspective. The situation is bad and seems like foreshadowing of worse things to come. However, we’re a pretty far distance from states pulling away or civil war breaking out.

I’m with you, OP. I’ll never blindly do that.

Also, to add to the reasons that’s bad:

• you can put restrictions on a single executable. setuid, SELinux, apparmor, etc.
• a simple compromise of a Web app altering a hosted text file can fuck you
• it sets the tone for users making them think executing arbitrary shell commands is safe

I recoil every time I see this. Most of the time I’ll inspect the shell script but often if they’re doing this, the scripts are convoluted as fuck to support a ton of different *nix systems. So it ends up burning a ton of time when I could’ve just downloaded and verified the executable and have been done with it already.

What is it you’re looking for? Do you want to know what kinds of information is used for fingerprinting?

If so, check out coveryourtracks.eff.org and amiunique.org.

And automatic darkmode isn’t respected, and a lot of other little annoyances. That’s why this is so difficult. These are all incredibly useful features we would have to sacrifice for privacy.

Thanks for the correction. That’s pretty rad. Now I’m wondering if that’s a wrong memory or if it was released in the last few years.

Blog spam. The source article is actually worth reading.
