Why’d you have to ditch gaming? I play games all the time on Linux. Steam works just fine.

This is really bad advice, especially in relationships.

This was pretty good.

“Oh, the deep dream stuff? Yeah, those look so trippy. What do you mean poop though? Usually it’s just dogs.”

I may be mistaken, but I really could’ve sworn that a lot of the really strict SLA guarantees Amazon gives assume you are doing things across availability zones and/or regions. Like they’re saying “we guarantee 99.999% of uptime across regions” sort of thing. Take this with a grain of salt, it’s something I only half remember from a long time ago.

Yucky 🤮

Kling has promoted the nonsense white replacement conspiracy theory

This is news to me. I’ll look into them saying that and change how I talk about this event. Because before knowing this I would’ve described it similarly as the other person. But yeah, any grace I was willing to extend goes away if they’re parroting white replacement.

System Deez nutz

I don’t get the systemd hate. The most common complaint I see is that it’s too bloated, but Arch uses it, so what gives? Is it just that people dislike change? Like Wayland hate (not Wayland frustration)?

I don’t find that shocking, and to be honest, I don’t really see too much of a problem with forcing people to give that information to be on the play store. But to let people make programs that run on the hardware at all is crazy. Forbidding third party app stores is the most anti competitive bullshit ever.

Seems very secure. As in job security. Because why the fuck did they make it so complicated.

Presumably running upgrade with the update flag is smart enough to do it in the proper order because there would be no point in doing it in the opposite order. Many other package managers just work like this out of the box. Homebrew is such an example. Running upgrade automatically does “update” first.

Right? I get that it’s “alarming” to users to see weird stuff, but just hide it under a little expandable thing.

How? I could’ve sworn it wasn’t even a “real” file. I thought the file system just had special rules for interacting with that name.

Presumably running upgrade with the update flag does it all in one go.

I think people get too defensive about security by obscurity not being security. It’s still better for things to be obscure, it’s just not sufficient. A hidden lock to open a door is marginally better than a lock on the door. A hidden button to open a door isn’t secure though, of course.

But at the same time, I fully understand why it’s stressed so much. People tend to make analogies in their mind to the physical world. The digital world is so different though. An example I use often is you can’t jiggle every doorknob in the world to see if it’s unlocked, but it’s (relatively) easy to check every IPv4 address for an open port to some database with default credentials.

Yeah, I was doing sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade

Expanded it’s more clear what’s going on.
