Lmao this is precisely how I thought this would turn out.

I mean, I was already radicalized in that respect, but it’s definitely reaffirming that radicalization.

But also: I fuckin told you so. This progression was so blindingly obvious from the get-go.

Yeah, that’s definitely a quandary. But in the case of people who know they might be (or have been previously) targeted with that sort of bullshit, it’s a prudent precaution in the US (and Canada too, evidently)

Don’t need to arrest the suspect if they’re dead taps forehead

Yeah the cops on this side of the pond are crazy, and their leadership staff tend to fall a lot further into the “complete psycho” side of the human spectrum.

Thanks for sharing that story though - the dichotomy is absolutely fucking wild, especially considering we’re talking about Northern Ireland.

A lot of people enjoy solving tricky and nuanced problems, and this is one. The fact that it yields really awesome outputs like this is, to some degree, just a bonus.

activates vpn why yes, I AM a citizen of the EU!

Screw that, I want a phone that folds into a fucking origami crane

Just… why…?

In my book, while snaps are definitely annoying and crappy, Ubuntu entirely lost the plot when they started scaremongering with their Ubuntu Pro “security alert” upsell messages. That’s some Norton Antivirus level shit.

I have heard that a lot of corps in less privacy/data sensitive fields have been strongly encouraging employees to use it to “boost throughput”, and it’s because the C-suites had An Idea that it’d be great to sign a multi-million dollar contract with MS or whatever cloud LLM provider, except nobody uses it because in many cases it’s just worse than useless, and not that many people give enough of a shit to essentially learn how to be a “prompt engineer” on top of their normal jobs.

It’s amusingly similar to how all the RTO initiatives are actually motivated by the C-suites being super pissed that their expensive corporate real estate is a giant waste of money in many cases, despite the fact that people are often working better and more efficiently from home.

Stunning and brave!

Skill issue

Because you can customize all of that

It’s like 3D TVs, for a lot of consumer applications tbh

But you’re not forced to actually wait through them like on YT - you can just scroll past.

lol wtf are you talking about? You can literally take $100 off the price of a computer just because it’s not bundled with a Winderps license - the price is straight up lower because the license cost is $0. You can order some models like this straight from Dell or Lenovo or whatever.

Atomic OSes should be evangelized more aggressively to laypersons. IMO, they’re great for 3 specific use cases:

• gaming (bazzite) - personally, I want my gaming box to “just work”
• thin clients/low-powered laptops used as an entry point to your homelab or other remote systems - again, I like having at least one fairly bulletproof and super stable system to use as a human:homelab gateway/admin machine
• non-techies. If the update fails, just roll back. Can’t remember if that’s generally an automated recovery process or not, but that sort of idiot-proofing is precisely what the general public needs in the context of Linux. Because there are a lot of idiots out there.

Only a quarter? Who are they trying to advertise to at this point? Neo-Nazis?

New Line-Up of OLED and Mini-LED TVs

Oh, interesting…

with Fire TV built in
