Seeing how much they’ve advanced over recent years I can’t imagine whatever that guy was working on would actually impress anyone today.

I just set up a rule on my firewall to disallow outgoing web traffic from my TV so I can still control it over the wifi. Then if I want to sell it I haven’t broken any functionality.

Bazzite is immutable but uses rpm-ostree which means you can install basically any yum/dnf system packages and have them persist. It should be used sparingly but it’s much more flexible than SteamOS because of it. I customize my own Bazzite-Gnome image to layer in a few packages but I’d consider that pretty advanced.

I assume it’s because they are using performance capture for all the facial animations.

You can do anything…

We can’t let the anti-trans black mold win.

I played the demo and it was pretty fun. I’ll have to check this out.

People need to just participate in adolescent nonsense and develop some trauma, trust issues, or kink like the rest of us.

Oof. Yeah when storing encryption keys for backup media it’s also important to remember to store the key in a place that is accessible when your services are down (like they could be at the time you’re needing to restore a backup).

I’ve definitely screwed up and realized that a key I needed was stored in a credential database that was stored on the encrypted backup I was trying to restore. I was able to access another copy but it slowed me down.

Beware the Melonwasp.

At least on Android, spoofing GPS location is trivial (not that workarounds like this should be necessary).

I write a lot of dry boring technical documentation and I try to sneak in jokes whenever possible and I get a lot of comments sometimes even years later when someone inevitably has need for it.

Gotta keep sane somehow.

It basically does and yeah it basically does.

God asking everyone to only @me for something really important and then having to mute notifications really makes a lot of sense overall.

Maybe that’s where people are who need the information the most?

Businesses are happy to have their employees be more productive without having to pay for expensive new licenses… But eventually they’re going to find out that letting all your employees share swaths of private data with random websites is not a great idea.

This exactly. I’d use rsync to sync a directory to a location to then be backed up by kopia, but I wouldn’t use rsync exclusively for backups.

Ah yes… Pre-crime… Just like all those utopian sci-fi novels.

Civilization isn’t being very civilized these days so I’m cool with this.

People just going about their business living their lives as they have for many years…

Silicon Valley: Hey fuck you. Also I came up with a dumb nickname for you.
