Yeah, no. iPhone VPN apps aren’t the route that Russian hackers are taking.

😬 I’m not sure how I’d feel about porn generated on a data set of potential STIs

To be fair, I was in the camp of “put a sock in it” until I reached a point of “alright FINE, I’ll give it a go” and now I’m joining the choir on it, desktop Linux is a dream.

Agreed. I’m sure if I was heads down in Excel for years beforehand it would be a significant downgrade, but as a casual user, making better use of some of the more advanced features became so, SO much easier with the Ribbon.

I’ve always been hugely in favor of it. It’s the one change that could maybe justify their gargantuan salaries – if your company causes harm and suffering, the leaders absolutely need to be put on the hook.

I mean, they’re one implementor of about 10 that use the same container standards. It sucks that they were first so their name is now synonymous with containers a la Kleenex, but the technology itself is standard, very open and ubiquitous, and a huge step forward in simplifying deployments and development lifecycles that would otherwise be too complex to reasonably handle.

My insurance site (MyCigna) started working a couple months ago, but for years it failed to log in. It’s those types of contracted apps that seem to fail the most for me, like apps you’d see on a company intranet.

The fuck’s wrong with you?

Tsoukalos fired back with a lame schoolyard threat that probably didn’t help his cause, writing: “Tell me that to my face and let’s see what happens.”

I can’t think of the last time anyone actually said “say that to my face” without a hint of irony.

most Linux systems don’t even use DHCP

WTF are you smoking? WTF is wrong with you that you think such a dumb claim would go unscrutinized? I would play Russian roulette on the chances of a random Linux installation on a random network talking DHCP.

Edit, in case being charitable helps: DNS and IP address allocation aren’t the only things that happen over DHCP. And even then the odds are overwhelming that those are being broadcast that way.

The consumer vehicle side of Polestar has always been exclusively electric, and was launched 7 years ago with the Polestar 1

It’s a pretty popular meme format, it’s not serious

Welp, looks like my next hardware isn’t gonna be Dell 🤷‍♂️

I was about to say. There’s a million concerns over environmental and economic effects (that I’ll own up to ignoring when visiting family or exploring), but safety is still wayyy down the list. The statistic about being 20x more likely to die in a car crash on the way to the airport than the flight itself still holds very firmly true (and I’m being SUPER conservative about those numbers in case recent events tilt it, it’s still a ~800x per-mile ratio).

Ditto, I practically could’ve wrote that comment myself

Sure, but this is less than nothing. It literally applies 0 friction against AI and is completely and totally unenforceable. AND it’s a laughing stock for everyone and sucks the oxygen out of better AI regulation groups and think-tanks.

Oof, and there’s only ten lines of code, too. And they look very purposefully written out.

Luckily Google is here to save us. Just replace the word “save” with “screw”. Ad revenue over safety, always.
