Bought a new computer, threw the old one out.

Use etc-keeper, saves everything in a git repo and integrates with a bunch of package managers. Been using it for decades it feels like now.

Ligature, not lineature.

Exit codes from processes are damage points that you take against your HP. When your HP runs out, the distro reformats itself to a clean state.

Just for the sake of comparison, Alphabet had $308 billion in revenue and $74 billion in profit in 2023 if I’m reading the numbers correctly. But they need cheaper labour.

Shake and bake in full effect.

“I think it would depend on the circumstances.” That doesn’t sound very absolute then, if it depends. “Absolute” means absolute, not “well actually it would depend.” I think they have a particular set of use cases in mind for this “absolute immunity” thing.

Who’s ready to fly on a zipline?

I wouldn’t say quite the same root cause — the xz back door was clearly intentional, but I don’t recall the Heartbleed bug having been intentional, and developer responsible has denied allegations to that effect. There can be no doubt in the xz case of malicious intent.

That’s easy, just create new accounts every time you login.

Presumably they’d do it with some kind of idle timeout. No inputs for X number of minutes and you get an ad.

Give Tunic a try. The in-game manual is a central piece of its overall puzzle.

In the recent Musk biography it was said that at some point after a meeting with NASA he changed his laptop password to “ilovenasa” so you’re not far off in terms of terrible password security if the story is accurate.

I was never into Dragon Ball but Chrono Trigger and Dragon Quest were my jams. Will have to play DQXI over my vacation.

Donald Knuth, author of The Art Of Computer Programming, basically our bible, famously doesn’t use email.

Why wouldn’t you just create a GUI interface in Visual Basic to track their IP addresses tho?

How do you know that deleting anything on Reddit actually deletes anything? It might just hide the content but soft delete it in the database, which means you may not be able to see it anymore but they can still use it for whatever.

Ironically, all of these things except Abrowser are based on Konqueror’s original engine, KHTML, so Konqueror was actually the OG engine. KHTML was forked to WebKit, which was forked to Blink, which became the underpinnings of Qt WebEngine, which Konqueror now uses.

This is also why KHTML still appears in the user agent strings for all of these engines, but back in the day the Gecko engine used in Mozilla products was already a thing and KHTML was the alternative to that, hence “KHTML, like Gecko”.

The IP holder at this point is Microsoft, so who knows. Microsoft has bought up a lot of big gaming outfits recently, so this is kind of new territory.
