Why are text editors cloud services now?

It isn’t unreasonable to ask someone to learn a new language, if they currently only speak Sumeric.

It’s like a Captcha that only lets in autistic people.

Bitwarden has a function where it types in (not pastes) the password and shows the prompt for it without right-click.

It says “one special character”. Not “at least one”.

oh. oh god. what the fuck.

I could see why they would do it specifically in this case.

There’s been huge protests against building the Gigafactory in Brandenburg, and the main instrument of the opponents was using Germany’s strict environmental protection laws against it.
If they needed to cut down more trees along the tracks to electrify the line, the opponents could possibly delay that by suing in court, demanding studies be done, maybe finding an endangered ant species somewhere in the area.

Running the train on batteries avoids that.

Dark mode users just don’t know how to adjust their screen brightness properly.

yes, please.

and in China

You can definitely avoid buying stuff from mainland China for most product categories.
And for those you can’t, buy second-hand.

The immutability isn’t designed to protect against a malicious attacker with root access.
Any system is fucked if that happens.
It’s designed to reduce the workload of the maintainers, because they effectively only need to test and build for one standard image.

He was forced to move from California back to Minnesota cause he couldn’t afford life on the west coast anymore.
Recently he stated in an interview that it’s getting tight in Michigan, too.
But he still has a hobby of restoring old cars from the 60’s so he’s not starving.
I’m donating a monthly amount to him (roughly the equivalent of what I’d pay for an M365 subscription), cause IMO Slackware needs to survive.
Unfortunately, he’d need about 200 regular donaters like that to live off, and Slackware’s user base probably isn’t large enough for that anymore.

But in systems free of systemd and all its entourage of shit, that’s still true.

OK my bad, I don’t run systemd.

Same goes for Linux and macOS, actually, but Linux will happily let you keep your machine vulnerable to getting hacked for months.

Linux “reboots” every program and service it updates separately.
So the only update that needs a reboot is one of the kernel, which doesn’t happen often.
With Enterprise Linux, you can update the kernel without a reboot, too.

Elon’s Enemies

A tablet is a device you give your child to use for a limited time, ideally supervised.
A phone is a device they carry around all day and also use while you’re not there.
I won’t give my child a tablet before they’re 11 either. I’d rather give them a desktop PC and a drawing tablet.
But a phone is now pretty much necessary starting with secondary school, unless you want your child to be bullied and socially isolated.

M365 would be WYSIWIG.
What you see is what I get.

Do it on a 5 monitor setup with a 2kW subwoofer to make a point.
