Said it better than I could. Fair? Yes. Effective? No.

So… Slackware?

Sales slowing is only one variable in the “growth” equation. Specifically, are sales of gas vehicles slowing more than sales of electric cars? Yes.

People are replacing vehicles at some standard rate, but growth of EVs is dependent on what percentage of new vehicle sales are gas versus electric. As long as people aren’t moving back to gas cars en masse, the growth of the segment can continue to rise, even if sales overall are slowing.

To be clear, macOS is “just” a windowing environment built on FreeBSD, which is itself FOSS Unix-like operating system. Most anything in userland that can be built on Linux can, ostensibly, be built on Darwin.

No, absolutely not. Even if you could buy the 30-50,000 parts individually, the markup alone would absolutely kill the feasibility, much less the ability to weld the frame components together, assemble the literal miles of wiring, or program the computers.

Even as a power user… You can’t.

And, in the 21st century, nothing on your computer is safe and private, least of all, browser extensions.

Even if an extension is safe today, with a tiny handful of notable exceptions, it will be”monetized”, or bought and sold to someone that will use it to install adware on your system, train their AI model, or steal your personal information.

There is no feasible defense to this for a layperson, other than absolute transparency in FOSS, and even that is under attack via flaws in the software supply chain.

The best a layperson can hope for is that major vendors care more about exclusivity and locking others out of their ecosystem, such that they are the only ones who have full control of your data (Apple, Google, Microsoft).

To red light, and only to the depth the dye penetrates, not yet tested on humans or below the surface of the skin.

Sure would be nice if they had a source, otherwise, this is just bs.

Sunk cost fallacy. Fuck Boeing, why should the government keep funding this?

Most ransomware groups are in NK, Russia, or China… UTC+8. US East Coast is UTC-4, West Coast is UTC-7. Do the math— this is just business hours for them.

It’s not like the malicious actors have stopped looking… If they are finding fewer vulnerabilities, it sounds to me they should be paying more.

Actively encouraging people to toss perfectly good hardware to fuel their subscription bullshit… and these guys weren’t even recently bought by a VC firm or anything?

This is already the case, it’s not a law, but contracts. You’re not in fact a party to the agreement, so you’re not beholden to the terms.

That’s a penis dot gif

Metroid prime pinball was incredible, especially with the use of the rumble pack. Underrated accessory for the DS.

Is Firefly not planning to compete for national security missions?

"My mother … would give us a hard time sometimes, and she would say to us, ‘I don’t know what’s wrong with you young people. You think you just fell out of a coconut tree?’ " Harris said with a laugh. “You exist in the context of all in which you live and what came before you.”

I’ll believe it when I see a shift in manufacturing.
