Hole up! Doesn’t the existence of clothing imply nudity? Covering the nudity is what clothing is for! I feel like they hadn’t thought that through all the way.
Sure, now which pre-existing piece of xmpp based software checks all the feature boxes as noted by both Signal adherents and myself regarding Session? Are you implying the lay user code their own? If that exists you could have just linked to it rather than engage in whatever this is.
I will preface this with, I may be wrong, but as I understand it xmpp is just a protocol. One that, unless it’s been revised, imparts no encryption at all. Signal, and Session, are full architectures that enable all of the afrementioned features from my initial post including server and client.
Use Session instead. Open source, E2E encrypted, onion routed, no phone numbers. https://getsession.org/
Audited too. https://blog.quarkslab.com/resources/2021-05-04_audit-of-session-secure-messaging-application/20-08-Oxen-REP-v1.4.pdf
I get the joke.
But related real talk phones get got a lot. They won’t need to steal your phone they’ll just hack it like every other computer on the planet.
You don’t have to look much for the evidence.

Deployed to Iraq cross leveled to a different unit. One of the staff sargents at this unit, who I didn’t know at all, just had a super creepy touch children type look and vibe about him. I knew some shit was going to go down with this guy.
There were two privates, both super young like 18-19, married to each other in this unit. Turns out he slept with the wife and it came out right as we were getting into country.
The Army pretty much straight disappeared that Staff Sgt. I didn’t see him again for like 8 months. Not even around the billeting. I wish I had said something before all that went down. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
6·2 years agoNot if you install Firefox from Flatpak. ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ
Flatpak steam can do all that. You just have to learn to control the flatpak sandbox. There are CLI commands of course or you can install Flatseal which is a real nice gui that lets you control the sandbox for each individual flatpak app. https://flathub.org/apps/com.github.tchx84.Flatseal
Just add whatever drive/directory/mount point in the filesystem path for Steam in flatseal and Steam can see it.
1·2 years agoOh yeah, you nailed it. Clearly worked for the OP… I also didn’t put a value on said opportunity cost. Perhaps it’s greater than $250 depending on the individual. Subjective as opportunity cost can sometimes be. Not trying to ascertain or consider it is at best just short sighted, or perhaps at worst ignorant. Cheap junk, effectively rented according to the EULA, subject to the whims of the rights holders, is never the way.
Best Buy does this all for you for $80, assuming the person is in the US. I expect this is available most places for similar prices though. You can get anything from a BT only unit for $20 online to a much nicer unit with Android Auto/iOS’s thing. While the initial cost might be higher the opportunity cost of your thing being disabled is almost certainly much higher, as this thread’s existence seems to support. $150-$200 well worth it in the long run to do a head unit upgrade.
As monstrous as it is yyyy-mm-dd could also be misconstrued by said unfortunate Americans as yyyy-dd-mm because…well…yeah. As noted elsewhere this dd mmm yyyy format also works nicely in written and verbal communication as 12th of august where no one ever is going to write or speak to each other twenty twenty three august twelfth. So again, more universal and less ambiguous.

Lot of talk of numerics only. The problem there is knowing what format the information is in since clearly there are 3 possibilities. Without context and during certain parts of the month you’re hosed. Best to remove ambiguity and go with the alpha numeric format.
DD MMM YY (or alternatively YYYY)

Ambiguity gone.

A Tek chip was the delivery mechanism for the VR drugs from the William Shatner authored TekWar books.
I see your point. I did not catch the proper context given your comment prior. That’s my bad. Thanks for pointing that out and being gentle with me. Disregard my comment. Going to leave it in case someone who does think that way happens upon it.
Getting tired of this smaller target narrative. On desktop, maybe. We don’t know for sure since most Linux doesn’t carry telemetry and one ISO download doesn’t mean one install.
Also, Linux runs some insanely high percentage of the Internet (server, VM, container), IOT and mobile. For every individual who might own a hand full of computers there are 10’s, or perhaps hundreds, of Linux servers out there doing tasks for them. Virus and malware don’t only target desktops. There’s literally no larger target.
I mean if you consider Windows a virus, by extension…yes? /s 😜
Ogio. I have 5 or 6 bags including some luggage. All have held up for 10s of years. Recently the luggage (7 years old) had a zipper break and Ogio just replaced it no questions asked.
