I’ve got no experience with it but at first glance it seems like a very positive direction for the project:
Collaborate, not Compete
We are proud of our community and closely interact with projects around it. If we build a platform feature that can be useful in an upstream project, we prefer to contribute it to that project, rather than keep it in the platform.
You don’t hear that often enough these days, everyone seems to be siloing information.
Steve Hughes did a pretty good bit on this - “Go play with your girly tits you Gaylord, I’m going to fuck a man.”
Counter point, set the ‘swappiness’ lower than the default 60. I’ve set mine to 30 and the system boots a lot faster. You could research and consider 10-20.
100% agree, that is a “totally for fun” exercise
For added funs run an SSH tarpit to fuck with the attackers, something like endlessh.
Can I install on a Samsung? I know computers and their bootloaders/OSs pretty well but phones are mostly a mystery
Reliance on security by obscurity is unacceptable, except when the obscurity method is the oceans entire fucking surface area.
Y’all don’t use poweroff?
Yep, and an intelligent discussion could have been had, if this had been the point of the article. Instead we got 4 paragraphs stating which people are saying this phrase and the rest discussing how much of a loser those people are.
I will acknowledge that is in there but he spends the entire article talking about how much of a loser you are for saying Ugh capitalism, then throws in those two sentences. That’s not an actual discussion, it’s the article equivalent of drawing the person you disagree with as the virgin loser and yourself as the chad.
I love the bit where they just attack the idea of someone saying “Ugh, capitalism” and perform character assassinations (on people they seem to respect?) rather than actually discuss issues in the world. Like yeah, virtue signalling exists. See the companies that ask to work with LGBTQIA+ people specifically in the month of June and no other. We know it happens. You’re doing the exact thing you’re currently complaining about.
“Y’all can’t quote the exact policies that are causing issues” - says the dude who complains about everyone in Brooklyn having ‘Ugh capitalism’ in their tinder bios. I thought we were talking real issues here? Hard hitting policy that needs to be changed, not horny men using a tactic.
Awful article really.
Ironically you’re the one who missed the joke here
Might be a rabbit styled one
Kinda sad to see some of the comments being assholes about OP clicking a link. Like, how do y’all think phishing works? People click. Get over it and just educate people on why not to. Explain the risks and how to spot the scam. Do any of you think this person would have clicked if they knew for sure? Or if they knew the issues that can occur? It’s super easy to sit in the comments and act holier than cos you knew and they didn’t.
Yeah it’s a scam. Most people get these quite often. Your Telecom company probably blocks these quite often. Someone else went through all the details of the scam like the fake domain, where to report etc.
Some of these links allow people to track who clicks. If you click once, they can provide data that you did and they can target you using other numbers and other scams. Might not be the case with this one, but they can also get your device details from accessing the site, using google analytics, ip data, geolocation stuff, etc. Or they ask you to allow notifications but the notifications are also scams.
General rule of thumb is don’t click when you don’t trust the source. If youre sceptical, just walk away for a bit. Cops, the government and postmen know where you live, and they won’t miss you. It is always okay to trust your gut, be it in a call, messaging platform or on the Web.
Hey dude, you had an opportunity to educate someone and instead you belittled them. As someone who works in cyber, please don’t do that. People get stigmatised against cyber and IT professionals and they stop trusting us. Users don’t know what we do, so be kind to them the way you should be kind to anyone learning new things. https://xkcd.com/1053/
Thank you for sharing that, could not find a link back to it. On an unrelated note I have a stitch
What’s the extension? Advertise to me dammit, I’m intrigued
Not defending windows 11 in any way, but on install, when you get to the “login to your microsoft account” screen, if you open command prompt (ctrl + f10 i think) and open the network utility - type ncpa.cpl, then you can find and disable your network adaptor. Close cmd and the network utility and click back. It will ask you to create a local user.
I’ve done this a couple of times and it hasn’t forced me to create a Microsoft account yet (I use a lot of windows vms). If this no longer works on win11, apologies, it used to.
Sounds like it’s the platforms that are the issue, not the kids. Would you believe that maybe the corporations havent been acting with ours or our children’s best interests at heart and should, shock horror, be forced into doing that? It’s almost like designing social media to be an ad casino shouldn’t have been allowed.
