Depends on the email. Sometimes it’s needed.
I can spend 10-20 min writing an email that basically says “no your idea is dumb and won’t work” to customers in such a way where by the end of it they agree with me.
It can take a bit of effort but with high stakes communication it’s needed.
If you’re just sending an email to your teacher or whatever it doesn’t really matter.
It matters though. Like in Germany telegram is associated with hard right wings groups. Telling someone you use telegram makes them assume that you are a part of hard right ideologies.
It’s a shame as the telegram app is really snappy. You always have to say that you are on telegram but are not right wing. Even then people can be suspicious.
Text speak mostly came from typing on dumb phone number pads to enter text. Like if you wanted to type “hi” you would have to enter “4-4 pause 4-4-4” As you might expect 5 putting presses with a pause between some of them just to say “hi” got painful. Thus the shortening.
Text messages were always charged per message. But each message was limited to 160 ascii characters or less if you were using other encodings. You could send 1 character or 160 characters but it cost 20 cents (at least where I grew up) either way.
This is all separate from l33t speak which is a whole different thing.
Very much so.
They are paying for the service and expect appropriate treatment.
Companies generally frown upon their data being taken. It’s only consumers who use “free” services that really suffer from this. After all, if you’re not paying you are the product.
It’s only weird because it’s not CarPlay or Android Auto. As soon as you have one of those it suddenly becomes nice and useful.
Then it’s a nice big touch screen that has everything you need from your phone.
I mean the whole point of doing the mega rewrite to gtk3 was specifically to enable such forward looking progress.
What they did in the 3.0 release was, largely, a massive modernization of a dinosaur code base.
Now that it’s done it makes sense to do a UI overhaul. Before 3.0 it made no sense to even try, now it does.
To be fair this is the opposite of rolling over. Rolling over would be adding the back door.
Not your admin but I suspect you can just go ahead and make the community. It’s part of the default lemmy kit.
TIL. Very cool.
Solaris was beautiful. But it could have been more secure if it had Mandatory Access Controls. One compromised app running as root, or one privilege elevation exploit and without mandatory access controls you’re done.
Even with user contained exploits without MAC you expose way too much.
Edit: Turns out Solaris had a MAC enabled variant called Trusted Solaris! I could have seen myself using this if Sun was still around and OpenSolaris had panned out.

In conclusion Solaris was not junk.
I like the fact that it is a solid mandatory access control system. With SELinux you are substantially more safe than without.
For example. Let’s say you are running a compromised version of OpenSSH. Threw a XZ style back door a hacker gets in as OpenSSH (which runs as root).
Without SELinux the system is fully owned. With SELinux the attacker can only access what OpenSSH needs to access even if they have root. They can’t just chmod files and folders wherever. That means your photos and application data are still secure. With the pre written SELinux policies this applies not just for OpenSSH but for every piece of software installed on your system. Everything is limited to the exact folders, ports, and system capabilities that it needs and no more. Even stuff like seperate websites being served under Nginx. You can have Nginx-subgroup-1 and Nginx-subgroup-2 where the applications can’t see each other even though they are being run as the Nginx user.
I don’t trust any Linux distro without this security layer.
It’s a little difficult to learn and master, but it’s totally worth it if you care about security.
Redhat put out a comic about it a few years ago explaining the basics. https://people.redhat.com/duffy/selinux/selinux-coloring-book_A4-Stapled.pdf
Thank goodness for selinux. Without it Linux would not be a secure OS.
And no AppArmor does not do the same thing. You need the mandatory part for mandatory access controls to work.
Kind of the opposite actually. PTX is in essence nvidia specific assembly. Just like how arm or x86_64 assembly are tied to arm and x86_64.
At least with cuda there are efforts like zluda. Cuda is more like objective-c was on the mac. Basicly tied to platform but at least you could write a compiler for another target in theory.
This seems really pedantic. Recommending 9gag because someone does not want to see constant bad news is just a but out there.
I mean they’re synced super fast to every file system. It works really well. Wayyy wayyy faster than nextcloud too. You can access them on that file system. If you want to “directly” access them you can always use the fuse driver. This being said there isn’t really a need to because all the files just are synced to your file system.
I mean Americans do a lot of dumb stuff. And I don’t think we need to make every thread American centric.
True if all of your knowledge of religion comes from pop culture I can see how someone might see it that way.
Like in Family Guy or other Seth Rogan shows Satan, Jesus and “God” are all depicted as equals bickering.
Thanks for your thoughts here. They’re interesting.
I’m guessing you don’t come from a region that has been historically Abrahamic. I’m secular myself but it’s interesting that you would throw Satan in there with the rest.
Talk about living in your head rent free.
But for the record I feel the same way. If it was a for profit company I would think there is a problem. But a non profit in a reputable legal system doing a donation drive for a good cause isn’t really “sus” at all.
Different customers are dumb in different ways and different customers have different personalities.
If I sent a template email I would probably offend most of my customers. Lol.
