You could definitely make 2e a little more user friendly by skipping THAC0 and just having big numbers be better like everything else.

So as another comment pointed out you don’t need to give your user account access to docker in this way, it’s an optional step, but one that I suspect many people do (since it’s part of the official docs).

What the LLM has done is silly, but completely possible. It climbed through the window that you left open.

But let’s jump to a different scenario, the ping command (on Linux). That’s a perfectly harmless command, right? You just want to say hello to another computer and see if they say hello back.

Except that historically the ping command was something called “setuid” which means when it ran it ran as root. It ran as root because in order for ping to work it has to create a special type of network packet that only root can create. But if you’re root you can run anything! So in theory ping opens a huge attack surface. If you have to worry about ping then is everything too complex to be manageable?

Luckily, as I said, this is a historical problem. The permissions ping needs have been moved to a specific capability and the command changed to utilize it and now ping can just run as a regular user without root privileges. But you can’t just make that change overnight. It takes a lot of time and effort.

So could the same be done for docker? Maybe. A rootless version of docker already exists. If you actually wanted to do what the LLM suggested, that wouldn’t work with a rootless docker, at least not without a bunch more configuration (and even then maybe).

So is security hard? Yes. Is it impossible? No.

That’s fair. So it’s more like you already have a door on the second floor, that door is unlocked, and a ladder in your garage.

In this case the LLM knows about the ladder, but you forgot about it because you’re talking about the fridge on the first floor.

Sure. So we don’t know the original question but we can see that changes were made to SDDM, which is basically your login screen. So the original request was probably something like “Can you change my login screen to do something cool?”

Now, the configuration for the login screen is located in /etc and requires administrative privileges to change.

The query was run by the user account and not an admin account. Typically to run something as admin you use the command sudo which will interactively ask for a password and then, if allowed, you can run the command as an admin.

However the tool docker, in order to function properly, has the ability to run commands as administrator and won’t prompt for a password.

So basically what happened here is instead of asking for a key to unlock the front door to your house, it installed a new door on the second floor, went through that door, rearranged your refrigerator, went back out the door it created, and then patched up the hole perfectly.

I can only assume anyone who doesn’t like it hasn’t played it. It’s a platformer racing game, which is rare, but excellent.

They actually added a bunch of new default skins a few years ago bringing the total to nine, Alex, Ari, Efe, Kai, Makena, Noor, Steve, Sunny, and Zuri.

But I’m guessing he’ll just also be Steve, but British.

…Matt Berry, who is also coming back for the sequel. They suggested that he’ll appear in live-action form this time after lending his iconic voice as Nitwit in the 2025 film. Berry added that he’s “not allowed to tell you who exactly” he’s playing, but a joke about a shirt that “Steve would not be wearing” may contain a few clues for fans.

Another Steve? Herobrine?

And importantly Matt Berry as… maybe Steve?

Based on the video it seems to be shooting with a bunch of cameras/angles, and then in the editing room just rapid firing between different angles/cuts. They use the classic “Taken” scene of having rapid fire cuts of Liam Neeson jumping a fence.

This video is highlighting the importance of planning your shot and having proper composition.

I definitely agree that some people take things too dramatically. People love to say something is a 10/10 masterpiece or (more commonly) the worst movie ever made. There is plenty of nuance and in between ratings, and it’s also fine to judge a film overall by what it was trying to be.

I think it’s fair to discuss and criticize films, even if they are “just for kids”. Plenty of children’s films have a deeper story or teach a lesson. Look at Illumination’s first film, Despicable Me. The film is full of heart, but it’s also got comedy.

It’s also fine to enjoy something and criticize it. I enjoyed many different scenes from the Super Mario Galaxy movie and I think any Mario fan will enjoy watching it. But is the movie ultimately forgettable? Also yes.

I’m four episodes into Spider-Noir at the moment and I’m really enjoying the older Spider-Man. The closest we has prior is probably Peter B Parker in the Spider-Verse films. We did see older Spiders-Man in No Way Home but with a limited screen time.

I’d be happy if Tom wants to age into the role, but I agree that older Spider-Man is a fun new take.

So I agree but I do take issue with “forgettable”. Grogu has huge character growth, ending with Din teaching him to drive, but also the complete 3rd act of Grogu taking care of Din. I’m not going to forget his whole adventure. While I’m confident this film is just an adaptation of a series, that whole “episode” felt uncut.

Plus if this series wants to lean into it the death of the Twins is potentially huge. A direct assault by the New Republic against Nal Hutta, eliminating a whole family, and the one heir taking the side of the New Republic? That shifts things dramatically.

I do agree the film overall is action heavy, so the lore is sparse by comparison, but the world did more forward. It’s forgettable, but only if the series going forward chooses to ignore it.

Sure, in the same way a hot dog is a sandwich (or taco).

Disney+ used to focus on “Making of” documentaries for all Marvel/Star Wars shows that premiered there for a little while. They usually released a week after the last episode.

I think a lot of big shows now have moved into the shorter “Inside the Episode” immediately after it airs, or just make a podcast that can be easily shared/clipped on social media.

Of course they still rarely do deleted scenes or bloopers, which I’d like to see more of.

Yes. I started using it years ago and have been unable to exit ever since.

But honestly related to your question, I started learning to use vim exactly because when I started to learn and use Linux I was often stuck in situations where that was the only thing available.

I don’t use DoorDash but occasionally order from Taco Bell. Every time I order I watch the car arrive at Taco Bell and wait about 20 minutes before actually picking up my order and then delivering it.

Additionally I know UberEats used to (and maybe still does) offer cheaper delivery if you pick a restaurant another driver was already heading to. (I haven’t used UberEats in years because I found them less reliable.)

Ironically if a restaurant did all the deliveries themselves they would have all the information about how best to optimize delivery. Maybe all the delivery companies can find a way to share this information to minimize travel and maximize speed of delivery.

This is basically the “Nintendo strategy”.

Nintendo games are only ever released on Nintendo systems. These games almost never go on sale, if they do it’s 5 years later and only $10 off.

It sorta sucks, but it clearly works.

It’ll be interesting to see if Sony can pull this off as well.

I’ve put a lot of hours into this game, but haven’t played in 8+ years so maybe it’s changed a lot. But! There is A LOT to explore and play and I suggest doing that first. But! Unless they’ve added a bunch of explainer gameplay/tips the you’ll need to eventually look up some stuff online.
