  • Or torn apart from spaghettification

    Shouldn’t happen with supermassive black holes because their event horizon is beyond the spaghettification limit.

    That really isn’t a property of black holes but just gravity interactions between two massive objects. If the moon came too close to earth it would break apart due to similar effects of gravity at one side being much higher than on the other.

    With objects like stellar mass black holes the effect would just be experiencable at human scales.

    Now I’m hungry for spaghetti.











  • They are the only monopolist selling completely open devices and heavily investing into open source software. As it stands now the console, VR and phone market is dominated by locked down devices that depend on the benevolence of their manufacturers.

    If they made a phone that was as open as the Steam Deck and then went power hungry and wanted to use their position to fuck everyone up you could still put another OS on the phone and use it without a single piece of Valve influence.

    I want them to make more hardware because they can not dictate how I use it.

    My Steam Deck is not running SteamOS but OpenSUSE. I am mainly playing games from other stores. This would not be possible with an Xbox, PlayStation or Switch.

    So yes, I can very much live with that kind of monopoly in the hardware space. And when they enshittify like every big corporations does I won’t cry but enjoy my awesome devices that will remain usable forever.





  • The script would place its own version of sudo in your $PATH and wait for you to enter the password. Then it has it and can do what it likes with the information.

    Then it’d just tell you “wrong password” and forward you to the real sudo so that you can keep on working like nothing happened.

    Edit: Or even better, pass your own commands to take over the whole system to the real sudo.
