It’s what we call the things Yanks and North Koreans use to measure weight since ‘ton’ is assumed to be a metric ton for the rest of the world.

(Yes, I’ve seen the Canadian weights and measures flowchart but this is still a funny jab)

• Akrites establishes a shared Security Incident Response Team (SIRT) and a single, standardized Coordinated Vulnerability Disclosure (CVD) process, built on confidentiality-first principles and industry-standard tooling.

Soo XKCD 927?

reams of fresh inputs.

Thank your “journalists” who “graduated high school” for their interesting take on mass nouns.

At least until TACO Tuesday…

So, like 95% of us?

…and gen-x will not be affected by zoomie acceptance…

Have we ever considered not using really bad installer paradigms until they’re fixed? It seems like alternatives are right there, but still people are choosing the worst idea and running with it.

I say this as someone who worked Unix and Linux security for an OS vendor – better alternatives are there.

“ferroelectric fluid” sounds very sandpapery to plastic housings.

Mr Doctorov has a nice life where he needs to make no tough decisions. I envy a life without least-worse voting and other harm-reduction efforts, where one can write what he dreams and people will happily consume it.

That’s a very excellent response. Greetings, fellow greybeard. I miss apt-rpm.

I don’t use laptops.

I have some dell optiplex and poweredge in the home-lab.

These machines are ported through a KVM, and I’m using a desktop on proxmox where the GPU, mouse, keyboard, sound and cam are ported into the fedora VM via proxmox from there the KVM connects.

I play WoW and zero-k, but the voice chat isn’t working in WoW.

Ew. But, are they all statically linked and can’t share pages for libs in memory? They’re all boating their own space without any kind of sharing? Pardon me and how dumb I am about windows, as I’m intentionally just a reluctant pedestrian on it since 3.1 .

Shouldn’t Halifax Water have known ahead of time that the tank was approaching end of life and prepared for it?

We’ve both driven the roads. I’d joke that ‘planning’ isn’t really what they do there, but really it’s the population: low, spread out, and those two things kill infrastructure budgets.

So they probably knew about it and were magically hoping to find the money earlier.

I wonder if Microsoft will shift direction back to consumer friendlier practices if more people keep swapping

If Microsoft needs to now compete, I’d like to see them get competitive. But it’s been like 30+ years since they needed to actually compete, and I’m not sure they remember how.

It’s weird how supply chains work, and how design changes are at the very start of a very long process that makes changing the design now a very costly, risky thing.

Um, oh fuck no.

The reams of personally-identifiable information that will leak is insane.

We’re not allowed to have Siri and Alexa listening when we’re working, lest a stray word on a phone call from the home office risks a privacy breach.

Woo! The common wealth of Intel.

Honest opinion for developers; use Qt’s QML, ts highly portable, it can run in any Linux mobile base (Ubuntu Touch, SailfishOS, and KDE use it as the UI library), best example is Amazfish, and Quickddit, you can also use any language you want, although if you want to be minimal, QML allows in-file JavaScript, but there are plenty of bindings for Qt.

Dude. Breathe. When you don’t write pauses - periods - into what you’re saying, all that comma splice can sound like the kid talking about his favourite kind of dinosaur.

Otherwise, an excellent opinion.

PCLinuxOS.

As a valid, working, systemd-free, SLSA-4-capable distro, it’s an important example of diversity and security.

I mean, maybe the baby didn’t understand the movement, so --yeet!–

Skippy is trying to save the world, you know.
