There’s a user here doing just that but linking the artist and original in the post text content which started a flame war lol.

Its like comparing the Federation and the Empire from elite dangerous lol.

Empire elitists always talking about how bad the Federation is because of the insane capitalist abuse of power, and billions of humans subjected to horrific conditions.

And then Federation liberals talking about how the Empire literally has legalized slavery and a monarchy that runs on the death of humans.

Although technically there’s also the stereotypical Asian CEO who has a 15% discount on all ships and modules in his systems, so I guess that’s probably the successor to Ali Express lol.

That all being said, the post above this is an article trying to explain how China plating 78 billion trees was a bad idea lmao.

I didn’t mean for FOSS projects actually, I meant the bug bounties run by silicon valley giants lol.

FOSS bug reports are done either out of love or spite lmao.

Gamenative is absolutely sick but Android is also a PITA for handhelds these days. The kernels are always dated, the task management sucks, the UX sucks, and everything has to be ported into an APK with cruddy Android API mappings.

I have Rocknix dual boot on my AYN Thor, and it is so much easier to run native emulators on linux then to run the Android counterparts, which are guaranteed to be missing features or are out of date with upstream releases.

I don’t want to shame the user, but there was a recent discussion thread on npmplus where someone was using a compose file generated by an LLM and was confused why the hallucinated env variables weren’t working.

The kicker is that npmplus literally gives you a comprehensive and complete compose file with every optional setting commented out with a brief description, so you can just copy and edit to your desire.

Which of course the LLM decided to ignore anyway and come up with its own config options lol.

On a somewhat related note, I feel like bug bounties these days have become sort of under subsidized for well developed applications. All the medium and lower findings payouts are pretty fair, but lots of the high/critical bounties seem a lot less than what I would expect, especially compared to some of the huge prize pools I’ve seen at some conventions (upwards of 50k USD).

I have no idea how much they fetch on the black market, but it seems weird to me that something like an RCE receives less than 10k, which could easily be utilized by some APT to net millions in a more sophisticated ransomware attack.

Ask IT to make their DCs public facing /s

Really holding out on Motorolla to add their announced GrapheneOS support because I want my funni flip phone lol

It depends whether or not they left the DNS setting unlocked, which is actually highly likely.

Would have to use a public server, but it should in theory work.

Its actually so much funnier watching people compare the “blandness” of the TV to the book lmao.

Pakistan being in both the “mutilations and genocide” zone as well as the “dictatorship” zone because the line strikes right though Islamabad.

I’ve been trialing Vaultwarden for a while and while I do like the server sync setup and clean web access, the Bitwarden browser plugin is just okay despite being an “enterprise” solution. It misses probably about 20% of websites when creating a new account, forcing you to grab the password from the generator history and make a new entry manually.

KeepassXC is much better in that regard, and it’s almost as good as the default credential handler of Firefox, and it lets you set up a bunch of custom stuff to extend the functionality if you want. Plus it has some neat kbdx options aside from AES256.

Only downside is syncing, which I’m debating how I’ll deal with something better than syncthing on android (protocol is great, android makes it a PITA to have a background process if its not Google spyware).

You mean physically or the software input stuff?

Haven’t tried the steam deck, but I grew up on the DS Dpad so anything that can’t handle 8 direction input with minimal movement is a complete turn off for me.

I still haven’t figured out if Google’s flight search forwards view data similar to checking on the actual airline’s website because I’ve definitely seen price hikes occur in realtime, but I can’t tell if that’s because of constant rechecks close to the flight date, or just the static algorithm increasing the price as the flight date approaches.

Otherwise I’m kind of skeptical of how they allow Google to use such data and present it for free.

I was originally gonna post the Wikipedia info about this software because its actually fairly new, and only came out last year, but I found an infinitely more funny entry about the mascot:

The software’s loading screen is branded with a commissioned artwork of Anubis as a jackal-eared anime girl by the European artist CELPHASE.[1][8] The mascot is depicted with a hoodie, skirt and magnifying glass. Before the artwork was ordered, Anubis used an AI-generated placeholder image.[1]

The Anubis mascot is shown to all end users and cannot be altered in the software configuration.[1] The image’s feel may clash with websites that have more formal atmospheres, surprising or confusing users of those sites.[8] Altering the branding is an enterprise feature and Iaso has requested that operators not attempt to change it themselves unless they have made financial contributions to the project.[1]

Duke University, which has deployed Anubis for its digital archives, was “hesitant” to use it due to the mascot but has reached an agreement to use the software with custom branding.[1] Jamie Zawinski describes the mascot as “cutesey kawaii bullshit”.[11]

So literally hardcoded weeb builtin lmao.

EDIT: It’s $50 donation a month if you want the “official” enterprise version which gives you an easy overlay to change the HTML/CSS and uses some generic icons by default, but I’m sure anyone not into a jackal girl is more than capable of doing the same on the public image lol.

If you’re interested about the software history anyway, it involves a response to Amazon spamming the crap out of the internet with their web crawlers, probably including for mass AI data collection:

It’s not specified but I’m pretty sure that not many Americans actually care about Thailand as an expat location, they would probably dream of something in central or South America.

Now British on the other hand… you can just vaguely point at any country that ever so happened to touch the British empire lol.

I would much rather deal with the typical American tourist than a British tourist. There’s a difference between ignorance and arrogance.

Guys its finally the year of the linux desktop

Yeah I’ve said it many times that NTFS’s allocation algorithm is total ass, and the only reason Microsoft never bothered to make a successor FS is because SSDs eliminated the need for avoiding fragmentation.

ext4, ufs, and apple’s FSs all do a vastly superior job on HDDs, with ext4 not even beginning to fragment until you hit like 95% drive capacity.

My old comment somewhere in my history was something like:

Macroeconomics on its way to ruin Microeconomics in literally every aspect

Also hilariously the first thing you learn in marketing is that having the impossible better, cheaper, and indestructible product will not guarantee you successfully sell said product.

I’m too lazy to find my 3 year old comment but it went something like “AAA games are about as AAA as the mortgage bonds were in 2007”.

The era of the AAA gold standard is long gone. You no longer need a million dollar studio bankrolled by a big name publisher/console to make a groundbreaking AAA game.

Most if not all of those studios have been cost cutting for the past decade to maximize profit which is how we reached the current market of UE5 slop and DoA live service games.

There’s even an entire YouTube channel dedicated to showing how many current “AAA” titles have regressed in graphical optimization and quality from older game engines due to the lack of proper development, despite the advancement in consumer hardware.
