We’re good with technology, so we’re VERY easily able to find our EXACT preferred porn for our EXACT fetishes. That snowballs.

Also, forget ALT-TAB. We Linux users LOVE having keyboard shortcuts for completely different desktops… for reasons.

Sorry, my eczema says “no”.

I mean… it’s enterprise software. That’s the MO for most of it.

Just did a quick look…

Need to use Chrome for work (No, UserAgentString changes don’t work for whatever fingerprinting nonsense they use). Trying to preempt this issue. Apparently when it downloads, it downloads into a folder called

~/.config/google-chrome/Default/OptGuideOnDeviceModel/

OptGuideOnDeviceModel directory doesn’t exist yet.

I created it, made root the owner, and removed all its write permissions. Ought to do it.

They can rent out or sell the building and recoup a measure of that investment. It’s nothing compared to the windfall they’ll get from selling snake oil on a military procurement contract.

As soon as people stop looking, Google will shut down the whole office. It’s how tons of huge companies get around “can’t lay off union workers”.

It doesn’t…

But the kind of people who are impressed by a vibrating knife are also likely to be impressed by the ability to update firmware. They don’t know what firmware DOES, they just know it’s modern.

Yeah.

downvote_hunter: “Do you SEE any downvotes?”

Ignotum: “No…”

downvote_hunter: “You’re WELCOME.”

I’d be into it.

It’s flooded for a reason, all.

“What Linux distro do you use?”

“Cowboy bebop live action”

I will avenge you!

You’re not wrong, but the immediate danger of the bad Christians is WAY more important right now than the feelings of the good Christians. If the good Christians don’t like it, they should get their fellows in line.

Timothy 4:16 – “Keep a close watch on yourself and on the teaching. Persist in this, for by so doing you will save both yourself and your hearers.”

There’s a clear duty to keep others from using scripture in corrupted ways. Silent good Christians are no better than protest non-voters.

As far as modern replacements for legacy systems go, I also was NOT happy with the concept of systemd, but after using it for years, I have to say that not only did it NOT break everything, it’s on the whole been pretty stable, reliable, and I even begrudgingly admit I like the syntax better.

WAYLAND on the other hand…

And a very happy May the 4th to you too, buddy.

It’s not about enforcing behavior. Not primarily. It’s about setting a precedent of what is important.

There’s a huge difference between “They didn’t let me drink underage but I did it anyway and became an alcoholic.” and “They explicitly let me drink and I became an alcoholic.”

The former AUTOMATICALLY comes with increased caution from even the people who break the rules. And more importantly, it completely removes the “I didn’t know” from the equation. Personal acceptance of the consequences of one’s actions is the first step to fixing it later, but with no rules, it’s easy to get bogged down in “Nobody stopped me. It’s THEIR fault.”

Critics don’t want to hear that young people whose brains aren’t fully developed yet have poorer impulse control than adults…
