So, just to be clear, you're saying that the attack against Israel was actually a secret Jewish conspiracy to make Hamas look bad?

More nixOS development. It's the reproducible builds on the OS scale, one configuration file that will always generate exactly the same system when run, and you can update and rebuild from that file without restarting the system in most cases. This should make triangulating and fixing distro issues much easier, as well as making a distro easier to maintain from the user side.

I've seen this backfire horribly multiple times, so I don't think it's good advice. People aren't that simple.

In this case, many studios have already made plans to jump from Unity after the first announcement, so I'm sure there'll be some kind of "negotiated agreement" that's completely meaningless because people are already migrating away as fast as possible.

I think the fundamental protection is always going to be the firewall that blocks all incoming connections unless you explicitly open a port for a running server.

It's frustrating that the article doesn't have much information about the delivery method for this attack. Is it a remote connection, or you have to run it locally and it escalates privileges?

Huh, 13 hours per day and 78 hours per week. That's messed up. I wonder how much productivity people supporting this bill think they're going to get out of someone who's on hour 75 of that week? Or even hour 9 of that day.

I've started suspecting that a lot of people get through it by just avoiding their family... which, why get married then?

The government could have bought out the failed banks and nationalized them.

There's irony in the fact that Tate went to Romania specifically to evade international standards and laws.

All those folks in the 50+ age group that grew up with "Russia is enemy #1" are probably cycling through waves of intense work and prolonged orgasm.

The ones that haven't suddenly decided that Russia is our best friend all of a sudden for some reason that I still can't figure out. This is even considering that Russia was found to have been paying out bounties on dead American soldiers, or that they had people assassinated in the UK. Certainly it should be a disqualifier that Russia isn't a true Democracy and had Putin's political opponents jailed. Two Democracies won't directly start a conflict against each other, but that doesn't hold up between Democracies and non-Democracies.

My hope is that as Russia runs out of money and organization to fund overseas psyops, the sheen will wear off.

I paid approx $700 for a i5 with a Geforce 3050 and a 144hz screen. The RAM was weak but it was upgrade able so I got it up to 40GB, about $800 all up. It's an MSI.

The only downside is that it's such a pain to take apart and it's put together in a way where there's a very real chance of doing permanent damage when taking off the cover, since the case actually wraps around the ports and makes the motherboard bend when you apply any pressure to it. It came with 8GB of RAM out of the box, so basically unusable without the upgrade; still, I'm very happy with it atm.

Objectively, Youtube Premium is the one streaming service that I actually use... with youtube dlp because actually I can't stand the interface at all anymore; but even so, I use it and I feel ok about paying for it.

Not always. A lot of the time people will just lie about what they actually believe and why they believe it.

For example. People are going to say they support free speech because they believe in it as an important principle for a free society. No one is going to say they support free speech because actually they're a full on Nazi and this is the only way to get their message out to the public until they get the reigns and then they can dispense will al the "free speech" stuff and lock down the opposition.

Actually this applies to a lot of politics related stuff. For example politicians always talk about how tax breaks are going to stimulate the economy, none of them say "well my mate paid me a few million under the table to push this, even though 'trickle down' has never worked in the 100+ years that it's been around".

Security patches, Everyone says "We need to insure that all new software has up to date security and patches.", no one says "We want to collect every single bit of telemetry and integrate end to end DRM and the only way that can work is if the device is completely locked down so the users can't bypass or root it.".
