There is a detail that makes it possible: the absurd over sharing everywhere. If only everyone did not think to plaster everywhere their face with their selfies and decide to share everything everywhere, then maybe something like this would be a lot harder to implement (if possible on certain cases)
Quite frankly, considering the daily routine of a lot of people, this is probably the best thing to do. REST! Nobody will do it for you
I still prefer this version of the meme (which one day I will totally print it and put it on the back of my work laptop)
What a fantastic website not to visit
Mooltipass looks sick actually. I have my reservations regarding the ble part, but I would have to look into it more to understand it. Might get one to check around how well it works (once availability is there)
Curiously enough, I never heard of those. Do you happen to know good ones so I can further check?
Do you want to know the kicker? There are banks (yes, you heard me right) that straight up don’t allow more than 20 chars. 20!!! And they say you got to use the app for X things because it’s secure and shit (e.g.: use the app to 2FA credit card transactions). Meanwhile, does not allow you to add a yubikey for Fido authentication
When are we going to riot to have the same button to enter bios setup everywhere? For me personally grinds my gears every time I have a different machine, check the bios boot message like a hawk to get what key I need to press to enter setup (after a while you sort of know by vendor, but for me that should not even be a thing)
Thanks for taking the time to explain. I was trying to get my head around on how this works but could not understand much of it. A lot of people here are very much against systemd in all senses, but this sounds like a better approach. Even if it not done as systemd, makes more sense than checking files and getting elevated privileges for a scope and use guardrails everywhere
The way his eyes are striked out I thought for a second he had a red vr headset on him
At the time I think in most western Europe teletext was a thing. Imagine you had this menu on the TV with pages that have graphics of the Atari 2600, and you access by inserting 3 digits codes on the page, seeks the page for you, and presents what’s in there. This was, in a nutshell, teletext
If I had to know what was on TV this was the best way. The only other way for me was to check the paper with the TV listings or some magazine, and teletext was just infinite times better to check
At some point much later teletext even go a chat function. Was with SMS, extremely expensive.Soome people went ham on the relationships zone (and at some point there was also a 18+ zone for dirty talk during the night)
Want to kmow the weather, lottery results, TV channel program for the day and other info? Go to your TV and check the teletext
I think in this instance is a bit different, we are talking about reaction in this case to the supposed aggressor. I won’t lie I am guilty of this myself at times, but this can also be detrimental on many interactions (depending if we are talking about a stranger vs a friend or family member). To be clear, we as humans are hardwired to always prioritize our well being first, and sometimes that does contradict on how our behavior is expected. However, on every instance of these events we should be able to first think how we should react and then do something about it (on a flight or fight situation this does not exist, since at that point our reflexes and reactions prioritize our well being first no matter what). Meaning, for the most part we should try to behave in a way that de escalates a situation instead of escalating. And for my understating, this is where the kindness argument comes in. If a situation can be de escalated by not responding on the same way as the aggressor, you can potentially get out of the aggression situation to a more neutral ground.
PS: regarding your internalization bit, I cannot say what is the best way to live your life, but from my personal experience, having someone to just talk to about these subjects can be extremely valuable. Just by offloading in a constructive way to someone (meaning, no lashing out) can relieve a massive burden out of you (and as for me, I do not believe in the methods where there is not feedback, e.g.: diaries, but that is my take)
I am not from the US, but I do see in many places (if not all) this “us vs them” mentality. From what I know, specifically in politics, by giving a “face” to a specific problem and then lash out on that “face” to have more influence has been a constant lately (I believe the rise of the extreme right has a lot to do with this). In general, I am a firm believer emotional intelligence is in extreme short supply everywhere. We need to have more understanding how we should behave with ourselves and others. Society wise needs to change as well, but that is a tall order…
You are not wrong in your thinking. However ,if someones lashes at you, then you by turn lash out to someone else unrelated to your issues, and then by consequence that person lashes out again on someone unrelated, very quickly becomes a very long and complicated chain that you simply can’t stop from coming at you, but you can stop it from spreading once it reaches you. This has been debated for a very long time as the cycle of rage, which to be honest, I am not sure if we have a way out completely. Maybe over time we care more about emotional intelligence and make these problems less prevalent (but I would not bet on that)
For me was not grand parents but my dad was referring me ALL the time to other people that went to his workshop that I “know about computers” (almost is some sort of arcane knowledge). I remember once somebody approached me with the typical question:
I just left even before he finished the sentence. My dad later that day asked me why I was rude to someone (I know it was this guy). I just told him “imagine you know about cars and somebody asks you fix their fridge”. Didn’t even need to say more.
So for some people in my place, " knowing about computers " means arcane knowledge with nearly everything with a digital screen on it.
I was reading about it and I actually like a lot this solution’s principle. It reminds me a lot of puppet which I have seen before (for other kind of tasks) to orchestrate several computers. Big shame it works on windows though, since I have a server with docker on ubuntu server at this point and was not really looking forward to change that. But thanks for the suggestion, is for sure very interesting
That is for sure a good question, although I would say it would present limitations.
Let’s put it this way: Id photos are very standard. Front facing, until the neck, white lights, white background. Now lets say everyone’s photo got leaked (or used) and the only source of photos for a certain photo is the Id one only. I didn’t study the matching algorithms, but I will say that variation for a certain subject under different circumstances increase the matching possibilities. If by any chance you try to match someone live and the only source would be id photos, my guess is it would present a big error rate. Possibility could be fine tuned, not sure up to how much.
Now lets consider what we have today. For a single person, I will bet there are on average more than 15 photos of themselves somewhere available (for those chronically attached to stuff such as IG of fb) and a lot of the times tagged as well (and manually as well, there was a time on fb this was a big thing). With this amount of comparison points, I would say the matching for sure works a lot better
