I believe its based on a group of people on twitter who wrote stuff like “putting on his jumper and smelling his colon”. Similar humor to the yahoo answers “am I pergenat” stuff

This is the real goal. How far can a human and their exoskeleton/cybernetic modifications jump? Adding this to the science wishlist right after hoverboards

So we’re bashing the people who installed Linux now if they used something else first? What, if they’ve ever used windows we should send them to the Gulag? Wtf is this take? Like hey you dumb fucking person who finally figured out how to get away from the corporate software you were taught to use in high school, you are FuCkInG iGnOrAnT for putting yourself in this position in the first place!!1!

Let’s not talk about the multi billion dollar industry spent locking people into an ecosystem from day 1, because blaming high schoolers and teenagers for not switching to an OS best know for running web servers is an awesome use of our time.

Speaking from experience: no one thinks about operating systems as much as we do. We are not the norm. Most people don’t want to use the computer to begin with, but conceded its faster than hand writing everything. The guy who paved my driveway will never install Arch, because he only uses the computer to get paid. My office’s cleaner doesn’t understand how computers can even be unsafe.

When I went to primary school we had windows computers. Same thing in high school. In uni, because I did comp sci, I used Linux and found it was better for me. 350 people went through first year with me. Most of them continued using Windows, although a good chunk used Mac too. Like 10 of us used Linux. It is easier not to switch and that’s not going to change. So can we stop having a go at people for not having the same interests as us, because that’s the only difference.

Ask a new user, the unsurprising answer is “ez pleazee”.

Yeah so targeting individuals or specific organisations is pretty hard. It sounds dumb but how do you get someone’s phone number if they don’t give it to you? Its hard unless you’re determined tbh which most people aren’t.

Most hackers setup watering hole style attacks, or use phishing which is roughly the same concept. Basically they cast a wide net and see what they can grab, like the browser credentials of Debra from accounting who knows everything about compound interest and nothing about opening an .exe file in an email. There are some big game hunting groups, and the LinkedIn breach made some waves (see the fappening), but your run of the mill discord-as-a-c2 style hacker isn’t going after rich people.

Someone “hacking a phone” likely put a kitchen scale iPhone app on the app store, which when first opened asks for permissions for microphone, camera, text messages, contacts and file storage, and sends all that information to Argentina for a week or so until their app gets banned.

Also, the most likely person to hack your phone seems to be someone in your household, abusive parent or spouse sorta thing. Most common devices to get hacked are laptops, usually windows. Its just kinda hard to hack a phone. Unless you know a lot about compressed image formats and the iPhone messages app apparently because NSO made like 5 zero days in a row out of that.

Thanks for sharing. Super interesting read

sudo nala upgrade

Kind of a fond/humanised name for chat gpt me and some colleagues use. We’ve dubbed it our idiot friend, ‘Gippers’. Its commonly wrong and there’s a group of colleagues who trusts it and a group who doesn’t. I think we anthropomorphised the machine a little, and also its maybe a little cringey.

Depending on definitions, I’m either a millennial or gen-z. Some of my team mates are awesome and know everything there is to know about computers. Others have knowledge gaps that make me question whether they went to uni. They’re also the same people who commonly don’t know how to find answers to things. They’re also the people proclaiming the loudest about the greatness of Gippers

I play PlateUp with a friend, we started on remote play while I wasnt sure if I liked the game. It had issues where if the window lost focus, I’d crash and the entire game session was lost. Anyway, I bought the game and have never had any issues since. Its super fun!

Highly recommend this wargame challenge from over the wire. It makes you think and also feels like hacking. Youre just using linux commands to find passwords but the skills transfer to heaps of usage across systems. It can be a little beginner-ish though.

Can the propaganda have more pixels next time please and thank you, how am I meant to understand the wishes of glorious leader if I can’t even make out the words?

Was just going to say I prefer Nicole

Been seeing whoosh creep in here and I downvote where I see it. It’s not funny, it’s just annoying

My family and I did a 21k hike over the filming location for Mount Doom in new Zealand a few years ago. We got fish and chips for dinner afterwards as well and I think it’s one of the best foods for after a long hike. That looks awesome e

Also living just a bit north of Victor Harbour you’ve reminded me I should go down there again soon. Haven’t been for a couple of years now.

Came here to say this. Maybe we’re too silicon valley and she’s too whatever the other valley is in valley girl.

Are they the same valley? Am I having a stroke?

I had a snytuingnin once but luckily my doctor removed it.

Traditionally, the word professional is usually reserved for someone who sits behind a desk, engaged in a “career” job. The word has changed but it was previously reserved for the careers you can only get after university, a “learned” profession.

I say that because many think of waiters as a lesser profession, not a skilled job.

One of my favourite restaurants closed recently but the staff there were definitely talented and had learned all the right communication with each other and patrons, they could answer any questions and knew how to avoid common grievances.

You can be skilled at anything, and I’m constantly amazed by the little things people do to make others have a good time.

Either this guys an impatient asshole or they made this up. Either way it’s not cute, it’s fucking annoying and is just a little control freak energy. Her not being able to work out its control freak energy means he’s probably with the right person.

Boot: Yes, the windows boot drive (an old 128GB SATA SSD), but I hit F11 on boot adn selected USB to boot to that to do the install just like with Pop. But again the install worked fine at least on the older LTS version of Ubuntu. And it booted on USB correctly with the later version too, just as soon as it went graphical it b0rked.

So do you get a grub menu at all? Is there the Plymouth (green, grey and white text only) loading screen? What does booting look like? I need more detail here because I’ve had driver issues and this is sounding more like a boot issue. Would it be possible to remove other hard drives during a test installation then add them back afterwards? Totally understand work and life comes first and all but if you get the opportunity, I’ve got a hunch.

I’m thinking we need a matrix chat or something to send images and details on lol
