So it’s basically to stop various glowware from calling home by detecting socks and bypassing it to use another network interface. Neat.

Oh yeah totally, I just meant more as a best case scenario where you have very well documented very specific functions with a very limited scope that are reused throughout.

Honestly I find this drive towards efficiency and automation many professional programmers have quite admirable.

While I studied programming, I think I just lacked this drive altogether, and I also really loved computers and to some degree I liked un-abstracting processes a lot more than I loved abstracting them, also due to my at-the-time untreated ADHD. When reasonable, I always pick a more manual way of doing something to maintain this control and understanding of system state.

I think cybersec was a great fit for me because I just found it much more stimulating to focus on the <1% of cases rather than the >99% of cases.

There is also just something very alienating when you work in large teams where each dev only contributes a small component, a lack of knowledge about the system is not only a good thing there but an expected paradigm to create reusable code, and it’s a good one I think, just not actually all that fun to write for me personally.

If I have the brains for it, I’d love to try professional embedded at some point. Maybe it’s something I could be good at.

I state my opinions on the internet without adherence to any particular side or filter for pacifying and self-censoring what I genuinely believe or facts that I know with certainty and back it up with reason, logic and evidence.

IRL this seldom annoys anyone unless I’m overly impolite but I try to be polite generally.

I think the author identifies the correct issues but this isn’t an argument against passkeys as a security measure rather their inevitable use by corpos for data harvesting. I hate it too tbqh I’d rather get hacked on some disposable email account with a random username than have to hand over my PII, money and mortal soul to Google for extra sec. At work it’s a different level of shit entirely. We have SSO behind SSO behind SSO, the inept overseas coworkers don’t understand arch of the company they got merged with nor the concept of legal compliance or ISO, they’re running the entire sec programme into the ground to bring it under AD in a way that directly compromises their AD when nothing in any of our orgs even uses windows in any way except theirs where they drink M$ coolaid. If this job wasn’t so comfortable I’d be depressed just thinking about it.

Clearly non-functioning in this case as the wrong has been started already

Damn. Rest in peace.

Yeah I’d wish for a better alternative but fundamentally any society needs some way to isolate wrongdoers to prevent them from doing wrong and it’s the only option we presently have.

No one, it’s cuz I cut that shit off before it ever gets to that point. Sorry not sorry but it’s the system we live in. As an LGBTQ adult I never ever speak to children and any interactions would get reported to the police. Better safe than sorry.

Tell your wife, her parents, and anyone else who will listen, then call the cops and complain of harassment and get a restraining order on her.

Idc where you live but there’s many places where lesbians in this situation will be treated as men and you don’t want it to ever get to that point.

She’s a teenager, teenagers who seek to ruin the lives of adults should rot in prison for life, they are not dumb, they know what they’re doing, especially if their way of doing so is abusing their victim status under the patriarchy to their own advantage.

I think communists and socialists and anarchists and broadly leftists do argue for cooperatives and workplace democratisation.

The reason they maybe don’t do it enough is because those businesses in our present environment will get beaten by exploitation mostly.

Co-operatives by nature will sacrifice profit for employee conditions because they have more stakeholders (and shareholders) to be accountable to. Lower wages through exploitation will tend to reduce costs and allow the capitalist businesses to drop prices, and outcompete opponents and secure more investment capital due to higher market penetration, which will allow them to invest in their business, incl. Marketing and product development, and outcompete the more fair sustainable business, until they corner the market and can jack up.the prices and bleed consumers dry and push for laws/lack thereof to exploit employees and cut costs further.

What is this?

What is this?

Same here. UK is done for.

KDE is getting better and better. I was a die hard gnome but I’m rooting for y’all now. Using KDE daily on every Linux system I own.

Lol I’m not offended dw, was just a bit shocked that people make it a routine, because for me to go through the effort of doing that, it would mean i actually need my phone to be fully charged every day all day.

I genuinely have no clue where my phone is most of the time and even being medicated for ADHD I don’t see any need to spend precious focused hours on the effort if would take to establish any kind of routine around it.

No? I don’t even know where my phone is until I need it. I don’t use it much.

Who tf charges a phone EVERY DAY???

Mfer do y’all live on your phone?

I charge my phone like once every few days at most, closer to once a week and I don’t run anything, it’s only ever used for music playback and store payment when I’m running errands, banking stuff or authenticator for work.
