Sweet. Welcome to the cult of Debian.
We (Debian users and contributors) are inevitable. Our quiet satisfied computing cannot be stopped, only delayed.
We should consider getting some fancy robes and a few club houses, though. The only thing that can make Debian better is cookies and tea.
Would you trust this “wallet” tho lol
Hell no. I just kicked Google out of my life for the same crap. Ugh. But I’ll laugh too, because it’s either that or cry.
I wouldn’t trust them as a lone voice on something, but if other groups come to the same conclusion, sure.
As a Privacy nerd, I agree with the conclusions in the article, for what it’s worth. We do see a lot of “privacy” law proposals lately that are anything but.
I don’t think things will get better, on this front, until the average person better understands privacy rights and risks.
I can’t say I’m shocked. But I am disappointed.
You’re not alone in that.
I also reread your comments sometimes with a deep sense is satisfaction.
(I’m kidding. Although I did check your comment history to make sure you weren’t a monster before even making that joke.)
True. I don’t post the license prominently, but my comments are Creative Commons, Attribution, Share Alike
Okay, I’m actually kidding about misunderstanding which bit of my comment your reply was to.
Yes, it’s great that MineTest is open source! And the mod community is impressive.
My comments are pure Internet gold. I’m actually only here to read my own comments. It helps me remember how brilliant and humble I am.
My posts help people discover MineTest. It’s pretty great, and it’s free.
Delightful!
“Of course, on the system I administrate, vi is symlinked to ed. Emacs has been replaced by a shell script which 1) Generates a syslog message at level LOG_EMERG; 2) reduces the user’s disk quota by 100K; and 3) RUNS ED!!!”
Gave me a giggle. That 100k loss has got to hurt for a user who still tries to run ‘vi’ on a classic system, I imagine.
Edit:
Another gem:
“Ed is generous enough to flag errors, yet prudent enough not to overwhelm the novice with verbosity.”
The ‘ed’ editor was designed for high latency networks. I would pull on that thread. That is, in your shoes, I would read up on ‘ed’ and related tools.
Lunchtime, doubly so!
Ooh. Good reference! Nice!
will tell you if a game supports the controller you currently have plugged in
Today I learned that. It never came up for me since I do most of my game shopping on my phone. That could be really helpful later.
Thank you!
Absolutely.
I’ve always thought those rules were mostly inspired by Aaragorn, of course. I think he’s also why we keep getting a ‘ranger’ class that never works quite right if balanced, or is overpowered.
Sure, but you know what beats all three: two swords and an axe.
Richard Simmons rocks at least as hard as that flaming skeleton, in his own unique ways.
But they were Nazi dogs.
I had this exact conversation, and used this argument, with my own parents.
It must have worked. I was allowed to play Wolfenstein, anyway.
I would love to see the certificate authority model become less and less important.
“Can you write a small check to an organization we are all pretty sure isn’t outright malicious?”
Is a surprisingly good pragmatic protection against malicious SSL certificates, I will admit.
But there’s significant flaws with the approach - notably power dynamics and creation of large scary targets for bad actors.
I would love to see CA acceptance move from PASS/FAIL to a dynamic risk score, that is based on my own browsing behavior (calculated solely within my browser).
If I spend 90% of my time browsing domains at example(dot)mycorporation(dot)com, there’s a great chance that anything new signed by the same authorities can be automatically trusted.
It would still put a lot of power in the hands of Amazon and Google, but would reduce that power in scale to the amount of services they’re actually providing to each user.
That’s heartbreaking. Radio Shack was so fun, while it lasted.
Yeah. I’ve had mentors regail me of other tools they used alongside ‘Ed’, but I wasn’t listening very attentively. Hopefully that’s something that can be dug out of the history of the Internet.
I would definitely choose the old reliable stuff over something new and fancy, if I had this use case.
