Blocking Linux probably didn’t help those numbers

Nerdvpn isn’t working for me, direct link for those that are okay with Youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-zjzBbdl7hk.

Out of the loop, what happened to kbin?

People treat it like a mistake but not be able to use the mouse while it’s plugged in is the entire point of the design. Right or wrong the Apple designers thought a cord drag was a bad experience and designed to prevent it.

They probably looked at their target audience and realized there was a certain percentage of folks that would just leave the mouse on the cord 24/7 and wanted to prevent that.

The monopoly position helped for sure but I think it’s glossed over that at one point Internet Explorer was simply the best web browser on the market. It’s was only after years of mismanagement by Microsoft that it gained the reputation it has now. But there was a point in the late 90s early 2000s where Netscape was a super buggy mess and Internet Explorer was the best browser on the market.

That was true for Chrome as well, when that first hit the market it was a light and amazing browser. There were a lot of technology savvy early adopters for Chrome.

The problems is what constitutes as politics is very different to different people. Is a gay man posting about his relationship with his husband political?

What does “experimental color management” mean? Is that HDR support?

Can anyone expand on that?

The same is true for blue states.

If your vote is not important because your state is locked in on a presidential candidate, local issues / candidates are worth voting on. They can have a more direct impact on your day to day.

It was more that older batteries can’t handle the power draw, so they would shut down if the power draw spiked by an expensive operation.

It was a really bad user experience so Apple throttled so phones wouldn’t crash.

It really depends on your threat model. It’s not a one size fits all thing.

For instance in some threat models you shouldn’t have TOTP auth and passwords on the same device, let alone the same app, but the vast majority of people are not going to carry two devices because of how inconvenient it is.

This even works with some apps that hide the standard part - like Symantec VIP - it’s possible to extract what they are doing and use a standard TOTP app instead of VIP.

I read the original mastodon post by the developer of run0 and I am still don’t understand what the problem with SUID is.

Whats an example of an attack that would work with sudo and doas (which also uses SUID) and not on run0?

Keep in mind that Playboy had a reputation as more than just porn. A lot of really respected authors had work published in Playboy.

I not sure of its culture status when the event in question happened, but it would have been different then say, Penthouse.

This is a good step but I still feel like it’s pretty obscure where a package is actually coming from. “by Google” or for the Steam package “by Valve” is really confusing and makes it sounds like it’s coming directly from the company. Unverified tells the user to pay attention but there is no hover over to say what it actually means.

Great detailed answer. One pedantic nitpick is the Apple typically supports Macs longer then 5-6 years, with the operating system getting security patches for a few years after the last one was released.

Their support cycle has been shorter lately because they seem pretty hell bent on phasing out Intel Macs.

I used to use Fluxbox back in the day, what’s the modern equivalent?

Yeah going to mine as well. I am both excited and a little scared. Some folks have reports some serious issues when upgrading so let’s hope the Tumbleweed folks sit on this until they feel it’s ready for general availability.

You know, I am fine with it. One of the reasons I am using Tumbleweed is for the additional testing they do, so if they aren’t cool with shipping it yet I can wait.

Man I really want to see that VRR patch merged in, even if it still takes a flag to turn on.

With KDE having VRR and now HDR it feels like the choice you have to make if you are gaming on Linux. I prefer Gnome generally so I would like to see them catch up.

Everyone seems shocked when Arch breaks but it’s been my experience with Arch as well. Literally on an old laptop I was basically using for web browsing I had Arch break several times randomly after updates. That was enough for me to give up on it.

Accusing the poster of astroturfing is extremely toxic and warrants revision on your part.
