It's cotton, actually

It looks like my ass is very knowledgeable. Definitely a good source

I feel like this argument is way too imprecise, to the point of being basically untrue. That's probably based on the average emissions or something like that, but people are not the same and "emission responsibility" is wildly different.

Imagine killing 34k exploited African people, the world's climate won't even notice that. On the other hand, killing 34k middle class Americans or Europeans would probably be a little more effective, but still won't fix anything. Now, killing 34k high-profile megacorp executives would definitely be much more effective, but would also collapse some economies, leading to various climate unfriendly events (like riots, war and shit).

But the simplest empirical evidence is: COVID killed 6 million people and the climate is still shit.

that makes no sense - you need the key

But if it's stored in a keyring or similar (like on windows) and the client reads from it you don't need the file with the plain text key. Like you don't store the git credentials in a file, but with libsecret.

I would prefer something that never ask for the password.

Things like the gnome-keyring or kwallet keep all the passwords in an encrypted file, they get decrypted and kept in ram using your login password when you log into gnome/KDE session and programs can ask for passwords using some API. Once you log out the passwords are removed from ram and no one can read them. My goal is to have something like this, so I'm never asked for a password, I just log into my session and everything is available

It's not a solution.

Example: there's another user with sudo access, he has access to my home folder, encrypting the drive doesn't solve anything. Or maybe you just are not the system administrator.

It's not my usecase, but it's definitely a reasonable situation.

Do I have to? 🥺

Being lesbo sucks. I tell a girl that she's banging and you get "coming from you 👸🏼". Literally no, I'm not saying that to be your pal, I'm saying it to shag you...

Or something, I'm not Scottish

What about whole green olives?

I think it's only important to Apple, it's not beneficial to anyone else

Which is bullshit because DRM doesn't effectively prevent ripping (source: you can find pirated hd content). So it's literally only harmful to the customer.

I'll give you a quick demo of how DRM is literally useless at protecting content:

• You need:
  • a machine with any Nvidia GPU series 600 or newer running Windows, a browser with DRM support (e.g. chrome), and optionally sunshine. This is not an uncommon setup
  • any other machine that can run moonlight (even a phone).\
• Services often use widevine as DRM provider, so using the Nvidia machine visit this test page and make sure DRM is working
• Normally the DRM api ensure that the decrypted content of that video can never in any form get out of a special GPU buffer, not even the browser can access it
• enable sunshine on the machine
• Connect from the second machine to the using moonlight and notice that the video is not being shared. DRM seems to be working correctly.
• Now disable sunshine and enable Nvidia gamestream from GeForce experience, and set it up to share the whole desktop
• connect from the second machine to the first using moonlight
• now the video is being shared to the second machine, and DRM is circumvented. There is literally nothing preventing you from recording the screen on the second machine

Now, this is a terrible way of ripping content, it causes at least one reencoding, which reduces quality (a lot of people won't even notice it), but it is a stupidly simple working demo of DRM circumvention.

Btw, that procedure is not the result of some study, reverse engineering, or any clever stuff. I was literally playing a game in streaming and I went "hmm, I wonder what would happen if I streamed widevine" and it just worked.

Once I asked a professor to participate in a project. So he interviewed me and asked me about my skills, as they do, and one of the questions was "do you know oop? Java?", me: "just the basics", him: "even better".

As the video points out, a lot of the work in xorg (and Linux in general, fwiw) is done by red hat engineers. So red hat cutting on that investment bears direct consequences for everyone else. Unless of course someone steps up and takes their place in maintenance, but it's not gonna happen, which is literally why Wayland (and not some revamped xorg) is the future of Linux desktop.

Also, red hat's decisions often trickle down on most other distros. E.g.: systemd, pulseaudio, pipewire, gnome, not including proprietary codecs, etc.

So, they technically don't arbiter, but they definitely set the pace.

Where whores glow and manwhores plunder

This reminds me, there's a national football (not the american one) team that goes to a sports retreat in the same mountain town where my family goes on holiday. So one time we came across one player that was training solo while we were on a walk, and because we don't really care about football we just went on with our conversation, and the guy looked at us absolutely flabbergasted for a few seconds and then said "hi" and went on his way. Keep in mind we are in Italy, so football players are used to the most thorough fangirling from everyone.

Fun fact: when learning some instruments (e.g. bowed instruments) you also number the fingers starting from your index (because you don't play with the thumb)
