Omg. No. He did not pull a russ hannaman. Tell me it ain't true XD.

SteamOS isnt really open given its got a whole bunch of unreleased patched open source software (probably in violation of Foss licenses) but always good to have more linux friendly handhelds.

Doubt it. Foreign countries having leverage over you is basically the hallmark of trumps presidential position.

Tbf all the other candidates are also republicans. I'd pay just to find out how big the dossier of the alternatives would get.

Just use vscode. It's basically the standard text editor for everything nowadays. Eventually you may want to start exploring vim/emacs but no reason to prioritise that now when all you need is something you can write code in that gives you squigglies when you do something wrong.

Is that still being recommended? Last I heard it was eol, no longer getting feature changes or improvements and was basically superceded by vscode.

Yeah, I agree. My whole comment was basically crowdstrike is liable but companies should reflect and take some accountability for their overreliance on CS.

There is an argument to be made that they IT team and infrastructure isn't supposed to be an ongoing expense or revenue generation. It's insurance against catastrophe. And if you wanna pivot to something profit generating then you can reassign them to improve UX or other client impacting things that can result in revenue gain. For example notification systems for flight delays are absolute garbage IMO. I land, I check in my flights app and it doesn't show any changes to when my flight is departing, I load google and those changes are right there. Or they could add maps for every airport they operate a flight from to their apps. They could streamline the process for booking a replacement flight when your incoming flight is delayed or you missed a connecting flight (i had to walk up to a desk, wait in a queue with dozens of other people for half an hour just to be stampped with a new boarding pass and moved along). They could add an actual notification system for when boarding starts (my turkish air flight at one airport didnt have an intercom so i didnt know it was boarding and missed the fligbt). All of these are just examples but my point is theres an inherent shortsightedness in assuming an investment in IT, especially for a company that deals primairly with interconnectivity, is wasted. This is the reason everything is so sh*tty for users. Companies prefer minimising costs to maximising value to the user even if the latter can generate long term revenue and increase user retention.

I'm not sure any kind of pentest would prevent crowdstrikes backdoor access to release updates at its own discretion and cadence. The only way to avoid that would be blocking crowdstrike from accessing the Internet but I'd bet they'd 100% brick the host over letting that happen. If anything this is a good lesson in not installing malware to prevent even worse malware. You handed the keys to your security to a party that clearly doesn't care and paid the price. My reaction to that legal disclaimer of crowdstrikes stating they take no responsibility for anything they do... responsibility is the only reason anyone would buy anything from them (aside from being forced by legal requirements that clearly didn't have anyone who understood them involved in the legislation).

ISTG if trump loses, incites another insurrection and we still don't put him jail I don't know what the point of it is anymore.

Lol. Answered your own question.

Lucozade pink lemonade. I might have a problem, and that problem is I don't have enough of it :-P

Funny, literally just found out today reddit is now only indexable by google. They have paid partnerships. So that specific feature (which I also make heavy use of) will continue to work but not on duck duck go or other engines. I'm gonna start appending lemmy instead of reddit and maybe just ditch google altogether. Search results have been pretty bad all round for quite a while.

just bacon

You sir/madam have just earned my vote. Where do I register?

How difficult would it be for companies to have staged releases or oversee upgrades themselves? I mostly just use Linux but upgrading itself is a relatively painless processing and logging into remote machines to trigger an update is no harder. Why is this something an independent party should be able to do without end user discretion?

Like... Trump. The guy with no political experience or cohesive message who seemed to do it just cause he could. We kept thinking the next big scandal was what would end his campaign but then he won and somehow had even more scandals in office. No ones arguing unconventional people can't win. But do you want a leader you want to support or one you don't. Cause right now the dividing line is we don't want trump, not we want Biden and that makes him a liability.

In a race to the bottom I never bet against trump. Literally if Biden stops talking today I bet he'd have a better chance of winning by the end of it.

I'm sure one who isn't a senior citizen wouldn't struggle to justify their cognitive ability for the role.

Well hey, the roman empire had a pretty good run for a bit. Let's roll the dice and see /s

In all seriousness I don't know how America as a country can survive giving presidential authority to a insurrectionist figure head and open political pawn. There's a point where you realise the political institutions do not and have not ever served your best interests and that sh*t always ends badly.

I wish our political leaders were rational enough to listen when everyone tells them their wrong and that their putting ego before their responsibilities.
