I don’t understand the actual mechanics of it, but my understanding is that it’s essentially like what happened with Volkswagon and their diesel emissions testing scheme where it had a way to know it was being emissions tested and so it adapted to that.
The malicious actor had a mechanism that exempted the malicious code when built from source, presumably because it would be more likely to be noticed when building/examining the source.
Edit: a bit of grammar. Also, this is my best understanding based on what I’ve read and videos I’ve watched, but a lot of it is over my head.
For some people it’s definitely the aesthetic/collectible nature of vinyl. Anecdotally, for me, it’s for the listening pleasure. I’m no audiophile. I’m listening on potato speakers on a sub par turntable, but I like listening to records like I did when I was younger.
I do also love the much larger album sleeve artwork, but my primary drive in purchasing an album is to listen to it on my turntable.
Fuck Target. It’s just another corpo that’s just as horrible as Walmart.
I’d LOVE to shop small businesses in my town. Guess what. There aren’t any. Our options are Walmart, some shitty Kroger derivative, your pick of something like six shitty Dollar stores, and Aldi.
Edit to add: Even if I did have some decent local/small businesses to shop, I likely couldn’t afford it because like the vast majority of people, I’m an underpaid, undervalued wage slave.
How are you hosting nextcloud with only office? I’ve tried multiple times to get Only Office working with Nextcloud, and while I can get Nextcloud up and running, Only Office never properly works for me. It always weirdly edit locks files and doesn’t allow basic functionality.
I’m the same. I prefer apple products generally speaking, but Apple sucks just as much as every other giant asshole company and I don’t like Apple. There’s no ethical consumption in capitalism. Fuck all these companies.
Obviously not, but the behavior already shows that Meta/Threads isn’t interested in being a good fediverse citizen, and in doing so lends more credibility to the idea that they’re aiming to embrace, extend, and extinguish.
