  • fwiw, I didn't read 0-17 for fun because reading was homework and fuck doing what you tell me.

    I started reading in my 20s. Hopefully others too.

  • I can't say it was intentional. I never set out to become more empathetic. It was just that, as I began to navigate the world on my own, I realized how selfish and wrong was my thinking about the world and the people i met.

    I learned that eating animals was a major cause of the climate catastrophe shortly after moving from my patents house, and so I became vegetarian and many of my friends were vegan. My initial motivation for this was mostly still selfish, since its still in my personal interest to avoid climate catastrophe. But obviously many of my peers were veg for more empathetic reasons.

    Also at Uni many of my friends were poorer than me. So being exposed to poor vegan friends showed me a lot of what I wasn't taught by my parents (empathy).

    And then I went traveling, and I was amazed at how kind most strangers I met were. We're taught to live in fear and that others want to hurt us, but I found most strangers wanted to help. And those who have less generally give more than rich folks.

    As for work, I've worked as a sysadmin. It can be high stress when things break and you're called-in to fix it. Its important to have a cool head. I've also done a lot of trekking, sometimes in sketchy situation. I think the leader attribute might be more my nature, whereas empathy was learned (or, maybe, being a selfish asshole was unlearned)

  • Flatpaks can be verified. Compare that to apt packaged, which must be cryptographically signed.

    That's why flatpak isnt secure. If you use it, you might end up running malicious code. Because, unlike most Linux repo package managers, it doesn't require packages to be cryptographically verified as authentic.

  • Shouldn't matter. Reinstall the OS of every device you buy before you provision it..

  • If the screen is off, idk wtd background apps you're running that would drain so much..

  • Shame they didn't mention that homebrew is a security nightmare and will happily download maliciously modified code

    Edit: omg then the author claims flatpak is better for security?!? It has the same nightmare security issues.

  • Can someone make a photo of trump holding up a photo of himself with a MS-13 tatoo, plz?

  • I had asshole impatient parents (two of them), and I was like that. After I moved out, I had to learn empathy.

    Ive been in a few emergency situations at- and outside-of work, and I'm always told that I'm a great leader who is calm and quick to act effectively.

    My point is that empathy and leadership isnt dependent on parents.

  • A container that has access to all the data on the database. All the users data is compromised. And the attacker can execute malicious JavaScript on the users.

    There's nothing bright about using docker. Its a huge risk.

  • Even without google, it's a security nightmare. Which makes it a privacy nightmare.

  • God no. But is there a ddwrt/rockbox equivalent for ereaders? One, you know, for reading books?

  • It downloads things without checking signatures by default. And even if you enable DCT, it TOFUs every key without even asking or checking against a WoT

    Basically, using docker means you could run malicious code (arbitrary code execution) in your container because it doesn't verify what it downloads.

  • I agree. We should ban cars from the roads. Cycling lanes are dangerous.
