Just your normal everyday casual software dev. Nothing to see here.
People can share differing opinions without immediately being on the reverse side. Avoid looking at things as black and white. You can like both waffles and pancakes, just like you can hate both waffles and pancakes.
they are claiming the man is in violation of title 18 section 2232 for inputting what seems to be a duress pin that initiated a wipe on the device when they tried to seize it.
said section does not talk about reasoning for searches though, it uses the terms “lawful authority” which in my eyes indicates that the search as a whole was lawful in the first place. It happend at a port authority though and those generally have weaker protections for citizen rights.
the claim they are making is that the user inputted a duress pin at the port, i was under the assumption that they actually need to have evidence that something was there in order to claim destruction of evidence, I’ll be curious to see where that case goes. It sounds like it was a routine search with no objective.
Degraded as in opinion or actual metrics?
If it’s opinion I feel most channels naturally degrade over time as the broadcasters personality changes with the popularity increase.
My largest case and it’s a likely a controversial take would be Markiplier. When he hit fandom he all but left the youtube lets play field in favor of other opportunities(which to be fair he was fully upfront with before he did it), then after months of almost no activity he came back with a different personality. (somewhat like how Jack did when he did his rebrand but was more noticeable). My eye opener to it was his GTFO series, I don’t know of a good way to put it, he seemed super offputting and mean/childish to the people he had gamed with for years. I know it was likely meant to be a bit but, after an extended inactivity in the genre and then coming back and acting like that it was whiplash. He also seems to really be putting his fandom/viewer base on the side burner with everything, he hasen’t posted regular videos in a long time(I expect it’s due to his movie that he’s putting his heart and soul into) and it’s made it so I no longer get recommendations to any of his content since his channel has fallen off the algorithm for me. Like don’t get me wrong, I still like his content(when he releases it), and he’s been clear that youtube was a stepping stone for him and that his passion is in other areas but for the sake of the question I feel the channel fits.
yea it makes it so much easier since there’s only one user in the system anyway so makes no sense for everything to be installed system level
The majority of my development work is on chat bots or sites so I’ve always just used bot as the name
further more the opencollective project hasn’t seen an expense report for development since july of 2024 only domain renewals. so it’s not like they are working behind the scenes and just haven’t pushed anything to the gitlab (which also hasent seen any real development activity since july 2024)
edit: I just saw this on their blog.
Personally I will not do any more work on Manyverse. And my impression is no one else is planning to either. At most I might do a patch release (no features/big bug fixes) to wrap up a grant. The codebase could maybe keep living in a fork where the backend is swapped out with some other protocol, but this is a big project which would probably lose backwards compatibility with the current SSB main network, and I don’t think this is very likely to happen. Personally if I’d work on a P2P app now it’d probably be a (comparatively) “smaller” project, like a chat app or similar, using a newer protocol.
so it sounds like the project is essentially dead
I always make a ~/.local/{bin,opt,share} if the distro lacks it. and a ~/bot that I use for my development stuff
Social life? No. But i defo don’t think society would be hindered by fewer social media or social platform sources.
There’s some social platforms that I straight out avoid due to the toxicity of the platform as a whole, while overall I think online has made my social life better, it definitely has a pretty heavy consequence as well.
The only systems that I use admin or password for are testing systems that are never going to be actually on 24-7 or carry anything worthwhile, And generally can’t even access the outside world anyway.
we’ve used artificial for at least the last 9 years now. Less cleanup, less expensive and easy to setup
the standard 3 draw one. I understand 1 draw has a higher chance of success tho
To each their own, that’s the reason I don’t play Solitaire physically and play it digitally I hate spending 5-10 minutes on a game just to find out that I can’t beat it. There’s no sense of satisfaction for me
I just went through the hassle of putting a PXE server on my main server. I put boot repair disc, Debian live, a few installers and I just remembered I need to throw clonezilla on it.
I always end up losing my USBs and I just lost my primary OS USB and had to re-download all my isos so I figured enough is enough.
it’s “new” with windows 11, but they redesigned it, it no longer is blue, its a black screen with white text saying “your system encountered an issue and needs to restart” and then the stop code is a bit smaller light grey that blends in with the background which makes it hard to see.
It’s not all bad though, like it now gives a little more info about what failed if it is able to know, but i just find tiny text on black a pain and I preferred the frown and clear right to the point text.
I don’t agree with this. While they have stated its against their stores policies to use permanent identifiers instead of your IDFA, I haven’t seen any stories of them actually enforcing said restriction. I’ve seen a lot of /them/ saying that they will and do, but I’ve never seen a story of a company saying they were disabled for it.
On top of that, they didn’t forbid companies from using workarounds like a unique device fingerprint using your current device configuration for it either, so many apps just did that instead, which brought everyone back to square one again, they just switched to using a third party to identify the device instead of using apple’s first party solution.
Privacy advocates actually warned that apples way of marketing this feature would do exactly what is occurring here. Giving users a false sense of privacy when really very little has changed.
For this one it really depends on the context. Many apps are super pushy and don’t give you notice they are even trying to do anything. If I was minding my own business and just happend to open amazon music on my phone to listen to music, I would get super confused about time my watch decided to try and pair itself to the account. Like first off, why are you messaging me, second why are you trying to do something i didn’t ask you to do.
Granted I could tell right off what that message was likely indicating it wanted to do, but thats because I’ve used tech for years now and I understand how code based pairing works. I could defo see someone who wasn’t used to code based account pairing looking at that and saying “what does this mean, why do I need to go to a website and put a code in”
You mean like the “new” BSOD for windows? god that new screen is the worst when troubleshooting.
I don’t push it. It’s their life and if privacy isn’t a value to them nothing I say is going to change that. I might mention the amount of data collected but that’s generally public knowledge anyway. Some people just don’t care if a company that they use has the data.
“I value my privacy more than you, there is nothing more to it” is a more than adequate statement.
Not that I disagree with the general mindset but, this isn’t a valid comparison because its unequal. It’s misinterpreting what those people are saying. There is a difference between giving your landlord a spare key and hanging that spare key on the community bulletin board.
What people really mean when they say “it’s already out there” is that people with the skillset or job to obtain the data have the ability to, not that the everyday person has the ability to. It’s not unknown the information is already out there, but that doesn’t mean that you would want to just publicly disclose the info.
