That feels immoral if not illegal

Can someone help me? Is Mr WordPress just snorting a shitton of coke?

I can understand the frustration but I don’t see that as much when I’m playing more indie games. Are you playing more quintuple a titles, if so have you considered going for more independent stuff instead? I could give some recommendations

Please explain the edit a bit

Edit: also thank you for the info. I had only ever seen a picture with the quote and his face. So the video source is new for me and given the stated age, not faked.

Another commentor corrected my info.

I had suspected it was faked because I only ever saw his picture and a quote like it was designed to look like a magazine. Turns out it’s a direct quote from an Oprah interview he did in the late 80’s

I suspect it was faked personally

I would pay money to keep Firefox foss for other people who can’t afford to do so.

Gotcha gotcha, I’ve had to go from zero to hero more times than I can count. It was a mandate at the start ups where I was the sole DevOps guy. It’s been a boon at my large well established company. I’d say I’m not a fan but first I did it I got an unexpected raise so life was good

Homie, I work in IT. I graduated from college with a degree in network security. So please consider that experience as your read my response.

This is a problem caused by companies putting in the minimum of effort to secure their systems and no effort to have a valid server back up strategy.

I’ll try and keep things high level since I don’t know if you’re in the field or not but you sound like you aren’t. In short, a driver (something low level used for an operating system to interact with a piece of hardware usually) got released which was full of bunk data. That caused a blue screen of death. This is a fixable situation you need to reboot your computer into a mode called “safe mode” and delete the bunk driver.

That’s not the problem though, the problem is when you use another piece of security software called bitlocker to enceypt your enterprise equipment AND servers. You can’t reboot into safe mode without a decryption key which most companies store on a piece of server software (called active directory) on a server … which is also using both crowdstrike and bitlocker.

Your data is inaccessible and the best option is to restore from a backup which as we’re seeing, few people have.

This isn’t a cyber attack. This is human incompetence and business greed.

I have contact with someone trying to float the idea because she doesn’t understand tech.

To her, it’s because it’s the biggest IT outage ever and it happened 6 days after the failure to assassinate Trump.

Can confirm, just wish other people around the fediverse would realize you can adore and speak out against Israel without being antisemitic. To clarify I mean that can you speak out against genocide AND that you don’t have to say shit like “fuck the Jews”.

Been fighting that bullshit since Israeli Trump started his genocide.

You just tell em what your old pal Jack says “checks in the mail”

Would be really smart if they so made it so that people are able to order actual products through the virtual store for delivery. Akin to ready player one or snow crash.

Would absolutely need some protections so a kid isn’t just buying a bunch of random stuff but that’s something to be figured out and would help Roblox transition to more than just “a game for kids”

West Taiwan friend. Lesser sounds odd when it’s more populated and geographically larger. Though inferior sounds fitting

Isn’t the cost of living in Germany also lower than us statie boys?

If you need 4k you’re going to need a shit ton of storage. If you go for the good quality profile 4ks you’re looking at 50GB easily per file.

Sonarr and Radarr can fetch downloads, yes. You’ll need to configure your indexers and then you’ll need to set up your download clients. I use a torrent server and sabnzbd.

You’ll need a graphics card that can handle transcoding 4k I’m not sure which is best. Ram and CPU won’t be the biggest concerns for you.

Perspective is always biased. Telling people you work for the company helps explain why the person is posting so much from that single source and helps readers be informed regarding potential bias (intentional or unintentional).

This can help to combat misinformation and foster better conversations knowing that the poster will discuss things from a company positive point of view that not every would share.

I get the temptation to feel that way, but this development should be seen as a really good thing.

1st we have started to electrify everything which is fantastic but it’s a Pandora’s box, no one can just put that technology back in the box and we’ll see continued development and improvement which reduces CO2 output.

2nd we needed a way to remove the extra CO2 from the atmosphere without overtaxing the environment, this should help us do that and get the planet back to a healthier position.

Honest question, how would they be able to do damage via the federation protocol?

My understanding was that it sends data regarding posts comments and actions to all servers.

The closest I thought I had was some kind of instance ban but while that gets federated, it doesn’t result in a ban elsewhere

Instance a bans user foobar Instance b sees this information but foobar is not banned by instance b.

We saw some of that with the hexbear drama a couple of months back

Honestly, with the user level blocking feature in personally against instance level blocking as well.

1. I strong believe in user choice. It’s clear from this thread that there isn’t an overwhelming majority in favor of instance blocking threads. There does not appear to be one that’s not in favor.

1a) if the instance held a vote on the matter id naturally accept the majority choice.

2. if privacy is a concern (which it should be because Facebook), we’re already screwed. Fediverse interactions (comments posts votes) are a matter of public record. So even if we block threads at the instance level, they can still zuck up our data so we’re not really gaining anything there.

Edit: if you’re going to down ote, be better than reddit and expand your thoughts. We’re here to discuss, not act like children redditors
