I was lucky enough to have a friend send me an invite to the playtest. I’m not sure if that is the only way in or not

Been giving deadlock a shot, still playing dead by daylight, and for solo efforts I have Total War, Tomb Raider, and Rogue Trader going

Never have I ever clogged a toilet. Second flush has always been enough for me

Maybe something like “Hey neighbor, I noticed your trailer isn’t fully secured, I’ve got some wedges to block the tires if you don’t have anything”

My recommendation is Wintermoor Tactics Club https://store.steampowered.com/app/917840/Wintermoor_Tactics_Club/

Its a really cute and funny tactics game where you control the Tactics Club in a series of snowball fights to determine the future of the school. Each club is full of silly little jokes and the tactics got me well enough for me to replay multiple stages for a better score.

Hopefully they will have more variety in more respectful presentation through a voluntary exchange with other museums. That would be the dream at least

All advertising is media, not all media is advertising 🤷‍♂️

Media nah leave it, advertising I’d absolutely be down for. Advertising and Marketing are essentially the science of tricking our brains, and when that lever is exposed to capital you get enshittification and misery.

Everyone else: This bank is directly invested in manufactoring illegal weapons.

You: Blaming bankers for the direct obvious result of their investment sounds pretty antisemetic

Its a good time and seeing the beavers doing their cute little thing never gets old. That is sadly a double edged sword because if you’re bad like me it is quite possible to have your beaver community fall to famine

Once watched a non-technical manager destroy two flexible OLED prototypes in a row. At the time they were combined worth more than my yearly income.

Having been a linux user around the time of both rollouts I’ve had a way better time with pipewire. We’ve come a long way since OG pulseaudio

I went Ubuntu -> Xubuntu -> Debian -> Manjaro -> Arch -> Nix

Arch is still the longest lasting and I’m dual booting with Nix right now, but Nix has been a dream when it comes to gaming stability and I think if it continues I’ll stay.

The context is that just recently Taylor Swift sent a cease and desist to the twitter account tracking her and other celebrity private jet usage because she is embarassingly bad about using it for tiny flights.

The other side of it is the story about the cop in Florida who unloaded his pistol into his police cruiser while someone was inside because he mistook an acorn hitting the roof of the car for a muffled gunshot. He fired his whole clip into the car and yelled ‘I’m hit’ which also got his partner to shoot their clip into the cruiser.

I wouldn’t dismiss this just yet. Mozilla has already been doing some open source AI work, specifically their speech offerings. If they invest in these and they get better I think we all stand to gain from having good text to speech and speech recognition available outside of Apple/Amazon/Microsoft/Google

So I am sort of an embedded developer, and I like to mess around with weird configurations. So the craziest experiment I did was trying to reflash a rasberry pi from a system running in the pi’s RAM. It honestly might have worked, but during the prep work I forgot to resize the filesystem before mucking with the paritions and had to reflash the normal way before I could try again. Ended up just turning it into a pihole instead, but I still learned a lot about pivot_root

Intentionally? Probably when ads for Wheel of Time Season 2 started showing up and I clicked through to see if they had a release date.

Unintentionally through misclick? Probably yesterday

Unintentionally through deception? Seconds ago

You’re 100% right. Not only can they steal data, but they could use kernel level access to make your hardware misbehave, perhaps even to the point of damage. They could probably trash a hard disk or GPU for instance. It also gives them a locally controlled device on whatever network you’re on. From there they can weaponise their new access to attack other devices on the network, or cause the network itself to fail.

It just goes to show how dangerous this is, that even a programmer and security enthusiast like myself forgets to mention a huge chunk of the possible damages.
