At that point wouldn’t it be better to run a hypervisor? Qubes maybe?

Says more about you if you think that’s an insult.

Would be the best thing AI has ever done.

Honestly baffled why anyone still gives a shit about jewels. Literal useless rocks extracted by slave labour from France’s colonies with no industrial or personal uses, and formerly owned by a disgusting aristocrat as a way to show off his disgusting wealth.

Most jewels are just aluminum oxide crystals with colored inorganic impurities. Who cares if they’re stolen, just make more. The camera lens on your phone and the tube in an old school sodium vapour street light are jewels, and far purer ones than what you can dig out of the ground.

Stop calling yourself a “refugee” whenever big tech fucks up something you were using. Anyone who thinks having to switch software is worthy of that word has no idea what it’s like to be a refugee. Check your privileged ass.

you deserve to get your head caved in.

Sucks to suck

The fact that screenshots have the same artifact suggests it’s an issue within the GTK or GNOME framework. I would think if it was an issue with the GPU or drivers the screenshot would probably look normal or at least glitched in a different way.

The West never had it in the first place. The Red Scare matched and even surpassed any anticapitalist speech suppression in the USSR yet it was hailed as the West “defending” its “freedoms” from the totalitarian communist ideology.

As far as I know when you download a dmg, the OS checks its signatures against Apple’s registry and only allows installation if it’s approved. The developer would have submitted the app to Apple (for like $100) for them to inspect even if it’s not on the “official” app store.

Not a Mac user so please call me out if I’m just talking out my ass.

He would unironically fall for a scam call pretending to be Modi.

DO NOT download and install random programs from the internet. Not a deb/rpm file, not an elf binary, not an install script, nothing. Use your package manager or desktop environment’s app store. At most use flatpak or snap packages.

Linux gets its reputation for not getting malware from the same place Mac does: It has a managed app repository where you get all your software from. Difference is Mac doesn’t let you install arbitrary programs at all, while Linux expects you to know better than to do that. Someone who doesn’t know what they’re doing downloading Linux programs from random websites will inevitably hit one of the super rare Linux malware in the wild.

Even ignoring security issues, running an install script even from a reputable open source project’s website can open you up to package dependency hell. And if you ever need to upgrade or modify it, you’re in for a rough time because none of the existing tools built into your distro will help you. It’s even worse than Windows when this happens because Windows at least expects for things like this to happen (because everything comes in its own installer and handles updates separately) and has UX elements to help non tech savvy users deal with their mess of apps, Linux expects anyone bypassing the normal package manager to know what they’re doing and if you don’t, it won’t be a good day for you.

Wait until you hear about the proprietary microcode backdoors in Intel and AMD processors.

Define “plenty.” What’s the fire rate compared to the total number of BYD cars in existance? How does that compare to Tesla? How’s the historical trend, is it going up or down? Are they equally likely to catch fire across the board or are there problematic models or series? Different countries have different automotive regulations and therefore have slightly different cars even if they’re the same model, are the fire rates different by country? Are domestic Chinese BYDs more likely to catch fire than cars exported to, say, other Asian countries, Latin America, or Africa?

This is why you don’t draw conclusions from how many YouTube videos you can find. When there are billions of any product there will inevitably be tons of videos of it going wrong which doesn’t inherently tell you whether it’s actually likely to happen or not. If that was an acceptable statistical analysis method, then I can binge watch the hundreds of thousands of aviation accident videos and conclude that literally all planes do is crash.

Daily reminder that the Nobel Prize was (still is) purely a marketing move to scrub the reputation of the Merchant of Death, Alfred Nobel. Because he got butthurt that the newspapers had the audacity to shed light on the truth about his horrible legacy.

The first Nobel Peace Prize went to the woman he had a crush on and never got over even decades after she dumped his explosive peddling ass.

How long before they accuse China of “technology theft” again?

Good call. The “facts don’t care about your feelings” crowd hate being reminded they lost.

On Linux it just sticks around as a ghost until it’s closed. Less noticeable but frustrating in its own way.

Ukraine: First time?
