Wherever I wander I wonder whether I’ll ever find a place to call home…
That’s hilarious. Big corporation apparently can’t afford basic cybersecurity. Always pinching pennies.
Anyway, any big organization should encrypt their core systems to prevent ransomware attacks. Individuals should too. It’s just good practice.
The web version is even worse! It’s all cloud-based, and you need a subscription unless your University pays for a license.
The only reason to use it would be to write things in Libre and then copy/paste them into MS and manually fix all the formatting.
I hated it, because all the professors could just smugly say “You know you have free access to Office 365 with your student email, right?”
That’s not the fucking point! I don’t give a shit if it’s free, I don’t want to use a fucking microsoft product, especially one that’s cloud-based, when there’s a perfectly good open-source alternative that I can run locally on my own hardware.
Just one of the many problems with the corporatization, commodification, and enshittification of education. If the focus was on learning and academic freedom, FOSS solutions would be encouraged. But no, you’re forced to use proprietary software, because “reasons” capitalism…
I don’t know enough to understand the connection. Can you please explain?
You don’t like butter block?
Avocados aren’t really supposed to be sweet. More like savory, with that buttery texture. They’re really good on toast, no matter what the boomers say.
Others have made some good suggestions. Salt, pepper, chili sauce or sriracha. A fried egg if you want it. Top notch.
You had me at the first half
In college my professor wouldn’t accept pdfs for assignments because I guess he couldn’t check the metadata or make comments or something.
So I literally had to download MS office just to submit assignments in their format…
Not really.
If you have the agent installed, it’s like having your gun assembled.
If you have your agent enabled, it’s like having your gun loaded.
If you give your agent permissions, it’s like taking your gun off safety.
If you don’t have your agent properly sandboxed, it’s like having bad muzzle control.
And if your agent is actively running, it’s like having your finger on the trigger.
This breaks every weapon safety rule. That’s how you get a negligent discharge.
Hence, it’s like scratching your back with a loaded weapon.
Unless you’re managing app permissions on android 🙄
Is that how they bred orange chickens?
Hipsters:
likes something different/uncommon
makes it cool
…
“Ugh. That’s so mainstream.”
judges everyone for liking it.
There are many paths in life, and you chose to follow your own. There is no better way than that.
“I’m a Mac.”
“And I’m a PC.”
“…and I’m a catgirl. Nya btw :3”
The end goal is probably a vat that billionaires can hook their brains into at the end of their lives so they never die.
That probably has something to do with their push for virtual reality and the ‘metaverse’ (fuck zuck for appropriating the greek language for his pet project; I used to use that word to describe a sort of hypothetical hyperdimensional multiverse where “spirits” inhabit 4D/5D topologies).
Oh and why they’re training AI agents in “environments” now (basically, 3D-scanned renderings of real life spaces).
If they can put all the pieces together before they die, then they can hook their brains into these computers and control a little avatar so they never have to die and can continue making our lives hell (at least as long as they maintain ownership of private capital, or until we seize the means of production and redistribute the wealth).
Sounds like something from a horror manga.
I’m seeing the chimera from FMAB saying “Edu…wardo… koroshite…kure… onegai…”
An apple sounds much less appealing when you describe it as an indecent (achoo) swollen receptacle tissue with a soft mesocarp…
Drupes have pits contained within a hard shell (I guess called an endocarp?).
Peach pits look like an almond inside of a walnut shell basically. Avocados just have a really large seed in direct contact with the buttery soft mesocarp.
I don’t know who decided to classify gourds, melons, and citrus fruits as berries, but I imagine they had mischief in mind…
It’s not saying that “92% of Canadians are morally good” or even that anyone said “92% of Canadians are morally good.”
It says that "92% of Canadians view other Canadians [i.e., in a general sense] as morally good.
In other words, most Canadians don’t view maple-leaf-maga as indicative of ‘Canadians’ as a whole. And maple-leaf-maga apparently don’t view the people they hate as real Canadians.
If you took the chart as an indicator of objective morality, then yes it invalidates it. But that’s not what the chart is about. The title clearly indicates that it’s a subjective assessment of people’s views.
So Canada ranks as “good,” somewhat because Canadian people are generally decent, but moreso because there’s a common assumption among Canadians that other Canadians are generally decent.
Likewise in India, the chart indicates that among Indians there’s a common conception that Indians are generally morally decent. This subjective perception is obviously layered with cultural interpretations of what constitutes morality.
The actual, objective morality (if such a thing exists) doesn’t factor into it as much as those cultural factors.
There’s also the selection bias to account for. Indian society is far more stratified than Canadian society. Who exactly is responding to the survey, and are they only considering members of their own caste in their response?

Although it seems to be a matter of debate within the Nix community as to the nature and scope of open-source software and what limitations, if any, can (or should) be imposed…
Oh man, I always thought if your drive was already encrypted that a hostile actor couldn’t encrypt it for ransomware. I don’t know where I read that but it was a long time ago and I guess someone lied to me, but it’s whatever.
So what’s the vulnerability that would be exploited, something about using the swap space to get into the encrypted drive? Or does the attack apply to the outside of the container? I’m curious cause I’m working on hardening my own system currently and I want to make sure I’m not leaving any gaps in my blind spots
