Yeah that would incite you to lie from now on.

Instagram's unskippable ads test causes outrage among users (www.techspot.com)

Instagram has long been accused of stealing features from platforms such as TikTok, Snapchat, and Twitter/X. It appears that the company has looked to YouTube for its latest idea: unskippable ads that you have to watch for a period of time before being able to scroll further....

BestBouclettes ,

Isn't that standard practice nowadays? You push an outrageous thing to test the reactions, then you pull back and then you push something similar but toned down to be more acceptable. A while later you incrementally move towards your initial plan.

BestBouclettes ,

I wouldn't be surprised if it were paid by the companies currently battling them over copyright. Bunch of greedy bastards.

BestBouclettes ,

You just pay random people on the internet to do it, it's fairly easy if you know where/what to ask for.

BestBouclettes ,

The bomb runs AIX. I'm sorry, you're dead

BestBouclettes ,

Nope, tar doesn't handle compression on AIX. So it would be something like gzip -cd filename.tar.gz | tar xvf -

Israel has weaponized antisemitism, it's not even a secret and they admitted it a while back.

BestBouclettes ,

That and you need to be pretty imaginative to get some nice results from prompts

BestBouclettes ,

What the fuck Italy

BestBouclettes ,

RedHat and Hashicorp under IBM. Hmm, that doesn't bode well for the future.

Windows 11 Start menu ads are now rolling out to everyone (www.theverge.com)

Microsoft is starting to enable ads inside the Start menu on Windows 11 for all users. After testing these briefly with Windows Insiders earlier this month, Microsoft has started to distribute update KB5036980 to Windows 11 users this week, which includes “recommendations” for apps from the Microsoft Store in the Start menu....

The choice is hard to make when Microsoft's garbage has been shoved down your throat for decades, it's the default pretty much everywhere and the only viable alternative, for 99% of the population, is Apple.

Governments have been way too lenient and passive towards Microsoft for far too long

BestBouclettes ,

That's pretty much my point, 99% of computers sold are sold with Windows on it and the leftover percent is 99% Apple and maybe 1% Linux.
And that's mostly because no one did anything when Microsoft licensed their crap to big OEM.

If any given computer sold was Linux (or any other free OS to be fair) by default and Windows as a paid option, it would change the market massively I believe. It would take time obviously but I'm convinced it would work in the long run.

'Vortex Cannon vs Drone' - Mark Rober shows off tech from a "defense technology company that specializes in advanced autonomous systems". That seems bad

I've enjoyed Mark Rober's videos for a while now. They are fun, touch on accessible topics, and have decent production value. But this recent video isn't sitting right with me...

BestBouclettes ,

I suppose that depending on the location you might not want to have stray bullets landing at random, also depending on the size and the speed of the drone it might be hard to target.

BestBouclettes ,

Yeah my company enabled the use of copilot with our corporate Microsoft accounts. I don't understand how you can open such a massive can of worms to ALL your users. It's pretty much begging for information to completely leave corporate control. It's absolutely insane.

BestBouclettes ,

I'm afraid I can't do that Dave BCsven

BestBouclettes ,

I always read that people were angry at the execution not at the idea itself. It was pretty obvious that she was gonna snap and go genocidy, but the way she did was dumb and nonsensical imo.

BestBouclettes ,

I kind of agree with the idea but it's absolutely not enforceable in any practical way. What we need is more awareness and parental control, but other than that, I'm not sure what else could be done that wouldn't screw everyone over. (Like identity and age control, which would be an absolute nightmare)

    It's only free speech when it's speech he likes. That's about it.

    BestBouclettes ,

    Yes, one of the most notable ones is Rue de Rivoli

    BestBouclettes ,

    Is he one of the "thinking he's the Master Race while looking like a rat" kind of person?

    Microsoft to separate Teams and Office globally amid antitrust scrutiny (www.reuters.com)

    Microsoft (MSFT.O) will sell its chat and video app Teams separately from its Office product globally, the U.S. tech giant said on Monday, six months after it unbundled the two products in Europe in a bid to avert a possible EU antitrust fine.

    BestBouclettes ,

    From Teams plus office 10 euros a month per user to
    Office alone 9 euros a month per user and Teams alone 5 euros a month per user.

    Microsoft would never do that now, would they ?

    BestBouclettes ,

    The problem with that is when a company like Microsoft has used and abused its position for such a long time that the only possible competition is another megacorp. No real choice there, only an illusion of choice.

    BestBouclettes ,

    Pretty much that, he got shot, then beaten and then hanged by his feet for everyone to see.

    BestBouclettes ,

    It's pretty stable but when it breaks it usually breaks spectacularly

    BestBouclettes ,

    They just don't want you to talk about it

    Well maybe that's a Mexican behind the border wall, so just bars and no roof!

    BestBouclettes ,

    It is the industry standard now, it never had to be but they all got greedy and Adobe kickstarted the slide

    BestBouclettes ,

    A panicky move to the cloud might be extremely expensive too. Especially if you don't have cloud ready applications (old on prem apps, full fledged VMs, etc. )

    BestBouclettes ,

    Well that was my point, moving to the cloud requires drastic changes in the way your infra works. You cannot have full fledged VMs running at 10% of capacity 95% of the time like you do on prem. You need to be able to scale up and down on a whim with containers/micro services/whatever you call it. I've worked with a lot of companies that never understood that and bitterly regretted moving to the cloud.

    BestBouclettes ,

    Just so you know, the load avg is not actually the CPU load. It's an index of a bunch of metrics crammed together (network load, disk I/o, CPU avg, etc.). A good rule of thumb is to have your load avg value under the number of cores your CPU has. If your load avg is twice the number of your CPU cores it means that your machine is overloaded by 100%, if it's equal to your number of cores, your machine is using 100% of its capacity to treat whatever you're throwing at it.

    To answer your question, you can probably run a script that fetches your 5 min load avg and triggers a reboot if it's higher than a certain value. You can run it on a regular basis with a systemd timer or a cron job.

    BestBouclettes ,

    To be fair there are probably no Vietnamese rice farmers in Russia

    BestBouclettes ,

    And did pretty much the same thing with Africa

    BestBouclettes ,

    Yep sorry, missed that part 👍

    BestBouclettes ,

    We didn't see that one coming huh

    BestBouclettes , (edited )

    And funnily enough, the kernel doesn't follow the unix philosophy either as far as I know.

    BestBouclettes ,

    Yeah one of the big downsides of hydrogen is that you need massive amounts of clean energy to make it worthwhile.

    BestBouclettes ,

    Yeah the only issues I've had with Arch, were due to me being a dumbass.

    BestBouclettes ,

    Buy Microsoft you fucking coward

    BestBouclettes ,

    We still have COBOL and AS400. We'll be fine!

    BestBouclettes ,

    Yeah but China bad

    BestBouclettes ,

    And mine is making the switch from Firefox to Chrome next year. I'm so fucking mad about it.

    BestBouclettes ,

    Not sure, it's a big corpo so the decision is far from me. Probably bribes or a C level exec that likes Chrome on his home laptop.

    BestBouclettes ,

    Pebble yeet is a nazi. Don't promote his garbage here, it's not welcome

    BestBouclettes ,

    Add France to your list mate. If it doesn't happen in 2027, it will happen on the next election cycle.

    BestBouclettes ,

    Without even going to the gym, simple mobility exercises can work wonders ! A lot of them you can do in bed or on a chair.

    BestBouclettes ,

    Does it mean that all of existing tiktoks with universal's music will now be silent or is it only going to affect new videos?

    BestBouclettes ,

    Aaron Swartz is probably spinning in his grave right now

    BestBouclettes ,

    Manual and boot a machine with the same IP somewhere else. Very robust
