I have Ventoy on a MicroSD card for my Steam Deck. Saved my ass the other day.

Really surprised when I randomly found out that my tech illiterate friend was running Linux. Back in 2014 or so. Ubuntu. Was no big deal for her. It did everything she wanted.

Skill issue.

I guess they are not using php.

First time I encountered a Y2038 bug in the wild. And apparently they still did not fix it for some inane reason.

I have no idea why that field isn't optional.

It is. But leaving it off means that the cookie will be removed when the browser is shut down.

Linux is just more secure and keeps you from doing a stupid mistake.

@bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de avatar

With a password you can have an exact binary comparison. Either you supplied the correct password or you didn't.

But with biometrics you just have an approximation because your fingerprints change slightly due to the position in which you hold them, your health, humidity, pressure and probably other stuff I'm not thinking of. So the sensor can only say that it's like 95 % or whatever sure that it got the correct fingerprint. And this uncertainty makes it much easier to exploit.

And your fingerprint is not secret. You leave it all over the place. Especially on devices you use every day. And your fingerprint can (and will) be taken without your consent. And you cannot change your fingerprint if it gets compromised.

All those spy movies showing how trivial it is to circumvent biometric security have in common that whatever method they used was realistic.

Like that monkey experiment where they put food on top of a ladder but every time someone tries to get the food everybody gets sprayed with cold water. When they stop trying to get food they take one monkey out and put a new one in who gets beaten up by the others when it tries to get the food. So they substitute in new monkeys until none of the originals are left but they still beat up anyone trying to get the food although they don't know why.

bjoern_tantau ,
@bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de avatar

Yeah, probably.

Anyways, let's eat some non-pig meat and chop off some foreskins!

Just be a common degenerate like we all are and pile your garbage up. Then it will be the exacts correct size.

They are set up automatically on OpenSUSE and make a new snapshot before and after every program installation, update and removal. Awesome for general peace of mind and especially when you're up to strange shenanigans.

E2EE via server sounds wrong.

It's a standard to display programs and let them interact with each other. The old way is X11 which is a big program handling all of that. With Wayland every desktop and window manager (like KDE, Gnome, i3wm, Sway, etc) take up the role of Xorg themselves, giving them better control.

Every program has to be changed to work with Wayland. Those that don't run through Xwayland, a program mimicking the old X11 standards on Wayland.

bjoern_tantau ,
@bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de avatar

Remembering window placements should be possible on KDE with Kwin rules. Maybe your window manager has something similar.

bjoern_tantau ,
@bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de avatar

Easy. Just create a rule not matching a particular window and set position to "Remember".

Why the downvote?

Just tried it myself on Plasma 6.0.4 on Wayland. OpenSUSE Tumbleweed. Works perfectly fine.

I know what you mean. I also prefer While You Were Slapping.

Whatever. The bear sex announcement was a marketing genius move. It got everyone talking about the game. Of course it helped that they then also delivered.

Serious question: What makes Arch's package manager so "great"? I always just found it confusing to use. The flags don't make any sense to me. It feels like you have to add a varying number of s or y to get it to do what you want. I never found it to be any faster or slower than any of the others (apart from portage of course) out there. And apart from the flags it doesn't seem to give me any more or less trouble than the others.

This got me to convince my wife to switch to Linux again. She had the last Windows device in our household. She needed it for proprietary kitchen planners.

Now she's ranting about enshittification.

bjoern_tantau ,
@bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de avatar

A kitchen planner is a program that lets you enter your room dimensions and then lets you fit kitchen cupboards, shelfs, cabinets and appliances in there. Ideally it comes with everything your supplier or contractor has on offer. Especially for colors and designs, but more importantly dimensions.

Luckily they are usually web based nowadays.

Outside of games Wine still doesn't cut it for many programs. Plus this was before Proton.

Thank you for your service! o7

Be sure to add your findings to Wine's AppDB.

I'm too lazy to open the article and just hope that he's dissing AI Tupac in the clear knowledge that he's probably using AI Tupac to make the track.

Here, let me downvote your comment for you. Can you feel that?

Which was launched by your kernel which in turn was launched by systemd-boot. Now isn't that cute?

bjoern_tantau ,
@bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de avatar

At least you can launch those without their launchers.

Of course you could always add GOG Galaxy to Steam to get the ultimate perversion.

bjoern_tantau ,
@bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de avatar

Don't know how to do it from Steam, but you can just launch their main game exes. On Linux you could add the exe to Steam or just use Wine or your Wine frontend of choice.

By now it is widely used in my family as backup for our smartphone photos and important documents on PCs. In addition we use it for our calendars, contacts, notes and passwords.

I'm also investigating whether it's useful to track recipes for the food we normally eat to help manage our usual "what should we eat today" and "what groceries should we buy this week" questions.
