Because of the implication that something could go wrong if you didn’t work for them on their boat.

Even if there was, look who’s in power. Even if judges ruled against Heritage, I’m not holding my breath of them getting any sort of accountability.

I felt like Matrix Resurrections was kind of a circle jerk against itself.

Boss: “Mr. Anderson. We want you to write a game for this old franchise”

Neo: “but it’s dead. Why don’t we make something new, and exciting.”

Boss: “💵”

Jesus fucking Christ …GitHub actions is free for open source.

And they still put their binaries behind a paywall?

When you’re discussing your own OPSEC (Operational Security for those unaware), you have to evaluate and determine your personal threat profile. Generally speaking, you need to determine what risks you’re willing to accept, what risks you’re willing to mitigate, and what risks you will not tolerate. There’s a whole field of IT dedicated to this but the general idea is for you to understand that there is no perfect solution and everything is a trade off.

There is an inherent risk to downloading pirated software, especially software that you use for private activities (e.g. finances, etc.). With today’s landscape of mining crypto, I’d go so far as to say almost any pirated software is at risk of this.

I would agree that generally playing media files is relatively low risk (though there was a vulnerability I read about a few years back of a zip-type attack. The details allude me at the moment).

But for executables, you basically have two options:

• spin up a VM to host your executable, sandboxing it from everything else.
• trust the people who are providing the executable and run it on your computer

Personally, I avoid pirated executables. More often than not I can find a similar open source product that I can download. My risk tolerance is not only low, but I don’t see the benefits of using a particular company’s software especially if an open source is available.

I don’t think so. I just rewatched it. It’s the one where Data finds out something to make himself more human. Picard tells him something profound and moving.

The one where there’s a problem with the holodeck.

I’d say the crime he committed was thinking Trump would keep his promise even after bribing him.

How anyone can trust this motherfucker is beyond me.

I’m a Taylor Swift fan (not a Swifty) but I’m 100% with you.

I pirate her music (tbf all music). I’ve gotten into heated arguments on Lemmy on how she’s one of the “good” ones.

No such thing as a good billionaire.

I switched from Apache to nginx maybe 10 or so years ago and haven’t looked back.

So much easier to configure

My biggest issue with meat substitutes is that I’m allergic to soy. Pea protein products often use beets which I’m also allergic to.

I really want to try them but it’s usually one of those two ingredients that stop me.

Pumfu though, is great as is lion’s mane mushroom crumble. These have helped me go meatless Mondays. They are pricey though.

Which…is absolutely wild. The government should absolutely be funding vulnerability research. If anything so that they can exploit them.

But I suspect they are taking the corporate approach. The foundation is going to do the research anyway and publish it widely. Just take advantage while adding nothing of value in return.

God I hate this fucking timeline.

I haven’t seen a “don’t vote in elections” stance myself but the fact that you can say that and not get banned is a positive.

I’d say dbzer0 is probably the most leftist, at least from what I’ve seen. I personally don’t go as far as being an anarchist but can appreciate the philosophy. I probably have more in common with anarchy than democratic/plurality governance, if I’m being honest with myself.

Not that I disagree with your point, but Florida law is only relevant within Florida and, to a limited extent, the United States. Admins of US-based instances could likely be subpoenaed and then held in contempt if they refused, assuming they don’t pull a PornHub and just block all of Florida.

That said, this is very worrying since subpoenas have a MUCH lower threshold of legal bearing than warrants. I suspect that Apple will likely challenge this in court or they stop selling iPhones there.

Four things went for Musk:

• he was rich
• he had a passing resemblance to Robert Downey Jr.
• he made was closely associated with futuristic hardware (we don’t seem to value revolutionary software the same way as hardware)
• he was rich

In all honesty, a lot of solo developers who are directly responsible for the internet as we know it should be getting far more credit than rich ass holes but here we are.

Edit: correct

To a certain extent, honor among thieves typically only exists within their own group.

The administration is setting things up so their grifters won’t get charged.

If someone grifted them, the FBI would absolutely investigate them.

It looks like outerbase studio is primarily written in typescript where adminer is php.

Dude. We’re on Lemmy. Don’t be advertising some closed source app.

Missl is the best federated, defense first, FOSS war planning app available. You can self host using docker or use one of the many public instances.
