Read only doesn’t cover what’s needed. You need something that holds a keys that cannot be extracted. Ideally, the institution sends it a challenge, it signs the challenge and returns it. You need the keys not to be retrievable.

Flashmob, everyone show up with any can of beans, place them on the porch and walk away.

meh, if the content is enjoyable and nobody is stinking up the place…

Yeah, pre-inflation a $50 meal for 4 was $75 and luke warm at best. A lot of my local places are now cresting $100 delivered.

That’s almost to the point where if someone on my HOA group said someone bring me a can of black beans for $15, it take a break and go get it for them.

Enpissification.

Builder charges X for a bathroom, builds it out of cheaper fixtures, gets signoff from the client by using “premium” trims that cost them pennies more.

The f’d up part is that for most things being enshittified, we’d GLADLY pay $1 more for the nicer product for them to include $0.10 of screws they’re saving by putthing crap together with plastic.

Especially in min-wage fast food, she was nice.

lockable/unlockable bootloader

quality control of the operating system to make sure it doesn’t contain malware/spyware

#1 without #2 is unsafe.

#2 doesn’t exist in android because of apps and vulnerabilities

Apple at least makes a good run at it.

Part of androids locking shit down is to try to make their own run at it.

I honestly think we’re all just going about it wrong. Make a new physical sim that is unclonable, undumpable, ultimately secure. Have it key sign financial transactions require a pin and have a physical button. If you don’t touch the button and have the pin, it won’t process a transaction.

Yeah, we had a problem like that in my food service journey in the 90’s.

Monday:

Place is busy

Front end girl runs up to the manager, girls room wall is smeared.

Manager goes in to clean it

Wednesday:

place gets busy

Manger herself walks into the restroom and it’s worse, comes back out to clean it. I offer to take care of it, i don’t love the idea, but I’m not grossed out very easily. (honestly, it was better than cleaning the grease traps, those things are miserable)

Thursday:

place gets busy.

Manager checks on the restroom, it’s clean

front end girl was taking her break on that side of the dining room.

One customer uses the restroom

Another front end girl goes in and the wall is smeared. Screams for the manager.

The customer looks all nervous and gets up to leave. The manager rips her a new asshole. Kicks her out in front of everyone in the dining room.

It was the 60yo who smelled strongly of cat urine. who’da thunk it.

I cleaned it again, got my pick of the shifts the rest of my days there. We never had another incident like that.

Of course, the men’s room is just always covered in urine. Old men and young kids miss, even people with aim splash back out of the toilet enough to get it on the walls/floor/under the urinals.

NYC has local laws that if you have less than 20 seats, you don’t need to provide bathrooms. And because it’s on the books and not rare, the businesses don’t suffer all that much from it.

Not OP, and i main linux on all fronts, but still have to have a few windows machines around:

There are still some viable gaming reasons, There’s still software like blue iris and corporate crap (Outlook, Office and you need to collaborate with office users). There are Adobe products, Autodesk products.

You can try to play swapsies with things here and there, but sometimes it’s more work than it’s worth and sometimes you’re straight up not allowed to swap.

My BlueIris Server: Press any key to install windows 11 Me: ehh fine, i don’t ever touch that box, Click My BlueIris Server: Sorry you computer doesn’t support windows 11, you should replace…

One day Frigate, one day, but today is not your day.

The difference between most GT and Standard classes lies in your ability and willingness to put in extra work.

Half the kids in the standard classes just want to skate along as easily as possible. Why stress and work hard when you get the same exact outcome in the end? It’s not like they want to go on to college, so why work hard now?

It’s not that different in the workforce in many places.

Most programming classes are bullshit. You come out with basic knowledge of practices that aren’t used in real production. They teach you how to write code, but they don’t teach you how code is written in most businesses.

Outside of actual gaming programs in colleges, new developers are generally bewildered and end up making stuff that’s hard to maintain.

We had a professor sit in with us for a few months once to get the gist of what was needed so he could form classes around game deveopment.

Nothing to install? Not with that attitude!

Start a 10" rack.

F7 is generally right, some distros change it up (nixos is 3)

I was doing horrible things the other day and ended up with my KDE login page not working when I came out of sleep.

CTRL+ALT+F2 > text login > loginctl unlock-sessions

I was so sad to see aero go, especially that sexy 3d task swapper

I’d give it a 50 chance of still working. Those old ferrite magnets had relatively-weak spread-out fields. It obv would have affected the whole platter, but the drives/software were pretty good at dealing with weak signals. We had disks, we had magnets and some of us were youngish and bored. you had to be a little persistent to even fuck the disk up a little.

Now, you place a running AC box fan’s motor right up to the drive, i’ll corrupt the f out of the disk, i did that before.

You used to be able to get a whole-ass router that fit on 1.2MB in the late 90’s.

Novell SPX routers also ran from a single floppy

Before bios supported bootable cd’s you needed them to get the windows 95 install started.

That said, this was an obvious joke image :)
