Hi I’m Tim.
I’m AuDHD - officially diagnosed ADHD and self-diagnosed (for now) with ASD. I also suffer from a great deal of Imposter Syndrome.
Doubling every year would be crazy unsustainable at Google scale, but to tell employees you need to do so every 6 months seems like a fever dream of someone that doesn’t understand what they are asking (or knows they aren’t responsible for actually doing it). The old “just throw it over the fence” approach that corporate kool-aid drinkers love because they can take credit and shift blame.
Also, I am not sure what security Podman under Distrobox is making worse. Got an example?
From the site …
Security implications
Isolation and sandboxing are not the main aims of the project, on the contrary it aims to tightly integrate the container with the host. The container will have complete access to your home, pen drive, and so on, so do not expect it to be highly sandboxed like a plain docker/podman container or a Flatpak.
You are suggesting Flatpaks for security? Um. Ok.
OP said …
But the question developed if it would be wise to use distrobox to execute random internet scripts without altering your base OS/putting your data to risk.
I was suggesting a Flatpak from a supported project over a random package from wherever being run as root on their box, yes.
And how is calling the entire Freedesktop platform just to run an app better than the much more limited dependencies that Distrobox will pull in? And, if I already use Podman, Flatpak is a lot of extra complexity compared to Distrobox.
And I just don’t see why I would install another insecure layer that is just going to use Docker/Podman, why not just install Docker/Podman and be done. And for a desktop app installing a Flatpak seems like a better tool than a pod/docker container if you can’t get a native package.
Just go CachyOS if you can’t be bothered with Arch proper. Running an insecure container layer that brings another whole distro so you can run an app is weird when flatpaks exist for this purpose, and are much better suited for this. Seems like you’re creating a “problem” that doesn’t exist and then coming up with the most complicated way to solve this made up “problem”.
When companies have to start funding their own networks because ISPs are all down, or just known to be compromised due to bad actors, it’s going to hit capitalism over the head pretty hard. This is a great way to tank the stock market though if you are betting against “Tech” companies.
Carr said the vote scheduled for November 20 comes after “extensive FCC engagement with carriers” who have taken “substantial steps… to strengthen their cybersecurity defenses.”
Well if they say their doing it, then surely they are, and not just because the law your trying to change required them to. It’s like when Republicans want to deregulate the banks because they are doing so well not exploiting predator loans and/or over leveraging loans trying to make even more $. Deregulation cannot, and will not, work in a capitalist environment. Regulation is the guard rails required to keep capitalism from cannibalizing itself.
Yeah, but that is a task made more difficult by my reluctance to be social.
I will perseverate on a topic going back to it because I need to info dump, but most people just don’t care about things to the same level of detail. =(
I meant changing to Linux doesn’t make sense for you if the games you play have 0% compatibility on Linux. I was agreeing with you! I guess I could have worded that better, sorry about that.
The big issue is I think a large percentage of that group of gamers would love to drop the overhead of Windows but devs are making games designed around Windows lock-in because that is where the user base is. It’s like a circular scenario where unless one of them is willing to break the circle it’s going to continue for the foreseeable future.
I think the point is that they outnumber us by many billions, but humans see themselves as ruling the earth because of our size.
I agree that for you it doesn’t make sense, but outside of the “competitive” FPS genre compatibility covers most everything else, minus things with crazy kernel level DRM rootkits. But you really shouldn’t be playing those on Windows either IMHO. And if more people didn’t support them on Windows devs might be forced to use compatible anti-cheat that would benefit gamers on all platforms.
I’m also a casual gamer that will just move onto something else in my backlog if a dev breaks proton compatibility.
I hope with a fascist version to spread their “truth” they will leave Wikipedia alone.
Depending on the product, the manufacturer themselves might link you to their “store” on Amazon. =(
Yeah, follow through is not always the same dopamine but that the idea/planning was for sure. I have a continuous list of things that I think of, and research the hell out of, then move onto the next oh shiny! …
Well your only going to be as fast as the slowest server in that chain, with all the latency/any dropped packets/etc. driving down your speeds. Also, if it’s built for security it almost certainly isn’t prioritizing speed test traffic of all things.
If they were a “computer person” enough to know how, or willing to let the Geek Squad over charge them for something as simple as installing more RAM or HD upgrade. But yes, it’s not like a TPM that would require a motherboard swap, which isn’t a thing for laptops outside of Framework (and then only just recently).
They are pro white-collar crimes (unless it hits their bottom line personally), and paint minorities and anyone left of fascist as “real criminals”.
Some people did as they didn’t meet that min specs, but it wasn’t for something silly like the TPM requirement. Locking 11 behind a non-serviceable upgrade is artificially creating e-waste, and they should be forced to pay for it all to be properly recycled, but capitalism cares more about making the graph go up than becoming the earth from Wall-E
The same was said when Microsoft sunset XP and “forced” everyone to use Windows 10 - the last Windows™.
Well doing it themselves would be ambitious for a small dev, which would almost certainly lead to devs using these fly-by-night “verification” companies that you hope are doing the right thing with everyones info.
This sounds like a headache for Google and Apple, and if I was a small dev I would just geo-block Texas rather than jump through their useless hoops.
[Disclaimer: I’m not Jewish] This seems more antisemite than boycotting Israel does, because this (IMHO taking into account the disclaimer) seems like someone that can’t separate a government from a people, or basically “everything Jewish is the same”. Similar to how many in government can’t separate being Muslim, or Arab, from [insert US declared “terrorist country”].
