There’s a lot of issues with Rust taking more and more of the kernel. I’d like to see the whole kernel transitioned to Rust, but the project can’t stand still for that amount of time. Unless someone is willing to take that on, I think it’s better that Rust “stay in it’s lane”, as gross as that sounds.
That’s more what I mean. They won’t break the encryption, but at that point with physical access to my home/ computer/ servers, I have bigger problems.
There’s very little stored locally that could be worse than a situation where someone has physical access to my machine.
I used to, but it’s proven to be a pain more often than a blessing. I’m also of the opinion that if a bad actor capable of navigating the linux file system and getting my information from it has physical access to my disk, it’s game over anyway.
Yeah but that’s missing the flair required by people who spend their evenings adjusting the radial blur on the window borders.
In the modern day, sometimes it’s just nice to be able to say “I did that!”.
Same reason I look in the toilet.
I watched LTT for years, since we were the same age, and NCIX was my local computer shop.
I noticed a steep decline in quality as LMG got bigger, and a greater focus on personalities and entertainment rather than substance. There’s a market for that, and it appeals to the less knowledgeable or as an entry to tech as a hobby, or even people who just want tech-adjacent entertainment. I can’t deny the reach and impact this team has, but the content isn’t for me anymore.
Man, in the eighties, the rapid development of Japan technologically and in corporate culture, we were convinced everyone was going to be working for some branch of Mitsubishi.
It was actually scary how fast they were developing tech, and how fast it was overcoming domestic appliances.
Isn’t this basically what all early cyberpunk boils down to?
“I…innocent soles…”
Well this is what happens when you let fish plan your campaigns.
Fill some plastic bones from Walmart with some shot pellets.
Warhammer 40k Orks also possess psychic abilities in large numbers. This is why they’re so awesome to me, if enough 40k Orks believe something, they will it into being. Yellow rockets make bigger explosions simply because they think it should.
Yes, if the issue was a moral one. This issue, however, is a legal one.
It sucks if well meaning people are caught up in this, but it also sucks if you’re living in the aggressor state of an ongoing war.
My younger friend asked why some old cars had a piece of plexiglass on the front of the hood.
I had to explain that thirty years ago, in this area, you would drive through enough bugs in a day to cover your windscreen. The bug shield would help deflect them. It was a pretty grim lunch after that.
I left windows years ago. I only need it for a couple really restrictive apps, so I dual boot, but I only boot in every few months.
I stopped playing games that use aggressive anticheat as well. 99% of the games I was playing work great, all I lost really was Fortnite and destiny 2, which is worth my sanity dealing with Windows nonsense.
I e been telling people who switch to; think of it like moving house. When you move to a new house, the bathroom isn’t in the same place and the kitchen is different, it’s up to you whether the new location is better or not. If you expect your new house to have all the same rooms in all the same places as your old house you’ll always be disappointed the whole time. Linux is a different house, pick a house that suits your needs and you’ll be happy.
Imo, your biggest enemy here is going to be battery life. I bought a sale-priced Lenovo t14s and I always keep a battery back in my bag just in case.
With a low power profile, having Eclipse open, a web browser to view slides/ documents and Logseq for notes my battery lasts most of the day but if I forget to charge it, it’s a pain to use pen and paper for notes.
An older laptop will have a degraded battery, and you really want maximum lifetime with multiple classes in a day.
In 2003 I learned to drive in a 1986 Hyundai Pony. The breaking point was when I got a stop sign on a slight incline and my dad had to get out while I floored it so the car could get moving again.
I’m just mad as hell at how many things seem to have topped out in the 1940’s. My car is basically the same. Five wheels and I chase an explosion around. Air travel is basically the same. Big aluminum tube that’s expensive size as hell. TV is basically the same. Tune in, sit on ass, watch.
You look at how life changed between 1900-1945, and how life changed since then, and we’ve really stagnated.
That’s not to say it’s all the same, phones are amazing, but they don’t change my life fundamentally, a day without my phone is very much the same as a day with my phone.
If you’re a sewer, you can probably convert some fabric and a cloths hanger into something similar.
I haven’t played Minecraft since they took it from me.
