  • The nerve of some people, raised in a barn or somethin stg 😤

  • Same is true for games on Steam if the developer decides not to use Steam integration (some features like achievements are ok I think). For example Noita doesn't need Steam running, you can just copy the folder to another machine AFAIK

    also there are Steam emulators

  • Please note that the first paragraph in the screenshot does not refer to Trump. It's still a Leopard eats my face moment, but not sure to the affordable housing stuff.

  • Trump Agriculture Chief Admits Deportations Have Caused a Big Problem

    Jump

  • It's just unfortunate that this BS is the way society is forced to realize that agriculture is built on exploitation, this isn't meant to be a "both sides" moment but neither Reps nor Dems ever really cared about this. It was just always hypocritical to hate on the undocumented while relying on them

    However, we all know that this administration will find the worst and inhumane way to deal with the situation.

  • Elon Musk says he's formed the 'America Party.' Trump says he's gone 'off the rails.'

  • Kettles aren't black, they're metallic, and when the pot calls the kettle black, it only sees its own reflection. But both Musk and Trump are turds. No need for reflection

  • New Linux Security Flaw Uses Initramfs to Inject Malware

    Jump

  • There are probably cases where turning off Secure Boot is fine. If you make that decision for yourself and are aware of the implications, go ahead. My remark wasn't against users turning it off, but rather against the advice of "just turn it off lol"

  • New Linux Security Flaw Uses Initramfs to Inject Malware

    Jump

  • This is true, unfortunately some Linux users have been conditioned to "just turn off Secure Boot" without understanding what this actually means and entails.

  • New Linux Security Flaw Uses Initramfs to Inject Malware

    Jump

  • This is an issue with these half-baked security solutions.

    Don't get me wrong: the setup protects against some very common threats (i.e. device gets stolen). But they're unsuited for evil maid attacks.

    Secure Boot isn't flawless, but it can improve system security if used correctly; unfortunately, most distributions don't go all the way as demonstrated here. I guess this can be solved via UKIs, but anything built on the users machine like an initramfs can't be signed properly if no user TPM keys are enrolled and available during generation.

    The issue I have with all this is that these distributions don't really tell you that the security they provide is ultimately limited. Personally, I have custom TPM keys, the initramfs is signed, I unlock via TPM PIN and the emergency mode is disabled. Also UEFI needs to be password protected so that an attached can't modify your booting parameters, though this couldn't be done undetected because it'd break TPM supported boot.

  • ‘You can’t pause the internet’: social media creators hit by burnout

    Jump

  • My point was not only that aspect, but also about the fact that input and output of the task is information. And while information itself can be a "product" or be provided as a service, in most cases, it's not.

    But anyhow, I feel like I'm overexplaining myself over a term I said wasn't good.

  • Let’s Encrypt Begins Supporting IP Address Certificates

    Jump

  • Think that's called NATing

  • ‘You can’t pause the internet’: social media creators hit by burnout

    Jump

  • With administrative, I meant that IT is a about information flow - defining rules how data is consumed, transformed and ultimately output. These by definition of a classic business I'd see as administrative.

    I agree the wording isn't good, and I didn't mean it as in "anyone working in IT is just performing administrative tasks", but rather that the field of IT is traditionally more of an enabler of other businesses.

    The mechanic is usually the actual worker - you run a repair shop - but his spare parts management is an administrative task, and nowadays usually implemented by an IT solution.

  • ‘You can’t pause the internet’: social media creators hit by burnout

    Jump

  • At least in some cases, it might just be wholesome advice. The fact that you have "a job" and a whole different persona from that and they're two separate things that sometimes intertwine probably brings you closer to us in administrative tasks (in the end, IT is by definition always something administrative rather than actually productive) than me as in an IT guy with an influencer. Because ultimately, your actual identity is your job, and by conclusion, your whole life is performative, which sounds REALLY exhausting

  • Tesla's Cybertruck flop is historic. The brand collapse is even worse

    Jump

  • Thay said, they still sell a shit load of cars.

    It's only a meaningful metric if there are margins in these sales, which I'm not totally doubting, but the number alone doesn't tell everything

  • Not only because of you, but also because of Obama and Biden

  • Gitlab closed their epic for ActivityPub Integration - people aren't happy

    Jump

  • Gitlab is a product for enterprises which usually selfhost private repositories, I don't think they give a damn about community stuff.

    Yeah there are paying customers that want this, but I don't think they see a business case, but rather a maintenance burden.

  • TIL that RFC 4180 specifies the CSV format to use CRLF line endings

    Jump

  • I think csv is a bad format, if you can even call it that. Yes, there are some cases where it makes sense. I worked with an oscilloscope at uni which output csv. But other than that, I consider it more of a concept than an interface / exchange standard

  • It doesn't only refer to those laying the path, but also to those that enable and make alliances with fascists because it's the convenient thing to do or some of the goals align. E.g. our centrist or rather formally centrist party is sometimes referred as that because they shift the discussion to the right and enact anti-social policies that drive people to the extremist parties though they don't coalise.
