  • The key was published in the files. It's not suspicious to use the key given that it's public info; it's not illegal to read the released files.

  • I think the point of the reddit screenshot is to show what Windows users are putting up with, not to share the meme itself.

  • This is just an archive. No different from using the wayback machine or any other archive of web content.

  • 10 years old is 2016. That's not that old. I still have multiple devices from 2017 going strong, and they don't feel old.

  • Security and difference of design philosophy. I run OpenBSD on one of my machines and I enjoy it. It has better software availability than I expected and it feels like a neater, more minimal system than Linuxes. Definitely falls into the "hobbyist computing" category rather than something I'd recommend for a practical use case, but it's fun.

  • I think it's just clickbait/being hyperbolic. I imagine the videos themselves are just normal tutorials or intros to the topic.

  • People play games for different reasons. A lot of people play games to relax, and challenge themselves doing serious stuff. It's literally fine for things like cheats to exist (and there's no such thing as cheating for singleplayer games anyway). If someone wants to make their singleplayer game easier, or to skip a particularly hard section, or whatever, it doesn't affect anyone else in any way, so let them.

  • These look SO GOOD! I've been making salt and pepper tofu lately and I think I'm getting into battered tofu. Will have to try this at some point. Thanks for the recipe!

  • If OP were smart (and they seem like an intelligent enough person) they would've thrown in some false red herrings to make it not seem like them. Maybe they quit a while ago, or maybe they haven't handed in their notice yet. etc. Hopefully that's the case. And hopefully they reach out to a journo to get this reported on.

    On the other hand hopefully their red herrings don't get some other person falsely implicated.

  • Why can’t I have a file in two folders? Why does one have to be a “reference”?

    You can do this... Hard links. Neither file is more "canonical" than the other.

  • Sauces for what? A lot of sauces you can buy pre-made and are perfectly acceptable—also some sauces you would not normally make yourself, e.g. soy sauce.

    Sauces as in dipping sauces, I normally use pre-made hot sauce.

    You can also make a lot of passable pasta sauces very easily. One way is to fry up garlic, chilli, and any other aromatics you like in a pan. Add white wine. Add parsley. Add pasta water. Add spaghetti (or other pasta).

    Another pasta sauce I like that's very easy to make is just putting silken tofu and miso paste into a blender/food processor and blending until creamy smooth. There should not be any chunks; it should be completely smooth and creamy. If you see any lumps at all, keep blending—it will get smooth. That makes for a good creamy vegan sauce you can put on pasta or other things.

  • Why not? Of course people who make something (in this case, a programming language) are going to promote what they make and share praise they've received. It's a pretty normal thing to do. They're not trying to obscure the fact that they're the Rust Foundation—it's on the Rust blog.

  • That's different to developing software. As a developer you are in large part responsible for ensuring that your software doesn't compromise your users' security. It's reasonable to not want to distribute software that may contain malware or just shitty code that is full of vulnerabilities or bugs.

  • They should be pretty on it for security updates. Librewolf is also hardened compared to upstream Firefox so if security is a concern, you're probably better off using the fork anyway.

  • If it's so easy to "use wrong" then it's badly designed software.

  • Nobody's saying it's mandatory. People don't want their web browsers to be full of bloated AI slop. Why should there be the AI components of Firefox on my hard drive if I'm never going to use them? Why should my web browser be full of low quality features I'll never use? It's enshittification. Not to mention the very quote you're pasting specifies that it's opt-out, not opt-in.

  • It increases the workload for fork devs the more crap they have to remove from upstream and the more the fork deviates from upstream.

  • I don't know what websites you're using, but default uBlock Origin works completely fine with all the websites I visit, and it doesn't use AI. It just uses blocking rules.

  • If you use a gtk theme they look fine. Most Linux users will have a gtk theme.
