I noped out of arch during setup. It expected me to partition the drive for swap/os/usr. It’s not 1996, I’m not doing that today.

It would have blown Orwell’s mind that people would excitedly pay for spying devices and carefully place them in every room for maximum effectiveness.

if there was not as much scare of nuclear power.

I was pro nuclear until solar became cheaper than nuclear but I think if there was less scare about nuclear, there would have been more Chernobyls. That happened because of thinking it’s completely safe.

Who screwed in vga carefully every time? Without the screws vga was worse.

You can get HDMI with a lock tab . I hate that too. Nothing worse than trying to reach behind a wall mount to squeeze the lock tab.

In response to German purity laws, IBM has added an optional field to their citizen database. It just defines a field “Is Jewish” so it’s standardized, but entirely optional. IBM does nothing with the data.

What a nothing burger.

That was what someone claimed but it isn’t true. Filenames are not accessible in an encrypted zip.

They not only look at your files but will decrypt any encrypted zip files to see what you have.

Yeah. Everyone was moving to CD-R.

The security is monitoring your public records. Could you link to any of their services that aren’t about public records like titles, credit cards, credit ratings? Because that’s all I saw on their website.

There’s another company named aura that appears to be completely unrelated that provides security services in Malaysia- like physical guards for your business.

I get the idea of mocking security companies that get hacked. But this is a bad example. All their data was already public.

It would be like being mad at Lemmy because your username jjlinux and all your posts got “hacked” and posted to the Internet.

A mouthful of salmonella.

I was soo excited about ls120. Zip drive capacity in a 1.44 MB disc format with backwards compatibility. How could it not become the next big thing?

I self host everything except email but how do you keep your credit report private? How do you keep your email completely private given it’s use is to send to other people?

I didn’t know what Aura was until writing this. They are a company that notifies you if credit card was stolen or other identity theft has happened. That’s already public. Your email is already public.

Yes, The OP claimed that horses for transport is what saved them from extinction. But everything he said was wrong. Horses outcompeted the native fauna of Central Asia to become established before domestication AND didn’t occupy the same habitat as cows.

It seems unnecessary duplication of effort to repeat everything on different platforms. I’d rather get people to use Lemmy by not having Lemmy seem dead.

It’s not that it’s slower than ext4 but that btrfs itself has gotten slower.

I don’t understand how people have time for multiple social media. How do you read/reply to everything on Lemmy and do something else?

outcompeted by cows

I’m going to need a source because there are many herbavores in central asia where the modern horse originated (after crossing the Bering straight) which means horses outcompeted the local fauna to establish a population. Meanwhile cows were in southern Asia. So there was limited overlap in habitat.

I use fake toner in my brother.

It’s not inkjet but you can get passible color on laser. You need to go into settings and tell it it’s a photo and you want max quality. I have a Brother color laser.

I have no idea what the admins are doing with lemmy.world but every day the ai_reddit community posts are near the top despite only 1 upvote on posts and I’m not subscribed to that community.
