Still claiming WA messages are e2ee? The MITM is even paraphrasing the content back to you.

So, use an apt frontend that does that. I prefer to use apt search and apt show to find packages and then follow links if I want to read more. I was happy when I could remove aptitude, synaptic, deselect and whatever and just install what I wanted and only what I wanted instead. Also debfoster.

I think that “mental illness” kind of comments would come from people whose attitude for safety in many aspects of life is “that’s never going to happen (to me)”. Those people exist, so sooner or later you’ll see comments like that.

On the other hand everybody is trying to find a balance in convenience and safety and the situations and environments and life on general for one person can be quite different from that of some others’. So what’s adequate for one won’t be for another.

It’s like PPE or personal finance or many other things. There’s no one size that fits all and finding the right fit isn’t easy. For a lot of us it’s work in progress. Sometimes you know what’s definitely needed and tweak the details. Sometimes you know something is not going well and needs to change.

Maybe it’s enough to say that it’s complicated and have some compassion and support for people that think it isn’t. Or people that think it’s all too much to handle.

That’s the joke. Iirc, there were lots of news of seemingly insane driving by people blindly following the navigation in Apple devices some years ago. (Might be quite a few years now)

Impersonating police or military is usually a very high risk thing to be doing.

There’s a stair going down to a carpark near here that every few years somebody tries to drive up or down.

Of course it’s usually covered in snow when that happens, though, so you can’t see the steps.

Or used Apple maps to navigate.

Also about fourth grade history.

A city that’s barely a hundred years old isn’t really relevant when talking about history of the human race predating the invention of bottles.

Earliest glass bottles are thought to be from 1500 BC according to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glass_bottle. Even plastic bottles might be twice as old as Vegas according to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline_of_plastic_development but that depends on definition of plastic.

If there is a civic duty in a democracy, this is it.

Probably the slowest I’ve used was a 25 MHz(?) sparcstation 1, 500 MB drive, 16 MB RAM. Or some 90’s arm box. Netwinder? iPAQ?

It’s kind of terrible how huge even tiny distributions are these days. But these days there’s cheap low power draw hardware and big storage available that works great and that’s nice. I don’t miss the bad old times.

Bless the AAs down in Africa.

I think that was about eighth grade biology when I was in school along with other body chemistry basics. Very weird article.

That’s almost always false unless the hardware is faster and thus more power hungry and hot than your CPU. That’s rarely true. Some fpga accelerator? Maybe. GPU/TPU? Sure. Your hard drive? Not a chance that it would have even remotely competitive processor.

The point of hardware acceleration is usually that your CPU doesn’t need to do a task so there’s less CPU load and it can spend that time running applications or respond faster.

If it runs it’s 1.0. yes, that’s the point where it prints hello world. This zero point bs naming in projects is just idiotic.

There was definitely an illusion.

Thank you. I’ve seen that one before. Maybe it’s time to dive in again. I even have a spare box to try on.
