  1.  @Xaito  Funny, but my working title is "Ocean", because they're bigger than C's.

  2. I would definitely not recommend zip encryption. It is very weak and easily bypassed. Even 7zip as several have recommended is a bad idea. PGP is a somewhat odd solution because it's mostly for sending things to someone else on an untrusted network. You could make two public and private keys and make like you're sending it to yourself, but that's awkward. Of course, this would make for a really secure transfer as you could physically transport the keys for your split personality to a secondary location and be mostly sure that the data hasn't been compromised as no one would ever see either public key except for you.

  3. Not that I would condone downloading Linux ISO's, but why would anyone need larger than 720p ISO's as your eyeballs can only take in so much Linux. Linux looks perfect at 720p on a 40inch monitor.

  4. Your average Rust user isn't intelligent enough to do it. And the vulnerability would still exist in a Rust program as well because it's a string parsing error and has nothing to do with the fake promise of memory safety.

  5. I've been using it since before it was even FireFox. Remember when it was called Phoenix? Remember before that when it started as just Mozilla? Although, for a good decade or so I used Opera as my main browser, once they went Chromium they killed my enthusiasm for the internet. Now my only hope is that someone wipes out HTML/CSS/JS and gives us something better. I will probably die hoping.

  6.  @Hexen_Wulf  Sure, and that's always an option, but I'd rather not have to as I'm lazy. Besides, if I started down that path I might not stop until it's an entirely new game. I might start incorporating Sixel into it, and then where would we be.

  7.  @koolkrafter5  Yes! Death match time! I vote for the original Unreal or UT, still some good servers running.

  8. For starters it would be more secure without that network connection.

  9. They already smear my browser by restricting it to 720p, and I refuse to use anything Chromium based, especially now with the manifest v3 fiasco, but they've started going around my ad blocker and playing the sound of ads. Apparently the image of the videos are blocked, but the sound comes through. What makes it worse is they took away a key usage methodology for me to load the page in the background to block autoplay which I have turned off and they still ignore if that page is in focus, but now with ads I literally can't block autoplay ever. TL;DR - Fuck YouTube.

  10.  @RanEncounter  Why not both? Have good public transit so that people can save money and get around, but if they have the funds to drive their own car. Not to mention, in an emergency you won't be able to merely use public transit to say get to a hospital. When seconds count, the next bus is 10 minutes away.

  11.  Skyrkazm 101  That all depends on the distro you use. For newbies I always recommend either Mint or Fedora. They're both super easy to setup and use and they look nice by default. If you want my advice for a desktop environment to use, KDE is easy to use and configure and can look and feel like old Windows with a bunch of extra stuff that IMO makes it far better than Windows was then and now. Or you could take a complete 180º and go with GNOME and you might find you like the change in pace.

  12.  @Minecraftzocker135  The problem is that it can lead to the creation of factions and more insidious censorship than the centralized platforms. Sounds very much like the setup for Civil War 2.0: Electric Boogaloo.

  13.  @arandomhumanbeing2464  Are you claiming that merely closing your eyes will make it cease to function? Because I've seen them be unlocked with eyes shut. Yes, iPhones, and if someone is dead, you can easily pull their eyelids back anyway.

  14. I'd say it's a feature, not a bug, and no one should use twitter because that's what all the social media companies do.

  15. Nice, I might actually message people with my phone then, as opposed to now where I only take photos of #2's in case anyone steals it.

  17. I wish people would grow some intelligence and outright ban this technology from being developed. Unfortunately, morons have let the genie out of the bottle and foreign nations are experimenting with the technology and thus the world will be destroyed because of it. Not by it, but because of it. For those too dumb to understand how, consider a person building a bunch of drones with cameras in them and setting up the NN to recognize human shapes and trigger a remote explosive or attached gun to eradicate that shape. Then consider them setting up 3D printers to print as many drones as they can and set up an assembly line and just hit the start button. It doesn't take a particularly large sum of cash to build enough infrastructure, but one can work around the off the shelf component limitation by designing the right process. Once someone intelligent enough and evil enough to execute such a plan comes into the picture, humanity will be doomed. At this point it's just a matter of time.

  18.  @drxstudio1473  Indeed, it's all about control. People don't seem to understand that money is only a means to an end for them, not their end goal. They could actually make more money by not pissing off potential customers and make unobtrusive ads that just sit there as a static image and link to their website, but then they couldn't control people.

  19.  @illdeletethismusic  I miss it too. They had this awesome feature of forcing your own stylesheet on pages that gave me dark mode without a stupid plugin before any dark mode plugins even existed. I had so many more options then than I do now, even controlling how to highlight links, which I made bright-ish and both under and over lined but only when you hovered.

  21. This game looks like if MineCraft were good. Though the AI is kind of dumb, still looks like fun. Still can't believe how many uber large monsters you intentionally piss off. Shouldn't you eat those meat slivers? Wouldn't they replenish your health? I downloaded this a month or so back and just played for 5 minutes, but I haven't found time to play it again because I'm still packing and doing reno.

  22. It's not a bug, it's a design feature. They actively work against the little guys because they want the larger guys and thus more money.

  23.  @ChimeraX0401  True, but that's generally down to YT being incompetent at targeting the users they don't want versus ignoring those they do.

  24. In so far as it slows them down, it works, but it doesn't prevent them. You can still mass create email accounts and verify all day long with automation. It's just an extra step that maybe cuts their "productivity" in half.

  25. I completely understand. The more I learn of its community the more I wish it were erased from the face of the Earth.

  26. @@OpenWebChat If everyone is on the same time standard, adjusted for maximum benefit of farmers, and we just stick to that one time standard, then there would be no problems either way. All you're saying is leading to the obvious conclusion of don't change the clocks twice a year. Now we just need you and everyone else to realize that and we could stop changing our damn clocks.

  27.  @schwingedeshaehers  Yes, you have to have a github account to prove credentials that Epic authorizes by you registering with them as well.

  28.  @mattizie91  I said nothing about optimization, just I would want more features than it provides. I would ignore his schizophrenia and just add all the resolutions, colors and anything else. That is if I were doing it, if I had the time.

  29. For about a decade from the early aughts to the early teens I used elinks almost exclusively as my browser. A lot fewer websites back then required javascript to function. If only we could go back.

  31. I don't think I've ever seen anyone recommend a Cisco device. I've never used one either, maybe I was right to avoid them.

  34. If it's a range of something he could also use {1..9} or [1-9]. One thing I've found quite useful is when you want to match on 2 or more characters too, such as ls -d [Aa]?* to list everything that starts with an A or a but not merely a or A on their own. I have multiple folders that are sorted alphabetically.

  35. How about Cornelius P. Goatman? The P stands for Poindexter.

  36.  @barongerhardt  When I was a kid, one of our local channels had DS9, and they were perpetually fuzzy. The best you could adjust the antenna it still had roving dot patterns. I watched every single episode the first few times that way, new and repeats. Watching the show for the first time in years on Netflix with whatever image quality they have, it's obviously better than when the show was new, but it feels wrong to me somehow. You know what I mean?

  37. Given the bipartisan support, it's unfortunately likely that this bill will pass. We are truly witnessing the end times.

  38. This is one of the reasons why I backup all of my own data instead of letting some third party do it. Safer, more secure, and definitely more private.

  39.  @capability-snob  Except that it's not short for substitute, it means super user do. That said, I always pronounce it as soo-doe despite knowing the difference because I like the way it sounds more.

  40. As a KDE user, I'm interested in hearing more of this "configure it right" to use less RAM. I'm using over 4gb right now and I've barely got anything open.

  42. Yes, but antitrust laws require enforcement to actually have merit and with the current 'resident we will have no enforcement.

  43. I always felt like Chromium based browsers were childish with an oversimplified UI. Still haven't seen one that dissuades me of that belief. There simply aren't enough configurability options with it.

  45.  @JayDeezN  I prefer less barriers because I believe in free speech, even for morons. Although, given the overwhelming amount of them I can certainly understand your reticence. They do tend to ruin things.

  46.  @DVRC  I look at things a different way there. CISC allows for faster code execution, and the only reason why x86 has held onto its monopoly all of this time is because they actually did the work. No RISC architecture has kept up, even ARM. They just coast along doing the bare minimum. Sure, more power efficient, but if it takes you 10 times longer to do the same thing and frustrates users it's not any better. Apple is finally trying to compete, but with locked down hardware that you have to hack to use with an alternative with it's not doing RISC architectures any favor. Microkernels are great in theory, but without the industry at large helping to support such a model they're not realistic. All the major OS's are monolithic because it just works. All of the old drivers that are open source could certainly be converted, but to get widespread acceptance we'd need the hardware manufacturers to cooperate and on new hardware especially. Getting such cooperation for Linux is hard enough as it is but imagine trying to get all of those that contributed binary blobs that work one way to go back and change all of their work from the past 5 to 10 years around to another way of working.

  48.  @ararune3734  Indeed, people are lazy and don't want to learn anything, even if switching to an alternative product were insanely easy and would work better. Often changes in interface are a problem. I pushed my parents into using LibreOffice, since at the time I got them to switch MS Office wasn't "free", and they hated it because everything "worked different". All they used at work was MSO and it was garbage and LO works mostly the same but with things in slightly different places, but every time they can't find something I get a call. Tried to show them that for every question they could just Duck It™ and there was almost always a clear and concise answer in the LO docs online, but ugh, every time.
