Or they see this court success as a good thing and that a market will always need careful guidelines to prevent a company from being able to make insanely greedy decisions.

Heeey I am also a libertarian, I just tend towards left libertarian. Back to the point of discussion, I find it difficult to ha e a meaningful conversation with the tankies or in general anyone from lemmy.ml . The discussions tend to lack any real data and feel entirely vibe based OR it’s apologist bullshit for Russia.

Like it’s cool if you like communism and have a philosophy based around why you think it’ll help humanity. I can politely disagree but still listen and discuss. It’s quite another to just be a complete dipshit and say “Ukraine had the invasion coming” (actual quote I’ve seen).

It’s what Ive come to expect from the lemmy.ml instance and I finally blocked the entire instance.

Are you developing your opinions based on vibes or have you actually audited their software yourself (you are free to do so both client and federation server code)?

If you audited it, have you produced an actual report with metrics and points of reference for your data points?

Not sure which country you live in, but renter’s insurance covered a stolen item for me when I was renting. Worth a check if you have a similar thing.

Please explain the edit a bit

Edit: also thank you for the info. I had only ever seen a picture with the quote and his face. So the video source is new for me and given the stated age, not faked.

Another commentor corrected my info.

I had suspected it was faked because I only ever saw his picture and a quote like it was designed to look like a magazine. Turns out it’s a direct quote from an Oprah interview he did in the late 80’s

I suspect it was faked personally

I would pay money to keep Firefox foss for other people who can’t afford to do so.

She’s not wrong though

Catch me up on the drama please?

Devs are hardcore tankies. It’s unfortunate

Wrong. Gimme a black woman to vote for and I’ll do it.

I’m pissed because we pissed away the emcumbant advantage but what’s done is done, here’s hoping we get to celebrate the first female president instead of orange Hitler.

Gotcha gotcha, I’ve had to go from zero to hero more times than I can count. It was a mandate at the start ups where I was the sole DevOps guy. It’s been a boon at my large well established company. I’d say I’m not a fan but first I did it I got an unexpected raise so life was good

Homie, I work in IT. I graduated from college with a degree in network security. So please consider that experience as your read my response.

This is a problem caused by companies putting in the minimum of effort to secure their systems and no effort to have a valid server back up strategy.

I’ll try and keep things high level since I don’t know if you’re in the field or not but you sound like you aren’t. In short, a driver (something low level used for an operating system to interact with a piece of hardware usually) got released which was full of bunk data. That caused a blue screen of death. This is a fixable situation you need to reboot your computer into a mode called “safe mode” and delete the bunk driver.

That’s not the problem though, the problem is when you use another piece of security software called bitlocker to enceypt your enterprise equipment AND servers. You can’t reboot into safe mode without a decryption key which most companies store on a piece of server software (called active directory) on a server … which is also using both crowdstrike and bitlocker.

Your data is inaccessible and the best option is to restore from a backup which as we’re seeing, few people have.

This isn’t a cyber attack. This is human incompetence and business greed.

I have contact with someone trying to float the idea because she doesn’t understand tech.

To her, it’s because it’s the biggest IT outage ever and it happened 6 days after the failure to assassinate Trump.

If you’re referring to audiophiles, I believe it’s because they are acknowledging they know enough to say they are an amateur but recognize there are people who call themselves an audiophile just because they say “vinyl is the superior sound” without any justification of that opinion, which is an accurate observation of the divisions amongst audiophiles.

Better is definitely relative, but I think vinyl is much more enjoyable and experience for me personally.

also, I don’t like the crackle so I religiously clean each side of the disk to remove any dust before playing and it sounds wonderful. I’ve gotten compliments to that effect so definitely worth the effort.

Wasn’t the failed assassin a registered Republican?

Apology accepted, it’s difficult to tell tonal context on the Internet.
