How so? I’ve been looking it over, and it doesn’t seem to have any of the enshittification I’ve seen all over Facebook (let alone Xitter, which is made entirely of festering anus now).

This is exactly what I was saying months ago. And it’s absolutely going to happen now. The entire region is going to plunge into chaotic war, and Putin couldn’t be happier.

Not many, but plenty use various corporate applications that are Windows-only.

It’s some kind of locked-down version of GlobalProtect that’s integrated with a TPM module to prevent machines that aren’t running our corporate image on corporate-approved laptops from being able to connect.

There’s probably some kind of workaround, but I’m lazy and it’s easier just to power up the Windows machine now and then.

I only ever use Windows on my work computer, and only when I need access to a resource that requires our Windows-only VPN.

But seriously, “just use linux” is worthless advice. Lots of people use Windows for specific applications that don’t exist in the Linux ecosystem. For example, there are no Linux applications that come close to AutoCAD, and it simply doesn’t work on Linux.

Better advice would be to get new (or newer used) hardware if possible, if you absolutely need to use Windows, since this workaround will inevitably be “corrected” by Microsoft. Then you can do whatever you like with the old hardware, such as install and learn Linux at your own pace.

They should be charged with assault and battery, like anyone else who did that would be.

Why the hell is anyone still storing actual passwords, even encrypted ones, in 2024? They should only be storing hashes and a salt that’s only retrievable on the backend.

Edit: I stand corrected. Newsweek is just doing its usual shit job of reporting. They should know better than calling hashed passwords “encrypted” passwords.

Dies Murdered

Fixed the headline.

If DAW means Digital Audio Workstation, have you tried Ardour?

That’s fucking awful. What is wrong with Florida?

That’s just freaking bonkers.

About ten minutes ago, some extreme moron walked out on the Naples pier and put a Trump flag on it. You can see it flapping in the wind. I’m now taking bets on how long it lasts there.

I’m more worried about the weird white bump on her right cheek, and the short left arm on the blurry person standing in the background boat.

That’s what I try to point out to climate change deniers. Insurance companies live or die based on risk, so they have to be extraordinarily hard-nosed realists about it. They literally can’t afford to pretend the climate isn’t changing.

Sadly, it’s the coastal areas that are the nicest, while the middle of the state is unpleasantly humid much of the year. The last time I was in Florida, I spent considerable time in Orlando, and hated every minute of it.

There’s also the issue of seawater pollution in their drinking water. It’s going to keep getting worse.

They should not. As the climate continues to change, Florida is going to continue to be the recipient of yearly mega-storms that destroy towns over and over.

I am fully convinced that large chunks of Florida are technically no longer habitable, and trying to live there anymore is a mistake.

You have got to be kidding.

What the actual fuck.

She. And part of her platform as mayor is a massive increase in homeless shelter beds, specifically to get homeless people off the streets and into safer environments.

So… She’s actively not “driving them away,” near as I can tell.

Is he a recruit from the WWE or something?

1. The president orders the Attorney General to enforce rules that favor his re-election. The rules are clearly unconstitutional.
2. Someone sues in a district court to block it.
3. …

You can see where this goes. Sadly, the founders weren’t nearly as clever and cynical as they needed to be to spot these exploits.
