That guy needed no acting talent whatsoever for that role. Just played a gray skinned version of himself.

The Bosch SmartHome outdoor camera.

The only way to view the stream is through their app and over the cloud, and the recordings are kept in the cloud exclusively. There is no way to use it without the cloud account. Everything is slow, choppy, unreliable and buggy as hell. Replaced it with Frigate running on our homeserver and a proper Hikvision IP camera. Much better quality, viewable from everywhere, much faster, ultra reliable, perfect.

It took me an evening to get my initial Hyprland config working, then about a week of tweaking before I was truly happy with it. That sounds like a lot of work, and honestly, it was, but it also doesn’t have to be work I repeat every time I install Linux. Now that the core setup was dialed in, I can copy my Hyprland config, keep related dotfiles for tools like Waybar, Wofi, my terminal, and notifications in one place, and bring most of that desktop with me to the next machine. I’ll still need to adjust hardware-specific details like monitor names, scaling, and input settings, but the hard part is already done.

Yeah that sounds like something I might have done 30 years ago, at around the same time I hand-compiled mplayer and all of its dependencies to be “just right”. When I manually adjusted the kernel config for my desktop PC and patiently waited 45 minutes for the kernel to finish compiling. Back when I gave a shit about getting the “optimimum”.

It’s an ice planet!

It’s a hoot because even now they are trying to get just a few more people to join the Bundeswehr, and are already failing really hard at it.

Of course not, but that line of reasoning sounds similar to “I was just following orders”.

Honestly, most people working at a large corporation are not that impactful. Just a cog in the machine.

Just like any soldier in Nazi Germany’s army. Being a cog in the machine does not take away the guild from killing someone, or, if we are talking about “evil” companies, from denying someone treatment, or violating someone’s privacy, or…

The insurance company in question “partners with” United Healthcare, so… maybe not so much.

My name is Lars Wirzenius, and I was there when Linux started.

Time as you know had a beginning and time has an end and then time begins again. As we shall each live our lives again exactly as before, I have been gifted to see into the old cycles of time. Not very clearly mind you, but I have learned that… yeah, you’re all pretty much fucked.

Lots of good stuff mentioned already, but nobody mentioned the Rivers Of London series yet. It is about a young police constabulary who solves crime using magic. Sounds pretty silly, but it’s pretty good. The author, Ben Aaronovitch, also wrote some scripts for Doctor Who (Remembrance of the Daleks, for instance) and Blake’s 7, so there’s that.

Not hallucination, distraction from class struggle.

The rich fuel the fire of hatred between us so we do not stop to realize they are taking everything, and destroying everything. Cannot say this often enough.

Nice try, thesun.co.uk

Hahahaha… go fuck yourself, you miserable thief

No, it is not over the top.

One thing I learned after using computers for 34 years: As soon as you throw away a cable, you will have sudden and very unexpected need for it. I cannot see how that could be true for VGA and old centronics printer cables, but I shall not risk to find out.

At best what it does is save me googling time.

At the expense of vastly higher resource use.

Macciavellian? Are you serious? Macchiavelli said you can be a cruel asshole, but the one thing you cannot be is unpredictable. Old Mac would have given this US government a 2/10 score.
