It looks nice, but you have to sign up for an account to use a terminal app? This is really getting ridiculous

“Oh, he uses FOSS, that’s even worse. Put him on the commie watch list”

Came here to say this, but I was delayed by having to clean my cargo target folder.

Honestly, this article is pretty bad at explaining the problem here. It’s clear that other websites will try to track you, but the important part of this incognito drama is this:

The plaintiffs also accused Google of taking Chrome users’ private browsing activity and then associating it with their already-existing user profiles.

I too haven’t used Windows in around 6 months. The Ubuntu experience has been much smoother and less punishing on my battery life. Most of the Steam games I tried have worked nicely on Linux.

I still keep the Windows partition lying around because of some gamedev and art software that I haven’t tried on Linux. Also the Linux experience for tablet mode for a 2 in 1 is subpar compared to Windows.

But overall, I don’t really miss Windows at all, and I dread the thought of booting into it, having to wait 1 hour for it to update; then debugging why file indexing is running at 100% cpu, why antivirus is slowing down compilation times 300% compared to Linux, and why the hell standby mode refuses to work and starts running the fans at full power at 4 am.

100% code coverage, integration tests passing. Deploys to prod. NullPointerException at 3am

The fun thing most of these games aren’t even truly capitalist. City builders like Cities Skylines, Tropico and Anno have little or no free market and you’re just in control of a centralized planned economy.

The only truly capitalist games I saw on that list are X4 and Offworld Trading Company since you play as a single private owner competing with others on the market.

Has there ever been an all-hands meeting where the CEO was not cringeworthy?

I just assume it’s the minimum amount of yearly cringe you have to endure to stay employed.

The exploit’s sophistication and the feature’s obscurity suggest the attackers had advanced technical capabilities

exploiting a vulnerability in an undocumented hardware feature that few if anyone outside of Apple and chip suppliers such as ARM Holdings knew of.

according to Russian officials also infected the iPhones of thousands of people working inside diplomatic missions and embassies in Russia

the devices were infected with full-featured spyware that, among other things, transmitted microphone recordings, photos, geolocation, and other sensitive data to attacker-controlled servers

Sounds like government espionage

puts tinfoil hat on

Didn’t Epic lose the fight against Apple? How is Google more of a monopoly than Apple? It is incredibly easy to sideload apps on Android compared to iPhones, and there are multiple dedicated unofficial stores. These verdicts are not coherent at all between them. I understand they are two separate judges, but the law should be the same for all, not at the interpretation of whichever judge you get.
