In all reality it's fine. Snaps are annoying on occasion, and the Amazon search integration was rightly riffed on, but it'll work like anything else. Sometimes it's just funny to riff on Ubuntu, and sometimes people hate on it because Linux people are very .. er .. um .. opinionated. But if it works best for you then go for it.

Good to see more stuff being built, even if it'll probably justbbe Chinese spyware instead of red blooded 'Murican spyware lol.

Sounds like a fork of android, maybe it'll be helpful getting nudging desktop OSs and wine/proton towards a better position on arm/risk devices if they go that route too.

My recommendation would be Debian + Flatpak & Appimages (or + Snaps if you're the devil). Super stable, but also access to the latest.

Fedora is also a middle ground too, but they're pushing flatpaks heavily so it might not matter anyway since Fedora + flatpak and Debian + flatpak are about the same.

At roughly 35,000 words and filled with jargon and bureaucratic terms, the document is nearly impossible to read all the way through and just as hard to understand fully.

A section devoted to passwords injects a large helping of badly needed common sense practices that challenge common policies. An example: The new rules bar the requirement that end users periodically change their passwords. This requirement came into being decades ago when password security was poorly understood, and it was common for people to choose common names, dictionary words, and other secrets that were easily guessed.

Since then, most services require the use of stronger passwords made up of randomly generated characters or phrases. When passwords are chosen properly, the requirement to periodically change them, typically every one to three months, can actually diminish security because the added burden incentivizes weaker passwords that are easier for people to set and remember.

A.k.a use a password manager for most things and a couple of long complex passwords for things that a password manager wouldn't work for (the password manager's password, encrypted system partitions, etc). I'm assuming In just summed up 35,000 words.

Man, a hand typed spreadsheet must have been hard to navigate with the PlayStation controller.

Maybe estimated based up checking for updates or something? Just a blind guess though.

Regulation and a ban outright are a bit different. A minimum drinking age and restrictions on heavy metals in my booze are nice and didn't cause a resurgence in the mob. But I am hesitant when government trues to regulate tech in this way. Having the government dictate how my stuff works is just as scary as an unimpeded big tech.

I just put the CW in because he's very culture warrior-y and didn't want to bother anybody who wouldn't want to watch it. AFAIK he's reliable when it comes to facts, but of course culture war stuff is sprinkled through a good portion of his tech stuff. This particular video is pretty culture war free and just focuses on the conference and AI.

 

Anyone know how to make a directed EMP? Asking for a friend.

The IA is about to be nuked by their lost lawsuit. If Google will keep them afloat just about anything would be better than them vanishing entirely.
