Because it doesn’t really solve much. After every update of external libraries, do you go through all the diffs to see if there is malicious code? Of course you don’t. And even if you would, it’s not even always possible to spot it. So all locking packages does is postpone the problem to when you eventually update. As an added bonus, you’re now vulnerable to all the legitimate issues that get fixed in those updates you’re not installing regularly.

I was more referring to OPs comment on how that statement is soulless. Unfortunately I only knew about this after reading it, because I can’t read minds. Who cares about corporate speech if they close down anyways?

Who cares?

Stop it, you’re scaring them! Fuck!

I think the next thing people should complain about is the abysmal 256 GB of storage. That’s barely enough to fit the OS plus updates at this point. Should be at least 512 GB, given how basically free NVMe storage is these days.

Just trust the algorithm, bro!

Amen. I am 100% convinced that the only reason Windows 10 was received this well was because of their tremendous marketing efforts around the release. People just accepted that it’s a great OS. It’s exactly like that Windows Vista Mojave experiment, just in reverse. In my opinion Windows 10 is even worse than Windows 11. But they didn’t do as much marketing around Windows 11.

As much as I hate Elton, SpaceX and StarLink have developed genuinely very great technologies. I feel like NASA could have done the same years ago already, but apparently it needed a space cunt to do it. Sure it sucks that StarLink for example is owned by Elmo, but honestly… better than not having it at all.

Interesting. So essentially Arm is butthurt that Qualcomm doesn’t want to send them a shitload of money and instead tries to do their own thing, so Arm is trying to force them into buying their product regardless?

From my understanding, most companies take the reference design from Arm and then alter it to fit their needs.

MikroTik is very affordable and can be configured quite extensively.

From what I understand, WordPress has been attacking WPengine more or less out of nowhere and is trying to destroy their business because their product competes with Wordpress.com (for many, many years now)

It’s basically like a room full of people with USB sticks. If you are just taking all of their USB sticks to download data off of, but you don’t put your data back on the USB sticks to share them with others, you’ll get kicked out of the part for being a jerk. It’s the same with torrents.

They are not the classic client-server thing that the web usually is. There isn’t a big server you are downloading from, it’s just other people that are seeding the torrent. So it’s common courtesy to do the same to allow more people to download it.

That’s the beauty of torrents. With servers, you just have to tell the owner to take the file down. With torrents, you’ll have to find every person that currently has the file and seeds it to take it fully offline. So yes, this exposes you to some risks. If you are downloading pirated content and live in a country where these laws are enforced, you’ll want to use a VPN to torrent. But with seeding, you’re giving back to the community that you’re taking from.

Fun fact: I was tying to be a jerk here! Sometimes it’s just nice to be a bit of an asshole on the internet. Don’t take it personally though. I’m sure you’ve done the same to someone in the past before. It’s just a fact of life. Sorry 🤷‍♂️

Bluetooth is only flaky when you’re on an Android, though. I put my AirPods in and they just work. Sorry 🤷‍♂️

Excuse me, I use Arch and Firefox with uBlock.

Oh yes, they are. Every content creator that’s still on Twitter for some reason complains about how engagement is way down. Many are considering leaving Twitter, if they haven’t already. Of course, some groups still remain for now, but it’s just a matter of time until everyone who isn’t a full on Nazi has left that pile of garbage.

Yeah I was gonna say, felt like a deja vu. Didn’t The Zuck™️ try something similar?
