Because some users are putting that data on Linux. So they want Linux to be killed.
They can’t change grub. But they sure as hell can convince micro$org to search for and nuke it.
Of course no idea if this happened. Just answering why they would might want to.
Short term. The issue is going to be how to drill and inspect the water. While garrenteeing no earth organic contamination.
Untill folks are 100% sure no life at all exists. Any other considerationvwill be on hold.
And proving a negative is going to take ages before folks are happy.
Cool. At the time, it was one of the best. Although, I also liked sun-os.
I also worked with VMS a lot after uni. Hated using it. But had to respect the ideals behind it.
But watching the growth of Linux has been fantastic. In 2024. It does seem to have out evolved all the others. ( Evolved, defined as developed the ability to survive by becoming so freaking useful. )
I am starting to think it is time for a micro kernel version, though.
Was a few years later for me.
Not DMU by any chance?
Late 1990s my uni had unix workstations HPUX.
So all projects etc were expected to be done on those. Linux at the time was the easy way to do it from home.
By the time I left uni in 98. I was so used to it windows was a pain in the butt.
For most of the time since I have been almost 100% linux. With just a dual boot to sort some hardware/firmware crap.
Ham radio to this day. Many products can only do updates with windows.
The issue that layout containers are often unable to display large fonts on the widgets when certain restrictions are enforced in the layout. So, without giving time to try very large fonts. To Many developers never discover their applications just cannot be read by visually impaired people.
Unfortunately this is an issue for anyone visually impaired.
People just do not stop to think how difficult their UX is if people need very large fonts.
Those of us who grew up during the IRA bombing find that statement odd.
Threatening google does not seem like a wise political move.
Of all the companies able to misuse data if motivated to. Google really could screw a campaign if the decided to care.
batshit crazy & desperate
Hope so.
Because otherwise its fucking terrifying. And honestly that is the better reaction.
He is indicating at the least he plans changes that voting will not be able to change. At the worst plans to become a dictatorship.
And given his attitude. The later seems more likely.
Just of the top of my head discovered today.
Not a GUI as one exists. But a more configurable one as it is crap for visually impaired.
Rpi-imager gui dose not take theme indications for font size etc. Worse it has no configuration to change such thing.
Making it pretty much unsuable for anyone with poor vision.
Also it varies for each visually impaired indevidual. But dark mode is essential for some of ua.
So if your looking for small projects. Youd at least make me happy;)
Nice idea, I love. But you have to remember, those investigations cost huge time and money. When you consider the cost of a full-time staff over the 10 years, you include. Plus the cost of building a case against some of the largest cooperation. All before any court costs are considered.
We are likely better off having that money reinvested in preventing other companies from these practices.
Humans do something very Elephant.
Of course, it’s a bit of a petty detail. And is equally valid both ways.
But really goes to show how humanity has got so much wrong. We again and again discover animals doing things we have classed as uniquely human.
In every way, we decide humans are unique amongst animal spices. Seems to fail if we wait long enough.
And before any vegans use this to make some argument. Your choices are yours. But I am yet to see any other animal spices shame members for the diet they evolved eating. So maybe that will be the unique way to measure humanity that lasts. Because eating meat. Or even treating it with cruelty, ain’t one. if you doubt it, look at the insects that breed inside living animals. Many imprisoning the creature as their children grow, then eat it alive.
As much as I’d rather humanity be caring. This is not your argument against meat eaters.
Yep pretty much but on a larger scale.
1st please do not believe the bull that there was no problem. Many folks like me were paid to fix it before it was an issue. So other than a few companies, few saw the result, not because it did not exist. But because we were warned. People make jokes about the over panic. But if that had not happened, it would hav been years to fix, not days. Because without the panic, most corporations would have ignored it. Honestly, the panic scared shareholders. So boards of directors had to get experts to confirm the systems were compliant. And so much dependent crap was found running it was insane.
But the exaggerations of planes falling out of the sky etc. Was also bull. Most systems would have failed but BSOD would be rare, but code would crash and some works with errors shutting it down cleanly, some undiscovered until a short while later. As accounting or other errors showed up.
As other have said. The issue was that since the 1960s, computers were set up to treat years as 2 digits. So had no expectation to handle 2000 other than assume it was 1900. While from the early 90s most systems were built with ways to adapt to it. Not all were, as many were only developing top layer stuff. And many libraries etc had not been checked for this issue. Huge amounts of the infra of the world’s IT ran on legacy systems. Especially in the financial sector where I worked at the time.
The internet was a fairly new thing. So often stuff had been running for decades with no one needing to change it. Or having any real knowledge of how it was coded. So folks like me were forced to hunt through code or often replace systems that were badly documented or more often not at all.
A lot of modern software development practices grew out of discovering what a fucking mess can grow if people accept an “if it ain’t broke, don’t touch it” mentality.
Very much so. But the vulnerabilities do not tend to be discovered (by developers) until an attack happens. And auto updates are generally how the spread of attacks are limited.
Open source can help slightly. Due to both good and bad actors unrelated to development seeing the code. So it is more common for alerts to hit before attacks. But far from a fix all.
But generally, time between discovery and fix is a worry for big corps. So why auto updates have been accepted with less manual intervention than was common in the past.
Not OP. But that is how it used to be done. Issue is the attacks we have seen over the years. IE ransom attacks etc. Have made corps feel they needf to fixed and update instantly to avoid attacks. So they depend on the corp they pay for the software to test roll out.
Autoupdate is a 2 edged sword. Without it, attackers etc will take advantage of delays. With it. Well today.
If the just called it other.
It would gain a huge boost in desktop usage figures.
Thanks. That was exactly what I needed. I’ll look it up.
and Britain
In no way did British Labour support Gaza. At best they were no worse then the past gov. But no viable candidate under fptp suoported gaza.
Labour actually lost 2 seats to independents due to not supporting gaza.
