How does the image scanning compare to docker scout? (Or whatever the docket desktop one is called).

Ubuntu pro joke related to another thread - not the best image post sorry 🙈

Do feel it is designed to scare normal users though.

Like how the GUI software updater now shows a list of security updates, and then “there are more security updates available with Ubuntu pro” in the list of updates…. the obvious implication is “you’re computer has other known vulnerabilities that can only be fixed if you pay up”.

Liiittlle bit ransomey and let be honest that’s by design.

Wouldn’t consider myself part of the anti canonical pitchfork crowd but that new behaviour did irk me somewhat.

If Microsoft did that people would be up in arms. Appreciate canonical provide Ubuntu is free but normal users wouldn’t get that nuance as they don’t think they pay for windows.

Controversial but I was surprised at how well trump did for himself.

He managed to dial down the lies and rhetoric from “how stupid does he think the audience is” to “obviously bullshit”.

Well done to Harris of course, in particular for calling his playbook tactics out at the start, then repeatedly calling out the lies and dog whistling each time - the way to beat a manipulating bully is to shine a light on their behaviour plainly in public and she nailed it.

Bonus points to Harris as well for laughing at him whilst maintaining class.

Outsmarted. Technically a board game but with an app.

It’s actually not the gimmick I thought it would be! Cast that bad boy to the tv and you’ve got a game show in the family room!

For those also wondering (and I’m quoting a comment on Ars so may stand corrected…):

Isn’t this a violation of the Geneva Conventions?

Only if used to deliberately target infantry. The videoed operations so far seem to have been intended to burn away protective cover (trees/brush), which is a permitted use even if there’s a risk of inflicting casualties as a side effect of the application of incendiaries.

I can’t decide if this move is designed to overwhelm (or at least increase the workload of) the Wine team so that they can’t do as good a job reducing people’s dependence on Windows with their core product, or whether this is part of my prediction playing out - MS abandoning kernel/OS development in favour of a skinned Linux on which they can still harvest data and sell subscriptions.

In any case charity from a corporation is never truly charitable!

But what the employees do with their new found free time?

Develop independence, or even, compete with us? No no can’t have that.

Awesome that they’ve done this but it’s still a lot of steps.

I’ve heard there are cracked versions pre-packaged so it would be good if one of the retailers could release something similar given the popularity.

Super interesting!

I wonder how far this could go in time.

Thank you!

Looking at the form, EU citizens living abroad apparently cannot sign either.

Agree they’ve being easing their way in for a while. My point was specifically about advertising within the content itself which would be a new line crossed.

Edit: actually yes they did do this with Apple News didn’t they! (Which is why I stopped paying for it).

Content advertising isn’t “on brand” for Apple, so this would be a bold move.

Said it before and I’ll say it again - one of the most underrated games ever!

Manor Lords.

Plays really well but as one reviewer put it, it gets old after 20 hours or so.

That said, the early access bit is done well in that the content that is there works pretty well, and you can see placeholder for the other features being worked on.

Like right now it’s maybe like 25% of the full game, but that 25% works well and you can clearly see what’s coming.

I would recommend getting an adjustable angle oscillating desk fan, but one made of metal (not much difference in price tbh) when you can unclip the front guard to access the blades.

That way you can wipe the dust off and give the spinning part a blast of WD40 once a year to keep it running nicely for a long time.

Something like this

For context about 30cm in diameter. Should cost around €25.

If you need the height but lack the table space a similar floor fan should do though will probably cost a bit more.

Wonderful story and what an impact his efforts have made.

Great example of the IT mantra “When you do your job right the user’s won’t know you’ve done anything at all”.
