His argument is essentially that people are not toxic enough in online meetings to innovate.

Yeah, I saw this coming at least 5 years ago.

It’s the way Linus talks and acts, how their whole business revolves around a parasocial relationship with the viewers.

He actually became what he hated about NCIX so much.

Public key auth, and fail2ban on an extremely strict mode with scaling bantime works well enough for me to leave 22 open.

Fail2ban will ban people for even checking if the port is open.

Before people get worried about this, this is how literally any online service works. If you have an account anywhere, you trusted that service to not record your password.

Only exception is oauth, which actually might be a good idea for Lemmy.

That is a lot of words to say ‘they can’t see your password, but they can try to guess it. Make a secure password and you won’t have any problems’

Canadian problems :( and probably Australia too.

So many sports clips straight up not available here.

A little bit puzzling at first, but it does make sense.

With starfield coming out, they don’t want people to get the trial to essentially play it for free and then stop using the service.

1 month is just about enough time to beat a large game for someone who has a few hours a day to play. 14 days won’t be enough for most people.

Incoming proprietary cable that won’t let you data transfer or charge beyond 5w if you use a generic one.

A ‘no take, only throw’ mentality.

You want descriptive answers? Make a descriptive question.

It can be as simple as ‘what is “x” and why?’

Ansible vault

I like how their admins still show up as Admins even when commenting on a post on another instance. At least in voyager they do.

Honestly probably a bug, but it’s cool.

They might not now but who’s to say what happens in 10-50 years. You should assume that law enforcement (and other malicious actors) will have your genetic info.

No. They have that data forever. You can’t take it back.

Who knows what’s going to happen to it in 20-50 years, people never seem to consider those timescales when handing over their data to companies.

Worst part is, there is a solid chance they already have all your data from a sibling or close relative.

Blops2 mob of the dead is all you’ll ever need.

Zombies perfected. Not too simple, not too complex, anyone can complete the Easter egg, many without a guide even.

Map layout is perfect, wonder weapon is super fun to use. I couldn’t ask for anything more.

The worst part of it is that the author also included this quote from the creators of the technology.

“Operating in the optical spectrum, rather than the limited amount of licensed radio wavelengths”

Like it’s right there and they still didn’t clue in.

YouTube hardly classifies as free.

No love for VLC player?!?

That’s not what they are trying to do at all though.

The article makes it sound more so like they want their own ‘great firewall’ like China, or to go even further and create something akin to North Korea.

No reason to reinvent tcp/ip in any case.

I see your point, but I would almost argue that starting out with all these shortcuts available in high level languages is ‘jumping into the deep end’ itself.

When a newbie sees obscure error messages in some of these libraries they might not have any idea what they mean or why they were triggered. My opinion is that having a smaller set of tools to start is actually simpler despite being able to do less with them.

I’m slightly biased because I started with C 😅
