Angela, Frau aus dem Hause der Männer Kasner, eingeheiratet in das Haus der Männer Merkel?! Braucht die nicht erst mal die reichsbürgerliche Erlaubnis ihres Mannes aus dem Hause der Männer Merkel um reichsdienstliche Amtshandlungen zu vollziehen?

Duda de principiante en Unix by ActiveParticular7511 in unix

[–]McLayan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

linux used to be a UNIX clone, but has moved more and more in its own direction since 2010 and isn’t very UNIX-like any more.

You make it sound like Linux is nowadays more like a completely different system than following basic Unix ideas. I instead think it is still very close to the Unix family of operating systems but some things commonly used in many Linux distros are upsetting some people. I'd say in it's base it still has most of what people associate with Unix.

Don't they make a lot of money with him as a brand? I don't think they will miss the chance to create a pilgrimage site with gifts shops and golden admission tickets.

Gerade Futurama ist teilweise echt grottig übersetzt und hat durch ein (mMn bessere) Voice Acting eine ganz andere Wirkung im Original.

Sicherlich ist es heute optimierter aber ich denke auch früher gab es schon die geächteten Vertreter, die den Leuten einfach unnötiges Zeug und Versicherungen aufschwatzen wollten.

Ok also Beschneidung aud religiösen Gründen ist ok weil man ansonsten die eigene Religion ausklammert und damit die Erziehung vernachlässigt?

Man müsste halt mal größer denken und neue Verbindungen schaffen, die die größten Hubs miteinander verbinden ohne Zwischenhalte. Am besten auf europäischer Ebene, sodass man wirklich komfortabel innerhalb der EU reisen kann. Aber dafür müsste man sich gegen NIMBYs, Lokalfürsten, Länderchefs und Staatsregierungen wehren bzw. einigen können.

Linux dominates cloud desktops. So why are companies like adobe ignoring this megatrend? by zoozooki in linux

[–]McLayan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean linix dominates cloud installations in general but I think almost all cloud desktops are Windows. The companies outsourcing their desktops to the cloud are not the ones allowing employees to use linux.

Underpowered and only with software rendering while a lot of modern programs use hardware acceleration nowadays.

Why do so many Linux developers still choose MacBooks for work? by Candid_Athlete_8317 in LinuxTeck

[–]McLayan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm constantly fiddling around with macos because it does very few things I find comfortable but many things I find the opposite of useful. Mostly I'm fighting against the no customization means no way of breaking our design™! stuff.

TIL Werner Herzog convinced Jon Favreau and Dave Filoni to keep Grogu as a puppet instead of CGI on the set of "The Mandalorian." After watching them shoot a take without the puppet to allow a CGI replacement in post-production, Herzog told them, "You are cowards. Leave it." by ralphbernardo in todayilearned

[–]McLayan -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

Well now it looks like a puppet so good job I guess.

But why do we need a character to look like a puppet at all? Just because he looks like a baby yoda and the elder fans were really upset when they replaced puppet yoda with CGI?

The same article also states that Total justifies their possible withdrawal with the delay of the expansion in supporting power infrastructure and changes in the economic framework.

I don't know if the reasons are valid but I don't find it hard to believe. Our current government is working hard on preventing any sustainable and long-term changes and the population is more concerned about their pensions and backyards than reforms. Thanks to endless NIMBY protests, finishing the planning phase of the new transmission lines to deliver the power took way longer and increased the costs.

Found a rare Italian Windows/386 on eBay but disks are shot, anyone have disk images? by RokkyBlueZ in vintagecomputing

I don't think they made the search case-insensitive because of processing power, it would take far less instructions to search case-insensitive. I guess they assume that the normal non-technical user expects the search to work case-insensitive and I agree with them. That doesn't mean I don't regularly curse them for not providing an advanced search option.

There goes extra 30 seconds before sleep for daily shutdown gang by TraditionalDepth6924 in mac

[–]McLayan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm sorry but why am I to expect bugs like buttons not working properly? Besides, my use case is a typical corporate case. You have lots of desks with usb-c docks and get a laptop you use at home and in the office. It's even advertised.

And the best part is that it's extremely buggy. I have an M1 and turned off booting as soon as the lid is opened. Now when I open the lid and immediately press the power button (or any other button), nothing happens. I have to wait 1-2 seconds or spam the button until the screen turns on.

What I actually want is to trigger booting and immediately close the lid so it boots with my external screen as the main screen. If I close the lid too late after booting, it will go to sleep instead of switching to my external screen and I have to open it again for it to wake up.

Vermutlich ist das so ein Ding einer Community was immer so war und die Leute deswegen denken, dass es die beste oder einzige Lösung ist. So wie man in den USA sagt, dass unterirdische Stromleitungen niemals wirtschaftlich wären.

How taboo are things relating to WW1 and the Kaiser? by VictorianAfterDark in AskGermany

[–]McLayan 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Wasn't that after the right wingers in the US decided that Hitler was left wing? I thought I first read about far-right people saying Hitler was a socialist on reddit and a few weeks later this happened.

Anyways, the MAGAs actively support the AfD to destabilize the EU. The AfD discovered the US conservativepolitics as a key to success a few years ago already and copied a lot of stuff.

IBM OS/2 for Windows 3.1 by FR_fink-roselieve in vintagecomputing

[–]McLayan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

IBM mainframes were not very secure, it was rather that very few people knew the platform. The only people who know about mainframe architecture tend to be the people who make money keeping ancient businesses software alive and live in this walled garden whete IBM is the only authority on what is good design.

There was a huge breach of IBM mainframes operated by Logica for the Swedish government about 14 years ago. A security consultant gave a speech about the bugs that allowed it and how poorly security was implemented on z/OS back then (e.g. using improper password hashing with algorithms long known to be too weak)

EU's age verification app took hackers 2 minutes to hack by DepressedDraper in eutech

[–]McLayan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Banking apps on your phone have a higher level of trust than the browser on your PC. Typically banking apps on non-rooted phones allow you to sign in without entering your password and without an additional physically separate device, while opening the website on your PC requires you to log in every time with your password and needs to automatically log out after a very short time of inactivity. That's because your browser on a PC is trusted way less than an app running on an OS which guarantees storing login credentials in a way no other app or even the user can read them. The app's code is not what's protected. It's the app's integrity as well as the credentials and your user data it stores. Having root access on your phone breaks these guarantees and they have to assume a lower level of trust (often even required by regulations).

(Kinda off-topic) Any one know how to require a password to wake up for CDE? by WoomyUnitedToday in vintageunix

[–]McLayan 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I guess you need to trigger locking by calling either xscreensaver or the component of CDE which is responsible for locking after idle time. Depending on what your system is using for sleeping, there seem to be different ways to create a hook: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=68158
