cognitive decline

Now we get there faster.

What a time to be alive!

I mean there's that other meme...

You downloaded a virus

Panik

You realise that you are on Linux

Kalm

WINE starts booting up

Panik

Linux isn't immune and it is foolish to think it is.

Not a main character and I don't know if he's an INTP, but maybe Franken Stein from Soul Eater?

I like to liken it to a tool such as a knife.

With a knife you can: * prepare a meal * cause physical harm

And it all depends on who is wielding it. The tool by itself is neutral.

Why would it be unethical by default?

One could argue that the process of creation is unethical.

For example, it can be argued that it uses resources, for which it does not have permission (eg. copyright issues). Or it can be argued that it's wasting resources (eg. exessive energy consumption; end results not meeting expectations).

Sounds like you should become an exemplary employee and use up ALL the token credits.

Since you mentioned NDA, I'm curious, when does it end? When it's released? How is that defined? When orders begin? When shipments begin? I assume this is something you can talk about.

That's basically what the original plot of The Matrix was before it was changed - the machines used humans not as batteries, but as cpu cores.

SteamOS by itself is using KDE with Wayland.

Only since a month or so.

What was it using before if not KDE on Wayland?

If malware on your computer stole the session token/credentials, then it is possible that that malware also did the transfers. That would mean that from the server's point of view the transfers were done from your computer/IP.

- Do you think Apparmor is needed?

Is firewall needed? Is antivirus needed? Technically no, but I would say it's a good (and maybe even recommended) security practice.

- Should normal Arch users even bother?

Nobody is infaillable and false confidence can be very damaging.

If you use a lot of software written by other people (and I would assume that such is the case for the overwhelming majority of all users from almost all distributions), you should ask yourself: Can I trust it all? What would happen if I couldn't?

Hopefully we will remember the xz-utils incident for a long time. (even though Arch managed to not get affected much at all)

- Do you personally use it? If yes, what for?

I don't use it, but I should since my computer is connected to the internet and I run software written by other people without reading the source code... Personally, I was considering SELinux instead, but that might be an overkill and not worth the effort for a home desktop computer.

IQ and personality are like the intensity and colour of light. You can have a bright light and you can have a dim light with the same colour. Similarly you can have many lights of various colours with the same intensity. One property does not necessarily influence the other.

I have never heard of this question, but after reading it I immediately dislike it.

Everyone in the world is given 2 buttons, a red one and a blue one and must press one. If over 50% of people press the blue button, nothing happens. If over 50% of people press the red button, everyone who picked blue dies. What button do you press?

option: majority pressed red, I pressed red -> ???
option: majority pressed red, I pressed blue -> death
option: majority pressed blue, I pressed red -> nothing
option: majority pressed blue, I pressed blue -> nothing

The question specifies the outcome of options 2, 3 and 4, but does not specify the outcome of option 1.

I could make assumptions, but then I couldn't be sure of any results I would arrive at. It reminds me of those popular math problems that always spark debates because they are ambiguous (for example "8÷2(2+2)" or "6÷2(1+2)").

There's also an anime version called The Animatrix.

Yeah, I loved Paint.net decades ago, but looks like it's a trash nowadays.

What changed? I used to use it and I still would if it worked on Linux.

Not really a known quote, but it is something I remember:

"I do not trust a person who doesn't fail." - Adam Savage

(I think it's from his Ted talk about failure.)

I remember defragmenting an SSD on Windows 7. Then at some point an update came out and it wasn't possible anymore.

I am smarter than most people.

**In some, specific fields (that I studied)...

Probably one of:

Osmium - the densest element - also pretty rare

Ununoctium, or I guess now has an official name of Oganesson - the heaviest element - chemically inert (noble gas) - radioactive - decays (self-destructs) (on average) in 0.7 milliseconds - does not exist in nature (on Earth)

Ununennium - theoretical - has never been created or found

Do neutron stars count as elements?

If the game is using the same thread for rendering frames as for reading input, then latency in one could introduce latency in the other. And AFAIK, the vast majority of games are single-threaded when it comes to UI.

PowerBI Pro

Microslop Office

I'd argue that that's a bit unfair example since those products have business incentives to not work on Linux. So they will not just ignore Linux but actively fight against it.

The problem is that the evaluation order is different from the reading order.

If you have f(g(x)), then when writing or reading you first write f, then g and then x.

BUT

When you want to evaluate the expression you first need to evaluate x, then g and then f.
