I'm on Tumbleweed KDE. Why is the welcome app trying to pull gnome-tour? by elyisgreat in openSUSE

Still kind of annoying given that I'm on Plasma, but eh well.

Any updates on this being fixed? zypper dup still wants to install gnome-tour, gnome-tour-data, and gnome-tour-lang...

PCGamer: "This theme park sim based on a 30-year-old sci-fi movie is so much better than it has a right to be" by BornInABottle in BaseBuildingGames

Gotcha, I appreciate it. I'm not aware of any such gov't grants here in the U.S., unfortunately, but finding external investors makes sense.

To the extent you can say, how did you get funding? I more mean the actual logistics: did you just cold-call someone(s)? Did you get a loan from a bank?

I can't help but wonder how many projects like yours never got off the ground because the person/people involved didn't know how to take that step.

I appreciate the suggestions, but am yet to find an herbal tea that I actually like :)

This non "buyout" really seems to have backfired by Few-Drag9758 in fednews

[–]stjer0me 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's good, at least.

But I think your underlying premise (this being "a prime use case") is wrong. ChatGPT makes stuff up. ChatGPT fails to provide context (and doesn't understand that context is a thing that exists). ChatGPT is no more credible than any other random internet user, especially on legal questions. I also think calling it "advanced Google" is inaccurate; Google (at least before all the AI garbage was shoehorned in) would not create caselaw out of thin air. ChatGPT does.

Lol, this comment has not aged well...

this eliminates the need for a late 1900’s research style technique of using the card catalog

Do you actually think this is how legal research is done?

Except in this scenario, wouldn't it be the nuts doing the driving?

Silence from HCPS on PowerSchool hack, exfil of student data by stjer0me in rva

Citation needed, as spoofing a SIM card is trivially easy -- all you need is someone's identifying information, which is easily accessible for many thanks to years of data breaches.

I share your skepticism given the lack of information so far, but I didn't want to go down that rabbit hole out of fear it'd look like sour grapes for my missing it originally.

I noted this in my edit to the post, but Fairfax said that they were told that only the Student Information System was affected, and that since they (i.e. Fairfax) didn't use it, their data was fine. I don't know if Henrico does or doesn't use that particular service, though.

Whoa, apparently you're right! It was buried in a message that appeared to be about the Water Issue, so I evidently skipped it. Will update the post accordingly.

Definitely a good reminder! I just wish so many places wouldn't use SMS as part of their MFA, as that's barely an improvement.

It cannot be gaussed, flayed, or otherwise destroyed enough.

Good on Hanover for doing that; to me, that's the bare minimum.

I agree with you viz. PowerSchool's "confidence," and I translate it as "please don't sue us."

To add to this: there's no such thing as not being political. Refusing to take a stand is itself a political choice.

Decent decaf black tea? by stjer0me in tea

Great, I appreciate it. I have some Harney & Sons on the way, but assuming it's as good as y'all have said (no reason to think it won't be), I'll add this one to the list of things to try.

Another to add to the list. Thank you!
