I wouldn’t think so. Isn’t bottles just an easier way to manage wine prefixes? If so, it doesn’t do anything to hide your Linux system from the executable.

Wine prefixes are not sandboxes. They are a way to separate the windows-level configuration for different programs (eg env vars, or drivers, etc).

Wine is a translation layer between a compiled windows binary and your Linux syscalls/libraries/device drivers/etc, nothing more.

Wine is not an emulator. It’s not sandboxed either. If you can do it as a user, a program running in wine can do it too.

There’s nothing stopping a piece of malware from crawling your disk for sensitive information, or encrypting your files for ransom.

Probably meant shred the printed paper, but…

To be pedantic, you can shred a pdf

You inspired me to test on 6m. Not a good match at all (SWR 40+). Gonna explore more, but from what I read about moxons on Wikipedia, they don’t lend themselves well to multi-band operations. I guess the measurements can be very band-specific.

Honestly, my plan is to use it as a minor propaganda tool: Call up a local ham friend for a “radio check”, and “just happen” to mention that there’s a protest going on and nobody is being aggressive, etc. I hear way too many maga guys on the airwaves, I want to do what I can to counter it.

Plus, if the cops do get violent, there’s no downside to having a communication tool that doesn’t rely on big tech or cell phones. One more way to get the word out.

Of course, something like this could be adapted for tools like meshtastic, or used with digital modes in order to coordinate a group.

I think it’s called Shobie Story. It’s part of Fisherman on an Inland Sea.

I enjoyed reading Ursula Le Guin’s stories about instantaneous travel.

The process of instantaneous travel is so bizarre and unexplainable that every crew member experiences it differently. Some people think they haven’t gone anywhere, some people think they’re on the other side of the universe, and some people think the ship has disintegrated around them.

The only way for the process to succeed is for the entire crew to agree on a shared reality. It has the effect of making FTL travel a dangerous thing that requires training and planning. You can’t hop on a ship with random people and expect to survive. Everyone has to train together to really trust each other’s perception and experiences.

I checked a couple of reviews, and one of them mentioned they measured the temp at 212°F. Definitely sounds like something funky could be going on with yours.

Is it under warranty? I’d send it back and/or ask for a refund. If there is any spec that mentions what temperature the kettle is supposed to reach, I’d point to that when asking for the refund/replacement.

With meme coins, the liquidity is dogshit. There’s no real market for sale.

If you sell the tokens piece-by-piece as you get them, you drive down the future price and might get less real money overall. Better to sell a big chunk at once.

Also, not every exchange has a wallet/custody system. It’s entirely possible for direct p2p trades to happen without any intermediate transfers. I don’t know if pump.fun actually does this.

Why is one wearing socks? Does that mean it’s otherwise naked?

Office parks in the middle of nowhere suck. You’re never going to be close to everyone, employees can’t walk somewhere for a change of scenery or to take a break, and being away from downtown means public transit is less likely to reach the area.

I’m all for letting people pick a coworking space if they want, but making people commute to the suburbs is a different kind of hell.

I read somewhere that this is basically Max Brooks’ take on the film.

Something about breathing a sigh of relief when he read the script, because it was such a distinct story that there was nothing left of his book to be butchered.

OK, you have a point on Godzilla, that machine is pretty fun. I also enjoyed playing John Wick despite my prejudice.

AI doesn’t make things up: It “believes” (doesn’t actually have belief) a real thing just as much as a false thing. The two are indistinguishable to LLMs because the only “true” thing for a chatbot is the existence of text and tokens. Everything else is meaningless to the math.

Does my sewer pipe have imagination because is spewed black goop across my kitchen instead of carrying my waste water away like it normally does? Is my TV hallucinating a new show because the screen got damaged at the factory? Did a printing press create art when it smudged the text on my paperback?

LLMs are tools with a high defect rate which tech billionaires and the media branded as hallucintation to sound more impressive.

Yeah. Stern is one of the few companies making new tables, and the stuff they produce these days is all about making an account and tracking your games with QR codes. They even have a few where there is a kind of meta-game that you play across multiple rounds. Not really my thing.

A friend of mine got a summer job working a pinball joint, so I’ve learned to appreciate the game a lot more recently. Helps to have an inside person giving me free plays.

As long as there’s one machine that’s not Sternslop

I see this article more about reporting unfortunate news rather than boosting fear. The news seems to be “Car manufacturers don’t take security seriously and people are exploiting it with a simple tool”.

I’d rather hear about this now than wake up one day to see that my flipper is illegal because some politician watched a tiktok video.

Is there a nuance to usage of the word hierarchy that I’m not understanding in this context?

Like if I invite a bunch of friends over to help me move into a new apartment, is there a hierarchy because I’m telling everyone where to put the boxes? If my pal Sarah drives a truck for work, so I entrust her to load the van with two other people, is that a hierarchy?

I’m not asking this to be a smartass, I’d just like to understand if there is a meaningful difference between hierarchy and deferring to someone’s skill in a particular domain.
