Nick Fuentes, for one. He seems pretty proud of it judging by his Twitter.

Yeah, and that’s sad and dumb as fuck.

Hell, if I knew however much money I spent, someone would always foot the bill if I ran out, I too would spend like no tomorrow in order to get more money for free. It’s plain logic.

• Why did $manager hire two more people? We don’t need them, half the team has no idea what they’re doing here and are just fucking around all day already.

• Yeah but he still has some budget left, and if he doesn’t spend it all next year he’ll get less, and we can’t have that.

No, a bêtise is when a kid spills her milk or breaks a toy.

In this context I think they use the word as an euphemism for cheating on your spouse, as that’s the defense of most of the accused: they thought it was a kink and that Gisèle Pelicot had given her consent.

The point is also to minimize potential damages caused by a bug in the software. Just this year there have been multiple data-destroying bugs in publicly released software. If the app runs as a server it’s usually trivial to have it run as a dedicated user, with just enough permissions to do its job.

It’s just good practice, even though the risks might be low why risk it at all?

I used Ubuntu at work a couple of years ago. When they announced the switch to snaps I didn’t really care, but when they switched Firefox to the snap version it had quite a few issues like really slow startup, inconsistent theming, and problems with some extensions. So I uninstalled the snap, installed the standard DEB and went on with my work.

But then the issues came back, and it took me some time to figure out they had replaced the actual DEB package with an unholy shim which just installed the snap. THAT really pissed me off, so when I got a new laptop I just installed Arch and my only regret was not doing it sooner.

For a couple of people I know, the answer would be: “This is obviously terrible, yes, but we need to preserve our traditional values at all costs, otherwise Muslim immigrants will replace us”.

I don’t know, I’m far from being an expert but from what I’ve read immigrants have been sold a paradise and are under immense pressure to succeed because their whole family or even village pooled their resources together for the wonderboy to go to Europe and make it. When they call back home they don’t give bad news, they just say everything is great even if they spend their days begging under a bridge. And so the cycle repeats.

Anyways, it’s been this way for decades, if the free market had any influence on the human trafficking industry it would have kicked in by now…

Economics works there too, though. More passages means lower ticket prices, and at some point people will actually be able to demand “luxuries” like standing room, or else not use that guy.

Nah they already paid upfront, they’re scared and disoriented, and even if they knew of another smuggling outfit there’s no way they’re demanding anything. Smugglers beat or even kill their clients for the pettiest shit, to make an example and make sure everyone behaves.

“Donating boats” to human traffickers won’t fix anything, they already have the resources, they’re just scum who provide the absolute minimum without regard for human life.

If you want to help (and piss off the far-right) you can donate to sea rescue NGOs.

I know “security experts” from a top French bank who insisted on using telegram instead of signal. So even people who were supposed to stay informed about this stuff fell for the hype and marketing.

I read your comment before the article and I thought you had made the second quote up lol, unbelievable. And people are throwing money at these guys?

OK so this is most likely by design, impressive.

Does the timer “jump” to the correct time after you dismiss the window ? It’s also possible that they didn’t bother testing the app when logged out, and that the popup blocks the UI thread while it’s displayed. In short it could be bad coding and QA instead of intentional enshittification.

Telemetry is not bad in itself. It can be used for bug/crash reports, or usage statistics, without tracking or personal data collection.

That’s because he planted a backdoor into GIT, and now he reviews your bad commits every night.

But it’s their legitimate interest! ^Whatever ^that ^means

It requires 16GB RAM, which is perfectly acceptable. But it can use more if available, for high res textures I assume. Which are streamed from Microsoft’s servers, explaining in part the difference between install size and max memory requirements.

Pretty sure the French far right straight-up ripped off this conspiracy from the US alt-right. Same as the trans hysteria.
