I never could get those magic eye pictures.

He’s very sincere and open about his villiany.

Because enshittification…

Let me try to help you in a more psychological way: try focusing on how much more important those issues of privacy, respecting user self determination, etc are than all those little trade offs (which sound to me as much like a cranky resistance to change as anything else). You are going to have to accept changes you don’t like along with changes that you might eventually see as improvements if you give it a chance. But even if not, the enshittification element should outweigh all that.

I gave up Windows for Plasma 4.something, over a decade ago to avoid the enshittification of Windows 10, and even then I felt like it was a user interface improvement and it was painful going back every time I booted my window partition. I can’t even imagine how someone can put up with the shit Windows 11 imposes on you. But, hey everyone weighs things differently.

Personally, when software I paid nothing for, made by volunteers, has a flaw or doesn’t meet my preferences, it pisses me off a whole lot less than when software that I’ve paid for, made by a corporation with more money then God, blue screens or forces something on me that I didn’t ask for.

Do you mean the specific exploit performed by the author has been fixed? Or the general vulnerability that this exploit was intended to demonstrate has been fixed? The article ends with a What’s Next section discussing the difficulty of the latter, saying

we don’t think there’s a silver bullet to address the risks caused by the compromise of such central pieces of infrastructure

and going into detail about the challenges for openSUSE OBS. Are you claiming those challenges have all been solved and exploits like this are no longer possible?

Supply chain attacks have been a trendy topic in the past years.

Has the meaning of ‘trendy’ changed from what I’m used to?

That looks like an image from a pharmaceutical commercial, so I’d say it’s a little late for that.

45,X/46,XX, 45,X/46,XY and 46,XY/47,XXY was my locker combination in high school!

Someone really needs to photoshop in the John Travolta kiss.

I just don’t get how people don’t have the sense to run from someone who looks like that.

Just curious, is this chiro actually injecting something into their joints? Or is it like pretend injections, like with that magic gun thing that makes a click but doesn’t actually do anything?

18th century multi-monitor setup alt-tab!

I’d say the more likely version of that scenario is not all the forks merging, but them all collaborating on a common base project from which they each can still produce their own spin.

The Atlantic

I can’t even imagine what color the sky would be in that world…

I don’t use, but I assume this is an effect of Zuckerberg cozying up to the orange man and rolling back moderation of this kind of thing.

I think an awful lot of them actually have more leftish values, but they are convinced (and there is a huge self reinforcing bubble of that mentality, between media, politicians, and voters) that only the weakest, most watered down version of that can possibly succeed, politically.

like most things, conversation skill is mainly not a conscious thing. any skill a human is reasonably good at is done mostly by unconscious parts of brain, under only loose direction from your conscious mind. most things happen too quickly for deliberate conscious reasoning, which is rather slow. you can’t expect to create a set of rules to run through in your head while you converse. it is more like training a neural net, or an llm or something. you give it feedback, like when you make someone angry, you tell it ‘don’t do that’ (ideally just in the form of feeling bad) and eventually it learns. but it takes time.

There is no ‘supposed to’ about making friends with people you work with. Some may have that opinion but lots of people have made friends with coworkers. Sure if the friendship goes sour it could get awkward at work, but lots of people can navigate friendship without drama.

It’s hard to tell nuance from a text rendering of that conversation, but it potentially sounds like you were rude to coworker 2, reacting dismissively to their comment.

It’s not very impervious to water.

I just measured my usual toilet and while the hole is more squarish than the round one in the picture, the 16.5 length is about right. I don’t have any problem. I’ve got average sized junk, and have maybe a slender to medium build.

Maybe weight, whether one is a ‘shower’ vs a ‘grower’, or some particular anatomical proportion play into it, I don’t know. Maybe how far back one sits is key. Maybe people vary in their butthole to junk measurement. But I don’t think this is as universal a problem as OP thinks. But, hey I’m all in favor of a longer toilet standard for those for whom it is.
