For anyone wondering, the dude seems to be a professional scumbag: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martin_Shkreli

Or maybe unprofessional, given he himself got scammed. Also, has a YouTube channel where he likely talks out of his ass about more things one person could know about reasonably well.

Wanna real challenge? I present you, no net November. Interactions with any networks are strictly prohibited.

Well, duh, it's like reading the fire is hot, then burning yourself touching it, and complaining about it. Why'd you use Debian on a desktop anyways? You can technically use snap/flatpak/appimage/nix/guix/etc to get newer packages, tho. Not sure why, but still.

Also,

Linux isn't going TPM2 (yet) which prevents rootkits, bootkits, keyloggers, and malware.

Boot/rootkits -- maybe, depending on the setup. Keyloggers and malware -- how exactly? The only thing it creates is a chain of trust, and it so happens that most malware, including keyloggers, works in user-space (albeit preferably with elevated privileges). Besides, if you want max security, you want heads + qubes anyway.

So, you're an optional argument?

[–] fl42v@lemmy.ml 6 points 7 months ago

Yeah, that probably means you should overthrow that boss and elect a new one. Just sayin'

Lefthand side is empty, "empty" is not a number, hence x is NaN as well.

Feeder works fine with the 1st 2, but the last has no articles (i mean the file the site provides) so it's hard to check. It can def. add it, tho

I mean, "give access" and "double your bitcoin" are somewhat textbook phrases for scams...

Although, I def. see how one can miss it at first. I remember one bank scam call where the thing that ultimately clued me in was a rather unprofessional response along the lines of "don't call crying back to us" when I've said I'm a bit busy to go check the card or whatever they've asked to, while what should've done this in the 1st place was another textbooky "have u transfered any funds to Joe Shmoe". Looking back, would've been funy AF to pull the Karen on them 🥲

We have minecrafts on linux. One useful-ish thing that I can think of (and currently use waidroid for) is myscript's nebo, a handwritten note-taking app with quite good OCR. Since myscript don't build their SDK for Linux, let alone apps, it's somewhat the only way currently, I guess... Unless you can run wpf-s via wine somehow?

I don't really understand the 1st requirement...

allow 3rd-party app stores

So, apparently f-droid/aurora/etc are not allowed or something?

let stores distribute the same stuff gplay does

As in "give 'em a way to pull stuff from gplay and not punish for letting ppl download it"? Mb useful, but the lack of specificity may defend the purpose. Like currently, AFAIK, nobody really prevents ppl from publishing both on gplay and f-droid, for example

The rest lgtm

 

So, a while ago I bought a cheapest oneplus 6 available in my area to subject it to a few experiments with running Linux. Among the other issues that came for that price, the power button was almost flush to the frame, hard to press, and had almost no feedback.

Today I finally got tired of it and decided to check what's wrong. The button itself turned out to be just fine, but the thingy that presses it looked weird:

After a few tries of gluing smth to extend the middle pin, I found out that I can just cut off a piece of plastic from the blister of my favorite headache pills and place it between the button and said thingy. Works wonders 🤣

Btw, the actual problem is that it was missing a few rubber spacers, as far as I understand, but whatever

Tinkering is all fun and games, until it's 4 am, your vision is blurry, and thinking straight becomes a non-option, or perhaps you just get overly confident, type something and press enter before considering the consequences of the command you're about to execute... And then all you have is a kernel panic and one thought bouncing in your head: "damn, what did I expect to happen?".

Off the top of my head I remember 2 of those. Both happened a while ago, so I don't remember all the details, unfortunately.

For the warmup, removing PAM. I was trying to convert my artix install to a regular arch without reinstalling everything. Should be kinda simple: change repos, install systemd, uninstall dinit and it's units, profit. Yet after doing just that I was left with some PAM errors... So, I Rdd-ed libpam instead of just using --overwrite. Needless to say, I had to search for live usb yet again.

And the one at least I find quite funny. After about a year of using arch I was considering myself a confident enough user, and it so happened that I wanted to install smth that was packaged for debian. A reasonable person would, perhaps, write a pkgbuild that would unpack the .deb and install it's contents properly along with all the necessary dependencies. But not me, I installed dpkg. The package refused to either work or install complaining that the version of glibc was incorrect... So, I installed glibc from Debian's repos. After a few seconds my poor PC probably spent staring in disbelief at the sheer stupidity of the meatbag behind the keyboard, I was met with a reboot, a kernel panic, and a need to find another PC to flash an archiso to a flash drive ('cause ofc I didn't have one at the time).

Anyways, what are your stories?

 

Off the top of my head, I can't think of a word in English that ends with "is" while being singular, only plurals and uncountables come to mind, so I can't really follow the examples of other words. What makes it even weirder, I'm not sure how to pronounce Illinoises... Would it be as written, or as if an Illinois was pronounced by someone who has never encountered it before? Illinoi are also meh, since now plural looks as a singular and the other way round.
