Yeah, but there is no separation between being able to do day to day administrative actions like installing software, and being able to do destructive actions no one should need to do unless in exceptional circumstances.

Yeah, I feel like Linux needs the equivalent of Administrator accounts on Windows. Root is the equivalent of the System account on Windows, something even power users might never encounter, because it’s a level of power you shouldn’t ever need.

We need users to have permission to install software and do other administrative tasks, without having permission to do very destructive actions like uninstalling core system packages. Aunt Flo should be able to install Mahjong from her distros package manager GUI, without needing dangerous root access.

Which is his fault, but also this would never happen on Windows. The power and lack of hand-holding of Linux is a great advantage for power users, but with great power comes great responsibility, and many people don’t need the responsibility.

I don’t think it tore, all the lines are straight. Looks like it was just made of separate sheets that weren’t connected, so nothing had to tear, the ones above the hole just fell in.

Sure, then it’s Meta that’s lying. Saying the AI is lying is helping these corporations convince people that these models have any intent or agency in what they generate.

Internal documents on how the AI was trained were obviously not part of the training data, why would they be. So it doesn’t know how it was trained, and as this tech always does, it just hallucinates an English sounding answer. It’s not “lying”, it’s just glorified autocomplete. Saying things like “it’s lying” is overselling what it is. As much as any other thing that doesn’t work is not malicious, it just sucks.

Sure it’s possible, but it’s not practical.

Constellations are symbols in astrology, but stars themselves are not. Sure, constellations are made of stars, but words are made of ink and yet I wouldn’t say ink is a topic of literature.

You do you, in this scenario I think the camera man shouldn’t be blamed.

Sun and Moon are astrological symbols, but stars aren’t, so Starbucks wouldn’t fit. :P

I didn’t watch it, but based on the comment you are replying to, he did nothing wrong? He said he’s going to the bathroom, and went to the bathroom. His camera man got confused and followed him to the bathroom, saw he’s in a bathroom, and left. If anyone did anything wrong it’s the camera man, but clearly it was just a mistake.

I think you meant astronomy. Astrology is pseudoscience horoscopes stuff.

I see, so you mean manually getting the password out of the manager instead of domain based autofill.

What do you mean a password manager that checks the domain? Isn’t the auto fill based on the domain? I can’t imagine how a password manager could fill a password without checking the domain, it wouldn’t know which password to fill after all. Do any actually exist?

Where I worked, “core hours” were 10:00-14:00. You had to work 8 hours at any time you want, including the core hours. So 10:00-18:00, 6:00-14:00, or whatever you want in-between. I found it quite nice.

You mean last year? https://9to5mac.com/2024/06/09/security-bite-apple-refused-to-pay-bounty-to-kaspersky-for-uncovering-vulnerability-part-of-operation-triangulation/

The topic is about phones, and you said:

Gotta love android and IOS being utter dogshit.

If you are saying you started an offtopic conversation about Linux that had nothing to do with phones, and then, unrelated to your own comment, complained about Android and iOS even though your comment had nothing to do with phones, then… that sure is interesting.

bro i use linux, i have literally configured a fingerprint scanner to work before

So did I, can confirm it’s easy, and it doesn’t matter because we are not talking about configuring a fingerprint scanner to work, we are talking about having a phone lock screen that asks for both a fingerprint and a password, something that would require, at the very least, UI that I don’t think exists in any Linux phone project. That there is underlying functionality in PAM to make it happen is irrelevant, because that’s only part of such a solution.

do you think i’m just making up PAM?

No, why? I’m saying that there is no Linux phone where “you can just do this out of the box” like you say.

You claim so and yet have no example article, video, blog post, or any form of proof of it ever being done. Everything is possible in theory, even on iOS (with a jailbreak).

No matter how desperate companies want you to… Apple , looking at you

Are you implying there is some ulterior motive in phone manufacturers including fingerprint scanners? That Apple has them because they secretly want to make it easier for police to conduct phone searches? Because that’s a very bold claim, and “because customers like the convenience” seems to me like a much simpler explanation.
