Creeps want that. Anyone who wants to watch nonconsensual pornography is a creep. Much as rape is often about power more than sexual desire, I suspect many of these creeps want to see a politician they dislike in a degrading situation.

It’s easy to find examples of homemade guns. Here’s a blog full of them: https://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/author/improguns/

Most of them are made with crude metalworking, not 3D printing. Making a quality firearm is difficult; making one that goes bang most times the trigger is pulled is not.

Why is such a piece of software still allowed in managers?

Linux package repositories are not necessarily curated for software quality. Some are. Some aren’t, and that’s intentional.

Most of them are going to include Evolution though since it’s the official mail app for Gnome. The criticism is more reasonably directed at Evolution itself rather than distribution maintainers. Decent spam filtering with a low out of the box false-positive rate is a reasonable expectation from a “batteries included” mail client.

I think the goal is to grant exceptions in exchange for bribes or political favors, because the FCC has already behaved that way with a similar rule about routers.

Thanks for the clickbait-skip. There’s still an important point missing: this doesn’t apply to ownership, use, or sale of existing devices. It doesn’t even block importation of existing models. It blocks certification of new models

Using a big tech option for something like a password manager is a bad idea in general. Eggs, baskets, etc…

I was expected to post three tweets, two Instagram posts, and two TikToks per day. I was also expected to plan, film, edit, and post two Floatplane exclusives per week. This included wrangling people to be in them when they were also all struggling to get their work done.

This sounds like a normal workload for a full-time social media manager. The article doesn’t provide any details about the sexual harassment allegation.

The default user agent string for the browser that comes with the Steam Deck appears to identify it as Linux, so anybody counting that way without explicitly separating it would count it as Linux.

People have been claiming that the current year is the “year of the Linux desktop” because of some improvement to Linux usability or action Microsoft took to offend people for decades. The claim has not come true by any reasonable metric for just as long.

It would be less surprising to me from someone who doesn’t understand how computers work at all and only wants to use SMS. It’s weird from someone who already uses several messaging apps.

What (if anything) does that friend use for messaging?

And the video stability doesn’t match with someone holding up a phone like that.

Image stabilization can be pretty good lately, but I must admit that I don’t spend much time watching handheld phone selfie videos.

You probably also guessed that the stripper isn’t actually attracted to you.

I watched the three video clips and would not have initially guessed the leotard gymnast and the mechanic are generated. The sad gymnast looks a little plastic.

What actually looks fake in the mechanic video after a couple loops is the valve notches on the pistons, which are rotated from the correct orientation, and overlapping in a way that the laws of physics would not support.

Sure, you have the right to manage your servers however you like… and I have the right to unfairly use you as a proxy for my rage at everyone who has ever broken the Internet’s global nature to make their server log files a little less noisy.

You have experienced the problem and you do it anyway?

Services that do region blocking also tend to block public VPNs. Breaking the internet like this is bad, and you should feel bad for doing it.

The statute is constructed in an unusual way because it doesn’t require that the threat is transmitted to someone who believes it. It says:

(a) A person commits disorderly conduct when he or she knowingly:

…

(3.5) Transmits or causes to be transmitted in any manner a threat of destruction of a school building or school property, or a threat of violence, death, or bodily harm directed against persons at a school, school function, or school event, whether or not school is in session;

Laws against transmitting threats are usually written in a manner that excludes jokes sent to friends who understand that they are jokes.

Also, use Signal. Signal will not call the cops when you send dumb jokes to your friends. There are no good reasons for most people to not use Signal.

Blocking all traffic from regions of the world that you have no intention of servicing is a very valid cybersecurity layer.

I pretty regularly run into things that block access or make me complete captchas while I’m traveling. I may not be in a region you intend to service, but I’m (possibly) from a region you intend to service. Airplanes are a thing.

Buying access to a residential proxy to deal with that situation would be an extreme step for most people, but as a cybersecurity practice, it’s problematic.

Absolutely. 500mW+ lasers can injure human eyes in a fraction of a second, even from a reflection, similar to how they can destroy a camera sensor.

They’re not particularly hard to get online in the USA though.

Sure would be a shame if someone pointed lasers into them.
