Any distro on a bootable usb drive. Instant OS, no installation needed, just plug it in.

The post about Stephen King moving to Threads says otherwise. But to be fair, it’s Threads and not Bluesky, which people here hate more.

Not really. I mean, sure it’s the same concept, but email has been getting semi-centralized between the big players now, with gmail and maybe icloud getting the largest chunk of users. That would be similar to letting users choose between .world or .ml to sign up with, which is against the fediverse principle to spread the load as wide as possible.

When you present the lowest common denominator internet user with hundreds of instances to choose from and requiring them to think further than clicking through a sign-up page, you lose user interest pretty quickly.

I’m more concerned about scalability. Hosting video gets expensive pretty quickly once people start signing up and using it.

From hacker stock photos to now weird AI generated thumbnails.

I’m an Asian size Medium. American sizing puts me in an awkward middle of S and M. US Small fits best on my shoulders and arms, but the torso is too tight. On the other hand, US Medium fits well on my torso, but the shoulders are too wide and the sleeves too large.

Did you have to do any special configuration, or was it a seamless installation just like a non-mac laptop?

Drink water and walk around your living room. Stay hydrated and get a little exercise in. I also sometimes play mini crosswords because they can be done in less than a minute.

If you can get a kid to tag along with, no age limit.

By finding not happiness, but contentment. As you get older, you learn that to be happy, you have to be content.

Until we are able to travel way faster than what we can do now, I think it’s more feasible to build in space. Lots of implications for long term effects on human bodies though. Most ideal is a wormhole to an identical planet to earth so humans won’t need to adapt.

Tyrell Corporation.

Visit Japan, South Korea, and certain EU countries I’ve never been to yet. Also probably spend 2 weeks back in my home country to visit immediate family and some friends.

The conditions would be that all the controls that are in place to prevent it from happening are bypassed, which no one has proven yet. For example, Apple has developed their devices (assuming not jailbroken) in such a way where the camera and microphone usage indicators are hardwired and can’t easily be bypassed by software hacks. So if your phone was listening to you all the time, then the microphone indicator light would always be on. Listening 24/7 would also drain the phone’s battery and use up so much data it would be noticeable. Another example is Siri. It is actually designed in a way where there are 2 components. The first one is local on the phone and separate from the actual Siri component. It is what’s actively listening for you to call it. Once you call it, it then activates the actual Siri that transmits your voice inputs online.

No, your phone doesn’t listen to you 24/7. With that out of the way, there are a number of places where youtube may have gotten that info. One possibility is that someone in your household looked up the movie and maybe checked if stuff ripped from netflix is indeed full HD. And since everyone in your family is using the same NAT IP, then it’s easy for youtube to target recommendations at everyone in that household.

This is not great advice, but I just go the Shia Lebouf method. I just tell myself to “Just do it!”. If I need to do something and there’s no way around not doing it, then it’s just a matter of time when that deadline happens and I’ll be more stressed with cramming. So I might as well do it and get it over with.

Right, but the distros employees are allowed to use are dictated by corporate IT so they are able to control them and have the required endpoint security tools. So people who prefer linux have very limited options.

Most of our sysads use macOS. A few use linux but they have limited choices with distros and can only use fedora I think.

When communities just started growing rapidly a year ago, I sorted by Top 6 Hours because there wasn’t enough content yet. Now I do Hot and Scaled because there’s a lot more activity.
