They’ve literally corporatized everything over there, everything is designed by committee now in hopes to hit as wide an audience as possible. They’d rather not take creative risks and create slop to get number to go up.

Ahh, a ~/.local/opt folder makes so much sense. I’m currently just using a ~/.opt folder, same purpose.

This reads like a classic LinkedinLunatics post and I love it. Great parody!

The history of insulin is exactly that. Although it’s not attributed to a single person but a few.

How about house them in a way that take away their voting rights and use them as cheap labor? Member how prisoners were used to fight the Palisades fires in January?

People are pretty sick of Mette Frederiksen and Peter Hummelgaard and the rest of the party, so I sure hope they get as little influence in Copenhagen as possible.

Polling earlier this month by Megafon for TV2 had the Green Left (Socialistisk Folkeparti, known as SF), the Red-Green Alliance (Enhedslisten) and the Alternative (Alternativet) in a position to form a left-leaning majority without the support of the Social Democrats.

This is how I find out that he has a yacht called “Rocinante”.
I couldn’t find the date where Gaben bought it, but the boat was originally built in 2008 and for someone else, so I guess I don’t know if Gaben is a “The Expanse” fan or just a fan of “Don Quixote”. I’d prefer the former.
Anywho… #EatTheRich

Idk if its a toxic trait to give solutions even though no help was asked for, but I always used Sysinternals Process Explorer to find the culprit. You just search for the file that “is open” by another program, and voila, you can see what you need to kill in order to delete said file.
I haven’t had this problem on linux though.

The Danes

As a Dane myself, assuming the entire country is pro-surveillance annoys me to no end. Just a few weeks ago there was enough signatures to send in a proposal to folketinget to stop this insanity.
It ends with:

Når Rusland indfører masseovervågning, ryster vi på hovedet og kalder det diktatur. Når EU vil gøre det samme, er det “for børnenes skyld” og forventer, at alle bare nikker.

->

When Russia introduces mass surveillance, we shake our heads and call it dictatorship. When the EU wants to do the same, it is ‘for the sake of the children’ and expects everyone to just nod in agreement.

Woah, that’s wild. If you run the browser in fullscreen mode (F11) it’s almost like you’re running it on your own machine. Pretty cool service.

I guess in theory you’re right. If you’re executing code, you’re executing code. But usually when executing EXE files it tends to target Windows machines, but yeah, there’s no way of telling if it’ll recognize it’s in a linux environment and do it’s thing there as well.
Especially because OP mentioned he just clicked “Yes”/“Allow” to all the super user prompts.

Now personally I don’t run an Arch system and only install software from my distro + flatpak; So I feel pretty secure for now. But I can see that trend buckling as the AUR is already under attack.

Seeing as how America still measures things in foot, I think the measurement for horsepower would probably be “manpower”, as weak as that is. Or maybe dogpower? I know first nation people used dogs as sled animals, and that’s pretty much universal - except for Oceania.

Lest we forget about the Xubuntu malware thing that just happened recently. It only targeted windows users though.

You’re probably not wrong. The AUR has become an increasingly more popular target for malware.

I literally just watched this video yesterday which, as you mention yourself, talks about how modern malware will add itself to the exclusion list aka whitelist.

_{Anyway this is a good reason to try linux…}

Remember Jarhead with Jake Gyllenhaal?
They were literally depressed because they didn’t get to shoot enough people…

But at what cost… At what cost…

Very good point. At least dogs recognize human expressions, but I don’t know if horses have developed as deep an evolutionary bond as that.

If you’re asking it to add numbers below 10 there’s an up to 5% of getting it right. And I doubt you’re asking it to add 9+9 so probably closer to 10% and above if you’re asking it to put, say, 4+4 together.
That said, I don’t think they’re dumb at all.
Out of animals their size, they’ve found a niche for sure and avoided becoming irrelevant for thousands of years (since ~3500 BCE).
