You missed the point - they default to a dotfolder where all of those dotfiles go. You likely already have one!

The default is there to allow users and OS maintainers to not worry about it. It still goes in your home directory, but at least it's organised.

What were the actual ropes themselves made of? Just standard rope materials?

I don't think you should take anything you read on /g/ seriously, much less anything about shills. That board (like most on 4chan) is really needlessly toxic, and prolonged exposure can lead you to believe that everyone's a shill.

think you misunderstand what the extension does - it hid paywalls, not ads

Not entirely on topic, but Marriott seems to be dealing with some internal phone abuse issues as well - calls going directly to hotel rooms (bypassing the front desk) and asking for card details to fix broken incidentals records. I got a call like this yesterday and found out that it's enough of an issue that they've printed out signs in the lobby warning guests to not hand out information.

Kind of out there, but what prevents modification of the law from bad actors? Git history plays a part but is it possible for someone to edit a change and play all the subsequent changes on top of it, with the hope that nobody notices the sha change?

Yeah, I don't trust this article. The only point it makes that I can agree with is that the opioid crisis isn't resolved yet, which is a very easy conclusion to reach.

The addictive nature of the substance combined with the body's growing resistance to it leads to users of the substance to use larger doses to achieve the same high, in some cases not exercising any caution about dosage, leading to overdose.

Would you like to know what I'm not doing?

I'm not spending $700 on a locked-down linux tablet with 4GB RAM. Unfortunately I don't think I will ever be at a point where a tablet is worth more to me than 440 double cheeseburgers.

Didn't they patent the corners on iPads and iPhones? Just a rumour that I've heard as a reason we couldn't get parts a few years back, but still.

Yes, but Essential was teasing the notch for months at least.

Similar situation, though my girlfriend has borderline. It's a struggle, one that I occasionally wonder about the worthiness of, but I try to help her through her problems. I just wish I knew how to address the root issue.

Two years working in support trying to perform RCAs on arcane issues and I can't find an answer to why my girlfriend is angry sometimes. It's disheartening to say the least but I haven't given up yet.

Perhaps I am seeing patterns where there are none, but I've seen that articles with the wrong kind of controversial potential sometimes get bumped back. I'm having difficulty putting it to words, though, and can't produce any evidence to back it up.

It's a real shame, sometimes. I feel there is a lot that can be learned from Terry Davis and TempleOS.

Maybe we shouldn't use avionics (the article we're commenting on is about a buffer overflow bug in new Boeing planes that could drop them from the sky) engineers to train the auto industry on system security

Maybe I'm out of touch, but for messaging apps wouldn't it be desirable to have an actual service from a native app that you can enable/disable in your OS?

If nothing is unlimited, then you should not advertise as such. Not sure why you're even bringing that up except to be pedantic.

Pretty clear statement - unlimited data is either unlimited or not. Throttling customers because they reached the limit on what you're selling as "unlimited" is deceptive at best, and actually harmful at worst. We're seeing the latter here, and still people want to correct the customer on what unlimited means.

Simply put: this marketing tactic is a Bad Thing because it sells people something they didn't want with a sticker that said it was what they wanted.

Agreed. At a certain point you find that you've made more than a browser, you've made a full OS

Reminds me of the Eternal September...

That isn't true - body modification has been a facet of human culture for a long, long time.
