In bluefin (silverblue based) they have brew preinstalled, which helps alot. Plus now its more mac-like.
I watched 6 hours of videos the other day and found some pretty bad incidents of zero empathy. He told a black kid who was almost gay bashed that he was lying. He offered support but threatened him if he was lying. I could see he actively kept conversations civil but his asshole personality would shine through.
Since when is pissing off college kids and being an asshole worthy of a medal? When you have Trump as president.
Pretty crap excuse to fire someone over.

I think the dangers are over stated. If you give it access to non-privileged data, use BTRFS snapshots and ban certain commands at the shell level, then no worries.
About as useful as the annoying high volume notifications. No substitute to professional equipment and a doctors visit.

Umm most people buy them for the hardware. On paper my 16e sounds really good but is crap compared to the 17 pros cameras plus photonic engine. Apple gimps software in non pros. I don't take alot of pics so I don't really care for the pro. Id rather get an old DSLR.

Better to have a limited data plan like Roamless(data doesn't expire) and stock up on epubs. Then when your away from wifi all you can do is read books.

I was thinking the samething about subway. Ideally everyone would just order a sandwich online and by the time they arrive its ready to go. You scan a QR code(or enter a code) and your sandwhich pops out of hole. Having the option to make or in front of you slows down production and is awkward talking over fans and such.

I nominate you for a Woke Grammy. Congrats!
Another dumb move by Nintendont. UFS has been around since 2010 and is much faster.

iShell with SSH is the best free app. I tried it with a keyboard and got a true fullscreen terminal. I could run btop even.
Re:How to Phish a Crypto Scammer on Tuesday August 12, 2025 @12:38AM (#44872468)
I feel like these scammers were extra cautious and not that greedy. I could tell they were reading a script of the first guy with the UK accent could've been the head of operation. That would've been extremely challenging to fish him.
Re:How to Phish a Crypto Scammer on Tuesday August 12, 2025 @12:36AM (#44872452)
Nice! I was curious how their operation worked. I think they were going to email me a fake link to a Coinbase login. I'm wondering how they spoofed the emails and made them appear like they were coming from legitimate domains. One was a German hotel the other was a Japanese utility company. I was surprised at the level of security they had.

My failed attempt. They do verification and I failed twice.

Congrats! Weird how you lost half your customers during COVID when sales of home treadmills were exploding.
Yeah but those are open standards, where as Microsoft is the only one with true knowledge of its XML.
Don't put yourself at risk of going to a detention camp and stick with doing it in Canada.
Anyone want to trade citizenships? I'm US looking for European or other citizenship. I'm not using mine productively anyway.
Re:Claude's system prompt is over 24k tokens with tools on Wednesday May 07, 2025 @08:35AM (#43914851)
I wonder if It could really think if it would be disappointed that Trump won. He was the most illogical and harmfull canidate according to 99% of media.
What type of rules? Like no feeding the Kangaroos? Those things look like freddy kruger.
When I read things like this it makes Australia look like a penal colony.
Re:Which year: guess which year each photo was taken on Sunday April 20, 2025 @07:37PM (#43747351)
I have a tendency to date films and photos by their quality. Thats why I was 16 years off on the 1934 one. I got the first one exactly right, even though Im born in 1990.Some B&W cameras 80 years ago took better pictures than most cameras today.
