Interesting! I had not even realized that this was a problem, though it makes sense now after your description. How realistically feasible is this type of approach, though, given that the manufactures can always just ignore the kernel’s request to reprogram them and continue to access the bus and memory directly?

What exactly does the statement that Linux does not already “embrace the whole hardware” mean?

So in other words your clothes are very organized?

Shirt of Theseus?

So you are saying there is no reason not to double Linux to version 12 in order to out-do Windows?

I personally am extremely concerned about the fact that Windows is already at version 11 but Linux has not even made it to version 7 yet.

What’s scary is all of the ways they can track you even without your browser actively cooperating. For example, they can create an HTML5 canvas, render a bunch of shapes, and then probe individual pixels to get a read on your graphics card and drivers. The EFF has a very educational test you can subject your browser to in order to see how easy it is to fingerprint it based on these kinds of things.

And here I naively had been wondering before reading this article what was so inherently privacy invading about using fingerprints to unlock devices…

A related tactic is sealioning:

Yeah, there is nothing more annoying in general when starting to type text into a co-workers desktop than having random letters show up rather than having the cursor move around.

nano -> vim

This one is extremely consistent with the others because once you have made the switch, it becomes harder to escape.

So in short, they do not suck so much as blow?

What’s more, the entire video content, with timestamps, is readable in-description, because they must have realized people like yourself prefer that sometimes, you just didn’t take the time to look.

Sure, but in fairness I think that the intent of that saying is not to say that husbands should not be happy but to counterbalance the trend that used to be more historically prevalent in marriages for the wife to be treated as an appendage of the husband and taken for granted. If you view your partner as co-equal then arguably this saying simply does not apply to you at all.

This will finally be the year of the Wayland desktop!

I am sure he did, brother; I am sure he did!

That’s really cool! Naively I would have thought that modes of mechanical vibration would have involved too many parts to be able to coherently store quantum information. It would not have occurred to me that the real trick to getting this technology to work is actually not in getting the mechanical resonator to act like a quantum object, but in making it anharmonic so that you can essentially separately address each of the modes.

The Software Publishers Association has finally won:

It is no longer possible to copy that floppy. :-(

Doesn’t language editions solve that problem? (I am not a Rust expert so please correct me if I am wrong.)

You make the excellent point that expressing enthusiasm for using Linux to solve problems is entirely inappropriate for an online Linux community.
