Oh you’re right. I saw the 9/11 and missed the year, 2022.

Sadly the account is already suspended.

I thought Twitter was all about freeze peach.

I use flat case most of the time, but I also try to stick to single word files so there is no case to get in the way.

I think for documents I might share like a PDF I’d use Pascal case.

In a classroom or teaching setting I will sometimes use Kebab case as I find it is the least confusing and makes it extra clear where the word division is. Similarly I avoid Dot notation since it’s confusing for folks coming from a Windows world.

And I would avoid Screaming because that’s just too loud anywhere.

Lorelei.

Gen 1 Aurora Beam has a niche.

The nice thing about BG3 is that it isn’t going anywhere. In fact it’s getting a little extra polish the longer you wait (not that it needs it, just as a bonus).

BG3 was an excellent game a year ago, it’s an excellent game today, and I feel confident in saying it will be an excellent game for years to come.

It’s not some live service play every day for a chance to win a hat game. It isn’t an MMO where a year from now every will have moved on to new content. It isn’t a game with season passes and unrelated DLCs that screw up the balance or over gear your starting character or awkwardly take you out of the main game.

It’s just a solidly excellent game.

I agree but that is what Twitter seems to have done and for some reason it’s still around. Dying, but still around.

Sure that reveals your distro, but also consider what is in the logs you’re sharing. If you’re asking for help you probably also already said that you’re running Debian. Or the logs are full of apt logs already, querying a well known Debian mirror.

You’re right that PC is a fine default, but think about the whole picture as well.

Sure but if someone paid you $12m a year to throw a ball around, would you take it?

If another team offered you $13m would you change teams?

If everyone else is getting paid $12m, can I just pay you $50k?

Also if the entire NBA colluded to reduce everyones pay by $1m per year, every year, would that be fair and reasonable?

They’ll never remove it because that’s how they get AI training data.

It’s also a (US) election year, which tends to just be crazier than normal. It’s possible Reddit is tweaking things, but it’s also possible that election years bring out the worst in people. I definitely noticed a change back in 2016, less in 2020 but also COVID made everything weird.

There is also the obvious exodus of users in the past year. I’m not saying it’s a lot in terms of numbers, and I’m sure they were replaced, but I suspect some shift in demographics.

Also Twitter. Twitter had a huge rage problem before Muskrat took over, but now it is soooooo much worse. For some reason people don’t leave and then I’m sure carry over that rage to other sites.

You’ve been duped.

https://old.reddit.com/r/Millennials/

Seems to be the “real” subreddit.

https://old.reddit.com/r/millenials

With a missing second “n” seems to be a bot filled hell hole.

But also, I only left reddit a year ago and have never heard of the sub so who knows.

Also remember that Reddit as a whole is only going to get worse. The only goal is to make as much money as possible before it crashes in a cesspool of pure garbage like Facebook or Twitter.

Nobbleberry is my favorite show.

As far as I know. You could probably get fancy moving to dev mode and then install whatever, but I’m plenty happy with Debian.

Crostini. https://chromeos.dev/en/linux

A “one click” install of Debian (in a VM) that runs alongside your ChomeOS device. It’s a great starter tool for those getting used to Linux and even for the Linux Pro it gives you a terminal, which 99% of the time is all I need.

You can use GUI applications as well so GIMP and other tools are available.

Super easy, barely an inconvenience.

I just want to second the dirty gin martini.

I’ve never been a fan of the martini, but dirty gin is excellent.

Based on the headline, “Neat”.

Based on your comment, “Ohhhhh Yeah!” (in Macho Man Randy Savage voice).

I look forward to the ridiculous future.

That’s a link to the most recent release of Firefox and the security vulnerabilities that were fixed.

You’ll notice the first one listed says, “This issue could allow an attacker to perform remote code execution and sandbox escape.”

So if you visited a site that exploited that bug, it escaped the sandbox and ran whatever code it wanted to. Since you were running as root it could do anything it wants. Your device is now the property of someone else. Potentially all your data has been stolen. You probably didn’t even notice.

Now. Realistically. You probably didn’t get exploited. Your device may not be vulnerable to that particular bug. But new bugs are found, and fixed, and created every day. Can you be sure you weren’t exploited?

Let’s look at it a different way. Think of it like driving a car with no seatbelt or airbags. As long as you don’t crash, you’re fine. The car still works fine without seatbelts and you have more freedom to move your arms around.

Let’s look at it a different way. Do you ever lock the door to your home/apartment? Heck do you even close the door? Why not leave it wide open?

At the end of the day security is about layers and the trade offs for convenience. You can run KDE as root, and you can run Firefox as root. You’ll probably be fine. It’s like driving without a seatbelt or leaving your front door wide open, but you can do it. If you do drive with a seatbelt and at least close your front door, you can probably run KDE and Firefox as a regular user.
