We have banned banning plastic bags here. Does that count?

Subscriptions are so successful simply because they exploit human nature to hide the true costs of what you’re buying, and can be infinitely expensive (in theory).

Good article. Interesting read. I avoid subscriptions wherever possible simply because I think they’re an anti-pattern designed to exploit your mind into paying more money than you would’ve been willing to pay otherwise.

That’s very strange. WireGuard was specifically created in part because of speed limitations.

Ah, I’m sorry. That sounds anxiety-inducing.

Back in my day, being able to pull up a terminal on your phone was major nerd points.

Oh how far we’ve come. Full steam ahead!

I don’t personally spend much of my day thinking at all about my phone. It’s an extension to get to what matters, like my family, or completing a task. I don’t ever think “I’m looking at my smartphone” as much as “I’m talking to my sister” and “I’m using the Bank’s app.”

This was common. I didn’t know anyone who actually went out and bought everything all the same brand right out of the gate.

At least $1000 to get properly started back in the day, although usually family that could afford these would not have purchased it all at once. Modules were added later in a couple of cases that I knew.

In 2025 money, that’s like $5000-ish to fill the cabinet.

Has he tried not being a human pile of feces?

I would hope and expect you aren’t nearly as evil as a billionaire who can easily solve problems for pocket change but chooses not to.

Part of it is because journalism is dead and media generally do not understand cyber security.

Second, if it’s a really good bug, you don’t always want to publish it for free. You’re more likely to sell that information. I think those kinds of bugs tend to get exploited and patched under wraps.

I understand the position that these old containers are not and cannot be supported, but I disagree with the argument that this is a vulnerability in unmaintained software and therefore should not be fixed. It’s malware. One should not knowingly host malware even if the activation of that malware isn’t likely.

Mythbusters would have tested this. Good question.

Gosh how many kids did Trump touch to keep the bit up this long?

I’m sure his supports would condone a few rapes.

I bet that I would be quite a happier creature if I was simply a monkey. I’d love to try it if I could.

Nope you’re right. I should’ve put more effort into it. I’ll edit it my comment.

How mature is the platform? The last time I looked, they didn’t even have proper version numbers. I don’t see a formal “Join Piefed” prominently displayed in a major top search result. It’s suggested to me that it’s less popular but growing.

It appears they have such a join page, but it hasn’t worked its way up to the top of my search results just yet.

Lemmy is wonderful software. The metaphorical artist leaves much to be desired.

Definitely.

I’m a senior developer late in my career, and interns are a source of endless fun. I love it.

Time to test those back ups.
