And somehow breaking even more sites than safari; missing many modern features

Welllll I mean technically webkit is totally separate from chromes blink fork for the last several years. I.e. browers like safari and gnome’s epiphany. That said, safari is mac/iOS only and epiphany sucks ass so…

Water - swim

Air - fly

Space - ?? fly

Ground - dig?

Plasma - liquefy?

I think it’s like a villain calling card. As a whole this war has been great for consolidating power

Yeah sure, you can mount an (unencrypted) windows drive in Linux, view the files etc. Linux can support the NTFS filesystem it uses. You can generally even do so from a USB flashdrive install of Linux

Yeah not soon, 3-10 years I’d guess. The latest research tracking AI growth says that our best models can solve entry level CS problems at 85% success. That’s not good

It’s obvious that humans do more than just pattern matching. I think I would rate the current systems as a 25% speedup to my workflow, not bad, but only for menial tasks

Nah you’re all good homie, and clearly an A+ student. Let the good debs roll!

Idk maybe this? Tiling wm plugin for gnome shell (which is the UI) https://gitlab.com/lundal/tactile

“friends with the UAE” level liquid, apparently

Nah, the OS has proprietary overlays that vendors put in there. And it’s not like you’re reviewing and compiling your own software - you’re dependent on your provider to be honest with the software they actually installed. But factually you have no idea if the android phone you purchased has been modified. And Android itself is so huge that backdoors can be sneaky. We have already caught several instances of attempted backdoors in Linux - but there’s always the fear we didn’t find them all

If this all sounds way too paranoid, then review Snowden leaks

Yeah man, the hubris it takes to meet only a few times a year, but imagine that you have the elite wisdom needed make all the decisions. You’re the guy on the board, so by definition you must be smarter than the worker bees, huh?

Well, in my comment I describe quite a number of methods. It doesn’t matter how secure or reviewed signal is, if the feds have a keylogger at the OS or compiler level. It’s really unbelievable how much code is involved in day to day security

Hey bro I mean no offense but there’s a typo

This is actually wrong. There’s a near 100% chance that the decision was made by the board, and also the decision to remove the CEO. So we’re talking about the fall guy, but being an insider, the fall guy will get a tidy sum for the dive

Then the CEO can be recycled to some other project, and a new CEO instated at Unity, so they can pivot or double down with no moral dilemma. In reality, the board was there all along and it’s all a big PR game

Well you gotta be careful if it’s your only donkey but I’m still confident you’ll end up winning a second ass

You bet your ass they can. Since when has Facebook taken anybody’s privacy seriously? And you remember all the Snowden leaks? Like how AT&T has been a government apparatus for spying for decades? Or how about the way that the USA taps under sea cables to monitor data, causing China to build totally parallel backbone infrastructure

The better question is whether Signal, despite being open source, is actually secure. It’s very plausible that the govt has backdoors somewhere, for either encryption, the OS, the programming language, the app store, or some random dependency lib

The answer is yes, the US government spies on everything, and has a complete profile of everyone

Yeah this is why I really like Lemmy. It feels like early Reddit where people are actually worth talking to. People that can change their minds, or learn, or be kind

Maybe it’s an ego trip, but people seem more engaged with what I have to say here. A lot of the time on Reddit, I’ll say something I think is worthwhile, and then just get some random trolls, or a contrarian, or someone not driven by reason to begin with

Like yes the community is small and maybe shrinking atm, but the quality is pretty high. I like the offbeat memes and all the piracy & tech stuff. I like that the admins seem to care. Content actually gets seen since the volume is not too out of control

Idk how long it’s gonna last, but I think Lemmy is the new sweet spot for the social media refugees

I found it hard to understand what this is. Overall summary, it’s using new Linux kernel features to make Docker style containers way more efficient

It allows you to compose a bunch of filesystems into one layered stack of read only, at a mount point. It also shares memory between such filesystems and allows layers to be mounted in multiple places

For those familiar with how container images are built, this should make things a faster compared to the overlayfs techniques before. It also enables some kind of new hyper containerized software packages, but I’m not sure if that’s a big deal. Something like how osx mounts a risk image for install or use

Shit y’know what, fair enough. I never had your particular needs, and I’d probably still have to double check a cache location in case the app didn’t comply, but I feel you

You used to have to do all that stuff before too. Vim has had history, settings, caching, and plugins for ever. And it all used to sit in ~/.vim. Now it’s in ~/.config/vim. What’s the difference?
