an entire way? he didn’t do any of

control what was bootable on the device at a firmware level, enforce signatures to ensure that you couldn’t boot something unrestricted, remove the ability to be root, and block LD_PRELOAD so signals couldn’t be faked

not to mention Apple Education sells it for $500

tiny bit clickbait, small companies are still at $100,000 unchanged

not that that should exist, either

VS Code is far from the best GDB GUI; in fact I would confidently say that everything about running and debugging in VS Code has been the biggest pain I have ever experienced. even with its recent decade of inattention from the community, Eclipse CDT is miles better than this thing. i’d wager that even Qt Creator is better than it

Anyways, JetBrains recently made CLion free for non-commercial, so that’s what you should use. it is obviously better than VS Code

i wonder how many “fun” pictures the AFP does have

an incredibly bizarre story that isn’t true, unless leavitt is that long-foretold slayer of the cuccoo

The change was to systemd-userdb (and systemd-homed but that one most distros don’t use) which is optional. You can use the init system without it. IIRC You only need it if some apps want to use user records beyond the default NSS ones.

lol i’m not a professional guy either i’m just an enthusiast who learns things but thanks!

the agency was “made aware” that the White House did not like the photo, but stressed that the decision to remove the image was “an internal editorial one, based on our standard quality and selection criteria” and that there was no external pressure.

For what it’s worth, as an amateur photographer I agree. It’s a very weird image of Karoline Leavitt towering over a turkey and—as the oblique angle suggests—threateningly.

reddit says he wasn’t banned but temporarily restricted during a password reset requirement, which showed him as banned due to a reddit bug

mental healthcare field being practically non-existent in most countries

I’m in one of those countries so I’m having a hard time imagining how good mental healthcare could intervene. Could you give me an example?

or sourcehut, i say

I didn’t say that it should be part of the OS. You’re repeating a different (compelling) argument that doesn’t change whether this field is opt-out when this entire subthread is about whether these fields are opt-out since kent_eh said the other fields were opt-out.

exactly, users should disable the optional birthDate field

Your point is true, but I’m saying its impact is also optional.

You specifically named the bills from Colorado and NY. They simply do not include those. https://leg.colorado.gov/bills/SB26-051 https://www.nysenate.gov/legislation/bills/2025/S8102/amendment/A I wholeheartedly believe my characterization of these bills are faithful.

Specifically due to how barebones it is, it is trivial to modify yourself the birthdate sent to applications, as long as you have the system password.

does this support wireless, aka Wi-Fi? I can’t tell from a ~1 minute skim

That is the purpose, but the field is implemented as optional and modifiable with admin privileges.

ever wonder why every coin says “liberty” in some random spot? the coinage act of 1792 mandates that all coins must depict liberty because the US framers did not like “too monarch-like” effigies, so the people in the 1900s just called it a day by slapping onto Amerindians and historical figures the word LIBERTY
