How much does your VPN cost?

Also, whatever Firefox puts out there is not gonna be slower than TOR which has 3x the encryption and routing overhead of a typical VPN and also has no SLA guarantees at all. There’s a reason a middle-ground exists between no tunnel and mega 3x tunnel, and there’s nothing wrong with saving a few bucks if all you want to do is not be as profitable to data aggregators

TL:DR; stop making shit up

I saw this and sound “holy shit” aloud. If this sketchy source is legit, this is probably pretty big. The stock market has been wobbly the last few days.

Part of their next gen release, so probably 1 year after their most recent refresh cycle

If you run it locally this would be fine. Mathematically the result would be more like a hash of your writing style; still unique but difficult to determine the origin, y’know?

I can’t stop finding this hilarious

What redeemed the first 50 years?

Just bring a USB and try a few distros that have a live environment; I think they pretty much all do.

People who don’t know about cars

No that sounds like a huge pain in the ass and I’ve never met someone that wanted to switch to Linux and wait a few days or more for a recommendation

This is talking about windows made of glass, not an operating system.

The only Arch distros I know that are solid are Arch itself, Steam OS, and Cachy OS. The latter 2 have meaningful optimizations for their intended use which is really the only excuse for a new derivative IMO besides things like different release schedules.

Yeah cause when I instinctively click the Microsoft learn link below the Azure error it takes me to copilot instead of documentation.

Architecture?

“Yeah not sure why it’s not showing up, it looks like it’s connect to my wifi”

PBR with openwrt, then don’t give the ring’s fw zone access to jack except for their ping service, or whatever it needs to show online without video. Or just block it entirely.

TBF, if you’re not running FOSS at the edge of your network you have don’t have the full view what’s going on anyway.

A cult turning on its leader is not zero sum but instead manifested by the base becoming more devout and, as a cause, shrinking.

MAGA has gotten crazier not because they grip their beliefs more firmly, but because those with “looser” grips have fallen.

Having said that, his voter base has gotten larger and larger with each election. My rebuttal to this is that the vast majority of swing voters vote with the following logic: “Do I like how things are”

If yes, vote same party, otherwise vote opposition.

The early 2020s were better under Biden than they would have been under Trump, but they still generally sucked for first time home buyers, people beginning their career, etc.

What?

This might be a hot take, but I think it started with tying internet identities to real identities.

If you want to be even more pumped, check out the PA Supreme court election and Virginia’s governor election.

TLDR: PA sided with trump by about 2% in 2024 but chose to retain 3 democratic justices this hear by ~23% each.

VA has had a MAGA candidate as governor since 2021 and they just elected a dem governor by a whopping 15% margin.

Finally, CA has decided to redraw its congressional districts to erase the republican gains from the Texas redraw, and CA did it with a 30% margin.

NJ has had Latino communities that were previously Trump leaning areas swing heavily in favor of dems yesterday, too, which is likely because of increasing CoL and ICE activity in their communities.

All in, democrats not only took every win they were hoping for but absolutely dominated across the board with no close calls.

So, reading that study, I have a few concerns about how it was conducted and my concerns generally aligns with their findings. Primarily, their source for information is the payroll system of the companies studied, which in my experience is nothing more than an HR drone entering into the system what they’re told to enter. If the prescribed reason is AI even when it was really business performance, then that kind of aligns with the study in the OP.

Their graphs of roles most and least exposed to AI disruption is dandy, but if you think about it (with the exception of customer service roles) the jobs that are threatened are typically not production roles for the company, and are moreso ancillary positions for most companies. I’m a software engineer for a company that doesn’t sell software, which means I’m more of a luxury than a necessity; this is true for the majority of software engineers.

The roles least exposed to AI, according to the study, are production roles that play a core role in the product delivery of the company. Things like construction workers, nurses, cooks, etc. are only in businesses where they are the core of the business model. I’ve never seen a movie theater chain employ nurses or cooks in droves, but they have employed secret shoppers (auditors), accountants, software engineers, etc. and are likely to trim that fat when times get tough. I think this is more of an economic health indicator than anything, IMO.

As someone whose job runs several FOSS projects, I think you’re making up the fact that it adds meaningful workload.

I think that, for all intents and purposes, protecting IP is equivalent to stifling competition.

I think giving away code benefits the entire Android ecosystem, which might be the largest data mining operating Google has. I fully believe that’s of nonzero benefit.
