It’ll only affect 32bit systems with ancient operating systems storing dates in epoch time.
Not a small number. But nowhere remotely near what Y2K could have been.
Hopefully by the time we need to account for a 64bit rollover, I’ll be comfortably retired. But by that time, proton decay may be a more worrisome problem.
I think that it’s absolutely fair to jump on Microsoft for this.
There is nothing wrong with this hardware. RAM and CPU clock speed plateaued a long time ago. The overwhelming majority of these systems being thrown away would run Linux flawlessly.
Microsoft has never given a damn about security before. These new security “features” do more to lock people in than they do to keep them safe.
I stopped caring several years ago.
It’s like when Disney bought Star Wars. They homogenized it to make it more palatable and ended up making it dull and unappetizing. Neither franchise has a soul anymore. Just a formulaic plot with a set of waypoints in a dull 3 act format. Sprinkle in some in-humor, pedestrian jokes, and a special effects budget that would make the Pentagon blush and you have a recipe for dull tripe.
My off the cuff thought is that it may be used to change the content on the tags. Show it a specific QR code and it updates the content.
They cynical side of wants to believe that it’s being used to gather shopping analytics and correlate it to facial data.
Can I expect similar protections for The Satanic Verses, or is this another instance of religion being afforded a special status with the power to control non-adherents lives?
I always get the two mixed up.
Depends on how you interpret the Golden Age text. But you’re correct that the former is the light bringer and the latter is adversary/legal opponent.
But the silver age crap messed with that canon.
My head canon is that Lucifer was a member of the Q Continuum while Satan was a misunderstood Time Lord.
The Pope needs to have a sit-down with the folks at Disney to learn how to properly manage a shared imaginary universe.
Old archaeologist joke:
Q. Why are the Great Pyramids in Giza?
A. Because they wouldn’t fit in the British Museum.
Ordered the iFleshlight. Looking forward to seeing the jealous looks I get at the coffee shop.
Jellyfin is a great and superior alternative.
People still buy Lenovo laptops, Sony music, use Microsoft products and Google services.
No matter how loathsome and evil a company has acted towards their oysters, there will always be people who lined up to get shucked.
Which makes my incomprehensible notes to my future self an elaborate form of masturbation.
ChatGPT: How can I help?
Marketing: Imagine Ned Flanders dipping a piece of white bread into water. Now write an equivalent piece of meaningless corporate drivel.
I dunno. The Jewish people are part of a global cabal with access to space lasers and they still fell victim to mass extermination. I imagine that the queer community is playing a similar long con.

Hardcore History (I know, Dan Carlin is looked down upon by proper historians, but I still think he has value as a storyteller and he does cite his sources) and Our Fake History both had multipart episodes on him too.
Spoiler. He ends up committing some light genocide.
Just a sanity check here…
X née Twitter is suing a non-profit for trying to cancel it…on a platform that they literally own.
I’m confused here…
The “horse and sparrow” types have been telling us to not spend money unnecessarily. This will lead to being able to afford more bootstraps.
Soon we realize that children are crazy expensive. Doubly so here in Freedom-land where you’re lucky if you get more than a few weeks off of work and a $75k hospital bill. Which your insurance company will fight to the bitter end.
So we decide to be responsible and postpone family plans until we can afford it without going into debt for the rest of our lives.
And now there’s a moral panic about that?!
Pick one! Give up your monthly mega-yacht and allow the breeder class to get caught up financially, or stop griping about millennials postponing having children.
That’s Voyager.
Great… Now I get to look forward to a trip back from the delta quadrant.
https://github.com/koepnick/dotfiles cloned into ~/.config
I typically start with a restrictive .gitignore and add directories as needed.
A ton of stuff that I always forget like mpv, vifm, and whatnot always slipped through the cracks before. Now I can clone to practically anywhere and have everything just work.
Totally agree with you.
I was abused in church but never in school (outside of racial epithets). Sometimes it’s easy to forget that not everybody develops a gallows humor as a coping mechanism. Thinking back to those times while in a depressive stage is a recipe for disaster.
But you are absolutely correct. Some things should only be joked about when in a group of trusted people. And I accept your advice in the spirit in which it was meant. To foster a more accepting and safer community for everybody and not as a way of getting a cheap joke.
I’d much rather be gently corrected than to be part of the background noise that might be making people feel uncomfortable.
Genuinely, thank you.
I used to think that I wanted to distro hop. Turns out that what I wanted was a bare bones OS that gave me the freedom to rice in strange and unnatural ways.
After 25(!) years of battling X11, dependency hells, and the early days of desktop compositing, I finally realized that what I wanted was Arch, and a few window managers to play with. SwayWM, and now Hyprland.
Unless you have some niche needs (real-time audio encoding) or want to play with more esoteric experiments (Nix, OSTree, etc), distro hopping is overkill.
But most distros have homogenized to the point to where all you need is knowledge about systemd to go from one to the other.
Just pick your favorite, non-snap distro and hack on it.
