It must be absolutely wild living in North Korea and making $125k US as a sysadmin or whatever. I’m sure they don’t get to keep any of it, but it just must be a mindfuck.

Hm. TIL Inferno; I read but I still don’t feel like I understand it. What I was talking about was a little bit more of a browser-native “OS” shell if you want to call it that… I feel like the kind of ease of interaction that people have on the command line on a Unix system still doesn’t really exist for any type of web resource that I’m interacting with. It’s all separate systems without much unifying access or principle.

Maybe Inferno would have been the answer (like I say I read a little bit still don’t really grasp it), but the WP page seems to say that Lucent didn’t really have a coherent way to deploy or market it and so even it being a good idea wouldn’t really have saved it from obscurity. :-( Like I say it is sad overall, these things were better than the stuff we have around now.

Yeah, makes sense. I think they sort of just missed the boat :-(. I mean, the research that went into it birthed UTF-8, /proc and /sys, a lot of really good things that managed to make it in super-watered-down form into modern operating systems. But I think that if you want to make a modern OS that gets any kind of traction today, it needs to live on the web as opposed to on someone’s personal computer, sad to say.

I think if you wanted to get serious about bringing those ideas into the modern day you would need to just rewrite it from scratch within a different context with a different scope.

9front? I thought that was still pretty active with new releases steadily coming out.

Just read dohpaz42’s comment. They literally copy and pasted for you the relevant text: How to check if you’re infected already, and how to protect yourself in the future (which means apply updates).

Why sure, I would be happy to help you find literally the very first link in the article, which is in the third paragraph. Since you asked politely and all.

Also, don’t click on that Facebook ad

Fuck 'em up

This is pretty much always the result of widespread bombardment of civilian cities. It seems like it would result in people suing for peace, and if you have a certain type of psychopathic version of how to interact, it seems for that reason like it would be a good idea. But it just doesn’t work. Even if you kill a huge fraction of people in the country and reduce a bunch of their cities to rubble, what they want to do is fuck you up even worse in retaliation, not suddenly become submissive and hope you will stop.

Ukraine’s not even retaliating in kind, just hitting military and strategic targets inside Russia. Anyway. Fuck 'em up.

It’s like this in the US too. Everything that comes out of the recruiter’s mouth, and probably a lot of what’s written on the paper you sign, is absolute bald faced lies that will get you killed or crippled. It’s just how it works.

IDK about other countries but that’s what I am familiar with.

Little late guys

But what the fuck, I’ll take it. Now see if you can snatch Netanyahu and put him in The Hague where he belongs. That would be a solid start.

Romania is not the priority, just like the US is not the priority for Trump and France is not the priority for Le Pen.

No water for you, you gotta be able to fit the grooves. As is known.

No, he had to bunch his fingers up because the number of grooves wasn’t right, and only then did it perfectly match. Weren’t you paying attention?

I knew it, man.

I learned MIPS assembly first, and it was like the registers were all a baseball team, with everyone trained and doing their part to try to get the job done.

When I learned about x86 assembly it was like the registers were a tiny band of wacky misfits who were going around in a van trying to solve mysteries.

• Code segment: fine
• Data segment: It’s weird that you even do “segments” but fine
• Extra segment: …
• F segment: Please stop
• G segment: Stop it

“And trust me, I know tyranny.”

Yeah. That’s the way. Maybe one physical switch for “answer call and enable mic” and one for “enable camera and open camera app”. And, if for some reason you want to, you can exit the camera app with it still turned on, but the normal recommended process is to flip it back closed when you’re done which takes you back to the home screen. (And, if being in the “wrong” position when you want it, if you exited the “wrong” way the last time, serves as a gentle reminder to be better about your data security.) I like it.

I rememeber downloading a little 20-second audio clip of some interesting radio traffic, and I think it took about 15 minutes to download.

Phones need way more physical switches on them.

One for camera (maybe for mic, not sure how that would work out with the “phone” aspect for any of those deviants who still use their phones for voice calls), one for GPS. Maybe we could add one for USB data, next to the port. Actually even better for the camera would be a little slidey plastic cover like the old SGI webcams. One for a kill-switch that stops all battery power so it’s not pinging towers while it’s “off”.

IDK, it seems kind of silly that the solution to this particular problem is not hardened phones for defense personnel of which no ability to transfer data over the cable whatsoever would be a fairly good early step (one among many). There are lots more malicious chargers in the world other than Chinese vehicles. In general phones are just a nightmare.

As long as they were not fired…
