@f0x The problem with todo whiteboards is that, eventually, your list will end with "buy extra whiteboard"

"(...) 58% of the rapeseed – and 9% of the sunflower oil – consumed in Europe between 2015 and 2019 was burned in cars and trucks, even though their climate impacts may be even worse than fossil fuels. Supermarkets have had to ration vegetable oils and prices are soaring,” said Maik Marahrens from the campaign group Transport & Environment, which carried out the research. “At the same time, we are burning thousands of tons of sunflower and rapeseed oil in our cars daily. In a time of scarcity we must prioritise food over fuel.”
The famed efficiency of the free market is yet again on display for everyone to marvel at its perfection, I see.
@kim Mainly:
- Some SSH-based tools just don't let you set a port at all
- It's security theater - real-world automated SSH scanners can and will just enumerate the entire port space, so it doesn't really do anything to begin with
@kim One of many reasons why I think "run SSH on a non-22 port" is actually bad default advice...
@cassolotl I have very little hope, unfortunately. Using accessibility features as premium bait is a long-standing practice in the freemium market... :/

can't stop thinking about how the movie Cars basically proves that if the USA were built for sentient automobiles and no humans existed, the country would look basically the same.
@juliobiason Pretty much. And not for the first time, either: https://github.com/MicrosoftDocs/intellicode/issues/201

So let me get this straight:
Github scanned a bunch of open source projects.
They trained an AI with it.
They basically ignored the licenses and tried to shove a "because we are basically copying GPL code, it doesn't mean the result is GPL".
And now they are charging for it?

All people (yes “users”) should be told that they can control their computer, that they can hack on things. Acting like it's only possible for some elite priesthood is harmful...

@kescher I've been told that some systems respond to yelling/swearing and/or mashing an invalid key

blah blah security blah blah not everyone's a programmer
yes I know, but I believe lots of people can (with great effort) do a really simple silly programming thing, and they should 𝗯𝗲 𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗮𝗴𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗼!
@ebel On the "not everyone's a programmer" thing -- technically correct, but to my endless frustration, somehow this is always used to conclude "therefore we should keep them out" and not, y'know, "therefore we should make things more accessible to them"
@schratze IMO both the Dell Latitude series (at least last I checked) and the Framework also deserve a spot in the "not actually complete trash" list, which is otherwise very short
