Whoever thought of the meme probably doesn’t work in tech. A brand-new AI datacenter is not going to be left unguarded. Doubly so if there’s government data being stored within it.

Either way, somebody pays Apple $10} a year. After paying them the equivalent of a kidney for the hardware. No thanks.

It’s not. They both expose a POSIX API and userspace, but the underlying architecture is very different. macOS is in part based on the Mach microkernel, and creating a process has a bunch of work related to that.
Even ignoring that difference, macOS has built-in signature checking that suspends a newly-started process the first time its executable is seen.

Good luck convincing tankies with that definition. They will just claim the definition doesn’t count because “the UN is a Western imperialist facade pushing US propaganda.” The same goes for any source that doesn’t agree with their ideals, for that matter.

Anyone following the thread can see that the “accusation” being referred to is China being imperialist.

- Comment on How would you actually tax the ultra wealthy? 1 month ago:
Most people with that little money aren’t going to going out of their way and assume the risk of directly investing in new ventures. They’re going to put it in some managed or unmanaged fund, and that money is going to be invested in something safe and presumably profitable, like a megacorp that’s too big to fail.

- Comment on Lutris now being built with Claude AI, developer decides to hide it after backlash 1 month ago:
It’s the same for me.
I don’t care if somebody uses Claude or Copilot if they take ownership and responsibility over the code it generates. If they ask AI to add a feature and it creates code that doesn’t fit within the project guidelines, that’s fine as long as they actually clean it up.
I’m more concerned with the admitted OpenClaw usage. That’s a hydrogen bomb heading straight for a fireworks factory.
This is the problem I have with it too. Using something that vulnerable to prompt injection to not only write code but commit it as well shows a complete lack of care for bare minimum security practices.
- Comment on SBA #54 1 month ago:
They put out an engine that offers unoptimized shortcuts for traditional development techniques, replacing LODs with Nanite and introducing Lumen as a low-effort way to produce “realistic” lighting.
Both of those fall short of acceptable performance and visual stability quality during real-time rendering, but who cares about that when they make development faster and do a good enough job make for prerendered trailers? /s

- Comment on Remedy's new CEO is a former sports betting guy and EA executive who aims to 'scale Remedy in a way that builds lasting value' 2 months ago:
"Art isn’t about artistic expression. Billions of people make paintings and most of them go unseen. Museums, on the other hand… They don’t make paintings, they make experiences. For a nominal entry fee, consumers have access to an evolving and ever-changing catalog of content.
This is the future we envision here at Remedy. High quality games that build upon themselves, creating an experience that grows with the player. For that reason, we’re announcing that the Alan Wake series will no longer be individual games, but instead a live-service experience with episodic content."

For localization, would -kun work? It wouldn’t be a correct translation, but the idea is that the average citizen is conditioned into having that of closeness and familiarity with Big Brother might make for an interesting take on it.

Is it? Or is it just a way to record which employees need mandatory cybersecurity “training” that tells them to use a 28 character password with at least one number, one upper case letter, one special character, no strings of 3 or more repeated characters, no strings of 3 or more incremental letters or numbers, and no strings of more than 5 of the same character class?

No, no. It makes perfect sense from an investment standpoint. Their actual target audience would love to be able to pay for access to that catalog.

Company profiting from allowing pedos to groom children enacts steps to prevent pedos from grooming children? Like that’s going to happen.
Whatever solution they come up with, I can guarantee that it “accidentally” has a loophole in it.

Yeah, they’re are. I used sbctl to enroll and manage my own keys, and I chose to include the MS ones to ensure dual booting still worked properly.
Because of that hard-bricking motherboard problem, choosing to not include the MS keys is actually more effort due it being gated behind a flag and a mountain of warnings.

these games only accept the secure boot setup where the root key is that of microsoft’s.
I have a PC where I could actually test this. Do you know if it would immediately reject the game from launching, or would I be flagged and banned in some kind of ban wave?
The latter is something I would prefer to avoid
