Myeahno. To hell with draconian law disguised as child protection and to hell with the powers that be, who knowingly and willingly are ruining just about everything nice.

Nah, just add your own directories to storage. I've always done it that way and it works just fine.

You can add directories to the storage, including ones in your home directory. Generic is actually the default option, all you have to do is to disable auto-detection.

It's fine to run qemu directly, but virt-manager ain't bad.

Looks like slop to me. It even lists the DNT header as part of your fingerprint. It must've been obsolete for over a decade by now.

I started by looking at the dependencies.

Then I lost count, so I ran wc -l Cargo.lock

   1467 Cargo.lock
Easily over a thousand dependencies. And "rewritten in Rust" is supposed to be a good thing? I bet this doesn't even compile faster than the original.

Right. It says select tiles with cars, bikes or buses and I fail because I recognized one far away. Traffic lights and stairs, if a tile has just a tiny bit of the thing, does that count? I don't think they train on this, they've got their answers and they just want people to feel dumb, I guess.

Agreed. I installed the NoPow add-on and that worked (in Firefox).

Rumours of Linux being rewritten in Rust are greatly exaggerated.

When more code is written, more bugs are written.

Or, if the act of debugging is removing the bugs from software, then the act of programming is to put the bugs in the software.

Probably yes it does. Not that it matters when you hack a website to have some expensive jewelry sent to your home address.

I see, this would've been totally rad in 1994:

I, for one, wouldn't care if Kanye West or his aunt or her neigbours dog came up with a good encryption algo. If it's good, it's good no matter who wrote it. Appeals to authority or the lack thereof draws attention away from the technical debate.

Authenticated for shared files and printers. The pipe itself doesn't authenticate much, but the built-in network server does.

Of course, you can use pretty much any OS as a bootstrap loader for pretty much anything. There has been a loadlin.exe for example, it would load and run a Linux kernel. A gratis variant of BeOS also loaded from DOS iirc.

It just occurred to me that there shouldn't be any cronjobs / scheduled tasks or a disabled cron daemon / task scheduler in the virtual machines. That's because when the vm wakes up an ever increasing number of days later, it could run all sorts of scheduled maintenance jobs.

...But you guys knew that already ^^

People are afraid for the singularity. Can't blame them, hollywood has been milking that hypothesis for decades.
