He's talking about the layout & styles, not literally verbatim copy for copy of the 4 images. Shadcn is an open-source collection of reusable UI components for building modern web applications.

You also can't fully trust org members because valid / "Trusted" accounts can be taken over by nefarious actors as well.

I've used `sops` "manually" before and I'm interested. What is your workflow? I'm assuming you set certain directories to have access to the sops key you're storing somewhere else to be able to encrypt/dec

Thanks for the reply, thats good to know! Incidentally, those emails are definitely from less-than-reputable (and in some proven cases North Korean) actors trying to get footholds into Western Companies! Crazy!

Have you noticed decreases over time by sending thigns to the "Learn Spam" folder? I'm a relatively new Fastmail customer - I setup a domain for some family accounts that I can manage on behalf of my aging family members so i

Similar plot thread might be the current use-case of "anonymous entities" betting on Polymarket for things that are happening in the real world to generate/launder money.

I'll have to try clicking and dragging images onto the Signal application and see if I notice any difference. I usually actually click the button to add an attachment and then browse to it. I'm also on Win11 but I would hope the e

No[1], but that wasn't what I was trying to get clarification on, or disputing for that matter. 1 - https://support.signal.org/hc/en-us/articles/360008216551-In...

That makes sense! I was a kid in the early 90s so I enjoyed "default" Win95/98 without having to have needed to do any sort of fiddling. I was too young to have used earlier versions of that outside of once or twice.

I agree. I also think that not everyone (I couldn't say if this is generational, I see this among peers sometimes too) has the same appetite for problem solving. People hit a problem or a wall and say "So I tried X and now I see Y

I'm curious, can you elaborate on why you believe that changing to Gnome meant they were giving up on being the best desktop distro?

I aspire to have your level of confidence in anything that amounts to leaving unsaved work in any sort of shape or form.

Out of curiosity, back when you were compiling the kernel yourself was it because you wanted to learn it or because you wanted to add more modules to the kernel that didnt exist there by default?

Absolutely. I would also think that the amount of money "lost" on license keys specifically on the "regular consumer" side pales in comparison to the data that they get once you're on their operating system. How man

Agreed. I know in some circles it's a meme, but if the Steam Gaming Console actually makes a debut any time soon, I think we'll see more of a jump from the "Gamer" crowd away from Windows. My (some say naive) hope is tha

Not that this is going to matter to you because you've left Windows behind, but I refuse to buy License Keys any more and I try to steer people away from buying "Gray Keys" to avoid the ridiculous costs. Using the MS Activati

It doesnt seem to be covered by the paywall, unless I'm undercaffeinated, what software specifically was being updated and how it went wrong.

This is my question. Foreign athletes typically enter the U.S. on a P-1A visa for internationally recognized athletes or an O-1 visa for those with "extraordinary ability" but they're still Visas. Maybe they'll carve out

That doesn't really resonate with me because you could make that argument about anything, _especially since_ most of the items that are posted here are links to other websites. There's no need to talk about it here - you could jus
