If we're going to criticize this, can we discuss reasons for why this reductive method might be faulty?

A lot of remote FTE contracts I've come across not only demand your updated address during the duration of your employment, but also for 3 or so years after.

I think this is the wrong time to be judging remote work. It's being used out of necessity during one of the most stressful and anxious times in this generation's history. Of course people want to get back into the office when the

The problem with this I found for home use is that IoT devices don't typically support enterprise modes. And without PSK you just flat-out can't use those devices with WiFi

Unfortunately paying doesn't alone incentivize data privacy, when those same companies you're paying realize they can also increase profits my monetizing your data or everyone's data in aggregate.

"If you don't ship it you can't sell it." Now tell that to any sales team and they'll tell you to hold their beer. The problem is, now they've sold your vaporware and you _reallly_ need to ship it, now. Like, y

You don't need to root a phone to install a new operating system. What you do likely need to do is unlock the bootloader, if at all possible. If it's supported by LineageOS, use that instead. If not - perhaps consider buying a pho

I wonder what it would take to make an app that does this exact thing and listens in order to hook into whatever and prevent malicious apps from beaconing. Also seems useful in order to see if there are any such ads out in the wild yet.

You may have an extension blocking it. Get the addon compatability plugin.

All along there was an extension called "Developer Edition Theme Enabler" that you could have used :)

You don't. The person that wrote that is mistaken. Hardware video decoding on Linux is not implemented.

Hardware video decoding does not work in linux period. It doesn't matter whether you play an mp4 or vp9 video.

There is some truth to the fact that (if you basically already know dd like I do) then reserving it for dangerous operations is a good way to "signal" to yourself "slow down here and pay attention"

I learned Linux this way a decade and a half ago when it was far (and still is imho!) more convenient to quickly search a man page than google something. (with slow internet start times, browser startup times, etc) Now, sometimes when peopl

So then its probably a pretty good idea to randomize the number keypad for the lock screen, which I do. Does this defeat that, I can't think of a way it does..

Yeah sure, they all steal your personal information. One of the reasons I forbid myself from ever signing something there. I very much want to voice my opinion not to touch my xul addons, but I refuse to subvert my privacy in order to do th

I would absolutely love to dedicate the time to doing this the way I think, and know, it should be done (I taught myself html, javascript, early css when I was 11 because I thought it was fun, like everyone else my age probably... but I r

by xenithorb 14y ago
I agree with you, and I would love to actually have the time to dedicate to such a focus. What ends up happening in reality, however, is the tradeoff between having a roof over your head, and learning. I'm not sure I'm well versed enough ye

I initially did start out with Zed Shaw's book when I got out, but I was inevitably channeled into C++ because that's all colleges teach here. I guess they're a bit behind the power-curve, as always.

I thought there was? I mean, I keep reading about the age bias of hiring someone cheap at 18 or fresh out of college at 23, and that seems like a deathly blow to my success probability. I'm 25 now , so if I continued on the same path I'm o

Thank you for your input. I'm not sure how to get into the Operation side of things, I might have to inquire with a career counselor about that path, if it's an avenue that I can take. I'm aware that my time in is worth something, as I did

I like your support because you gave me some very clear goals to work with. I will consider doing all of them. What I'm struggling with now, since I'm still an lower-division undergrad trying to make my way into a BS program, is do I contin
