Imagine being this arrogant

I think it’s referring to the “you can’t block ads on YT or we might ban you” popups you get on YT occasionally, if you’re using an adblocker. I have only had it happen once or twice before I did a quick online search and found an extra filter or two to add to uBlock Origin, and then I stopped seeing them.

I don’t really see the things he did and said (he didn’t AFAIK actually make that fiverr order btw) as taking “a fascist turn”. Not excusing him using slurs on stream or his weird dogwhistles to fascists during that period, though, he certainly did and said things he should not have. But I think there’s a difference between farming edgy meme culture, in an insensitive way, for views, and actually espousing fascist views and trying to convert people to them. I might be missing something, and I’m under no illusion that the guy is some perfectly kind and humble person, but I think he’s more than made up for his prior mistakes as a public figure, with what he’s doing as a public figure now. It’s quite clear he’s no longer in the cancerous influencer rat race, and hasn’t been for some time.

Isn’t that sort of an issue with LibreOffice today though? At least in the sense that there are features in for example Microsoft Word where, if you use them in a document, and then open that document in LibreOffice Writer, it won’t render correctly/won’t function? I struggle to give you an example because it was a along time since I tried to do that, but I have definitely run into some compatibility issues there, on the side of LibreOffice. Maybe you’re referring to something else though?

Edit: Nvm, I’m mixing up OnlyOffice with OpenOffice. Never used OpenOffice, don’t even know what it is.

Tbf I haven’t used either extensively (or at least the features I’ve used in either have been very basic one), but I haven’t had any issues with OpenOffice. What are some of the issues you’re referring to in OpenOffice? Personally I tend to prefer it because I just think it looks nicer, but clearly there are some issues with it I’m unaware of.

Edit: Nvm, I’m mixing up OnlyOffice and OpenOffice. Never even heard of OpenOffice before…

What do you mean by conposable in this context?

I liked it a lot. Watched the longer version of the movie. I’ve heard the theatrical cut was not as good though.

Thanks for sharing!

Huh, I thought Alpine was mainly just used for Kubernetes pods and different container images. Do you actually use Alpine as a daily driver? How is it? I’m still quite new to using Linux as a desktop, so I haven’t considered it for that.

See what I’m still not getting though, is how there can still be unmapped or retired areas, if the drive has been filled with (meaningless) data? Let’s say it isn’t all zeros, but random data instead. Are there more physical blocks than is represented logically by the adress space exposed to the OS?

But if I fill a drive with nonsense data, whether SSD or HDD, shouldn’t it be forced to write such data to all possible locations, thus overwriting the original data? Is am I misunderstanding something more fundamental about how this type of storage works?

I have been trying to understand what it is that makes it impossible to reliably wipe an SSD, compared to an HDD. Why wouldn’t filling the drive with 0s work?

Never had a problem with the se-xxxx-wg-xxxx servers. Can view directly from Sync.

Maybe I’m getting things backwards here, but wouldn’t disabling cookie persistence actually stop some of the more malicious forms of tracking, where different websites track your activity across websites? I’m not an expert on this specific matter but my understanding was that website A saves a cookie in your browser, which website B then uses to identify you (maybe with some extra steps of shipping that data off to some data broker or w/e but you get the picture). I thought that disabling persistence would stop that from occurring in the sense that once your restart your browser and go to website B, there is nothing from A for them to look at.

I work as a software developer. My team mate once said he was a “mouse and click kinda guy” when asked why he didn’t use the terminal for git.

That’s a very good idea. Might wanna keep an additional yearly one too though, in case you don’t use the computer actively for a while and realize you have to go back more than a month at some point.

I also work in IT, but tbf that sounds a lot more exciting than the projects I work on.

I have a hard time seeing that happening at my workplace, but I see how it can be significant for jobs like medical staff, security, etc.

This is how it is at my current job in Denmark. Never experienced it before working in Denmark.

I agree with that, it’s important to consider what’s being advertised and in what way.
