For most of the article, I was wondering why people cared so much about some random network, they’ll go to the trouble of searching for and writing suggestions about it. People usually aren’t that interested in the network infrastructure at government facilities.
That’s some pretty significant context the writer didn’t even know until informed by a reader.
The permission to do admin things is given by the root user, to your account. So you have to verify your identity by entering your password.
Isn’t that how it is? I though that was analogous to how almost everything worked IRL. Whether withdrawing funds from a bank or engaging government services, you prove your identity as a customer/citizen to get the relevant services. At no point do you login to bank or government computers with full privileges.
More like 5 divided by 0 is infinite.
Doesn’t that guarantee you’ll die of cancer instead? Or gruesome accidents. Or both.
Is it the bug where voyager crashes? My account on discuss.online is crashing voyager webapp and jerboa on android. As much as it’s the fault of the lemmy server code, apps shouldn’t be crashing due to a backend server bug to begin with. It couldn’t even give me an error message before crashing.
I tell people it’s like signing up for a newsletter with your email, except the newsletter is also your social media feed.
What does returning errors mean? I had a main account that I tried migrating away from lemmy.world, only to have it return errors from lemmy.world. I can’t see two thirds of the comments I can from this programming.dev account.
The youth have an innate pressure to follow trends and their peers. They need and crave social acceptance while still lacking the means to be independent and “go their own way”, so it’s not viable to expect younger users to form the bulk of pioneering users of an unproven platform like the fediverse.
Older user will generally be more confident and independent, especially when the craving for social approval is not as powerful as it was in younger users.
Me on both desktop and PC, but I don’t think I’ve had 10 windows open at any one time tbh. Or that any particular DE would perform significantly better if you really needed to work with 10 windows simultaneously. That’s a problem I would fix with additional monitors.
I would also have windows snapped to half screens on the workspaces, so I really only need 5 workspaces. Considering I have a 3 monitor setup at home, I don’t think I’ll have too much of a problem since I can have 6 windows up at once. Still, juggling 10 bloody windows is going to be annoying whether it’s GNOME or not.
Sideloading must always remain available, but I feel like restricting the ability to unlock sideloading might be potentially beneficial. There have been reports of people getting their bank accounts emptied after sideloading some random app and giving it accessibility permissions. Preventing people from granting such permissions on impulse with a more tedious unlocking process could potentially benefit some.
Of course people will disagree. Why should we be inconvenienced for some idiots? It comes down to how willing you are to be inconvenienced for the safety of these people I guess. I already know I’ll probably be downvoted given the tech inclined crowd on lemmy these days, but I personally wouldn’t mind performing an adb command or smth. I won’t have trouble doing it, but retirees won’t be able to give away their retirement funds in less than a minute.
Someone watched an old Bond film.
