Okay serious question, why not just write this down in your notes or something? Why use a language model for it.

The crap part is a lot of niche phones got banned because you need to prove it can call triple zero not by default, so it'll be a real pain, and carriers don't really care.

I was deploying some dotnet app and it broke because the devs baked a config key into the image that was otherwise unset, which enabled it trying to start a SSL endpoint without a cert, thus breaking the app.

Why split the nix into so many VMs instead of just systemd units?

HDR and multidisplay fractional scaling are two things that look better with your eyes that work best on Wayland.

I personally find colour management to work better than x11 lately, but that might not be for everyone.

I use nix, but I assume the same goes for guix, you write a package or run it with something that emulates a FHS (like steam-run, don't mind the name) and hope it works.

Writing a package is not as bad as it sounds, nix and guix have very little difference between "package maintainer" and "user" so most users probably can package software. Normally copying something from nixpkgs or similar will get you most the way there.

There is a large gap between public domain and GPL. For starters if Copilot is emitting GPL code for closed source projects... that's copyright infringement.

Why does it have to be russian? Could be any country, even USA, China. I don't see why this sort of attack is limited to Russia.

The best bit though, it will have a CRN on it. This CRN is the same as your drivers license. (at least in qld)

This means using a Drivers License / Proof of Age card is functionaly equivilant.

"Bureau of Meteorology hacked by foreign spies in massive malware attack, report shows"

Clearly someone has an interest in targeting it - who knows if HTTPS would actually mitigate the risks though. Doubt it would hurt and would not be that difficult. It shows the lack of maintaince in BOM that leads to events like this.

Except Montana, and afaik other places, banned forms of nicotine vaping in response to this. Also the general public seems to think it's related to nicotine, not thc.

What's the state of all the laws brought in against vapes under the pretence that nicotine vaping is causing the outbreak in lung illnesses.
