I know I will be flagged, and it doesn't add anything of value to the conversation, but: From every single private server WoW player out there, a sincerely Fuck You Blizzard is in place. This sentiment is shared among all of us, and it's been there for decades. Keep shutting us down, more will come.

I wish Adobe adopted Jetbrain's model. You pay for a version of the software. You then keep it forever. Then offer additional stuff like using their AI or some cloud save stuff.

What about https://github.com/cloud-gouv/securix, though?

It changes permissions nicely and it's nice for my Fedora NAS Jellyfin Torrent server management. It comes preinstalled. Everything that I listed would make the software better.

Instead of spreading FUD about a protocol, one could stay in X11. If you don't need fractional scaling, HiDPI, real multi monitor support, mixed refresh rates, HDR, VRR, no tearing, and trust all your apps to not keylog everything, you can keep using any XOrg DE.

PSA: The file browser plugin can't move files (you need to copy, paste, and go back and delete the original file). You can't select multiple files without a keyboard. You can't upload multiple files at the same time. Mobile screen has lots of usability issues, specially with long paths or filenames.

Having this in userdb is not bad per se. We already have a bunch of PII in there.

I am working on getting the sailing Captain license (I started sailing when I was 8), and move my life there. I hate how things work nowadays. I feel like I am a police officer vs my friends/coworkers AI code. And I don't want to do that

One can only hope this trend is big enough to make phone manufacturers bring the 3.5mm jack connector back.

New comment by icar in "Iran's Ayatollah Ali Khamenei is killed in Israeli strike, ending 36-year rule"

icar — Sun, 01 Mar 2026 07:29:02 +0000

In 1953, Iran was a secular and democratic country. They had elected a prime minister who decided to nationalize the oil industry. The US didn't like this and overthrew him. They imposed a brutal monarchical dictatorship. Popular discontent led to the 1979 Islamic Revolution. The ayatollahs, to a large extent, existed because of US interference.

The same is true for all the instability in the Middle East, entirely manufactured by the West.

Action-reaction, cause-effect: You never know how a story will end. And after the 1979 revolution, the CIA and British MI6 provided the ayatollahs with lists of communists to exterminate, which they did. Imperialism always prefers to deal with theocracies rather than communists. https://www.declassifieduk.org/how-britain-helped-irans-isla...

First thing that comes to mind is anti cheat software. Would that be something solved if these objectives are achieved?

> I've since learned that anything heavily regulated like hospitals and banks will have security procedures catering to compliance, not actual security.

I personally came to that conclusion thanks to the GrapheneOS situation regarding device attestation. Insecure devices get full features from some apps because they are certified, although they cite security, while GrapheneOS get half featured apps because it's "insecure" (read, doesn't have the Google certification, but are actually the most secure devices you can get, worldwide)

Thanks, I did not know this existed and I find it awesome. How was the experience using it? I wonder if it's well maintained or if it has any annoying quirks.
