You use a console? Noob.... Magnetised needle is where the real productivity is at.

Aww, I never heard of that, shame.

Not a huge amount of room to be different, but not sure I'd expect much more either.

I'm not sure it makes much sense to gender swap, feels like it would be hard without changing the character significantly. Happy to be proven wrong though.

A new character in the same universe would be easier. It's a shame they never spun off Hallie Berry's character, that could have been interesting.

Still a bit open ended. Web browser finger printing is probably going to be quite specific, unless you have a browser that avoids fingerprinting.

There is a trust issue, you need to trust the userland packagers to not build in any additional tracking, but its pretty unlikely that they'll do that given its a tiny project.

Privacy is also multifaceted, and its never going to be as simple as "use this distro". The techniques for online tracking are changing and evolving all the time.

This is a bit of a "how long is a piece of string" question, security is multifaceted.

From what I understand, it uses your phones kernel, so if its out of date or vulnerable, that might be a problem, and you may not be able to fix that.

Conversely, its running inside android, so the android hardening might make it more secure.

What are you specifically concerned about? Firewall? Zero days? Antimalware?

In some ways, it might be best if he lives out his term golfing, because if he gets replaced, things can get far far worse.

Thems fighting words, where else can I spend my centerlink on a bintang singlet?!

Yup, that's how I read the quote as well, but most of the article is banging on about the financials, which makes sense given its a statement to shareholders, but its kinda meaningless for everyone else.

Maybe not anymore, but they had a few orbital rockets:

They definitely had the talent to do so, but realistically they couldn't build one today :(

That quote is very mangled.

"Accountant uses numbers to explain why creative work was bad"

I think it would be much more interesting to hear from the writers/directors/actors on why it was bad.

Initial version will be free, and DRM free, distributed by us and completely open. This will be so we can get feedback from modders and establish some confidence. When the project becomes more structured we will look at future options.

Consider me excited!

 

Hi All. I have been watching a lot of House lately, and just started "Extrodinary Attorney Woo". I am curious to know what you all think of their portrails of Autism. Is it pandering? Representation? Romantisation?

Also see "The Good Doctor", "Atypical", "Love on the spectrum" etc.

 

I have this very weird glitch with Gnome, running on Xorg. I can move my mouse off the right hand edge of the screen, and the entire gnome UI starts to scroll over the the left, giving me a glitchy mess on the right hand side of the screen. The screenshot doesn't really do it justice, because it just became transparent instead, but the transparent region where the terminal is should be off screen.

Hope I have explained that well, has anyone else hit that? I wonder if its due to multiple monitors, or non-aligned monitors?

 

I have just realised that alien.top seems to be mirroring reddit accounts, posts and comments, without labelling them as such. What is the point of this one way mirroring? As soon as users realise, they are going to just leave. There is no point having a discussion with a bot that cannot respond.
