kbal, to linux in Is DNS Bloat too?

My lawyers will argue that this willful infringement of my rights as the orignal author of the famous 1997 Internet comment "So true" means that you now owe me $4000000 in damages, but I'll settle for one bitcoin.

kbal, to privacy in Paris Olympics Host a New Event: Algorithmic Video Surveillance

I for one will be ready to do my civic duty and walk around randomly making stabbing and punching gestures (aimed at friends who've agreed to it) while holding a banana or some other vegetable that might more closely resemble a knife, should such a system ever threaten this part of the world. After all, I have nothing to hide.

kbal, to linux in Does Wayland really break everything? (Nate Graham's OG post ref'd in the Phoronix article)
@kbal@fedia.io avatar

Many of those things you're thinking of were declared Somebody Else's Problem by said developers. That's fine, but Wayland was not ready for use by normal end users until somebody else did finish them.

From what I hear most of them actually are finished by now, but they weren't as of a couple years ago when it started becoming commonplace to see declarations that the time to switch to Wayland was Right Now. I tried it out then, and am as a result much less enthusiastic about doing it again now even though it'd be much more likely to go well.

kbal, to privacy in [Discussion] How do you feel about age verification on Porn sites?
@kbal@fedia.io avatar

Snake oil salesmen never had it so good. Without the layers of abstraction provided by computers, nobody would've believed their magic elixirs would protect children from getting interested in sex until their parents approved of it.

    As people have said in some of the many, many other threads on this subject, if they really wanted to copy someone else's style of full-screen error message they'd have done much better to go with "Guru Meditation"

    kbal, to risa in You grew up in Minsk, Worf. Did you never go outside?
    @kbal@fedia.io avatar

    By the mid 23rd century most cats had chosen to return to their home planet.

    kbal, to linux in The Distro Wars are good actually.?
    @kbal@fedia.io avatar

    The only way to avoid having disagreements about which choice of distro is best would be to avoid having any choices.

    kbal, to risa in what did you expect?
    @kbal@fedia.io avatar

    There seems to have been some mistake. I was expecting the Bajoran inquisition.

    kbal, to lemmyshitpost in Air: Where did that bring you? Back to me.
    @kbal@fedia.io avatar

    Sure, but if you can find an air-cooled VW bus that's still running in this decade they're probably asking $30k for it.

    kbal, to news in Elon Musk says Ireland's Leo Varadkar 'hates Irish people'
    @kbal@fedia.io avatar

    Yes but what did Tucker Carlson, Alex Jones, and Ben Shapiro have to say about it? What about David Duke? Was he unavailable for comment? You can't just go to Elon all the time, let's get some diversity of opinion in there.

    kbal, to piracy in How to install Skyrim
    @kbal@fedia.io avatar

    I've had issues running stuff even on debian. Too often the people packaging things just assume you're using Windows to run your Windows executables like some kind of noob.

    kbal, to piracy in How to install Skyrim
    @kbal@fedia.io avatar

    I have a dim memory of hearing somewhere that you need to run SkyrimSELauncher.exe first at least once to create .ini files and such.

    I was going to suggest you just spend the $6 or whatever to buy the game on Steam, but apparently they're asking $53 for it now. What the fuck Bethesda. Maybe they had to raise the price to stop it selling more than Starfield. Anyway, good luck.
