520, to piracy in Persona 5 Royal PC

That and Persona 5 has very few differences on Switch Vs PC. Framerate is the main one, but it isn't the kind of game where framerate makes a real difference.

520, to linux in Thoughts on this?

X.Org developers moved to Wayland, they were the ones who made it happen.

But did they bring the same mistakes with them?

Yea, but the nerds that the suits put in charge of security will absolutely recognize this kids skills.

They will also recognise how much of a potential threat he is.

The suits don’t run the security teams at most corpos.

The suits absolutely do run the security teams. Very indirectly, but they do. The suits are the ones security teams have to persuade to get any sort of funding and they can and will veto a hiring decision like this.

You are correct that in most places, the suits do not usually directly intervene. Usually there is a lead guy in the security team that handles the conversations with the suits.

In a well functioning security unit, there is some trust there but not nearly enough to hire a kid like this. A veto is seen as a politically risky manoeuvre for a suit but it would absolutely be pulled for the prospect of hiring this kid, with some frankly compelling justification that any team lead would find nearly impossible to get around.

I've worked in several corporations in several security teams in the past, some amazing, some god-awful with insane suit meddling.

It could be something as simple as needing to feel powerful in their space. That's something a lot of people, autistic or not, can fall prey to, but it is more prevalent in introverts without a wide range of healthy social circles.

Think about it, how ballsy do you have to be to do an attack while in police custody? You pull that off, you're going down as a fucking legend in black hat circles.

Like I get it, the guy's got talent, and he stuck it to the man...

Except what he's actually done is leaked decades of hard work by many talented people that do deserve to see a return on their efforts.

You can point to wages and working conditions but shit like this don't solve those problems

520, (edited ) to piracy in I absolutely love VideoLAN's stance regarding patents

And that's fine. VLC does their own implementation of codecs so that's not an issue. It's the patents that make it an issue.

520, (edited ) to linux in Looking to switch to Linux in the somewhat distant future

The default UX used in Ubuntu may actually be confusing for newbies, as it’s quite different compared to Windows.

It's not that different, dude, and it's not like they don't give you a tutorial on first boot either.

Perhaps a distro which uses KDE, XFCE, Cinnamon, MATE or LXQt by default.

Gauge your audience dude. A Linux newbie will not know wtf anything you just named is. (For any other newbies reading, these are all 'desktop environments' - essentially collections of programs that make up a user interface)

520, to gaming in I remember getting a PS3 just to avoid this back then

If I had it my way this is exactly how it would work.

Alas, even non-Valve PC games are moving away from that model unfortunately.

520, (edited ) to asklemmy in Best way to go about getting CompTIA certifications?

My advice?

Keep an eye out for when they do beta tests of exams. You'll get the cert for dirt cheap if you pass - we're talking £50.

There are two catches. The first is that some of the materials won't be covered in the existing books - the point of these is to update the contents. They do tell you the basic tech that will be covered though. If you have a solid understanding of them, you'll be fine.

The second is that you will be waiting MONTHS to get your result. I believe they wait until the exam you tested goes hold before giving you the cert. Last time, I waited something stupid like 6 months.

520, to linux in One single partition for Linux versus using a partition table?

You can use a swap file in your main partition, but most installers won't set this up for you. You'll want to follow this guide after installation: https://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/linux-add-a-swap-file-howto/

So, the way I did it, I used Librespot as a base and modified the code. It was a good introduction to Rust.

520, to piracy in Piracy is Preservation

Our mistakes as a culture absolutely need to be preserved in order to prevent history from repeating itself long after the people making said mistakes have passed on.

Not every part of preservation should be a celebration of the past. It is as vitally important that we learn the things we did wrong as well as right.

Just do what WB did and add a slide saying that these were products of their time and that we know better today.

520, to privacyguides in Google forced to reveal users' search histories in Colorado court ruling

Only because those are the phones most consistently open to modification

520, to privacyguides in Inside the deadly instant loan app scam that blackmails with nudes

Like I just pointed out, 'something embarrassing' can have much dire consequences when put in the wrong hands.

It only has to go to someone with no chill and they will make the problems. The place they live in might be chill, but that doesn't mean there will be zero consequences.

Even if it did have a Nazi problem, how the bloody hell would it justify Russia's war crimes?
