520,

It's the Daily Express, an offshoot of the Daily Mail. They both have ridiculously anti EU slants and have had those for decades

This kid deserves a 7-8 digits salary as a pentester, not prison; plenty of pentesting companies would hire him in a heartbeat.

You're forgetting a vitally important part of being a pentester.

Namely that they need to be trusted not to leak billions of dollars worth of trade secrets.

This kid is a prodigy as a black hat, but he'd be an embarrassment as a pentester.

520,

His career in white hat cybersecurity is shot to fuck. No one will trust him enough after this

520,

An 18 yo isn't gonna get fat stacks of green as a pentester.

The suits that decide salaries have different priorities. Like certs that are out of the price range of a teenager and years of professional experience.

520,

Way to spoil season 1 for me!

The main use case of this is in porting. So if someone wanted to make a native port of their game, this library would make it potentially much easier.

520,

It really did! It's a decent boost to my savings for sure

520,

2023 was the best year for me in a long time. Got a neat promotion and a marry-worthy partner :)

Is there an artist so horrible that no matter how hard you try that you cannot separate their art from them?

Similar to the recent question about artists where you can successfully separate them from their art. Are there any artists who did something so horrible, so despicable, that it has instantly invalidated all art that they have had any part in?

We are talking about a western author broadcasting on a western platform in a western language, often directly in response to other westerners or western ideas of transsexuality. Makes it pretty clear who the target audience and culture is.

520, (edited )

This may come as a shock to you, but a lot of westerners don’t believe in transexuality either.

Hey, we’re talking about one right now!

No, they believe that transsexuals are heathen abominations that should be stripped of all human rights and dignity. There is a difference.

Try to understand your way of life is not the only, or even the best, way of life.

Try to understand that your way of life should not get in the way of others trying to enjoy theirs when it doesn't harm other people.

Yes, but Thailand is not the entire world, nor was it even the target audience of those tweets.

In the west, when you transition to another gender, it is because you want to identify as that gender. Thus when you say shit like 'trans women aren't real women' you're denying the identity of thousands of women worldwide.

520,

Not OP but in theory it shouldn't do, at least not for comics like this.

Parody is considered fair use under US copyright law.

Microsoft Office.

The subscription service is actually alright for businesses, but for retail users there is no compelling reason for it to be a subscription.

520, (edited )

Not exactly. Electricity aside, servers also require maintenance. That requires server admins. Those don't come cheap.

Edit: also network costs. With the requirement of handling high user numbers at stupidly low latency levels, they'll need a seperate internet connection from corp and the data service will also not be cheap.

I feel like the Steam Deck is the best proof of Gabe Newell's quote that "piracy is a service issue."

They could have easily crammed the Steam Deck full of stuff to make it hard to use for piracy - locking down everything, making it usable only to play games you legitimately own, force you to go through who knows what hoops in order to play games on it. That’s what Nintendo or Apple or most other companies do....

520,

It’s built on Linux.

So what? Orbis (the PlayStation OS) is built on FreeBSD, but there's still anti piracy on the PS5.

So no, there’s nothing they could have done to lock it down to prevent piracy.

They could have:

  • locked the machine to SteamOS only
  • allowed only the Steam UI
  • encrypted the SSD using a TPM chip to prevent messing with the OS.
  • disallow applications that expose the underlying UI
  • have an Apple esque signing policy when it comes to system binaries
  • not allow custom shortcuts.
  • much more

Believe me, if they wanted to try, they could have.

520,

Gotta agree with this person, OP.

Don't get me wrong, COVID and Stay-At-Home orders sucked ass, but the Holocaust was on a very different level. Staying hidden was the least of the issues the Jews faced during the Holocaust. They lived each day like that for years knowing that it might be their last.

And for a large number of them, it eventually turned out to be true.

Why do most people refuse to accept that they are wrong

I have come across a lot’s of people like these. like 99% of them. Sometimes it makes me think twice if what i am saying is wrong? What’s wrong with them. Is it so hard to swallow your pride and acknowledge that the other person is speaking facts? When they come to know they are wrong they proceed to insult/make fun of...

520, (edited )

Because people tie their egos to their opinions and beliefs. They see an attack on those as an attack on their person.

We are all like this to certain extents. For example, I am a firm believer of the right of the individual to make their own choices, and believe that attempts to remove a person's right to make choices morally abhorrent.

Oh fuck off. Russia is committing cultural genocide and is constantly bombing civilian targets. Russia thinks nothing of bombing hospitals or other civilian infrastructure. The only reason the Ukrainians are not also being crammed into a strip is because Russia's military hasn't been capable of doing that.

Edit: clarity

520,

The current US prison system is effectively legalised slavery, and is a big reason why US system doesn't do reform and incentives recedivism

520,

Always will be because of the way the two technologies work at a fundamental level.

520,

I think it worked for some early GOT moments too. It showed the monster that Khal Drogo really was, for example

520,

Enterprise security software tends to err much more on the side of caution.

There are plenty of Windows features who's usage will flag because they are also favourite tactics by actual threats, such as Powershell one liners. Bonus if it's in Base64.

520,

That or he's been doing this non-stop for thirty years. You tend to cover a lot of scenarios in that time.

520,

Now imagine said nudes being sent to your mum, your employer, your kids, etc, and the knock-on effect it might have on your life.

That is why they pay.
