In all cases, they forgot to bleach the eyebrows.

adespoton, to news in Jerusalem Catholic Patriarch offers to be exchanged for Gaza hostages

If he’s really ready to go through with it, it’s not an empty offer?

And he’s willing to exchange places with the knowledge that it may result in his death. That’s more than the majority of people in this community would likely do.

Brave had a workforce? I thought it was one guy’s pet chromium/blockchain project….

adespoton, to piracy in Naming Torrents

“\ “ and [tab] and * are your friends. I’ve been using spaces in Unix filesystems since the early 90s with no issues. Also, using terminal fonts that•put•a•faint•dot•in•each•space•character helps.

Well… that was… expected.

adespoton, to news in a massive raid of Geraniums has begun on Ukraine

Was something lost in translation? What is a “raid of geraniums?” I presume we’re not talking about Russia stealing Ukraine’s flowers?

adespoton, to privacyguides in What are some good private email service?

It’s sad to me that the answer can’t be “the one you run yourself.”

There’s theoretically no reason why everyone couldn’t run their own mail service who had a domain name. But with spam practices being what they are, self-hosted mail will get binned in most places.

Finally found the answer:

Artists have to submit the recording, artwork and metadata to create Art Tracks,” a YouTube spokesperson wrote in an email statement to Bellingcat.

So they say “auto generated” because the submitter submits an audio track, an image and metadata, and YouTube sticks them together for the user.

There’s no CC track included, no parsing of the Hindi lyrics, no generation or parsing of the images. So at that point, YouTube is really assembling the video track, not generating it.

And Bellingcat is attempting to capitalize on the phrasing to concern troll.

They’ll know which adults visit porn sites without a VPN anyway.

Me too… and my phone uses an eSIM!

adespoton, to piracy in How do companies know if I use cracked software or assets for my personal gig?

Can’t do that off the top of my head, but this law firm probably could: adobeaudits.com/adobe-audit-faq/

adespoton, to memes in I've unfortunately made this mistake at Costco of all places.

Just wait until he discovers the store no longer provides bags….

adespoton, to privacyguides in What do you think about MX Linux

I’m drawing a blank on it… makes me think of MK Linux, AKA MicroKernel Linux from the 90s, but I’m pretty sure they’re not related if this is Debian-based.

How can someone not know how to use Debian though? It was a pain when 1.0 was released, but these days installs just as easily as Mint….
