tsonfeir, to asklemmy in If zombies are supposed to go after brains, then why do they almost always end up tearing into the abdomen and other parts instead?
@tsonfeir@lemm.ee avatar

The iconic phrase “Brains!” associated with zombies is most famously from the “Return of the Living Dead” series. This horror-comedy franchise, which started with “The Return of the Living Dead” in 1985, diverged from traditional zombie films by featuring undead creatures that specifically vocalized their craving for brains. This particular depiction of zombies was a departure from earlier representations, where zombies typically didn’t speak and were not specifically focused on eating brains.

But if the server side element is just cloud storage, you should be able to supply your own server.

Rambling about Cortana. Saved you a click.

@tsonfeir@lemm.ee avatar

Nope. You’re hosed. Can’t even put Linux on it. Great piece of hardware still, total trash.

We need fewer distros and more focus on things that matter.

I mean, there are pretty standard protocols for most of the cloud services, like S3 API - the defacto.

Hell, sftp is fine for most stuff. They just want your data.

But the developer doesn’t need to provide support if you opt to use your own data storage and the storage itself fails. And

Google would be the one to contact if Google drive has an issue.

Sounds like a honeypot

tsonfeir, to linux in Is it possible to flash a new OS onto an old iPad 2?
@tsonfeir@lemm.ee avatar

Nope. Won’t work. It did back in the day, but nothing will run on it anymore because the OS version required won’t install. I have an iPad 2, I’ve tried.

No doubt, the hardware could run Ubuntu Touch, alas Apple are dicks like that.

I’ll believe any name you say is a real distro at this point.

Here’s me seeing $50 and thinking “for a dress?!” And assuming it was an inflation joke. 😵

tsonfeir, to privacy in Open source keyboard for iOS?
@tsonfeir@lemm.ee avatar

Yes, the binary downloaded from an open source project might be different from the binary compiled on your own computer, even if they are from the same source code. Here are a few reasons why this can happen:

  1. Compiler Differences: Different compilers or different versions of the same compiler can produce binaries with variations in performance and size.
  2. Build Environment: The environment in which the binary is compiled, including the operating system and its version, libraries, and other dependencies, can affect the outcome.
  3. Configuration Options: Most open source projects have various configuration options which can be enabled or disabled during the build process. The pre-compiled binaries might have a different set of configurations compared to what you choose when compiling it yourself.
  4. Optimization Levels: Compilers have different optimization levels and settings. The binary provided by the project may be optimized for general compatibility, while you might compile with optimizations specific to your hardware.
  5. Patches or Modifications: The official binary might include patches or modifications that are not present in the source code you downloaded, especially if it’s from a different branch or a snapshot of the repository at a different time.
  6. Reproducible Builds: Some projects aim for reproducible builds, where the same source code should generate an identical binary, but this is a challenging goal and not all projects achieve it.

Always ensure that you trust the source of any pre-compiled binaries, as they could potentially include malicious code not present in the source.

The same can be said about any binary as well.

tsonfeir, to news in Unions are the strongest in decades. Nearly a million Americans got double-digit raises as a result
@tsonfeir@lemm.ee avatar

Considering cost of living went up 20%, that’s not really covering it. I got a “double digit” raise, but I’m not making 20% more than 2019.
