Imagining a modern breaking bad remake where Walter goes to jail because Saul was rusty with his copyright law knowledge

mum boiling slop in the slop cauldron

I stole this from the other thread

A kernel, in computing terms, is the computer program that sits between applications and the hardware, facilitating their interactions.

This is the GNU/Linux operating system’s kernel (the part that is technically Linux) showing its architecture.

The columns represent the areas of functionality the kernel offers, the rows (from top to bottom) representing the level of abstraction from the hardware.

From the top; user space, where users barely have to think about the hardware enabling their applications. To the bottom; the hardware itself and the interfaces that enable the kernel to talk to them.

The lines represent the relationships between the various Linux kernel functions and structures - the text - that interact with one another directly.

The diagram is interactive in the sense that you can click the functions/structures and be taken to relevant resources to help a Linux kernel developer navigate the humongous amount of code that comprises the kernel, to accelerate debugging etc.

This diagram has been continuously developed for well over 15 years at this point and is somewhat iconic in the Linux world as it makes tangible the kernel and its thousands upon thousands of lines of code which I doubt any one developer has or could read and comprehend as a whole without the use of tools like this map.

It’s mostly on the right, so it can’t be too hard to pin down

But have you considered the fediverse?

Also, we’re neglecting to mention the fediverse as well as the fediverse

Why did my walls and floorboards start speaking Turkish to each other after reading this

whoever runs the channel will singlehandedly cause a worldwide antidepressant shortage

“Please don’t tell anyone I showed you my penis, I’ll give you $250k”

From my experience and expertise, Ambien. Man’s gonna get a knock on the door from the walrus any second now.

There’s a lot of things that are like “duh”, but it’s good that someone writes it down so someone else later down the line will have a harder time saying “um acktually video games cause stress and anxiety, not the lower wages and hotter summers” and get a fat cheque from the Heritage Foundation.

I have not; although I have been warned that it’s not at all what it appears to be

I have heard similar, more specific details about themes of the game. I’m going to put it off until I’m in a better place, mentally. I don’t know if what I heard was true, but I don’t want to risk finding out more, because it is so highly regarded and I want to play it eventually, also I love entertainment where “it’s best going into it blind”

IT AGAIN NOW

I like to make an exception for Lemmy though. This fediverse decentralised “”“darkweb-lite”“” stuff is cool af

Gives me child-like excitement

you don’t owe anyone instant access to your attention at an arbitrary time of day

Do you think he wanted to do this last time but ousted everyone who told him that’s fucking psychotically stupid?

In South Africa, where I live, everyone is assigned an ID Number at Birth. You need an ID number, thumbprint scan AND proof of address to get issued a SIM card number due to a law introduced called RICA. It was meant to help fight crime. Worried that the government could listen in to calls or read their SMSs, the criminals just switched to WhatsApp, which also happened to become cheaper than SMSs and gained popularity in this time.

The cops never seemed to crack WhatsApp. The only drug busts that happen are when an open secret becomes laughably too open and when they harass every person arriving from South America at O.R. Tambo international airport just to catch the decoy mules carrying 12g of cocaine (total). Every dealer I ever organised with was over WhatsApp.

So now, woopsi, RICA stopped nothing and just became a liability. That treasure trove of fragile data made its way to scammers and spammers. A total net negative.

I’d encourage everyone else in other countries to apply major pushback to any government proposals in this direction.

are you under 16

no

ok cool here’s a youtube short when an AI voice tells you an AI-written story over vaguely related stock footage

The planet is fucking melting and elected leaders are writing laws on herding cats

I’ve been using the internet for longer than I’ve been an adult.

I still sometimes add +10 years to date of birth fields out of habit.

Might as well have issued a mandate to nom a spoonful of sand daily.

I wish msoffice would just die a miserable death

Word is a pain in the ass. Resize a table column by 1px and the rest of the document gets absolutely fucked

Excel suffers from similarly frustrating UI issues, but my main problem with it is that it’s being used for things that it was never intended to be used for. On the extreme side, a company will shove all their HR info into one xlsx file and then someone will accidentally, somehow unrecoverably, delete it

More commonly, I’ve had to use it as a progress tracking/ticketing tool. An entire team adding rows, deleting rows, accidentally clearing formulas, highlighting random fucking cells, resizing columns etc. all at the same time. It’s just hell.

Sure whatever

Will they stop dropping bombs on civilians in Gaza now?
