The managers who gave him that access should also be put on trial

I am a hobby photographer, I do post to pixelfed, but I won’t link that account on my CV, however I do maintain a personal gallery on my own domain, it is not indexed by google, I don’t want it shared all over the place, but I have added a link to in on my CV under hobbies.

I just export galleries from digikam, upload them, and add them to a custom page with pure HTML and CSS so it looks nice.

I have had several interviewers bring up my photos and gallery and be quite interesting.

I love that it has zero ads and every page loads immediately. There is zero SQL lookups, zero analytics and once you try it, and then go back to the normal modern web you realize how slow everything is.

I can see three options.

1. Division, this would divide a lot of groups, and cause a lot of internal rifts.
2. Unity, a foreign entity could easily be a powerful unifying force.
3. Biological disaster, either through incompetence or ignorance, we or the aliens don’t practice good biohazard containment, spreading infection throughout our world.

That was my plan, but I haven’t got to it yet.

I’ll have to spin up a VM with Windows, install iTunes and start downloading

I buy the music I want to have track by track on iTunes, I have 800 songs in my library, my thinking is that if I get on hard times, I will at least be able to keep access to my music without any added cost.

Millenial here, I have zero subscriptions, the only thing close to that is that I manually pay for a gift card for Geoguessr once a year.

I do it this way so I don’t forget the cost of the service and should I come onto bad times, it is not something that will automatically renew and keep charging.

I am considering getting a lifetime subscription to Nebula, it is very expensive, but just a single payment that can be budgeted for, and once paid I’ll keep access even through bad times.

I see several US monstrosities every day here in Sweden.

They are absolutely terrible.

It should be illegal to sell cars with a bonnet that is taller than the roof of a normal WV Golf class car.

Swede here, a doctors vist costs 300sek, though any public medical cost above 1450sek is 100% covered by the government.

This includes prescriptions, hospital visits, and more.

Back in 2019, I got mycoplasma, I was out of work for 1.5 months and stayed in a hospital for 3 nights, I paid 500sek or so for the hospital stay, this included hot meals and medication.

I got sick pay from the government, and got back all vacation days I burned at work.

Nah, I have enough problems.

However, one of my former classmates and former friend, has fallen completely off the deep end.

She has been to prison for stalking, harassing and making other people’s lives hell.

Aparantly bith her mom and dad helped and supported her with her actions.

There is a long thread about her specifically on the infamous Swedish forum Flashback, this thread documents her escapades which includes, screaming at neighbors, making threatening gestures toward people, seemingly trying to run down people with her car, extremely excessive texting, general obsessive behavior, screaming at homes and offices and more.

She was evicted from her apartment for making her neighbor’s lives hell, so she moved into her mom’s apartment, in the same area, and they have been evicted as well.

Her dad is dead, but used to help/support her in her actions.

I don’t particularly want to risk meeting this person as I don’t want her to latch on to me.

No, I won’t link to the thread.

I saw a Defcon talk about SIM cards a few years ago, really interesting stuff.

Most people treat SIM cards as just an ID to get on a carrier’s network, but they are soo much more.

When SIM cards were developed, they were designed to be the core of your phone, your handset would be just that, handset that would only run the software on the SIM card.

SIM cards are small computers, they have a CPU, RAM and storage, they can run apps on the SIM card itself and only present the UI to the phone.

With my first phones, I remember the contacts being stored on the SIM card itself, it usually took 30-60 sec to load them after a phone restart. But bloody convenient when switching phones, this was way before iCloud and other similar services, and moving your SIM card moved all your contacts as well.

Since SIM cards are controlled by the operator, they can do stuff that might surprise you, they can act as a trusted source for signing/encrypting/storing data, the user does not have direct access to tamper with the chip, so security apps have been developed to run on SIM cards, I don’t know the current status on this, but in countries with limited/older infrastructure, this was used for bank security apps, since the SIM is a locked down system, you can use it to securely store a key, and have the SIM use the key to generate a token, sign requests and even encrypt data, all without the key leaving the SIM.

Here is the talk I mentioned:

AI companies currently operate as huge pump and dump schemes, while hoping to build a dependency on their service by companies and governments.

As a general rule, if a question starts with “Are all”, 95% of the time, the answer is “No”.

Hehe, I ment no disrespect towards you, I just find that to be an excellent expression to explain the importance of testing backups to non tech people.

Repeat after me:

“An untested backup does not exist”

Fucking lol.

Well deserved.

To be fair, I never saw any fire, and when the bus was evacuated, the driver drove on, probably to a garage or so.

I don’t have one as dramatic as yours, but a month ot so ago, I was on the bus to the office, I had my Bose headphones on and was half asleep with closed eyes.

The bus were stopped, and I suddenly noticed an acrid smell, like burning plastic.

I opened my eyes and saw the interior or the bus filled with a haze of smoke.

The doors were open and the last few other passengers were spontaneously evacuating.

So I knew I had to leave and got out in 5 sec.

I love my linnen bedsheets in the summer, expensive as hell, but damn, they have the perfect temp for me.

That is a perfectly valid criticism of the glass theme, I just think it looks better than the old flat icon theme

They are cheaper and easier to make, which sucks as it will take a long time for companies to spend the money/time ):
