Small counterpoint: I'm 42 years old, and I would have to look at my resume to see what year I graduated college. By time I graduated I was already working full time, had a contracting company on the side, and had a family. College was just a thing that was happening, another job, it wasn't a huge life-defining event. I remember the people I met and the projects I worked on, but there's no way I'd be able to accurately tell you the exact year it was over. (I just checked the resume, I was off by 2. Yikers.)

There you go, now you've met one!

Chezmoi is what you want.

I haven't looked at this one yet, but until someone compares it to Chezmoi and points out where it's better I'm not even looking attention I fear. Chezmoi is just that good.

Does iOS not have spam blocking in the SMS app? It all goes straight to the spam folder in Google Messages, haven't seen a spam SMS in years.

The problem is that I WANT to give an app access to everything. I don't want my OS to think of "photos" vs "documents". I want a filesystem, and I want apps to be able to share access to it.

Google and apple are the ones "not respecting the users" by focusing exclusively on lowest common denominator users and pushing to increase their monopoly controls.

The day Android stops letting Syncthing have access to my entire filesystem is the day Android becomes entirely useless to me.

I agree that this access is indeed exploited by Facebook and the like, but the solution simply can't be to remove the capability entirely.

I'm honestly curious: you think people didn't vote for Harris because she was a black woman? What would you estimate the split is between people for whom that is their legitimate reason, and people who just found her to be a bad candidate?

Also curious: you use celebrity endorsements as a goalpost for what should make people care enough to vote. Why? Given the wacky things they often get up to I'd almost see their endorsement as a negative.

They did? I've not heard of that, and a cursory search isn't finding anything. Got any more info on this, which rocket, etc? I'd love to learn about that.

Definitely agree. I haven't played in some years, but when I did Apex Legends netcode was atrocious. They were clearly putting most of the workload onto the client, rather than letting the server arbitrate.

I think you've nailed the reason why these rootkits keep getting added, but I feel like there must be something else these game companies want... Why do they keep adding it to single player games for example?

They HAVE to be assumed to be hostile bad actors. I definitely hope valve stands their ground on this one.

The second stage failed it's de-orbit disposal burn. This second stage isn't even going to be doing one since it's carrying the payload out beyond earth orbit.

NASA and the FAA were pretty clear on this actually, they don't see any risk due to that previous failure, falcon 2nd stages haven't had any problems with their primary burn in a long time.

I wish... Live is the only reason I have a windows partition anymore. I just can't quite get it to work in wine/emulation...

When I'm forced to upgrade to windows 11 I simply won't have Live anymore, because I won't be doing that, and so I haven't purchased the latest version and am starting to experiment with the alternatives. Makes me sad though, it'd be so great to have on Linux.

The ThinkPhone has the shake gestures still. Boggles my mind why not every moto phone has them.

Because they assume you've set [email protected] to be filtered directly to spam, and they can easily evade those filters by removing the ±spam part.

Big companies do this. I have signed up for things using a +filter email address, only to receive the emails from that company that is signed up to get at my plane address, without the +filter part.
