If it's not in your power to resolve an issue with your machine by the end of the work day, you should feel no pressure to stay late and fix it.

So you've verified the person in the screenshot saying they've arranged for bombs to be planted has been banned?

> How so? That seems pretty dubious to me

With an electron app, I have access to your file system and can start deleting things. Yes, some operating systems might gate access but it's not standard or granular enough.

While the file system api in browsers requires your approval.

Threads like these are why I don't pay attention to HN anymore.

Hmm, I suppose that could work, didn't think about targeting the Pipewire api.

I didn't play around with it much, but the controller did appear as a 5.1 (or was it 7.1?) in Linux.

Oh, and I forgot, the controller itself also has a headphone jack. The controller itself can take 3 audio streams, two of which can be used for sound.

I was playing Spider-Man with a dual sense and got wondering. That game puts out audio to your speakers, a separate audio stream to the speaker in the controller, and _another_ stream of audio for the haptics. Is this any bit possible with any Linux audio solution?

So if I was heading a project and we had one CI provider and someone suggested adding another, my response would be either "no", or try to have the benefits of this alternative service explained to me. And if it is better, would only accept the new one if we converted all old pipelines over to it. Is that wrong?

curl has 7???? I would love to understand why. The article has "reasons", but not many justifications. Load balancing is understandable. "not all eggs in the same basket" less so to me. Are they running identical suites on multiple providers? If so, what's the plan when one suite fails on one but works on another?

Just seems mad to me. "If this is stuff you like to tinker with, we could use your help" best of luck with that!

So we've reinvented mall food courts without the foot traffic. Kudos, technology.
