Ive been telling people that Trump will pull an Andrew Jackson because in reality the judicial branch of the government has NO enforcement mechanism for their rulings.

They have to hope the executive branch will play by the rules and follow their rulings.

Roberts and his justices gave Trump even more unchecked power when they rule the president cannot be tried for official acts (leaving only impeachment as a means of punishment).

He must not be any sort of history buff because he would know the power of the judicial system is stripped away and becomes a superficial system that is used to punish those in the “out” group when a state turns to fascism or a dictatorship.

Roberts is truly a dipshit and a clown.

And to think this is only going to get worse with each passing year we do nothing about climate change.

In contrast Packt is on the crap end.

I had a similar experience where we had an entire class for Novell Directory Services. The reason our teacher gave for keeping the class in the curriculum? We MAY run into it in the workforce.

When I say buy I should have said renew the same license/support. I get the idea that by supporting Crossover I’m reinforcing Windows dominace, but look at Valve with proton and the Steamdeck. Their success shows that Linux is gaming capable which can get people to try Linux that otherwise would have wrote it off.

Edit: swapped ‘capable’ and ‘gaming’

I buy a license for Crossover every year to support Codeweavers. I know its not much but its what I can do to show my support for such an amazing software (talking about WINE).

It’s great to see they are hiring, but I do hope they arent being rash with these openings. Ive work my fair share of tech companies and some have a culture to open positions because of KPIs and then 6 months to a year later have a massive layoff because they were completely off with their projections so now they have to cut positions which include some of the people hired well before the hiring bananza.

Ya, I’m sure they calculated the ROI for a monthly/yearly subscription vs the Virtual Console purchases and projected that the subscription would be not just larger source of income but also more consistent which “investors” (aka stockholders) will prefer so Nintendo’s stock goes up and to the right.

DNSSEC is a means of authenticating the data receives was not tampered with, such as MITM attacks, thus ensuring data integrity. It uses PKI but it’s not an alternative to DoH or DoT which encrypts the DNS traffic, either over HTTPS or TLS, providing confidentiality.

DNSSEC can be used in conjunction with DoH or DoT to achieve the Security CIA triad - Confidentiality, Integrity, Authenticity.

While this is nice, I do hope they consider making it easier to remove and install a new battery for the next iteration of the steam deck.

To clarify, I mean something similar to phones where the backplate can slide off or preferably a panel, secured by a screw, when removed allows direct access to the battery and allows it to be easily swapped out - similar to many kids toys.

Chief Justice Roberts yelling at Justice Thomas, “Thomas ya really fucked our reputation with all your blatant corruption.”

“Ah fuck em, I think people are only jealous. They can’t be corrupt and get away with it like I can.”, Thomas quips

“You greasy old scumbag! You just gave me the best way we can get the other branches off our ass!” Roberts exclaims.

When they rolled out the beta Microsoft said it wouldn’t be, but they could always change their mind with the general release. Excerpt from a previous Verge article about the beta rollout (https://www.theverge.com/2024/4/12/24128640/microsoft-windows-11-start-menu-ads-app-recommendations):

“This will appear only for Windows Insiders in the Beta Channel in the US and will not apply to commercial devices (devices managed by organizations),” says Microsoft in a blog post.

Unfortunately, this article doesn’t actually quote Microsoft saying it’s rolling out to ALL machines. That bit in the article is from the author.

I can’t wait for the stories about people jailbreaking these AI accounts because they are probably just using the ChatGPT API.

Google is removing the VPN and free shipping (which was only available on some photo orders) to make way for more “in demand features”?

I could understand if this was coming from a smaller company with more limited resources and staff, but that’s not Google by any means.

They really don’t care about the poor reputation the general public has of them regarding shutting down services on a whim.

What’s worse though is they don’t seem to realize that, with the exception of Android and maybe Google Docs, their services/products are easily replaced by competitor offerings.

In my opinion it’s a good thing if Google gets knocked of their high horse and allow competition to flourish in their place.

It [Apple] argued that there is no iMessage version for other operating systems and devices because Apple can’t guarantee user security on those devices

What a load, Apple can’t guarantee security on their own devices!

Ubuntu, specifically the netbook edition.

That little guy struggled with Windows 7 Starter, but it got some pep in it’s step when Linux was installed!

Hey…🖕

I wouldn’t be surprised if Amazon works some accounting magic to make hosting eBooks to look like a more expensive endeavor than printing physical books.

“Your honor it costs us 5x the amount to host, license, and provide eBooks to customers than it costs the publishers to print physical books. Especially now that we’ve implemented AI in the toolchain! AI IS EXPENSIVE!”, Amazon’s Lawyer desperately arguing their case.

Their reputation took a hit after a server breach in 2018.
