It’s worse than you thought. They’re the same company.

I went through your comment history and I think you pass the vibe check, as in, there’s no reason someone should down vote by default. I think something is up but a bot targeting a random account seems weird. Which client do you use?

Are you sure you’re not just on someone’s bad side? Why do you suspect this is bots?

Best track off 2112

It was 5 years and 8 months between the release of Oblivion and Skyrim. Oblivion was released on March 20, 2006, and Skyrim was released on November 11, 2011.

Veronica Explains brings Ms. Frizzle energy to learning about Linux and other open-source software. If you haven’t seen her videos and want a positive, and begginer-friendly discussion of computing topics, take a look. She’s really great.

I saw a Canadian Goose exhibit at the Prague zoo and almost died laughing.

Oh for sure. I updated the post based on your suggestion and a second look here allaboutbird.org link. Thank you

Yes… But would it have been more clear to type out “Linux Operating System”

Edit: fixed Linux

I specifically didn’t list Tux as “Linux” because I thougt that would get me in trouble in this community

The software pictured are:

1. graphene os
2. new pipe
3. Signal
4. MPV
5. libre wolf
6. KeepassXC
7. Aurora Store
8. fdroid
9. Free Tube
10. tux

Thank you! I really need to check this out

Thank you. Missed that one. My most used app

Thank you. Updated and will look into MPV. I’ve been deep into team VLC

Edit: thank you for those in reply who helped to “annotate” this meme

Thats awesome that you got that working. I was hoping this would be possible the same way feeding a router a wireguard config is possible

Edit: I’m going to try this at some point in the next few months https://docs.gl-inet.com/router/en/4/interface_guide/tailscale/

To OP’s point, this guy DOES sound pretentious in a very writerly way. However, I felt just like him on my first cruise not too long ago. I reluctantly went with my girlfriend so I didn’t have to “make friends”… but the excess, the hard-working and undervalued employees, and the crowds were just as poignant obvious. The food was fine but not special, a point of disappointment after hearing so much about how great cruise food was. This was very late in the pandemic but the ship was all the way full and the price could have bought us a nicer trip by way of premium economy airline and 4-star hotel. I was one of maybe two or three people i ever saw wearing a mask. Still got covid. My hope is that I never have to go on another cruise.

Setting up Tailscale on a router is what I’m hoping to accomplish eventually. I want to use my home as an exit node so I can have my home ip while traveling without having a client on my traveling devices.

1. Some people have mentioned it already but turning human-readable code to machine code is like turning a precise cake recipe into a cake. A decent baker can do it. Any developer can compile existing code. Going from a baked cake to a precise recipe requires a chemistry lab and a team of highly-trained scientists. Same thing for code. You’ll need a highly-experienced and specialized programmer to turn a program into legible code. Its almost always easier to just rebuild from scratch.

However companies do other things as well.

2. Companies sometimes purposefully compress and obfuscate their code to make it hard to unpack. This happens a lot on the web where a website might have code sent to your machine in a format which could have been legible. But before they send it to you, they run the code through a program which adds extra steps, renames things, and reorders things and removes extra spaces… all to make it hard to read.

3. Some companies will encrypt their code or programs to varying degrees. Some will do it at the storage level, such as DRM or modern disk-based videogames. The data in these games is “locked” behind passwords and keys which can only work if the program “calls home” to Steam or Xbox or whatever and those providers let the game be opened. It’s more complicated than this but that’s the basics.

4. A lot of companies have moved their code “into the cloud”. That means, instead of giving you a full piece of software, you only get the front-end, or the pictures and words you see on screen. The actual program lives on the company’s servers which you don’ have access to. You only get to send those servers inputs, and they return outputs back to your screen.

5. Companies can make their code secret from internal developers by breaking programs up into smaller pieces. Say you’re a developer at Apple. You might be assigned on the specific part of the system which opens apps from the home screen and may only get access to that part of the system so if your development machine gets hacked, the hackers don’t know ALL the inner workings of iOS.

I’m sure there are more ways but this is a start.
