Can the propaganda have more pixels next time please and thank you, how am I meant to understand the wishes of glorious leader if I can’t even make out the words?

Been seeing whoosh creep in here and I downvote where I see it. It’s not funny, it’s just annoying

It referenced this btw, which does have the details you’re looking for. Not sure if it updated.

I retook 6 classes and finished 2 years late. I’m regarded by my colleagues as a good person to work with and they think I’m good at what I do.

Don’t let school define you, some people excel, others don’t. Also, working for money is completely different than intrinsically motivating yourself to complete assignments.

I had mental health issues that I probably should have dealt with. If you feel like you’re struggling, talk to a counsellor or a therapist, mostly because the college or uni has to listen when they say you’re struggling. Also because they can look without judgement and tell you what you might be doing wrong with motivation and study habits. For me, I needed someone to remind me I mattered even if I didn’t do well. That’s just my 2c worth.

Sounds like it’s the platforms that are the issue, not the kids. Would you believe that maybe the corporations havent been acting with ours or our children’s best interests at heart and should, shock horror, be forced into doing that? It’s almost like designing social media to be an ad casino shouldn’t have been allowed.

I’ve got no experience with it but at first glance it seems like a very positive direction for the project:

Collaborate, not Compete

We are proud of our community and closely interact with projects around it. If we build a platform feature that can be useful in an upstream project, we prefer to contribute it to that project, rather than keep it in the platform.

You don’t hear that often enough these days, everyone seems to be siloing information.

I’m referencing this:

Keely told GPT-4 to generate a Python script that compared – diff’ed, basically – the vulnerable and patched portions of code in the vulnerable Erlang/OPT SSH server.

“Without the diff of the patch, GPT would not have come close to being able to write a working proof-of-concept for it,” Keely told The Register.

It wrote a fuzzer before it was told to compare the diff and extrapolate the answer, implying it didn’t know how to get to a solution either.

“So if you give it the neighbourhood of the building with the open door and a photo of the doorway that’s open, then drive it to the neighbourhood when it tries to go to the mall (it’s seen a lot of open doors there), it can trip and fall right before walking through the door.”

The vulnerability is the scary part, not the exploit code. It’s like someone saying they can walk through an open door if they’re told where it is.

Counter point, set the ‘swappiness’ lower than the default 60. I’ve set mine to 30 and the system boots a lot faster. You could research and consider 10-20.

100% agree, that is a “totally for fun” exercise

For added funs run an SSH tarpit to fuck with the attackers, something like endlessh.

Christmas Island is well known for its asylum camps… and nothing else? Stupid is really the only word.

From wikipedia:

Christmas Island’s geographic isolation and history of minimal human disturbance has led to a high level of endemism among its flora and fauna, which is of interest to scientists and naturalists. … As of the 2021 Australian census, the population of Christmas Island is 1,692.

And there’s a town there called “The Settlement”?

Good pick /s

I think he was a shitty husband? From memory he didn’t cope well after one of his sons died in the civil war and took it out in his personal life. He was also horribly depressed. Not that mental health was something people even considered at that time, so it’s not like seeing a therapist was on the cards.

All good, just stating he wasn’t wearing an SS uniform

Uhh so I am pretty sure he mentioned it was a British military uniform, which made him lose it when they put him in the article for being a nazi because they just needed him to look the part.

Not defending anything but he did have receipts stating it was a British military uniform/costume

I’d say the latest star wars movies were shit. It had nothing to do with Rey being a woman or even naturally gifted. Finn, Grumpy Luke, Swolo Ren (other poorly written characters), the writing team and the plot points (a spacecraft the size of a city needs to refuel but a lightsaber that can cut through anything has an infinite energy source) the writing team chose, should all share the blame. If your criticism is levelled at Rey alone, your argument isn’t worth hearing.

I actually have a person in my life complain about this shit with the last Bond movie (I havent watched it, i just heard complaining). Oh and Into the Spiderverse, he disliked spiderman being non-white - even though Peter Parker is in that fucking film. He also uses the phrase woke all the time.

I really don’t value his opinions on these sorts of issues and neither should anyone. He’s got so little in his life and these stories are a powerful escape from the shit he isn’t dealing with. I won’t go into it, not my circus etc.

Basically, he likes to imagine himself as Luke Skywalker and he can’t imagine himself as Rey so she’s woke and bad. It’s a boring way of consuming media and he’s an idiot. He says there’s an agenda but can self identify the agenda is maybe letting the women and coloured people be on screen sometimes. However, they do not look like him so they are bad and the agenda is bad.

They’re not worth listening to.

…? Chrome had 10 critical rce vulnerabilities exploited last year alone… who mentioned Dillo?

Eucalypt scented products are very common in Australia so we tend to get those a lot. Thankfully I love the smell of Eucalypt

This advice feels a lot like something that should be stuck on a wall rather than posted as a comment in a conversational subreddit. It’s kind of like reminding people on posts about alcohol and partying not to drink and drive - unprompted. Reminders like this are great, but setting and context are important, otherwise you drive people away from the conversation.
