i mean it depends on how you define common, common among the world populous? No, common among fabrication types? Yes.

there are only a few things that are common amongst the whole human population, and none of them are learned skills. (learned as in learned from the ground up, to be able to do that one specific thing I.E. socialization doesn’t count as it’s a fundamental aspect of humanity)

i think there is a fundamental reason why linux is a good operating system. It’s the same reason that vehicles from the 70s and 80s are so beloved, because they’re easy to repair. Hell you could probably rebuild one in your garage, sure you’d need some level of knowledge to do so. But it’s all out there, and very easy to access, and same for the parts.

I think linux is very similar in this regard, part of what makes it so good, is being so familiar with it. Windows doesn’t let you do this, because it doesn’t want you to. Linux does, because you’re supposed to, and i would argue that telling people linux is a “turn key” solution is rather irresponsible when inevitably, they’ll want to do something weird or have to fix a weird problem which will require them to go digging around somewhere.

I also don’t think the basic concepts of linux are all that complicated, two weeks and a vm to install arch and you’ve got most of the foundational concepts in your head already.

i see no problem with that. You can’t go learn to weld without putting in lots of effort and time learning.

It’s really just that simple.

because redhat smelly.

Also fedora is hella configured out of the box, which is nice for new users, and a good reason to just use it. But at that point i think you should just use something like debian while figuring out how to properly do the whole linux thing because it’s going to positively benefit you quite a bit.

yeah, matter of opinion i suppose, but personally, if i can’t deholster my pistol and remove the safety in a quick enough time chances are i’m not going to be trained well enough to be able to properly utilize it at that point. It’s all muscle memory at the end of the day, and if you don’t regularly train for it, you can’t use it when it needs to be used.

Likewise to you.

since people are yelling about it.

It’s probably not blatantly bypassing security and privacy features, what it is PROBABLY doing is using the user to bypass them by simply manipulating them to do it.

Social engineering is way easier than whatever bullshit you would need to do to bypass sandboxing and dynamically recompile, or whatever people are claiming, and my guess would be that this is what they’re doing.

If the suit is claiming they are doing what i said, that’s probably legal, and not going anywhere, unless tiktok ban bill 2.0. If the suit is claiming what others are claiming, it’s still probably wrong and probably going to be tiktok ban bill 2.0.

Unfortunately these things aren’t all that exciting at the end of the day.

one of the most obvious ways is to simply not bypass them, and then do it from within the application itself. That way you can essentially man in the middle the rest of it, though this would require a rather specific set of events and a particularly nested design of an app.

i could see it go either way, but i really just don’t think it’s that significant to the point where it matters enough to bother with.

Unless you’re using a competition pistol at a competition or something, in which case you could make the argument situationally and i would understand it, but generally, i’d much rather have a safety on my pistol than not, especially if conceal carrying for example.

The amount of training is kinda-sorta irrelevant. The amount of training you should be putting in is way higher than the amount you need to master the safety. But, the amount of training you need to put in is also high enough that you won’t ever have to rely on the saftey to prevent the gun from firing. So for me, if I can handle the gun without having to rely on a safety, that’s just one less thing that could go wrong and prevent me from firing my gun when I want to.

i guess so but i’d still just argue that you should be training with the safety, such that it’s so second nature to you, it literally wouldn’t matter whether it exists or not.

i suppose so, but psychologically speaking, it’s true.

If you’re in the act of shooting the gun, the saftey routinely gets in the way and requires training in an extra step before firing, something that could be a problem in an emergency. A common way to lose a violent encounter while carrying a gun is to fail to actually shoot your gun.

i have a massive counter for you. If you aren’t trained well enough to be able to disengage the safety when needed.

you probably shouldn’t be using a gun in an act of self defense

in case you haven’t picked up on what im saying you need to train

I don’t think that’s true and I don’t think I want it to be.

it is just true, fear is one of the primal human responses, it’s what kept us from being eaten by fucking lions or some shit.

people do this stuff?

Guess we need to pick up the pace then.

yeah considering i have literal terabytes of youtube content on my jellyfin, i think i’ll probably abstain, unless i do some really dirty automation on it, in which case i might not, because that would be funny.

i definitely wasn’t the one to recommend tdarr, but it seems like a pretty good solution, and rather flexible at that. So there’s that.

yeah that sounds about right. Limiting engines be limited after all

no?

Redistributing them, especially for money, maybe.

you can still be an asshole, and have sympathy for the loss of accessible educational material strictly for the purposes of monetization. Unless you are one of these publishing companies, in which case you probably won’t be on the internet for very long.

IRL. It’s neat but basically a promotional project for RWB.

you could easily stuff a script to rip the books out and stuff them into usable formats pretty easily, minecraft worlds are just a list of files.

Though i haven’t verified this, and i’m not going to so.

i would fuck with public libraries if they had stocks of educational material, as well as communal spaces, which they generally do so.
