Uhhhh… no, but protesting is definitely more fun with friends. I keep hitting all 3 of mine up and nobody wants to go.
Honestly whose comment were you trying to reply to? At issue here was the question of why not to call it a “no kings protest” and… fuck it. See you at the next one even remotely close to San Jose.
Tanks for the update 😅
I mean… it probably makes it easier to get the required permits 😔
Word. Wasn’t aware you made the meme. YMMVBC I suppose.
I hear this all the time… but it’s cat by cat. I’ve currently got 3 and one is always down for belly rubs, the other 2 have to be in the mood.
I’m with you… but the article does link the following court document: Document Linked in Article Which I can’t personally verify, but it would be a long way to go for a hoax… unprecedented, no, but I’ll check back in after I read it.
Unfortunately it was manhattan so that was just one city blocks worth 😝
Startrek XXX… I had a different joke in mind but now I just want Startrek 10 the movie staring Vin Diesel 😎
I mean… maps has been kinda shitty for years!
It’s still better than Wayze trying to sell you burgers and fries at every stop sign… but you need to tap the search box like 3 fucking times to input shit, and why is that? So you have ample opportunity to see Crapple’s list of “suggestions….“
And have you noticed that you need to zoom down to AntMan scale to see the names of some businesses in a shopping center, and yet others are virtually visible from orbit? Could it be that businesses that pay Apple stick out like a sore thumb, and business that don’t virtually disappear? Nah… Fucking Apphole behavior.
It’s time to face facts, Apple stopped giving a shit about the customer years ago. Before their headquarters was literally a Bond villain’s donut you could drive through their parking lot and it was a sea of shitty rust buckets, executive parking lot underground.
I was giving serious consideration to going Android again rather then buying a 2K+ tablet… but then I need to buy a new watch and phone at the same time to have a slim chance of interoperability so it’s basically a wash.
Fuck Apple.
ROFL… I think there’s a quotable from Fight Club about his dad going around setting up “franchises…”
Honestly hoping to meet Patrick Vol… nope —not even going to take a swing at trying to spell his last name. But I seriously owe that guy a beer and pancakes.
On a semi related note, I think it took me a solid week of effort to get audio going (on Linux) just so I could be more confused about how to properly pronounce it. I want to say the file name was linux.au and it’s Linus saying something like “This is Linus Torvalds introducing UNIX as Linux.” Back in the day we had to spell UNIX with an asterisk because AT&T owned the trademark and aggressively enforced it.
All of this went down while I was working at a shitty little outfit called Los Gatos Computer Corporation. We built IBM PC clones in half the warehouse, the other half was full of old SGI computers. The scam there was that the business owners told SGI they were recycling the old hardware, but what they actually did was cobble together working systems from the broken bits. Basically one brilliant guy sat in a 10x10 room chain smoking and patching the busted SGI stuff back together. He hand soldered upwards of a hundred hair fine bodge wires, motherboards taped together… it was mental, but somehow they made enough cash to keep the whole crazy operation alive for a year or two.
Spot on, thanks for finding that. I wonder if there was ever a proof of concept or something like that. I installed my first copy of Slackware some time in the early 90… Maybe late 80s… it’s getting a bit fuzzy, I want to say that the kernel was pre 0.9.
One of the scariest things I had ever done, but I learned so much more about computers than I would have otherwise. Point being there was definitely some years between Ken’s article… still very much the era of viruses for the same of proving you could create something novel and powerful. We kept collections of them like weirdos that keep poisonous snakes 🐍
Anyway, it’s past grandpas bed time. Thanks again for finding the article, I’ll definitely have to do a bit more research… It was a super fun time in my life and I enjoyed remembering.
Also… not that any risk mitigation strategy is going to save you 100% of the time. But a translation app sounds like something you could run in a VM to effectively isolate. Hell, if it’s lightweight enough and you have $100 you could run it on a light weight SBC like a Pi and physically air gap it.
Uhhhhhhhh…
Bruh. It’s not safe to assume any software from anywhere is safe… that’s kinda the essence of Zero Day exploits.
Even if you wrote it there have been Linux exploits that hid a root kit, and patched the gcc compiler and linker to create a level of persistence that is just other worldly. IIRC what that fucker was called, but it won’t be hard to find. You can probably still count Linux root kits on one hand.
Hell, I’ll look it up after I’m done with my morning duce… that shit was epic. And like, also, theoretically, you could be Mr. Robot, so… you know… it’s just a good idea not to trust yourself anyway.

Damn that’s tough. I’m theoretically watching DS-9 right now, so either the USS To Little To Late AKA The ooooo it’s got guns we never fire… or any of The Kardashian ships because they remind me a bit of Captain Nemo’s sub in the Disney version of 20kl Under the Sea. Which is my jam… if you can’t get behind James Mason and a singing harbor seal then you need to rethink your life.
I’m just presuming a Kilo League is a metrical unit, and I’m just going to leave Kardashian as is because it made me laugh. Somebody needs to AI up a picture of one of their ships with a big zipper in the rear 😝😵
Right? You got to love the fancy gauge package on what looks like a busty old lab power supply. And what looks like half of Thor Labs inexplicably just sitting on top… Did I actually read the article or (presumably) the related paper, which is no doubt cramp was so many buzz words that I wouldn’t understand it with a dictionary? No I did not 😅 But that gizmo ain’t really making sense… I suppose as some kind of measurement apparatus? I guess just holding up the actual superconducting material would not be enough to really keep a press conference entertained… OK, I’ll just show myself out of the physics lab 🥸
LOL… seriously I was like low key annoyed at JellyFin for… ya’ know, not being Plex for a minute, and then I actually looked at the ShitHub repo… it’s 8 dudes. Egg on muh face 🤯
BART looking smug because there’s no vacuum tube shortage.
