Ah yes! “Just teach” the cat. Easy

Holy shit go touch some grass. Jesus Christ

There’s no reason your clients can’t have public, world routeable IPs as well as security.

There are a lot of valid reasons, other than security, for why you wouldn’t want that though. You don’t necessarily want to allow any client’s activity to be traceable on an individual level, nor do you want to allow people to do things like count the number of clients at a particular location. Information like that is just unnecessary to expose, even if hiding it doesn’t make anything more secure per se.

Hardest I’ve ever rolled my eyes

It really feels like no matter what community you look at on Lemmy, every 3rd post is Windows bad Linux good. It’s honestly a bit exhausting. And I’ve been running Linux for over a decade…

Ah yes. If you need it, you can get it done. Except for the fact that you probably can’t afford it.

That’s one way to see it. Another is that empathy is all that’s needed for good, but ideology can be used to manipulate people such that their empathy for a certain group is suppressed.

Totally agree, this honestly sounds a bit like putting principles before reason. Personally, I don’t at all see why paying people for their work would make projects adhere any less to the “open source ethos”, even though I hear this idea a lot. I think that in an ideal world, it should be possible to contribute to OSS projects full-time and make a living, financed by donations from dependants (including corporations) that profit off of the free software and have a vested interest in continued and rapid development of the project.

If you really don’t want the money to reward contributors, why not pass it on to open-source dependencies of your project that are looking for funding? FOSS projects not scrambling for funding is pretty rare today unfortunately.

That’s not true, M1 Pro and Max MacBooks both support dual external monitors.

The scaling and lack of available resolution problems is very real though. If you have monitors with a slightly non-standard resolution, you basically need third party software like SwitchResX, which is pretty stupid considering Windows has no problems like this at all.

How is this a meme?

Some fake Telekom workers showed up at my grandma’s place in person recently, wearing uniforms and all, saying they need to “perform maintenance on the TV connection”. Luckily, grandma’s still super sharp, recognized that something was off, and just shouted “Peter, the TV people are here” into her flat, even though she was alone and Peter had died decades ago. They made some excuses and left immediately when they thought they were no longer just prying on a single brittle old lady.

Super proud of her, but also so scary to think that a bunch of asshole scammers were so close to just walking around in her flat.

It’s a stupid meme, don’t take it seriously…

Source…?

The console versions totally have mod support, albeit limited. The most important mods like the unofficial patch are there.

Just build it as a big ring all the way around the earth

Try selling a locked any phone made in the last 5 years or so. They’re pretty much all a brick if you can’t unlock them.

I really wish I could but unfortunately in Germany all police chatter is encrypted, and even if you could run a scanner it’s super illegal

Google literally has an official list of IP ranges for their crawlers, complete with an API that returns the current IP ranges that you can use to automate a check. Hardly a moving target, and even if it is, it doesn’t matter if you know exactly where the target is at all times.

The red pill sounds like absolute horror. I’d desperately try to get all the good things in my life back, and probably mess shit up bad.

Though on the other hand, there are obviously a bunch of “you were a young idiot”-type mistakes that I’d want to undo…
