Updating my computers from Ubuntu 22.04 to 24.04 was a whole day process. It doesn’t help that the upgrade tool requires you to press enter every so often.

(Yeah yeah I should try other distros. I’ll play with other distros when I’m not spending my time as pictured in the meme.)

(To be clear this is on a couple computer I personally own. The ones the lab owns are on Ubuntu 20.04 if I’m lucky…)

lol your VPN company is going to kick you the instant you turn on LOIC through them. Your packets wont even get to the target site because you are basically attacking your own VPN.

Cellular respiration is sugar + oxygen -> water + CO2

Combustion reactions are often characterized as anything that is something + oxygen -> water + optionally something else.

is less about character and more about factors like social awkwardness, lack of friends, poor hygiene, unfortunate genetics, spending too much time online or gaming, etc

The struggle to form relationships comes from issues like what you mentioned here, which are mostly things that are a part of your character. The incel logic is circular.

I primarily use Signal because I like my chats end-to-end encrypted. iMessage is not that bad on that front.

I avoid any Facebook-written code like the plague, including WhatsApp and Messenger. They literally have a track record of putting malware in their products. I don’t understand why Europeans aren’t bothered by this.

DLSS doesn’t work that well. I’m not looking forward to AI replacing artist’s work.

From my experience most sites that support YubiKey support multiple YubiKeys already

The attacker would need physical possession of the YubiKey, Security Key, or YubiHSM, knowledge of the accounts they want to target and specialized equipment to perform the necessary attack. Depending on the use case, the attacker may also require additional knowledge including username, PIN, account password, or authentication key.

Yeah that’s not a dealbreaker IMO

The game “Plague Inc” spiked in popularity, so the devs rushed out a game about saving humanity instead of destroying it lol

When it does happen, hackers will be able to decrypt any vulnerably encrypted messages they capture now. We need to switch to post-quantum encryption well before quantum computers that can break encryption actually are built, such that any data they do actually decrypt is old enough it’s worthless.

But the real reason why Microsoft is doing this now is simply because the decision on which algorithms should be the first official standard for post-quantum encryption have just been finalized. Expect a lot of companies to be adding post-quantum encryption in the next couple years.

Sounds like you could do this to a person in a normal zoom call with no headset.

Buy the gog version and make a backup of the offline installer version. Turn off automatic updates if you have installed it via one of the game manager apps.

That would fall under “nonvisual” (meaning not light-based) perception.

A vector space is when you can:

• add two Things
• multiply a Thing by any real number

And get another Thing that’s the same Kind of Thing.

By Thing I mean Vector and by Kind of Thing I mean element of the same Vector Space.

Examples of vector spaces:

• real numbers
• complex numbers
• sets of N numbers (what most people think of when they hear “vector”)
• matrices
• polynomials
• functions
• quantum states of a given system
• quantities of apples sold, classified by type of apple

Examples of Not Vector Spaces:

• integers
• negative numbers
• nonzero numbers
• unitary matrices
• apples

Yeah a few of these come with asterisks I’m happy to answer questions but don’t want to argue with pedants.

My parents bought a TOS DVD set. They watched it originally when it was airing.

This is more like if you measured altitude by counting from sea level vs the center of the earth vs the top of Mount Everest or something

Xubuntu is more than fine. Tbh it doesn’t hugely matter which distro you use for this type of thing

What I could gather:

• both items and bro attacks (the bro attacks seem to be short and quick, the items seem to be longer)
• something about combining basic attacks into “combination attacks” but they didn’t have a clip of this

Where I live 2K is at the low end for a 400sf studio (I am in a big city where rent is particularly high though).
