I have a nice laptop sleeve that can hold a charger and cord in a side pocket, I'd use OP's bag.

Uh not, it isn't "your word against theirs" -- a competent attorney will put a litigation hold on the CCTV footage, and they'll do it on contingency. Makes me wonder if maybe you…

OTOH there are four critera for a legal stop -- they need to see you enter without the merchandise, select it from the shelf, conceal it, then walk past the point of sale AND all merchandise. And you …

If it's anything like the states, the rankings will only matter when the elites say they do. I remember one particularly sexist and racist NGO coworker who used to point to "merit" when…

What speaks volumes is that such a serious incident is not more widely reporting in a mainstream media that normally loves fear mongering.

Fahrenheit 451 didn't get as embedded into popular culture as 1984, but does a good job depicting a society brain rotted on reality TV and war propaganda.

I was thinking just raw css/html (no js) but if you have designs you like feel free, no one else seems to have

I have an M3. It's got a great screen and battery life, but I found out when I tried to start up Tor in a VM that it won't work with the chipset (?!). No Whonix either. So that's annoyi…

>I installed the MDM software after I picked it up. I'd be more weirded out by MDM than a company that had a small HQ office for HR and legal. I agree that once remote, it should be remote -…

Yes, they were compensated, but they will forever feel they undervalued their tech apparently and don't want it happening again.

Sounds like you understood the post. Do you have any comments on the substance of the post, or are you here to nitpick?

Can we get a shout out to all the projects that are just barebones 90s style HTML? Fast loading, clean design, right to the point. Contrast that with say, Parrot Security: https://www.parro…

Reminds me of the Slashdot days -- "Linux on [insert device]" articles seemed to pop up every other week. Classic stuff!

>There is no authority over the english language. Thanks for this. I often see folks like OP very condescendingly tell people they're not writing "correctly", while forgetting that E…

I judge people based on whether they get their point across -- you don't know the age or national origin of the person posting, for all I know I'm speaking to someone much younger than I who…

Re: https://xeroxnostalgia.com/2023/08/18/a-visit-to-the-xerox-h... PARC also has a museum, but for some reason they were extremely adamant that no one take any photo…

Why not just use plain Debian? Uses same package manager etc w/o these... "features".

Reminds me of the "But I Don't Want To Cure Cancer. I Want To Turn People Into Dinosaurs" meme[1] They don't want to apt install, they want to use docker :-) [1] https:/…

I've been flown out to SF for "remote" role interviews -- I thought it was common that even if the role is remote, you interview on site and might fly out for a brief training, receive …

I think it got edited? Or maybe my mind ran with the "poisoned" comment because there were reports of people involuntarily narcaning people in FiDi recently. Anyways, his writing style remin…
comment
No offense, but maybe they're narcan-ing you because you because you're nodding out in public? I am not doubting you have been fucked with -- I once got into a 2v1 brawl on the Mission and 1…

Thanks for this pointer, I had no idea there are so many of them.

When I run into someone in the hall at Defcon and they assume that what we're discussing is my day job.

I tested, and it looks like if you revoke permissions for DDG in NoScript the image no longer displays when you search "Luigi" (or other characters like Pikachu.)
comment
I apologize that an easter egg that displays a cute image of a duck dressed as a video game character made you so upset, but please don't assume bad faith and inject vitrol into a discussion that…

What a loss. Sneakers inspired me to pursue my dream of being a penetration tester. I first discovered his acting via a long forgotten torrent site. I used to go onto Suprnova[0] and sort by "mos…

More OS projects need to be willing to stop adding features and just focus on the occasional bugfix or security update. Look at say GIMP. They have no market force demanding they add features every ye…
