e-reader were a gamechanger for me.
on one side they are super convinient, because of the backlight alone.
on the other side: piracy

step 1: copy from DIN
I don't see how "scammers creating scam repos" [2] is newsworthy at all. At least the headline seems like a big nothing-burger to me.
farther down in the article are 2 interesting informations, namely this diagram [1] and the fact that scammers seem to have moved from pip to github, and then started to use forks to make their scam-clones appear more believable.

[2] 1000 guys make 1000 clones of 1000 legit libraries, and than create 1000 forks of their clones, to make them seem more legit than the original lib. 999 of each 1000 clones get autofiltered by github
--> 100010001000*1000/1000 = 1.000.000.000 infected repos(inkluding forks) and 1.000.000 (wihout forks).
so the number of 100.000 infected repos doesn't seem to be interesting or unexpected in any way.
yes I know if you look hard enough you can find legacy panels
In some case you have to actively looks for the legacy panel, because the new ones don't allow to change certain settings.
how does it compare to yt-dlp?
The best knee-surgery meme is knee-surgery itself.
i.e. knee-surgery is fun, but it is not usefull.

it's a great candidate. It was my first "real" languages (i.e. the first language, that is not php/js)
you have a text file. then call the compiler on it, and then you have a exe file, that you can run. It does exactly what it is supposed to do without thinking about the browser, the webserver, the JVM, or some other weirdness.
I get, that doing "good cpp" is difficult. And using all the weird languages features is difficult. But as long as you use strings, ints, ifs, fors, you should be fine. Just don't use generics, templates, new (keep everything on the stack), multi-inheritance, complex libraries, and it's a nice beginner language.
offtopic: what is the significance of the reblogger in the screenshot? like, why didn't they leave the top third of the picture in?
To become chancellor you have to swear an oath on the “schwarze Null”. that you forgot what you did during the largest tax-scam in history
it's safe to assume there are similar issues in closed source. A big part of the snowden leaks was about how NSA could access lots of data at will. It wouldn't surprise me if they also could execute code.
Also there is stuxnet. But I am not sure, if there were intentional backdoors, or only some "natural occuring" RCE.
the goldberg-steamcrack supports multiplayer. https://gitlab.com/Mr_Goldberg/goldberg_emulator
I only tested it in lan, and it works great. Not sure if it works online, too. You may need hamachi.
And of course: online multiplayer with randos is probably not worth it, as others have pointed out. On one hands it's probably a bitch to set up. On the other cheating is probably rampant.

it's worth the read, but the conclusion at the end is important
Who cares?
Well, everyone who uses a computer should, particularly if we consider what might have happened if Microsoft hadn’t abused their market power. When a monopolist abuses their power, customers all lose, because they don’t get to enjoy the more rapid improvements that robust competition provides. It’s one of the key reasons we think competition is a good thing.
[...] But lastly, and this is the big one for me, we might not have a monoculture of operating system on the Internet with such a poor security model.
[...] Imagine a world where Symantec didn’t exist, because viruses weren’t so easy to write and spread to all the world’s computers. Imagine a world where spam didn’t constitute 90% of all email because it wasn’t so easy to take over a PC and turn it into a botnet zombie. Imagine not having to do impromptu tech-support for family members who accidentally installed a bunch of spyware.
[...]Imagine all the time and money that has been, and continues to be, spent on fixing all of the issues that a better security model 10-15 years ago might have avoided.
In Summary
Microsoft have made (or bought) some excellent products, as they continue to do. There are many wise, capable, and perfectly reasonable people who work there, what with it being a big company and all. This is not a company that is an unrestrained force for evil in the world.
However.
Microsoft have a history of abusing market dominance in order to exclude competitors. Many of the top management running the company at the time are still there, running the company today.
Perhaps there will be no repeat performances, but there are very good reasons for greeting rhetoric from Microsoft regarding their openness with some scepticism.
Inflammatory headline aside, let me be clear that I don’t hate Microsoft. But I can understand why there are those who do.
the fact that a system eventually becomes complex and flawed is not due to engineering failures - it is inherent in the nature of changing systems
it is not. It's just that there will be some point, where you need significant effort to keep the systems structure up to the new demands {1}. I find the debt-metaphor is quite apt [2]: In your scenario the debt accumulates until it's easier to start fresh. But you can also manage your debt and keep going indefinitily. But in contrast to financial debt, paying of technical debt is much less obvious. First of all it is pretty much impossible to put any kind of exact number on it. On the other hand, it's very hard to tell what you actually should do to pay it off. (tangent: This is why experienced engineers are worth so much: (among other things) they have seen how debt evolves over time, and may see the early signs).

However you will now have rodent problems
chicken got you covered on that front too https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iubf1oJdQQQ
most recently I had this with energy-settings, before that with network-settings, and before that with some language settings.
I’ve not actually had this problem ...(aside from [when I had this problem])
lol
they were lied to by the landparasite
can't you sue the landlord for false advertising in burgerland?
who else should be a significant backer for an open source project? google? microsoft?
soft failures add complexity and ambiguity to your system, as it creates many paths and states you have to consider. It's generally a good idea to keep the exception handling simple, by failing fast and hard.
here is a nice paper, that highlights some exception handling issues in complex systems

That’s still not how governments work
It would be nice if it worked like that, but we both know it doesn't
amazon on kindle is very convienient. But I don't want to support jeff bezozs, which is why I like piracy. Also amazon makes it really easy to pirate. You just send the pirated copy to you kindle email-adress, and amazon uploads the pirated ebook to your kindle. I have done this for about 10 years, and I like to image, that Jeff sheds a single tear each time I do this.
On the other hand there are many public libraries with a steam-like service. e.g. you pay your regular library fee (2€ iirc) and you can download all the books you want to your e-reader. The catch is, that you can only keep a certain number of digital copies at the same time for some reason. The other down side is, that the initial setup takes some time (but I guess that depends on the library? idk it was >5 years ago when I did some research in that direction).
If someone knows more about the public-library-ebook-service, please let us know.

the other stuff isn't too wild either.
have you tried cs.rin.ru?
have you tried cracking it yourself? (i.e. downloading it from steam, refunding it, and then applying some of the generic steam-cracks)
There are multiple justices taking bribes and telling us they have the legal right to do so
is this true?
providing source is good form in every context
When you buy something from them, you’re also supporting those people
I am sorry, but this take is just insane. You do not support amazon workers when you buy from amazon.
trickle down does not work. Companies like amazon will not use additional revenue to increase the conditions of their worker.
In fact, the opposite is true: the more market power amazon has, the worse it will treat its worker (and also the 3rd party sellers, and even the buyers)
iirc there are multi syntaxes for writing down chess moves (some with very slight variations)
does that matter? I though only the voltage and wattage would play a role
Because megacorps are at least “smart enough” to pretend they aren’t trying to take over the world.
there are enough examples for corps doing evil things. You hear about them less often, because they cover their tracks and the outcry is generally smaller than when governments do similar things.
Whereas governments have a tendency to justify a lot of horrible shit for righteous reasons.
corps justify a lot of horribble shit for financial reasons. Is that better?
we’ll probably get a win 12 that is less good than win 10, but better than win 11,
I wouldn't count on it. MS is moving away from selling desktop-stuff and towards selling cloud stuff (think azure and office356) and consulting. That's why they changed their attitude towards linux (think wsl and c# for linux) and open-source (think github). MS wants companies to use open-source tools (preferably written in c#) and deploy them to azure with the help of MS-consultants.
Enshittifying windows is a step in that direction. For example: The more people have a MS-Account, the easier it is to sell office356. That's why they pressure windows-user into making MS-Accounts.
MS knows that desktop is dying.
thanks
Why can’t anyone study to become a qualified surgeon?
anyone can try
the last time I had to set up a windows-system, I just said fuck-it and bought a key for 2€ from on of these shady key-sides.
thanks!

you mean shardplate?
eliza could do that 60 years ago
