Well it is true hardware implants and hardware replacements can’t be fixed by flashing but they are detectable and they can only deploy so many of those before everything is a major news story and if you feel that the odds are that high, making one’s own hardware is an option but generally not a good one.

Who cares if you can flash the firmware (which will remove any thing that they might be able to do)

What if Roko’s Basilisk will be created by a poor gifted child who only is able to do so due to a robust social welfare safety net and who’s timing of birth would require their mother to have access to birth control and reproductive health care.

Well dildo copters exist, so it would only take one or two people to make a swarm of taco copters in time.

I just hope that they don’t spray hot sauce, that would be a bit too spicy.

Well, think of it as positive engagement to stop buying gasoline vehicles.

Don’t have any games that require those. So never ran into that problem. But I can imagine there are potential games/apps people would want that can’t run on Linux. Windows VMs might be a solution but I don’t know as I never had to deal with that.

Steam, wine and dosbox with them, you can effectively play any game worth playing. Beyond that I never needed to know.

It happens, it’ll be fine. Just remember not to stress out too hard about it and it’ll be fine. The solar punk community knows how to survive a server outage in style.

Well my husband’s work place does audit the code they deploy but they have a big problem with contractors just downloading random shit and putting it on production systems without following proper review and in violation of policy.

The phrase fucking Deloitte is a daily occurrence.

Not every version of chmod supports that and you really don’t want your media files to be executable

Well sudo find ${path} -type d exec chmod 750 {}; to fix the folders first Then sudo find ${path} -type f exec chmod 640 {}; to fix the files

After that sudo chown -Rv my user:media ${path} and everything should be sorted

Unfortunately the XSettings freedesktop spec is trash and hasn’t been released let alone revised since 2001

Literally anyone with database access on any social media site can do that to anyone at any time (and potentially even hide it from the person that they did it to) It is why generative AI is being used to create posts on facebook that read like ads for products

Easy make the office procedure private with the child, ask the child what answer that they want told to their parents.
