I haven’t used it in the last several years, but from about 2014-2018 any time I tried to download, it required registration, and any time I tried to register, it just didn’t work. It was some problem with the javascript in their site. Probably related to captcha or something. Yes, I tried multiple computers, multiple browsers, even tried registering on a library’s computer.

Looks like their site is less shit now, but it’s still awful.

Mozilla, for example, would sign Firefox’s flatpak with a PGP key that they would disclose on their website. You verify the signature using the RSA algorithm (or any other algorithm for digital signatures. There are a bunch.) Or, you could just trust that your connection wasn’t tampered the first time, then you would have the public key, and it would verify each time that the package came from that same person. Currently, you have to trust every time that your connection isn’t tampered.

Major flatpak providers (Flathub at the very least) would include their PGP public key in the flatpak software repo, and operating system vendors would distribute that key in the flatpak infrastructure for their operating system, which itself is signed by the operating system’s key.

Article doesn’t mention my biggest problem with flatpaks, that the packages are not digitally signed. All major Linux distros sign their packages, and flathub should too. I would prefer to see digital signatures from both flathub and the package’s maintainer. I don’t believe flathub has either one currently.

Bar soap dries out my skin really badly. Besides, moisturizing body wash is not too expensive.

My problem with that theme is that it doesn’t highlight any buttons. I believe all buttons should have borders, especially the ones the titlebar. This helps distinguish a noninteractive label from an interactive clickable button.

This survey doesn’t distinguish between levels of cloud service provider, so I was a little confused.

Virtual private servers, cloud virtual servers (like AWS), cloud-based software where you provide code or a program and the cloud system runs it on a server of its choosing, and cloud-based systems where someone else provides the software (like Google Docs).

I can’t get into the details, but I’ve used UKG/Ultipro in the past and it is absolute shit. Way worse things that just what dirtycrow is showing here.

Gods, that’s awful. I would send them a bill for the cost of my attention.

At this rate, they’ll deport the players. Is it too late to move the 2026 world cup?

I like git add because then you can do git diff --staged

Because assault rifles (or any fully automatic rifles) are highly illegal in the US, and very rare in practice. If it was an assault rifle, its existence would have been as notable of a crime as his brandishing and threatening. The police would have been unlikely to let him go, would likely have confiscated the gun, and would have reported all that to the media.

Nobody knows. The police didn’t say. There are no photos close enough to identify it.

The article says “gun” seven times. It’s accurate and gets the point across about his crime, unlike “assault rifle”, which falsely states that he had an illegal type if gun.

“Rifle” is a word that everyone knows is a type of gun. Even if not everyone knows the specifics, news people should at least look up the word before using it if they don’t know. It’s wrong for news people to use falsely the phrase “assault rifle” because of their ignorance.

Yes, but if you don’t like your IRA for some reason, you can also just transfer it to a different IRA. Some IRAs do invest your money into the stock market, so they can have high interest rates (and risk). All IRAs have the advantage of being fully under your own control, unlike 401k’s which are substantially controlled by your employer.

Note that you can only do one “rollover” per year, but transfers are unlimited. Whenever you move money between any of these pre-tax accounts, try to make sure it will be a “transfer”, not a rollover.

You can transfer it to an pre-tax IRA with no penalty. I found an IRA at a credit union that is NCUA insured (similar to FDIC) which means it can’t lose money. The interest rate is low, though.

A rifle

HODL! Diamond hands!

This is cult talk.

The source loses my respect for calling it an “assault rifle” when it almost certainly was not. This summary (which I assume was written by MicroWave) calls it an “assault-style rifle”, which has no meaning at all.

This is not an assault rifle, and not fully automatic. If it was, the gun’s existence would have been almost certainly illegal.

Words have meaning. The meaning in this case is important. Use your words.

The US doesn’t have exit immigration checkpoints… yet.

When I worked on OpenStack for a few years, 80% of the bugs I fixed were type errors that could have been prevented by Python being staticly typed.
