In b4 msft creates a level between kernel and user level for this stuff to sit at. It will have read-only access to all of kernel memory, and will otherwise function the same, but when it crashes it won’t take the OS down, just certain programs that rely on it.

What will they call it? “Observer” level? “Big Brother” level? “Overseer” level? Probably just something to do with “Verifying Trust/Integrity”. Google will also want to quietly stick something for “Web Integrity” there.

I don’t think you know what clickbait is. Clickbait means burying the, usually nonexistent, lead in order to bait views.

Ex. “Here’s how drug dealers make millions” and the content is just a long drawn out version of “they buy them online for cheap and then sell them to people” without any actual info on how that happens.

It’s not clickbait when you conduct a journalistic experiment and publish the literal result as the headline, and the content is an actual documentation of the process you went through in detail (or as much as is safe to publish). That’s just called journalism.

As someone who found out it’s origin by casually using it in reference to my asian buddy’s PC, I’m here to let you know it’s not.

If you keep picking a single replacement for the big corporation that conveniently carries everything, you’re just following Southpark’s wal-mart pattern. Take two extra seconds and see if you can buy the product directly from the manufacturer’s website, some other niche/specialty retail site, or from a brick & mortar store down the street.

I think their point was that it’s just never gonna run on a phone that came out in 2009.

Another arm in the arms race. The next gen of face generation will have this mastered.

Things we didn’t think we’d have to tell people in the future.

If they removed it from the preface and pasted it at the beginning of every paragraph throughout the entire document, a certain type of person would still be focused on the one place they removed it from. Those are not serious people and should not be taken seriously.

I’m fine with stressful, high risk gameplay, it’s when the game asks me to spend a bunch of time doing something I don’t find fun that it loses me.

Subnautica in particular did this to me. All my friends who like Outer Wilds told me to play Subnautica. I loved the exploration and story, but I didn’t care at all about building a fancy base that I would never see again after finishing the game. There was a particular point where I was bottlenecked on finding a single resource type that was located in one single place in a giant ocean, which turned out to be a place I felt I was being told not to go yet (trying to avoid spoilers). I thought i was being dense, just not learning what the game was trying to teach me, so I ended up having to look it up, only to realize the game did an absolutely piss poor job of directing me toward the resource. My entire experience was soured by that.

It was after that that I decided single player survival crafters are not my thing. I like them as a multiplayer experience, because you can amortize busy work across multiple people, and socialize as you do it, but by myself I’d rather do anything else. I get it if someone finds it relaxing to do that kind of thing, but it’s not for me.

I’ll find a way.

Do I teleport in during the day above ground? Then I’m definitely going to fall to my death.

“Would you consider the middle to be closer to one side, or the other?”

Man, I really wanted to like this game, I love the setting, art, music, and overall aesthetics, but I’m having trouble finding the fun.

When I first heard about it, I was hoping it was basically a linear road down the coast, with a story to experience along the way (kinda like the boat/car sections of HL2). But then it turned out to be a repetitive grind. There are some mechanics I think are novel and add a lot of fun (ex. the Quirks system), but 90% of what I was doing in the game felt unfun and pointless so I could eventually return to the garage and do it all again.

I for one immediately accept this conclusion at face value.

Phew, from the title it wasn’t clear what “unlock” meant. I thought they were trying to force carriers to backdoor everyone’s phones and make the conents of any phone available upon request by law enforcement in a timely manner.

Yeah, but I would say it’s less important that you can find a win-win solution, and more important to get in the mindset that advocating for your own interests is not the same as being selfish.

A lot of people fail at negotiating because they don’t want to be seen as selfish, but especially when it comes to negotiating with a corporation, they’re banking off of you feeling that way. Know your worth, and make sure you’re fairly compensated.

On a related note, this is also the point of a union/collective bargaining and why companies hate them. They know that some people are better advocates for themselves than others, but they know that most people are bad at it. Divide and conquer.

Sure, yeah, I would say you should only trust stable, well refined filesystems as a daily driver. Which is why I was curious what set ext4 apart from the rest for you.

That’s fine, I just consider that the absolute bare minimum for a FS to be usable.

This is an article I always reference for job offer negotiations, but the principles would apply to negotiation in general. The most important concept to understand is: you can split a pot between two parties in ways that result in both of you getting more of what you want.

I understand ext4 being dependable, but favorite? I’m curious what makes it your favorite.
