If you grew up to be a man, it might make sense to describe your younger self as a boy. My understanding of gender is that often the one you end up with as an adult is the one you really have had the whole time, or at least since you started having one at all.

But my other understanding of gender is that being in gender trouble is a fake idea, so you can and should describe your younger self as whatever feels right to you, no matter what you think of yourself as now.

Sounds more like the pirate queen.

I’ve had pretty good results with Wings3D actually, as opposed to Blender. For proper CAD you can try Solvespace, which also sucks but at least has so little to it that you can learn to use it if you remember the idea of solving systems of equations at all.

I don’t think ActivityPub is set up for one server storing and forwarding a whole feed of everything, like Usenet. Right?

But you can, in fact, be too careful. Availability is one arm of the security triad.

If whatever complex configuration you have set up to avoid exposing something to the Internet is incompatible with something and what you wanted to do can’t be done, or if you look and see that setting all that up would be too hard and don’t bother to expose the service at all, then your security posture is incorrect because your service is just as unavailable as if someone else broke it.

That certainly sounds like a thing you would want, nay need, to fix.

It could probably change the language selector.

If I’m an elite hacker spy who works for the hacker spy division of the Chinese army, am I going to change the system language of the thing I am hacking to Chinese and forget to change it back?

Mostly so they could say they did.

You don’t do the development on the board.

Probably only some people need the complexity of the category system, and if it’s off by default, people who don’t don’t need to understand it to accomplish what they want to with their notifications.

I don’t think there can be that high a density of fascists. sh.itjust.works just voted overwhelmingly to defederate some kind of MAGA nonsense instance. Mostly it seems like nice folks overhere who know fascists are bad news.

It might be full of individualists with no grounding in Marxist theory, of the type that much annoyed Vladimir Lennin. I couldn’t tell you because of my poor grounding Marxist theory, and I don’t see that as a problem because of my individualism.

Or plants. Or whether you should shout at people. Or sort of the concept of women.

Nah, that’s an NPU.

The graphics stack is better, but the security isolation is IMHO solving a problem no one really had, at the cost of breaking a bunch of integration mechanisms people actually used.

You want UI security isolation for something like Android, where most software being run is fundamentally opposed to the interests of the user and wants to steal anything not nailed down, and you also contain things at the file system level. If Facebook could screenshot every other app all the time it absolutely would, and people would download it anyway. To some extent the enforceable promise that it can’t do that is why people are still willing to download it anyway and let it do all the other things it does to compromise a system.

In a distro shipping legitimate software, isolation at the desktop UI level is nice for defense in depth, but not really drawing a real security boundary around any program to the point where a user can trust a machine with malicious software running. It doesn’t matter if I can’t steal Firefox’s pixels if I can echo "export PATH=$HOME/.evil-firefox/bin:$PATH" >>~/.bashrc.

Probably.

This sounds like a bug in the distro packaging of the module, or maybe in Grub. You don’t want to try and install any kernel package, or make your default boot option any kernel package, that the wifi driver package doesn’t declare compatibility with.

But nobody’s package manager knows to do this by default when the driver package is installed, and most packaging systems might not even be able to articulate that constraint.

I don’t think it is right to trivialize rape like that.

I don’t think the burden should be on users, but I do think some of the burden should be on the press. If the press just assumes Google is up to no good and never does the investigative reporting needed to show it, we will miss out on having very politically useful evidence.

Anytime I want cooperation I will need to persuade you.

That sounds suspiciously like democracy, the thing we would quite like to achieve.

But they aren’t even showing collection of data in the article. For the data to be collected, it needs to leave the phone, not just be touched by Play Services.

Play Services does collect data it shouldn’t collect, by sending it back to Google. But the difference between “I am collecting your data” and “I wrote software you are running” is important and needs defending, because obscuring it is one way that independent developers are prevented from publishing and marketing actually-privacy-preserving software. If I am deemed to have “collected” your personal data every time you type it into a text editor I wrote, I can no longer distinguish my local-only encrypted text editor from Google’s one that stores all your data unencrypted on their cloud. We both have to say we “collect” your data, and nobody non-technical can tell the difference.
