I look at the contributors on Github and check them out. I’ll check out what else they’ve worked on and maybe see if they have an account on mastodon or twitter. Maybe I’ll ask some friends if they’ve used or heard of the product, or know of the devs.

There is indeed malware disguised as OSS and you do sometimes have to vet them. I’ll skim the codebase and see if there’s anything that looks weird or funky, but that’s not perfect (like in the case of the xz) and some stuff can slip by.

What helped me understand QM was spending four years getting a degree in physics then never using it again.

I’m not sure off-hand since I’m not too familiar with VLC.

I would imagine it could be an issue in a graphics driver at the kernel (amdgpu?) or user level (mesa?). It could also be a problem in something higher up.

I would recommend posting an issue in the VLC repo and see if you can get better support that way.

Can you turn off hardware decoding and see if it works then?

If you have a memory-mapped peripheral where there’s a readonly register, I could see it being const volatile.

I’m not crashing (yet). Is it possible to link the post?

I hate how tipping is now customary at every single restaurant now, including places without servers.

I have no idea what you’re on about; you’re probably misunderstanding what I’m saying. I’m clearly not saying there aren’t medically-necessary reasons to get circumcised—it’s obviously is needed in some cases. I’m saying it’s unnecessary to give them to all males at birth. People shouldn’t undergo surgery before it’s deemed necessary.

And the appendix isn’t removed at birth or before an infection, it’s removed when it’s necessary.

Women do not get mastectomies unless it’s necessary. People aren’t getting them before they’re diagnosed.

admit that in many cases a circumcision is the best route for your child’s penis healt

That’s just wrong. You realize people outside the US are mainly uncircumcised, right?

And phimosis isn’t that common though. In many cases, it can be resolved without circumcision. We don’t need to circumcise every male at birth because they have a small chance of phimosis needing circumcision later on.

Arguing that it should be removed at infancy because of phimosis is like arguing we should remove toenails because they can become ingrown.

My older brother got me into Ubuntu when I was around 12. He basically showed me the basics, like the terminal and a couple commands, then just told me to manpage or Google everything else.

Then I got Linux for the Wii and that really got me into the nitty gritties of Linux.

I don’t think it’s very useful at generating good code or answering anything about most libraries, but I’ve found it to be helpful answering specific JS/TS questions.

The MDN version is also pretty great too. I’ve never done a Firefox extension before and MDN Plus was surprisingly helpful at explaining the limitations on mobile. Only downside is it’s limited to 5 free prompts/day.

It was just a dock, so not terribly expensive but expensive enough to hurt if it got lost.

Scihub for most things. You can also sometimes find preprints (or contact the authors) on RG.

If you’re not in school and just teaching yourself the material, get a better textbook. There are plenty of exceptional textbooks in physics on libgen. If it’s for a specific subject, I can probably recommend you a textbook.

Not really. I’ve lived here for ~30 years and certain spots are better, some are worse.

Caffeine pills! You can find them for cheap at most drug stores. Plus you can dose the exact amount you want.

Not sure what you mean here, this is what the forum post said:

After emailing (admittedly not current best practice), the passwords are hashed and only the hash is stored.

But in situations like this there is a much larger chance it’s being stored in plain text.

I suppose, but OP said in the title that the passwords were being stored in plaintext, despite that not being the case.
