Tilda, because I like how I can drop it down my screen anytime by pressing one key if I need to use it.

The person at the DMV was confused why I was staring blankly (actually not, just a neutral expression) when taking a photo for my license. She told me that it’s ok if I wanted to smile. It’s weird how you’re allowed to have a non-neutral expression on driver’s licenses in the US.

Aha DNS Blitz. Instead of an app, you install a VPN profile. The benefit is that it protects you wherever you go regardless of the connection you’re using (home wifi, mobile data, public wifi, etc.).

Yup, I have the beta versions of voyager, memmy, and mlem on my phone and just alternately switch to whichever app gets a new update; or if one happens to be buggy or unstable.

Thanks for all your hard work on this. I’ve used lasim to transfer my subscriptions to my other accounts on other instances when the lemmy.world downtimes happened last week. I love the portability of the tool.

I think Elton John testified in Spacey’s trial and sorta corroborated Spacey’s alibi that he was somewhere else when the assault in question happened. I didn’t really read much into it but that’s how I understood it. Anyone correct me if I’m wrong.

I’m seeing Oppenheimer on IMAX later today and I’m already dreading the Nolan sound design. Is it bad? Hopefully not Tenet bad?

I remember a couple of years ago someone from high school (2 years ahead of me) messaged me out of the blue. I never really interacted with that person even back in high school, and their opening message was asking if I had zoom. Checked out her profile and as expected, MLM.

Wow Bunsenlabs. Now that’s a distro I haven’t heard in a while. lol. I used to have it on an old laptop many many years ago.

Google Maps is better for traffic data and it’s “live map” (basically any information that relies on to the minute information).

This is it for me. 95% of my usage of maps is while I’m driving, and I need live data so I can be rerouted immediately if there’s a sudden change of traffic ahead, or if I take a wrong turn or exit.

Lol same. I also use it for time critical stuff where you don’t want to risk a site breaking, like when trying to get tickets for good seats on a concert when sale opens.

I don’t have the document on hand while writing this, but I believe ISO27001 and most other certs have controls around regular pentests on an organization’s infrastructure and applications, and they ask for evidence that those are done regularly and ask for proof of remediation of findings during audits. While they don’t directly ask if “company survived a 5 day red team exercise”, the control processes they check for indirectly checks for those. And yes, it largely depends on how technical and how deep the auditor wants to go.

This applies to lift-and-shift migrations too. “We need to migrate this now, let’s fix it as a next phase”, then it never gets fixed; instead of taking the opportunity to fix stuff as you build on a clean slate.

Saw him in person at Defcon years ago. He was very personable and was happy to talk to anyone. RIP

Non-unionized I believe, unlike UPS. That’s why I dread it when I order something and see it was sent via FedEx Ground. That’s specifically the worst.

It’s the first step of installation, making a bootable usb/CD. Most non-technical people can’t be arsed to create a bootable drive, then go into the bios boot settings to run it. I haven’t used Windows in a long time so I don’t know how it’s installed these days, but the fact that it comes installed out-of-the-box when people buy a computer lets them skip the first and biggest step to running linux, which is getting it installed in the first place.

Distros have come a long way that a Windows user trying Linux Mint can hit the ground running. It’s no longer about the learning curve for USING linux, it’s INSTALLING linux that’s the problem.

Is faster. I don’t care about the extra bells and whistles, and I want a straightforward functioning system that allows me to do what I need to do. I also like that I can customize my desktop experience to my heart’s desires. I can literally change the way my system looks if I get bored of it. Most importantly, the lack of tracking/telemetry and being a smaller target on the web.

Well done. It’s cool how Andor and Rogue One are the best Star Wars has put out in recent years, and they’re both connected very closely.

Me reading this post on an alpha app on testflight: chuckles I’m in danger.

Kidding aside, I used a dedicated email (and password) for my account and don’t plan to post any personal info on here.
