I guess, no one NEEDS a video streaming platform.

Nobody NEEDS social media, but when a social media does something harmful, they need to be regulated.

That’d be well and good if they didn’t have a monopoly.

many of which wirh anti cheat, it’s not worth making the switch just yet.

I get that. Shit like that is the only reason I stick with a dual boot.

Also, I got a NAS recently with OpenMediaVault and I only have the time to tinker with one thing at a time :P

I also get that. My self hosted gaming server can be a bit of work sometimes.

Any advice on the switch though, or tools you use lmk!

Two things, I’d go with Linux Mint Debian Edition if I we’re you. I’ve found it to be the most compatible with my games, (like 9 out of 10 or so), and have had zero major issues/glitches with it. Plus it avoids the drauam surrounding ubuntu.

The second thing is to keep a separate “home” partition for your documents/pictures/game saves/etc. Mine is [Name]_STC, with the acronym being a nod to wh40k’s Standard Template Constructs. The idea being it isn’t named something generic like “home”, or worse using the home folder.

And anytime I need to back up shit, I just zip the whole partition and put it on a separate drive. If something happens, I copy my standard template construct.

Why wait?

If somebody gets access to your system, they could use that to blackmail you, and/or frame you for distributing said media.

“Give us $X, or we leak and distribute Y media on your behalf, and you will get sued by the corporate goons for shit loads of money”

The only real solution is to completely overhaul IP law, and/or nationalizing funding for the arts. If we’re gonna keep corps that own/produce media, then they should have a very short and limited amount of time to distribute it before it becomes common property of the people.

It’s excruciatingly easy to side load on android, to the point where it is outright dangerous for laymen.

All it will take is a 30s tiktok showing how to side load and they’re done, tech literate or not

None exist in mine.

They don’t really exist anymore. 3rd places have more or less been killed off.

You must now own a car and pay money to exist somewhere, at all times.

It has some rough edges to be sure. I’ve found myself fighting with it quite a bit. But it’s usable.

I’m just glad there is more incentive for [organization] to help patch the issues.

Which ep/movie are you referring to?

If this exploit was more performant, I wonder how much longer it would have taken to get noticed.

LMDE

That works too. There are so many ways to get around this.

That’s already been addressed.

So do you have a better citation?

Citation?

Yes so we need to understand it.

Sure. I never said we shouldn’t understand it.

Understanding != continued existence.

But with that said, capitalism has proven itself to be unsustainable and in need of replacement. The longer we take to replace it the worse things are going to be.

Feudalism was once a part of building blocks upon which we all stood.

“Thing could be worse” is not a valid argument against improving things.

The building manager, Oscar, was recently put in charge of the whole department/building because things weren’t working out well. Well it got worse under Oscar. First he made a push to end working from home, and then he got into so many arguments and fights with my boss Theo. It didn’t take long for Theo to say fuck it and leave, which is when things got worse.

For a 2 month period or so, our entire team of like 13 people were in limbo with no direction. Oscar temporarily took control of our team until he found a replacement. And in that time he constantly was grilling us for answers about what our team did and how it worked. Not fun. A little bit later he fired two people off our team.

We then got a replacement manager, David. He’s not the best manager, but he’s not the worst. He struggles to comprehend what our team does, but he trusts that we know enough to get by with a little bit of direction on what project we should be working on. Another 2 people left over the course of a few months on their own.

Then in March, Oscar fired about 30 people across the department for “budget” reasons. From what I heard, the company lost a shit load of money due to all the project delays. Those delays have only gotten worse now that morale is in the garbage. Nobody wants to work hard at a place they fear they will be fired from at any moment while constantly being interrogated by Oscar. Some more people left on their own over the following months.

Cut to today, and there are 5 people left on the team I’m in. And I put my two weeks notice in because I got a better job. I don’t know what kind of shit show it’s gonna turn into, or what’s gonna happen when there is nobody left on my team. But on my team at least, every member has been looking for the door, and it’s been a race to not be the last person still working there.

So yeah, if your a manager, maybe don’t interrogate people and make people fear for their livelihoods.
