lemmesay,

can someone fill in the words? I only got Samsung: something

lemmesay,

I used to use discord, but have switched to matrix since then, which is a better and libre alternative.

lemmesay,

they are more like revanced, but for discord.
so, they can’t be on f-droid.

lemmesay,

well, both are terrible choices.
discord: no end-to-end encryption
whatsapp: mobile number is your identity

but yeah, it’s pick you poison.

lemmesay,

unrelated to discord:
slack also changed their navigation to club DMs in one place recentlyk at least on browsers), which I’m disliking

lemmesay,

oh, I didn’t do any searching with new design. I extensively use search. it’d be bad if they break it. true for colours. their own colour scheme makes text difficult to read.
but I use custom colour scheme(Dracula theme), so have been spared of that.

seems like every year someone has to “redesign”.

lemmesay,

I didn’t have much hope. however, after seeing yet another record hot year, I thought maybe this time people in power would do, or at least pledge to do something.

now I’ve truly accepted my fate. that I, along with billion others whose role in climate change is practically zero, will bear the most(provided we live that long).

lemmesay,

seeing the incumbent party in my home country watering down environmental protection rules to benefit(and later benefit from) crony capitalist friends even as they persecute activists, I think it’s over.

it’s too late for class consciousness.

lemmesay,

I’m not into too much music, but whenever I do want to listen to some, I open a YouTube music client which is more than enough for my needs. they don’t require subscription, or are ads-riddled.
like, at the moment, I’m using vimusic

lemmesay,

to YouTube, you’re youseless if you’re yousing youBlock origin.

lemmesay,

Debian GNU/Linux because of its emphasis on free software. also, it’s an operating system that doesn’t make me feel its presence. couple it with a stable desktop environment like xfce and it becomes a good combo. I’ve installed it on all of my machines. be it server or home devices. it’s my universal operating system.

though in office I’m provided an ubuntu machine, with which I’m also content since at the end of day, it’s GNU/Linux. it’s all that matters to me.

Non-root user that (suddenly) has elevated privileges in a specific command (only). [Have I been hacked?]

Title. Long,short story: creating or editing files with nano as my non-root user gives (the file) elevated privileges, like I have ran it w/ sudo or as root. And the (only) “security hole” that I can think of is a nextdns docker container running as root. That aside, its very “overkill” security-wise (cap_drop=ALL,...

lemmesay,

very detailed answer. thanks for taking time to write it.

lemmesay,

sigma star.

if you haven’t heard about theory of computation, let me define some keywords:

  • symbol: smallest unit. denoted by any character(a,b,c, etc.) or number (0,1, etc.)
  • alphabet: set of symbols. denoted by Σ(sigma). e.g.: {a, b, c}
  • string: sequence of symbols. eg: a, aa, aaab, etc.
  • language: set of strings. e.g.: {a, as, aaab, …}

now, sigma has powers. Σ² is set of all strings of length 2. e.g.: {aa, ab, bb, …}. you can generalise this to Σ^n.
Σ* is union of all powers of sigma. i.e., Σ¹ + Σ² + …

so, a language is basically a subset of Σ*.

as for why theory of computation even exists, you basically try to define what a computer can/cannot do.
and you try to mathematically define a computer. then you try to define what a language is(in case of programming , you need it to form languages and compilers). hence the need for this.

lemmesay,

thanks for sharing. can’t wait to go insane :')

lemmesay,

what’d a symbol be? a pixel?

aside from this, they say a picture is worth a 1000 words. so maybe a big language.

lemmesay,

what about us who pirate share almost everything?

lemmesay,

seeding is caring. and I care a lot :)

lemmesay,

ECMAScript*
Are you also too lazy to learn name of the official specification and capitalisation?
Priorities.

lemmesay,

disagree. see Radcliffe Line and its implementation.
spending five weeks to decide fate of 80 million people without even visiting the place in person isn’t spending “a lot of time.”

lemmesay,

also, you’ve got nothing to hide. you aren’t the bad guy, right?

lemmesay,

ffmpeg is one of those programs no matter how many times you use, you still have to search how to do something with it.

image is from a post from David revoy, creator of pepper&carrot, a libre webcomic. Here’s the post link: framapiaf.org/

lemmesay,

he is the guy who made me like webcomics. :)

lemmesay,

stock android 13 doesn’t allow you to completely block internet access. :(
only solution now is to use netguard

lemmesay,

reminds me of you’ll own nothing and be happy.

it’s them who own everything. they’ll change something one day(common example being prices and how they abuse your data) and you’ll be asked to either continue or leave.

lemmesay,

oh. I don’t have it. do you have lineageOS? I’m using Motorola.

screenshot showing absence of “allow network access setting”

lemmesay,

no, I’m using Motorola. but thanks for the info. won’t buy a Samsung in future.

lemmesay,

I had previously used lineage, on which I was accustomed to it. I know several other Android skins that disable it. hence my suspicion that it’s disabled in stock android.

lemmesay,

does it have to do with the name? first Sam Bankman-Fried, and now him lol. seeing his interviews makes me think he’s more of a wannabe cult-head guy, just like most of silicon-valley bros.


PS: seen his worldcoin thing? it’s whole another level of privacy nightmare.

lemmesay,

I highly doubt that’d happen.

lemmesay,

my theory: Microsoft will hire him and make him as their face of AI stuff.

lemmesay,
lemmesay,

but I don’t have any Java extension?!

lemmesay,

oh, makes sense now. thanks!

lemmesay,

has very questionable telemetry baked in.

lemmesay,

were you thinking of bram moolenaar, the creator of vim?

he was not a king, but rather a benevolent dictator. :)

lemmesay,

izzyondroid is maintained by Izzy, a single dev. whereas fdroid’s repo is official repo for f-droid.

lemmesay,

because f-droid’s criteria is restrictive to some otherwise good apps. and they take some time to add apps to official repo.
think of izzyondroid like a beta-testing repo.

lemmesay,

yeah, that’s what I used to think about those three.
I thought maybe I was wrong lol. now I gotta read about it before anyone says another thing now lol.

thanks for the explanation mate, much appreciated!
