@q I bought a Peak Design backpack a month or two ago and while I was dubious about spending that much on a bag I couldn’t be happier with it.
I got annoyed enough to Google it. This goes much quicker when I tell Steam to use all 12 CPU cores instead of just the one.
I’m glad I decided to listen to a podcast while playing this game because at this rate I’ll have done most of the episode by the time Steam is done processing Vulkan shaders.
@gsuberland @mcc the feature literally doesn’t exist on ipadOS unless you’ve got MDM and a custom line of business app on the thing.
Three hours ago I thought I’d finish implementing this feature in some software I’m writing. No progress has happened at all but I’ve done a lot of fucking about with audio interfaces.
So far down this rabbit hole I was just passed by a fella in a big hat saying something about tea parties.
@grajohnt were these people friends or were they in fact people who were desperate for twenty bucks?
I decided to try and climb the tree in my parent’s garden after a couple of glasses of wine. It is in retrospect a terrible tree for climbing, I’ve got a small cut on the palm of my hand now, but my niece and nephew think I’m the cool uncle so who’s to say whether it was good idea or not.
@crashtestdev I attempted to read that once, for some reason I decided the weeks after my son was born was the time for business process fiction. I was very wrong. It’s never time for business process fiction, and even less so when you’re catastrophically sleep deprived.
@hughrawlinson what the fuck‽ How is that not just straight up illegal computer misuse and theft of data?
@bloor depending on the age of the kid I have sympathy for the parents, I definitely did some stupid shit as a teenager, but it never got that stupid because me and my friends were all brought up to have at least some respect for things that could kill us.
@bloor amongst the many things that should be taught at a national scale is simple risk assessments and how just because a thing has happened once it doesn’t suddenly make it a thing that should have the most extreme mitigation measures applied.
@an0key Alternate Reality Game - they often kick off with some TV show or game social media account posting a blurry photo of a thing where given enough effort people can work out the location and go find the next clue.
@an0key it’s an ARG, they’re just trying to give you a bit of entertainment with your parcel.
Sometimes I wish my webcam was constantly recording on a loop so I could post gifs of my reaction on reading a post.
Big Walk is such a joyous and beautifully designed game. My group have been doing 2 hours every Tuesday for a little while now and I think it’s the perfect way to experience that game, mainlining it in a few evenings I think the charm would wear off real quick.
@fraggle @cmconseils I agree in all cases where a human is ultimately consuming the content of the QR code (menus, links on ads, follow for the manual) but I do think they’re good for machine to machine use cases. Two examples:
- Passing an auth code like TOTP or a login token from a device with a screen to a device with a camera.
- My favourite: Giving WiFi credentials and an auth token to a networked security camera.
@thomasfuchs @vampiress I think this is broadly the direction things will end up going, although with publishers rather than hosting companies setting the fee per-request and receiving the funds. I don’t know that I’m even against it as it could also lead to trivial per-article pricing from news publications rather than their current doomed model of selling ad space and tracking cookies.
If you're invested in there being a Linux distribution that works better with laptops then I will happily make that happen for a mere $1 million a year and you will not be associating your brand with white supremacy in the process please enquire for references and my credentials
@joenash increasingly depends where you are. If you’ve got a local fibre provider they’re usually pretty good from what I’ve seen, otherwise Zen will provide the same service everyone else does over the same line but with support who know how to do more than read a script. Andrews & Arnold remain incredibly competent but somehow always feel like they begrudge having customers.
Has anyone in the EU tech policy space considered just making it illegal for services to charge more for MFA, SSO, audit log streaming, and break-glass/split privilege accounts?
If y'all are serious about improving SME security, that's an easy win.
Absolutely rampant ADHD this morning for reasons I can’t put down to anything other than maybe bad sleep two nights ago, or having had a very focused work week. I’ve done a great many things this morning but none of them have been what I planned to do because everytime I start a task I immediately veer off on a tangent.
@vampiress hashtag and allow muting, one of the great things about short form social media is the ability to proactively filter out things you’re not interested in.
