• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨New Plague Linux malware stealthily maintains SSH access⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Calm down.

  This malware is a PAM module. Someone with root privileges has to install it.

  If you’re a random Linux user who doesn’t know what PAM is, you have no reason to install it.

  If you’re a sysadmin and you know what PAM is, you’d need to be diddling in the PAM stack for some reason, and if you come across that one, you’re not very likely to install it unless you really, really don’t know what you’re doing.

  The only way it could be distributed to a lot of Linux machine is through supply chain attack, and I’m pretty certain major distros watch very carefully any patches they onboard in ultra-sensitive system bits like PAM.

  Chrome is Google’s spyware and can fuck right off.

  If Chromium supports it however, I’m interested.

  White English man harms a child, silence.

  Prince Andrew is English and white, and he’s still making noise.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Man in court accused of lacing sweets with sedatives before summer camp children fell ill⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Why did he do this? Spite? Noisy kids? The article makes no mention of pedo shenanigans, and from what I gather, he poisoned the children but didn’t hang around waiting for them to fall asleep to take advantage of them. Weird…

  With this punishment, Bezos will eventually escape hell. That’s not fair to the rest of us.

  Zuckerberg can keep his dystopian digital world and shove it. My digital world is free of surveillance and doesn’t require AI anything - let alone glasses.

  He’s probably afraid she gets scammed online and losses all his inheritance money.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Have most people never seen a full starry night sky⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I live way up north in the boonies. My first neighbor is 5 miles from my place. Our sky is perfectly clear with zero light pollution. We get all the stars and the northern lights too.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨‘Sleepy’ Trump Struggles to Stay Awake as Dr. Oz Rambles⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  My boss used to tell me “If you can’t be functional at work on Monday, don’t party all weekend.”

  I guess the elderly fat orange buffoon can’t golf abroad then do his president job correctly. But he has no boss to send him home and withhold the day’s pay.

  Then again, it’s not like he’s been doing much presidential work anyway for the past 6 months.

  Family of Epstein abuse survivor urges Trump not to pardon Ghislaine Maxwell

  Aka “Please pedo-in-chief, don’t pardon your pedo friend!”

  Yeah… I can see that’s gonna work.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is Fediverse moderation, even more Draconian than Reddit?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Probably some tankie administrator of one community read your comment in another and decided to preemptively ban you. I’m banned from multiple tankie communities I’ve never even set foot in myself. Not that I care 🙂

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is Fediverse moderation, even more Draconian than Reddit?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  The solution is: when you get banned for no good reason, block the community - or the entire instance in extreme cases of craziness like Hexbear or Lemmygrad. Then it disappears from your Lemmy experience entirely and you never need be frustrated ever again.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is Fediverse moderation, even more Draconian than Reddit?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Did you get banned from tankie communities? Because that’s ridiculously easy. Those people are fucking crazy.

  Don’t fret it. View it as social Darwinism: whichever communities banned you for posting what you thought were reasonable comments, you probably don’t want to partake in anyway.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Wayland Will Never Be Ready For Every X11 User⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve switched to Wayland a few weeks ago on my new laptop and it took me quite a while to figure things out, but mostly it’s functionally complete for me compared to X.

  The main difference is mostly that it’s really complicated to achieve simple things in Wayland, like nesting Wayland servers or remoting Wayland sessions, but that’s mostly because there aren’t convenient, ready-made, universal solutions to do these things in Wayland yet - which, I agree, after 16 years of existence of Wayland, is utterly stupid.

  But after working on it for some time, it’s all there for me. The only thing that I really miss is a decent RDP server that works in Sway.

  Sirnak province is considered both part of Asia and Europe.

  What are you smoking?

  Kurdistan is not in Europe.

  Turkey is not in Europe.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Necromancers imply the existence of Necrowomanizers.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I hate to be that guy, but I will point out that “man” in English can mean both a male human and humankind in general.

  As in “Man is a wolf to man”: women too can be wolves and victims alike.

  Or “one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind”: womankind is definitely included here.

  Call it sexist. I even agree that it is. But the fact remains that, for historical and outdated patriarcal reasons, “man” in the English language, like in many others, does bear that meaning.

  As for “man” being in “necromancer”, I reckon it’s like “fun” being in “fungi”: you’re not interpreting it right 🙂

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AI video is invading YouTube Shorts and Google Photos starting today⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Youtube shorts - aka the Tiktokization of Youtube.

  I can’t stand the format. Luckily, they can be filtered out in third party players.

  I won’t wear the Facebook body-reading wristband because I don’t want creepy Zuckerberg reading my body - or anything else about me for that matter.

  So it’s like when the school bully suddenly gets up and leaves the chess club because some guy he doesn’t like is a member too, and everybody’s really happy because playing chess suddenly became a lot more enjoyable without that cretin around.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Americans could see their credit scores fall through floor soon⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I made it almost to retirement age without a credit score. But I freely admit it’s probably a luxury that isn’t afforded to younger folks.

  The title of the article somehow fails to convey that the “clashes” in question are entirely due to racists having an itch of racism they need to scratch.

  I don’t use them. I make the effort to remember my passwords - or rather, my recipes to recreate any complex passwords.

  The only safe storage form for your passwords is your noggin’. The next best thing is probably a password manager - although that depends on how trustworthy whoever coded it is - but it certainly isn’t as secure as using your brain if your brain works properly.
