wahming,

Are you expecting them to be based in Xinjiang? I’m sure the Chinese govt would love that

wahming,

Given I live in Europe, I should think so. Regardless, is there a reason they CAN’T be in the states?

NASA+ Streaming: NASA announces ad-free, no-cost streaming service granting access to their Emmy Award-winning live coverage and views into NASA’s missions through collections of original video series (www.nasa.gov)

NASA is elevating its digital platforms for the benefit of all by revamping its flagship and science websites, adding its first on-demand streaming service, and upgrading the NASA app. With these changes, everyone will have access to a new world of content from the space agency....

wahming,

As usual, the article manages to confuse and conflate anti-semitism with anti-israeli.

Iran fires drones, missiles at Israel in first-ever direct attack; IDF downing them (www.timesofisrael.com)

Iran on Saturday night launched a large wave of attack drones from its territory toward the Jewish state, in the first-ever direct attack on Israel by the Islamic Republic, with warning sirens activated in Israeli communities throughout the country early Sunday as the military worked to intercept the Iranian aircraft....

wahming,

This is the desired consequences of his actions. This is how he stays in power and out of jail.

wahming,

And most likely taking a million things out of context

wahming,

At this point we should just rename the community to InsaneSovCits. Not that I don’t get a chuckle out of the posts

wahming,

… What. I don’t even know where to start with that. Ecological conservation is about money?

wahming,

Because people wouldn’t support spending their taxes on it without making them aware of the value. Which is done by educating them.

wahming,

Generating awareness and sympathy is probably the biggest factor in keeping many endangered species alive

wahming,

I guess that explains why she’s giving it away

wahming,

It’s definitely a medical room like the other commentor said. Most likely for somebody with long term limited mobility. Everything they need within 5 minutes of slow moving. I’ve had relatives who would have lived in rooms like this if they could have.

wahming,

So… Was he supposed to jab her in her eye?

wahming,

… This is a horrible day to have eyes

Passkeys might really kill passwords (www.theverge.com)

Passkeys: how do they work? No, like, seriously. It’s clear that the industry is increasingly betting on passkeys as a replacement for passwords, a way to use the internet that is both more secure and more user-friendly. But for all that upside, it’s not always clear how we, the normal human users, are supposed to use...

wahming,

Can somebody help me understand the advantages of passkeys over a password manager? Googling just brings up tons of advertising and obvious self promotion, or ELI5s that totally ignore best passwords practices using managers.

wahming,

I agree. However if you look through the other comments in here, you’ll see a LOT more examples of stuff that fall into the “it just doesn’t work” category instead. And most of them are a lot more obvious to casual / new users. Those would be the ones that really require priority if Linux is ever to become mainstream.

wahming,

Because, please don’t make that recommendation to anybody else. Of all the places for somebody to start contributing to open source, linux is probably among the top in complexity. And if it’s a new user, as per the original topic of this post, and they can’t figure out their issue from the million guides online, you’re just ensuring they make a speedy return to windows.

wahming,

proprietary, corporate-backed desktop

But how does that differ from Fedora or Ubuntu, besides popularity?

wahming,

Yeah, honestly given the time this has been at play I’m surprised nobody has tried to do that type of full control integration besides Google. Given how well ChromeOS and especially Android worked as platforms why hasn’t… I don’t know, Valve? Adobe? Apple, even? tried to create a major desktop PC take on Linux that does have the type of support and sensible UX you want out of the box?

wahming,

You’re suggesting that every user should learn programming. All 8 billion people. How do you not see the ridiculousness of that suggestion.

wahming,

The guy who was arrested and detained for 3 months by the Chinese govt is using his freedom of speech to complain how the west has just as little freedom of speech?

wahming,

Methinks it’s not Jenkins that needs to figure out how time works, it’s the cartoonist
