You should have told him to pull over to let you out, not paid him, and reported him. Bonus points to have recorded evidence first.

Assholes like this, regardless of their current situation, hard times or not, should not be allowed to continue doing this. If I go into work, and push code into production without reviews and approvals, I lose my job or at least get reprimanded. Nothing excuses the behavior you’ve described.

I’m really excited about the budding relationship between Steam and Arch. The Steamdeck has already been invaluable in adoption and progression, and now their serious. The future appears bright here.

Yes. I did use Harris for a little bit before switch to Arch. It was a good easy for me to test before jumping all in.

Manjaro might have been my first step into Linux last year, but it was brief and I switched to Arch. It was brief enough that I didn’t remember if that’s what it was. Glad I made the switch, but a non GUI installation is not for most people.

Edit: Nvm, I used Garuda. I was reminded in another comment. A good stepping stone to experience Arch and KDE.

I hate being the, “I use Arch” guy, but it’s really been a great experience for me with KDE. Minimal issues after a complicated first time setup, but it’s absolutely been worth it. For anyone that’s pretty decent with computers already, and can understand the documentation, I would recommend trying it out. I just converted a laptop the other day to Arch and used archinstall for the first time. It did pretty well other than a couple of small tweaks that most users would never know about in fstab relating to SSDs and LUKS encryption.

There’s a steep learning curve, but it’s made me learn a lot about the Linux operating system and a lot about computers in general.

There was another post on here about Manjaro taking about going opt out on some things that to me is a deal breaker. EndeavorOS has been mentioned a decent amount for a more user friendly Arch based distro. I can’t personally speak about it, but just a little extra but for others going through here.

Sam Reich, Brennan Lee Mulligan, Hank Green to name a few. Also Kyle Gass both for what he said in Australia, but then for deleting his public apology shortly after posting it.

That’s fair. My next build will be AMD. I only switched to Linux the past December, and I already had my gear, so it is what it is for now. Further, my case is too small for new GPUs, so I’m riding my 2080ti to the end.

True, but Nvidia has come a long way and I believe announced support in the recent months, but don’t quote me on the last part. I have a desk and laptop both with Nvidia GPUs, and I don’t have any issues. Wayland did not work until 4-6 months ago, but everything is pretty stable now.

Broadcom

I would, but a built a SFF build two years ago that supported my 2080ti. Now, no new cards will fit in my case. I ride it til it dies, but I can run Wayland as of about a month ago, so that’s nice.

Sounds like boning dudes is right up your (or their) alley.

Kill them with kindness. Be direct and to the point, but make them hate you more because you’re too nice. That way, if they want to talk shit about you, all they can say is that you’re too nice.

As someone else mentioned, if you screwed up, make amends, then the kindness thing.

Cyber security is a very complicated field. There are an infinite number of ways that someone could have breached security. It could have been and statistically was a social engineering attack.

There are software vulnerabilities all of the time that can be exploited for access. Recently SSH was discovered to be vulnerable across all Linux machines running at least a certain version of SSH. It didn’t require the victim to do anything but be online.

Microsoft had a zero day that required no interaction that could give kernel level access to a users computer with them knowing.

Neither of those are likely the culprit, but ATT is a large company that has valuable data that hackers wouldn’t mind putting extra effort into getting. At my current company that works with healthcare information, the number of attempts on us this year, that we are aware of, has more than tripled from all of last year.

Point being, some was probably negligent in that they clicked a bad link in an email, gave away something sensitive of a phishing call, or some other social engineering attack, because humans are often the weakest point in cyber security.

Historically, how many of these days breaches have been linked to an inside person? The answer is almost none. Your first point is correct that someone (s) was likely was negligent, but your second point is tin foil bullshit. Maybe if there was any indication of foul play, the accusation has merit, but there’s been none. Like almost all other breaches, it was likely a third party.

Yep. If you ever shared a political opinion, that could put you on someone’s naughty list. If that someone gets a position of power and decides they want to attack, well, you could be the next metaphorical Palestinian.

I’m saying that picking android to flash a custom ROM is still picking a side. It’s a valid answer to the original question. I was just being cheeky.

Who’s phone did you buy and what stock OS was on it?

You chose.

I think that intune has the same control over Android as it does iOS. One a device is enrolled, it can be wiped and sandboxed apps can be approved or denied. I’m not sure about pushing apps to phones, I think the end user had to download it still. Regardless, is not about Microsoft and it’s control, it’s about China and their control, and Apple gets on their knees and opens wide.

The artist does have a choice in that they can play at a live nation venue and work through Ticketmaster, or they can find a new career because live nation has a monopoly on venues as well as ticketing. So in reality the only artists that have a choice are the Taylor Swifts that are essentially market makers, and the nobodies that aren’t selling tickets anywhere but at the door anyway.

That’s the nature of monopolies. Yes, if all artists banded (no pun intended) together and told live nation to fuck off, it would work, but getting everyone to do it won’t ever happen. So unfortunately, you have to play the game or get out. Ideally, existing laws would prevent this from happening, but our law makers and enforcers are a bunch of money hungry, corporate sluts, so we end up with this broken system.
