We do not appreciate it if former employees post confidential information about the inner workings online, even after leaving The Company.

That incident will be examined.

You install unsolicited code on something other than a VM that contains no sensitive information, running on a computer you will wipe after the interview, on a connection that isn't physically separated from the rest of your network?

Sorry, your security conscience is not at the level we require.

Patching other programs' memory was a feature in those days. It did make the system quite insecure of course, but it was already quite insecure. Meanwhile it let you do fun tricks. The Amiga was another platform where the lack of memory protection was a virtue. On the other hand, it also made it infeasible as a general purpose computing system going forwards. We did have some pretty good virus scanners, but we needed them.

I am running XFCE and Compiz on a system with a 4060. It's lovely. The animations could be a little smoother, but I am absolutely loving the high quality mipmaps that are missing from KDE. You can really see what is going on in the icon hover previews. My CPU is a 1600 AF (Pinnacle Ridge) which is pretty poky by modern standards, but it was replacing a FX-8350.

Now I just need to finish building avant-window-navigator. The XFCE4 dock is pretty meh. The fucking clock stopped updating for over an hour this morning...

I think most people follow brands and don't think. They don't wanna think. It's tiresome. Maybe they have to do it at work and then they wanna let their brain rest, most of them don't seem to think much at work either though.

Japanese cars have been the best on the planet since they first got their shit together in the late eighties, except for this brief moment where Tesla has had the best EVs because they were the first to put together a bunch of available technologies in a convincing way. Anyone who had R/C cars could tell you that it was time to do it. We just didn't all have emeralds in our pockets.

What is your plan for what to do when they aren't able to meet that responsibility? You need to have one, it's all of our responsibility, "Simple as that."

You want to pass judgement, but I'm betting you don't have a plan for how to make things better. I can have respect for ideas, but not for a lack of them.

I guess I speak for the assembled when I say "so do we".

You say less hard working, I say harder to exploit for your gains.

Google is a known member of unconstitutional citizen spying program PRISM operated by the NSA.

Noble? Nah. I'm just done trying to keep a planet habitable for dimwits who can't be assed to do it themselves, even though they are the ones that will suffer when (not if) it is FUBAR.

Ok, YOU explain why they would rather shut it down and get $0 than sell it and make some money. Remember, your explanation has to make sense, you can't just repeat whatever their PR department is saying.

Let's add some turds to the dumpster fire, it's not like it matters anymore anyway.

You can't see why a corporation would say things that aren't true?

KDE3 is the one I like to describe as an explosion in a widget factory.

4 had promise but didn't develop it until it became 5.

5 has a bad bug with wine programs, some of them will only run in the background. Haven't tried to see if 6 has the same problem...

What is the point to this? You better ban all pens, pencils, crayons, paints, etc because they can all be used to create a nude of anyone you want.
