One of the hardest parts when switching to Linux was learning to use the command line and shellscripts instead of relying on "power tools" for everything. It's a very different mindset from the Windows world, but once you adjust it's a lot more pleasant. I feel like telling people that "Linux is exactly like Windows now" is counterproductive. Sure, you can try to use Linux like Windows, but it's a miserable experience.

Amazon cares about your security. Which is why their next step will be to also remove fraudulent, dangerous or IP infringing products from amazon.com. Right?

Finally a way to enjoy the Willow remake!

Should've been fired for creating Javascript.

The worm scans the drive for a folder, creates an .lnk file with the same name and an icon that makes it look like a folder and renames the original folder to something else. The .lnk links to powershell with the payload passed as a command line argument. It's not that easy to spot that something is off, especially since Windows hides extensions by default.

Coq was released in the nineties. But mathematicians hate it because it doesn't allow them to be sloppy. Well now they will be forced to do what they should've done three decades ago.

To be fair, even just a tool that can search the literature for solutions of similar problems is extremely useful.

I mean, the Play Store has always been flooded with shovelware, AI may actually raise the average quality.

Most cars are QNX based which is proprietary.

The applications are easy to duplicate. The hard part are the custom drivers which are part of the kernel due how Linux works. Once you have those you can replace Visio's crap with a custom ROM.

While it can happen to any IDE, most serious IDEs like Eclipse have a pretty well organized repo, VSCode is an outlier with its addon market being a free for all. I normally prefer freedom, but given how much damage a malicious addon can cause I feel like some moderation is warranted here.

Wonder if this sets a precedent in the suit against Zuck.

I'm surprised how rarely infrasound emissions are measured. The health effects are well known, and it wouldn't surprise me if the symptoms of most "EM sensitive" people were actually caused by infrasound coming from a crappy antenna.

How about not putting sensitive data into notifications in the first place? Signal needs to decide if it's a security app or a trendy chat app.

You gotta spend money to spend money.
