#Arch Users just want one thing and it is fucking disgusting.

the computers our students use are Windows 10 laptops with one administrator account

one of the students logged into his Microsoft account to download Minecraft. apparently, this tied his Microsoft account to the singular admin account. this has also now tied his parents' "screen time usage restriction" to the laptop.

the laptop now no longer works until 7 am tomorrow....

someone said "there is no reason not to read it."

i disagree. there is no reason to read them (or laws for that matter.) why? because rule sheets only matter as much as the people who enforce them. and enforcers tend to selectively decide who rules apply to and can be very adept at mental masturbation to get out of even the most strictly written rules.

for instance the US constitution says "congress shall enact no law abridging freedom of speech or of the press." that's a pretty bulletproof sentence, but they've jerked themselves off that "well uh, bad speech doesn't count as speech and so that's why we can violate that sentence!"

written codes are just cover your ass measures from people who want to appear to have a diplomatic face, so they can shrug behind paper documents when their decisions are criticized. there is no point in reading one; you will not get unbanned because you argued a loophole in an admin's paperwork. just like reading a law does nothing but false security, because a judge can just decide to ignore it and even knowing the current "precedent" means very little since they can flip flop on that too.

Matrix would be very good if synapse wasn't a piece of garbage.

My boss asked me for some work account's password once. "I don't know," I said, "I don't know any of my passwords. I use a password manager and passwords that exceed 32 characters if possible."

My boss thought that was silly. Today, breaking a SHA-256-encoded hash for a 12-character password takes less than an hour.

Services that limit password length give away hints about their shoddy password hashing practices. Do not trust them.

Understand my words with full knowledge and reverence for my connection to the void.

My data is not yours to own.

You came here and asked to sell us things, then tracked us with the things you sold us.

You came here and begged for trust, which many gave you, then betrayed it by selling our secrets.

Then you took away our nation.

My data is not yours to own.

This is a thing of beauty. The met police Twitter account got hacked

Why is software created using taxpayers’ money not released as Free Software?

* Tax savings: Similar applications don't have to be programmed from scratch every time.

* Collaboration: Major projects can share expertise and costs.

* Serving the public: Applications paid by the public should be available for everyone.

* Fostering innovation: With transparent processes, others don't have to reinvent the wheel.

So here you have the full picture now: #PGP doesn't work and never will. Stop recommending it, stop organizing key signing parties, you aren't helping anybody doing that. Just put it to grave instead.

My cellphone company just texted to ask me if I, and I quote, 'need more data to gram my dish'

I'm not very familiar with kids today and their extremely online slang, but I assume they're asking me if I want to buy drugs using Bitcoin

guys...

@nandemoguy , our fellow townie, is the force behind hackerscurator.com

They are selling some neat stuff now for fans of the film.

I would advise taking a look.

That Lord Nikon shirt has my attention... But so does Curtis' JVC shirt.
