In Singapore, lots of boomers are downloading scam apps from facebook lured by promises of discounts and free gifts, handing out accessibility privileges, and they'll even argue vehemently against loved ones and bank staff when confronted. When it all inevitably blows up, they blame absolutely everyone except themselves, including praising Apple for some reason.

Being the largest voting block, they managed to get banks responsible for reimbursing their losses and there was even an idea floated of getting everyone to contribute to a shitty scam insurance fund. Many major banking apps are paranoid af and block usage from simple things like usb debugging turned on.

Absolutely stupidity. And there's nothing we can do about it when the politicians love them so much.

Do you know if any tachi forks have bulk migration? I'm on aniyomi and it only support migrating individual titles. Given entire manga sites can collapse overnight, bulk migration is becoming an important feature.

NixOS consist of a bunch of options that you define using the nix programming language. Since it's a programming language, everything is well defined and organised into single place.

Technically, someone could build a GUI configuration editor with sane defaults and clearly organised pages of settings, which generates a configuration for you. This could immediately change NixOS from the most tedious to a relatively easy to use distro.

They do, several third party options and of course the Microsoft store too. It's the users who are stuck in their old ways, which ironically is the harder way. Weird.

He has a degree in industrial engineering according to Wikipedia, logical thinking should come naturally to him. My high school decades ago teaches logic gates for it's computer literacy curriculum. He might not be a programmer, but probably has exposure to these topics in general education.

I mean no offence to you. But education departments these days assume "kids have phones and iPads and must be computer geniuses" and stop teaching general computer courses. That's a problem.

At this point, I'm wondering if I should set up a shell company of some kind, just to buy commercial digital signage TVs. They require registering with a company just to be allowed to buy them.

I bet it's not about the internet, just the social media apps. Why not just uninstall the apps or tell the participants not to use them?

Maybe he's not American? Isn't that just an American thing?

Private company with long-term strategy VS public company chasing short-term profits to pump stock prices for shareholders.

This is perhaps more useful, serving as both checksum and data correction.

Not that it can fit in the blockchain though. At least from what little I know about blockchains, they can't possibly store any substantial amount of data.

Hector posting it to social media, and by his own admission, to shame the C devs, is pretty hostile and bad faith too. Imo it's the most overt occurrence of hostility here, but no one seems to mind? Are people just completely numb to social media hostilities or smth?

I really wanted to try developing for these. But after flashing my old poco F1 with postmarket os, the phone died instead. Now I can't justify buying a phone just for this.
