@fribbledom It's supposed to be a test on if you're going to be a good warehouse worker or not.

@fribbledom Social media marketing is definitively nowhere remotely close to easy, especially if you have social anxiety and need regular breaks from social interaction. Unpopular opinion? PS4 & Xbox One and their de-facto always-online requirement heralded the end of good video games. All we get now are broken releases which require multiple patches to fix them and crappy micro-transactions. @fribbledom Unpopular? This has been the biggest criticism since day one, and it's proven itself right. The most common piece of furniture in the world, the Monobloc chair. A masterpiece and a disease. So it's official, it seems: Musk is now the new owner of Twitter and immediately fires a bunch of executives.

@fribbledom I wonder how much farther down the toilet The Bird Site will go now. I'm sure he's going to push hard for section 230 reform so he will be responsible for his user's content. He said he is going to make Twitter open source so that all of his users will play by the same rules.
@fribbledom thx for the welcome!(still a bit overwhelmed by choices) musk is exactly the ... person I always thought he was, nauseating creep.

If you dual boot Linux and Windows on your machine, be careful with the most recent Window updates! Microsoft disabled more than 100 SecureBoot signatures and locks out distros like Ubuntu 20.04 or Manjaro from booting on your computer. You can temporarily disable SecureBoot in your BIOS settings, should you already be affected by this situation.

@fribbledom Source for this? The UEFI revocation list is hardcoded and the only thing I can find is these reported CVEs https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/microsoft-blocks-uefi-bootloaders-enabling-windows-secure-boot-bypass/ @fribbledom tbh thats why i gave up on dualboot. All my pcs are running only linux now :laughing_cirno:
@fribbledom the Windows updates shouldn't change anything about this on an existing machine β the keys for this are hardcoded. However, one should be wary of new hardware or firmware updates no longer having the keys hardcoded. I faintly remember a time when companies tried to succeed by developing outstanding products that conquer the market by merit. These days development seems almost irrelevant, everything is optimized to extract the most cash from the cheapest, often white-labelled, products. And on the consumer side? When did we go from "best value for money" to "cheapest whatever it takes". With the advent of the internet? Social media? Amazon? I really can't tell anymore π€

@fribbledom Probably because if it's gunna be crap anyway what's the point in spending more? Vicious cycle. @fribbledom and what's worse is if the product is defective, chances are you can't refund or exchange because it's no longer available for special order so you have to live with it. @fribbledom cheapest* @fribbledom @YlBi In 2022 Rust Killed the Golang Star. π π π We released gum yesterday, which lets you enhance your shell scripts with a user-friendly TUI, complete with dialogs, prompts, lists, and selections. if you're into scripting or crafting immensely powerful shell one-liners, you should honestly check out the README, there are a ton of amazing examples:

@fribbledom Just like how AI is everything people don't know about computers combined with everything they don't know about... well, anything.
@fribbledom I agree.
@fribbledom Chatbots are everything people don't know about computers combined with everything they don't understand about communication.
