Obviously! Look at the current world leaders. We might as well try the dolphins.
I work in I.T. and am interested in every sub-field. I also study English, Spanish, German, French, Koine Greek, Latin, Mandarin & Swahili. I’m interested in human culture.
I like Linux, but mainly use Windows because of work. After 2025-07-01, I will be Penguin_1024@lemmy.sdf.org

Do not leave the holes. That way they won’t know it smells bad until it gets opened


I haven’t been on Reddit much since they banned 3rd party apps.


Lemmynsfw has a few sex workers, some of whom might not mind being called hookers I suppose. I’m not sure what community has blackjack.
Edit: Yes, I’m aware that it’s a Futurama quote.


The U.S. version certainly does.
Good point! Thanks for pointing that out.
But the things doing the testing could be bots instead of human actors, so it may very well be that no human does in fact know.
That is the real dead Internet theory: everything from production to malicious actors to end users are all ai scripts wasting electricity and hardware resources for the benefit of no human.


I’ve got mine set up to run somewhat like OS X, since I like the top bar and the disappearing dock. Modern Plasma is very customizable and easy to customize.
And make sure you save any important data on the Linux partitions, don’t just assume that /home or /sys will be there after the resize.


This is a good question. On your home network, that’s pretty easy. On other networks, setting up a VPN that tunnels to your network seems like it should work.


I’ll bet one of the exceptions is having a bunch of money.
That’s true. Let the largest BGP routers go down for 5 minutes and any demands the people who run them have would be met.
Ah, OK. Thank you! I hadn’t thought of that.
This isn’t even A.I., no matter what they call it. It’s OCR and an SQLite database. Honestly, they could have done it 25 years ago .


I’m not sure how it works in hotels. I guess it’s handled the same way as home WiFi, which is that it asks for ID


Louisiana was one of the first states to pass that kind of bill. They will ask for age verification if you’re on a wired connection, but not on a mobile one.


If you could mount it with the mount command, the drive is likely physically fine. My guess would be that something in PopOS didn’t mount the filesystem correctly. I’m not sure how PopOS handles automatically mounting drives. If it were a drive that was always connected, you could tell PopOS to mount it on every boot by putting the correct line in /etc/fstab


He had been on a whirlwind trip according to the headline. The headline might as well read “president has jet lag and isn’t quite sure of the time after traveling halfway around the world”. That’s a non-story and something a lot of people would experience
You fly over ~20,000 feet anytime you fly over a decent size city, since most people have 2 feet and 10,000 is not a large population.
