Ideally, a .mp4, or any other non-executable file format, would not be able to execute rogue code on your computer, but the programs you use to open the files with might have security flaws which allow rogue code execution if done right.
You might have a hypothetical file, which might not be dangerous if opened with VLC, but which exploits a flaw in, say, Windows Media Player version x.y.z to execute a payload.
Sorry, for not including any examples, I’m currently not at the PC.
This is the way!
Way simpler than using any GUI tool or somehow recreating the partition and manually copying the files.
Not sure if i understand the request, but there’s the [email protected] community if you’re looking for open signups.
Hadn’t actually noticed it was Mac first before you mentioned it, but no, if it works for Mac, then it likely also works for Linux (and that’s what counts, right?).
Contrary to my previous statement, I’ve actually tried downloading Zed. The first thing I noticed was the “sign in” in the top right corner. Feels rather unsightly, but no biggie. It appears to redirect to GitHub authorization, after which it fails with a “OAuthCallback”-error. Might be my fault, can’t remember if I’ve disabled or limited unnecessary functionality in GitHub.
The design feels slick and most options are hidden away or represented by only a small icon with tooltips. It appears that no advanced settings page exists, as nearly everything is handled in JSON (initially thought that a visual settings page must have been hidden away deep down somewhere, but that appears to be wrong).
Coop programming seems to be a big feature, but I’ll skip that as it appears to need setup.
Also, the LLM part is not nearly as prominent as their front page makes it out to be, rather feels like an option than a prominent or forced feature, so that’s really nice.
The included extensions (nice to have them as they’re no given) appear to focus on themes and syntax, can’t find any cross-development nor compilation related extensions which is just fine. Compilation is best handled in the terminal anyway.
Overall it feels pretty solid, definitely different from the first impressions of their page. Might be even better with more diverse extensions, though, I haven’t looked at the internet for unlisted extensions, and I’m not sure how old the project is (the extensions might just not be made yet).
There’s also no pop-ups, start pages with all kinds of featured content, nor settings or buttons that grab your attention away from your work (except the login button, perhaps. I would like to see what it looks like once logged in).
I’m probably missing most features as my GitHub integration fails, but I’m overall positively surprised.
Hmmm, the front page looks like they’re trying to sell a LLM code generator with additional QOL to businesses, and not a developer focused IDE or extensible text editor.
Definitely not something that catches my interest as a developer. Though, I haven’t tried it, so these are just initial impressions from reading their landing page.
Edit: also, why down vote the above? It appears perfectly relevant to the discussion. If you disagree, why not make a comment about it instead?
There has to be a law against such heretical actions somewhere! Even if it’s .00, this computer is an affront to order! I propose we burn it alongside those frivolous computers who think they can simply name themselves .0 or .255!
I feel that the question about citizenship is mutual. Either that, or perhaps it’s a question of comptence and ideality.
Im not sure about the property part, as the state appears to want to claim private land (in a rather indirect way through heightened taxes and reclassifications of property, such as making a 10 hectare farm into a “villa with garden”) with the excuse to use it for natural area, though it’s any body’s guess to what will actually happen.
I do agree on public transport, as it is anything but functional in its current state. The windmills are nice, but we can’t actually properly use those we’ve built so far and the politicians don’t seem to want to fix the problem, instead choosing to just build more. And yes, our politics are just a sad joke, both the right and left wings.
Though, I do disagree about the violence part. I’d love for every single politician to get kicked out of Christiansborg and replaced by people who hopefully don’t lie out of both ends, but if done using violence (and especially if done without the backing of the citizen, such as by a group who have made it their life goal to be hated by as many people as possible), then I cannot imagine it ending in anything but disaster.
I wish Denmark never gets an active presence of these groups. Oil, coal, and natural gas is irrefutably fatal and one has loads of reasons to despise those who lobby for it, but I despise those who cause terrorism (doesn’t matter if it’s destruction of cultural artifacts nor environmental disasters or indirect support and growth of oil, such as what Greenpeace is known for) with about equal amount.
Combating oil lobbies is extremely hard, albeit absolutely necessary, but I don’t think having the common populace hate you even more than they hate the lobbyists is a good first step.
Also, Denmark appears to already be trying to work towards solutions for a better, more green future using windmills and by reclaiming farmland for more natural zones (hopefully they don’t end up selling it to international farmers instead), but do indeed lack quite a lot behind on actual usefulness of all their hard work.
Regarding this, a lot of technology is not fully mature yet, we have windmills, yet are not sure how to properly maintain and decommission them in a proper manner. We have the tech, yes, but, as far as I’m aware, were currently facing much the same way as plastic. We CAN recycle plastic, but how much is really recycled? Also, do we commit to lithium polymer batteries which are very dirty, or do we attempt to use non-mature technologies such as hydrogen-pastes?
Huh, I’m not sure they are comparable.
Didn’t USB A and USB B use a master-slave relationship in which the male would (generally) always be the slave, whereas USB C uses agreement and discussion to decide the master and slave roles regardless of connector gender.
Please do correct me if I’m wrong. Also, do we say “agent” now instead of “slave”, or what is the new term?
Partly. A feed is typically a set of rules showing you only your interests and filtering out everything else, and within this subset you then go about choosing.
Ideally we would not only have “women\men\bi” categories, but also “orthodox (cis only)\regular(mixed)\frisky(trans only)” categories. Otherwise, we might run into the problems which Saltesc describes, now that being trans is becoming more commonplace.
There needs to be space for everybody (or “everybody whom I don’t mind” depending on who you ask, sad lol), but while choices always have some consequences, we need to be careful that our freedom of choice doesn’t become another’s choice of freedom. I think trans people are (sadly) very well acquainted with this.
I’ve heard of people who have complained about trans people showing up in their dating feed, mixed in with the cis population, being labelled as “transphobes” and harassed, but good to know that we’ve overcome that.
Yup, our everybody’s dear Ursula. I realize that Europe has many institutes and multiple unions, but I feel that the EU best represents Europe as a whole. And, of the multiple bodies the EU is made of, the European Commission often lays face to news and is said to hold the most “power”.
Yes, the USA is a master of making itself seem much more powerful and important than it really is, and what do news outlets love more than painting the devil onto the walls? Denmark living in the USA’s pocket doesn’t help much either.
At this point I wouldn’t be surprised if more Europeans know the presidents of China, Russia, and the USA than know the name of our own European prime minister, which would be pretty sad if actually true.
Of course it’s important to know what other countries are up to, and the EU is currently reliant on the USA for conflict handling (please make a joint European army), but unless you plan to intervene then I see no reason to fanatically follow their politics. Just tell me whether we’ll have to deal with some ancient inept dude, or another ancient inept dude who has managed to weaponize incompetence.
Welcome to my rock, i guess.
I’m vaguely aware that the USA is gearing up for another political tragedy, but who, living outside of the USA, actually follows that stuff? Can’t influence the outcome much either way if you can’t vote, except perhaps by spreading propaganda.
Could be worse, could be XBox. shudders
Couch co-op, split-screen, hotseat; Kingdom Two Crowns is nice. So is Darksiders Genesis, For The King, Moon Hunters, Trine, etc.
Always on the lookout for other good co-op couch games, especially with a good story, but I feel that they are few and far between. :(
Enshittification-wise it is both, since the current main reason for AI enshittification is the LLM enshittification bleeding out. But focusing on AI as a whole for being the problem would not be unlike “fuckcars” being called “fucktransportation”.
A new “fuckcars”-like community whose name doesn’t even target the source of their frustration? Neat.
Gamedevs, researchers, and factory engineers sitting in a corner mumbling something about “appropriation”.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. Microsoft’s and OpenAI’s hijacking of the term “AI” to mean “LLM”, and those who just blindly follow along and thereby help alienating those who work with AI (not LLM), are a sickness.
Hope the preview works right.
What really sets the Steam Controller (and the Steam Deck’s control layout) apart from the market are the dual touchpads and dynamically/easily programmable buttons. The above just looks like a reskinned XBox controller, and, if I read the article right, it needs a “companion app” to get full functionality out of the controller.
I hope that they at least made sure that the companion app works on the Steam Deck.
