  • You are missing my point. If you have access to that data, you are already going to be killed no matter what you plan to do with it. You’re a loose end.

    There’s no incentive to keep quiet.

  • The only flash drive I ever had fail me that wasn’t made by sandisk was a generic microcenter one, which was so cheap I couldn’t bring myself to care about it.

  • Exactly. They are just going to keep on killing. So if you have access to that information it’s likely you are going to be snuffed out soon anyway. So leak it and enjoy the show.

  • Well it’s heavier and slower than native code and due in part to being an oracle technology people kind of avoid it anymore. It’s kind of a legacy language at this point.

  • I’ll bet they think this will be the end of it too.

    We are due for another Snowden.

  • Surely not!

  • This is the golden age of misinformation and you are bitching about citations?

  • He doesn’t get to decide how my conversations go. Fuck off.

  • If you can’t get it out legally, just do it illegally. What are they going to do, kill the leaker? They are already killing people anyway so there’s no safety in waiting.

  • The planet is dying, we have pretty much given up on even pretending to do anything about it, and the rich are using the time we have left before mass die offs to get AI up and running early enough to perfect it.

    Just a thought that occurred to me today. In better times I would dismiss it as nothing more than an amusing conspiracy theory but lately…

  • I can certainly understand holding grudges against corporations. I didn’t buy anything from Sony for a very long time after their fuckery with George Hotz and Nintendo's latest horseshit has me staying away from them, but that was a single firmware bug that locked down hard drives (note, the data was still intact) a very long time ago. Seagate even issued a firmware update to prevent the bug from biting users it hadn’t hit yet, but firmware updates at the time weren’t really something people thought to ever do, and operating systems did not check for them automatically back then like they do now.

    Seagate fucked up but they also did everything they could to make it right. That matters. Plus, look at their competition. WD famously lied about their red drives not being SMR when they actually were. And I’ve only ever had WD hard drives and sandisk flash drives die on me. And guess who owns sandisk? Western Digital!

    I guess if you must go with a another company, there’s the louder and more expensive Toshiba drives but I have never used those before so I know nothing about them aside from their reputation for being loud.

  • I think they were trying to lean too hard into the warring gamers battling it out, and the black woman represented the original PSP while the white woman represented the new white PSP, player 2.

    But they put it on a fucking billboard where the only context we have to go by is beating the shit out of a black chick. What they fuck did they expect people to think?

  • Like artistically I can see what they were aiming for with this but they not only failed to understand the medium and audience, but when the obvious interpretation came to their attention they did not fucking care.

    Just incredible.

  • Nothing. But this does it all in bulk instantly for free.

  • I actually really like how macOS handled full screen apps, with the windows 8 style side by side and a simple gesture flipping between them like pages in a book.

  • I'm surprised you didn't post that PSP ad with the white lady beating the shit out of the black lady....to promote the sale of a white PSP.

  • I’m looking at suse tumbleweed for an upcoming build. Ubuntu is getting obnoxious, mint is ugly and way behind on Wayland support and fedora I can’t really trust at this point as it’s a community version of a corporate American product. Like I could ignore the corporate stink before but -gestures broadly- not in this climate.

    I liked arch but now that bcacheFS is getting yanked out of the kernel I don’t really have a reason to manually do so much myself anymore.

  • This looks….abusable. I mean, the immich thing is nice but what’s stopping me from breaking into an iCloud account, dumping the photos into this and letting it tell me the best way to stalk someone?

    Also, Java in 2025 is an odd thing to see. What problem did using Java solve?

  • Dude, Luigi and I were playing twisted metal black that afternoon.

  • Hmm you’re right. It looks like it CAN draw more power but under the same load would draw less. How did I make that mistake? Thanks for correcting me.
