>>108512253It's that one specific government app that GrapheneOS dev listed on his site.It's tied to a phone with no browser alternative unfortunately
For those of you with experience, whenever you've bought a ThinkPad with a BIOS/supervisor password, does it always come with Computrace as well?

Once you try alacritty w/ tmux inside DWM or Hyprland, you never go back.
Not even a mailing list. Intellectually compromised. Stupid or hiding something.
>>108518123Has any work every been accomplished on this machine?
>>108516604I use alacritty tmux on sway. It works fine. I confess I can't see a lot of differences using other terminals. I just like that it's minimalist. And easy to setup.
>>108519318It's agitating, right. The lock is broken in version 6.13, apparently this is a recurring problem. I don't feel right giving this guy anything to do with my passwords. He asking people to trust him in the same way a scammer would. He might as well be telling "I break into peoples houses and piss on their cats! It's totally fine!"
>>108518311> you can use your window manager to spawn terminals with the specific layout you want.Or you just use a single tmux session and spawn windows for each task you do whilst being in fullscreen. You see all open windows in the statusbar and their names. You can’t do this in a TWM, instead, you’d have to mod + tag to specific workspaces rather than knowing that all terminals are in workspace 1 inside tmux.
are pc speakers still a thing? i don't want to wear headphones on my head all day like some call center employeebut when i search for PC speakers there are barely any for saleam i supposed to drop hundreds of dollars on an audio interface and some proper speakers or is there some middle ground
>>108501126hey this is exactly the one I'm using with my DIY speakers, I hear no hiss at all idk what the other anons are sperging about. Then again if I bought pre-made monitors I'd go with active ones nowadays, if they are good enough for the ASR schizos they would surely be good enough for me

Is this actually a sound argument? Saying we only had the technology to land on the moon in the 1970's sounds really stupid and fuels disbelief no matter how you phrase it.

>>108518465anyone who manufactured parts for nasa knows there's a shitload of documentation. it would be impossible to lose it if it was indeed real
>>108519210>but I have to call bullshit on this.And then you proceed to give this incredibly dumb, 90 IQ take. You're not qualified to talk about rocketry, sit back and trust the science.
>>108519272>the documentation which is public is slightly different to how we know thingsNah, you don't get it. There are things that were never documented. At all. Not because everyone there was stupid. But because to make engineer's dream a reality, you need to actually mess around with a huge amount of complicated hardware and raw materials and invent processes that were often overlooked or ignored. Some of those were top secret. And some spicy stuff: some of them were literally stolen by Chinese and destoyed. And this is no joke, I think you can lurk for confirmation that such cases were real.> also, going to the moon was a heap of shit, nobody fucking ever cared about going to the moon Bullshit, everyone was scared shitless of artificial satelites. It was like the power of God. Adversary that always holds a load of unknown weapons over your head, every single day. A spy sattelite that can see objects you thought are kept secret, including ICBM silos.And reputation of the country mattere. In a world that was about to be split apart by two superpowers one just put a man in the outer space. And they were atheists. You do not understand how big it was and how much it mattered for the people of that era.> idk what this moon shit now is specifically aboutAfaik it's about mining materials you cannot get for cheap on Earth. Also processing them without oxygen etc.But it's sci-fi rn, not proven. Robots different nations send are mostly looking for valuable raw materials.I've seen some estimations from Chinese, they are literally looking to mine shit there and make profit over here, notihng more to it.

today was one of the weirdest encounters i’ve had at worki’m a supervisor at a company, and one of the employees i’ve been overseeing for about 4 months uses ubuntu on his work laptop. it was always a bit inconvenient since everyone else uses macs (company provided), so we’d have to deal with flash drives or uploads instead of just airdrop, but whatever — he got his work done so i didn’t careuntil todayi gave him something urgent to finish. came back after an hour and asked if he was done. he says he’s “having issues with his OS”we’re on a tight deadline, so i offer him a spare dell latitude to just get it done quicklythis guy straight up refuses and says “i don’t use this trash”at that point i don’t even care, i just tell him we need to finish the task NOW. he takes the laptop… and instead of doing the work, he starts trying to install ubuntu on itthat’s when i lost it. like actually what are you doing? you’re on the clock, we’re behind, and you’re reinstalling your favorite OS instead of doing your jobComment too long.

>>108519770it’s not that deep. in a mac based office people use airdrop for quick file transfers, and internal shares for everything else. different environments use different tools, not everyone’s workflow is the same as yours

>>108519776i didn’t make the rules, that’s just how the company operates
>>108519798sure, whatever helps you sleep at night, buddy
>>108519770idk what you’re on about, we too have mostly macbooks at work and people use airdrop for quick stuff all the time. it’s not some crazy concept

What distro should I install on this old thinkpad I have from 10 years ago? I’m just looking to use it as a Linux lab of sorts, fucking around with systems stuff like QEMU, initrds, custom kernel modules, networking, PXE, etc. Not sure if any one distro is better than another for this purpose but basically looking for something lightweight and will work well with my old hardware, just werks as I’m not a ricer but rather using this to learn about system internals, and also not locked down in annoying ways that will make it more difficult to play with the stuff I want
weird how smart engineers always need a dumbass visionary to make them useful
>>108518183>weird how smart engineers always need a dumbass visionary to make them usefulI wouldn't say it's always, but the problem with engineers is that they overestimate their importance and don't take the time to foster relationships with people. If you're not capable of effectively communicating with the common man, then you'll always be shit at business dealings. Elon is an outlier in all regards though. You can try to shit on him for doing or saying dumb things from time to time, but he is more capable than most people on the planet and he certainly knows more about tech/science than your average CEO.

Why are you not using OpenBSD? It is the most secure operating system on the market.
>>108519245It is known as stable. But it is backdoored by NSA (no shit), so not the most secure.

>>108519377I wish it was an /x/ thing. But no.Also when something is backdoored, you don't really know who is going to use it. Imagine they leaked info about it. Similar to how it happened with Snowden, but not publically this time.

Since every programming language is shit, let's make our own programming language.
>>108518982>>108517850the syntax is clunky as hell: retarded keywords, retarded assignments and assignment operator, no UFCS, has to write the type twice in some casesno metaproamming or compile time executionno proper modules and module parametersprimitive type system, no type inferencethose alone disqualifies it as modern and ergonomic>>108518991Wow, "brainlet" was accurate.
>>108518982I hate this lack of clarity in exporting semantics. Instead of a formal method, we use an uppercase or lowercase letter which is difficult to distinguish, but Go has more important issues.
Programming languages are a solved technology. Just look at Rust.
>>108519069>t. Can't program without training wheels
>>108519184LMAO. No.
