Yes? I’m forming my opinions based on reporting. You’re basing your opinions based on opinions.

Again I’m not saying you’re wrong. Look at the information Snowden revealed. Before the reveal it was conspiracy theory. Now it’s fact.

This reporting isn’t fact, it’s reporting in progress. At the moment it doesn’t find the always listening allegation to be true, but not impossible either.

It’s not trusting Big Tech, it’s understanding that Little Tech can also lie.

Cox Media Group wants to hype up their product and use AI buzzwords. To be seen as reliable they say that they work with Google, Amazon, Facebook, etc.

The report is basically CMG saying they can do X, and everyone else calling bullshit. (And in response CMG clarifying “No, we don’t actually do that” and then also removing the companies they don’t actually work with.)

It isn’t definitively saying they don’t, but also isn’t saying that they do. You can assume the worst if you like, but that doesn’t mean the worst is actually true.

Is it possible this type of spying exists? Yes. Is it possible this is a cover up? Yes. Do we have actual data to support that? No.

Tomorrow an investigation may reveal otherwise, but for now it doesn’t seem to be the case.

In some ways the Board being the same is a good thing, since it means they remember that they can’t try to pull this shit again.

Of course it also means they had (or supported) the stupid idea, so they’ll probably try to pull something similar again.

Really no matter what it means keep an extra eye on Unity. When it comes time to evaluate engines this incident should always show up on the con side.

I definitely missed this. As someone who was a huge fan of Doom Patrol I was excited for a spin off and continuation. I was bummed when I learned about the recasting, but still excited.

I’ve been waiting for it to appear on HBO, only to find out it was on Netflix.

I use flat case most of the time, but I also try to stick to single word files so there is no case to get in the way.

I think for documents I might share like a PDF I’d use Pascal case.

In a classroom or teaching setting I will sometimes use Kebab case as I find it is the least confusing and makes it extra clear where the word division is. Similarly I avoid Dot notation since it’s confusing for folks coming from a Windows world.

And I would avoid Screaming because that’s just too loud anywhere.

Dunk & Egg only works if people are excited about the world. After Game of Thrones that excitement dropped, heavily. Luckily HOTD has dragons, big exciting dragons. It also happens to have a story, at least in season 1, that brought back the excitement and intrigue that GOT season 1 had.

Season 2 of HOTD was still enjoyable, but ended two episodes early. That was a huge unnecessary gamble by HBO in order to save a few bucks.

Dunk & Egg are going to start at a disadvantage as a result. It’s a small scale. Luckily the first story, the one they are adapting, is the best story and should be able to keep folks interested.

Oh! 🐙🐙🐙

LMAO I still don’t know how to answer, but I was a Tav halfling if that helps.

Wood Block?

It would have been rude to deny him. I stand by my decision.

New lems can’t asterim?

Game of Thrones ended absolutely terribly.

I swore I wouldn’t watch House of the Dragon.

I caved and watch it. I really enjoyed it.

Dunk & Egg, especially the first story, is my favorite spin off. I’m excited to give this a watch.

Goof Troop?

Top down co-op puzzle adventure game. Name another game like it. (Seriously, I want to play more.)

I’ve never heard that before and find it baffling.

Bulbasaur comes out of the gate with two types.

Charmander becomes Charizard with two types.

The first (or second) non-starter you encounter is Pidgy with two types.

The required Viridian Forest had Weedle with two types and if you only got a Caterpie, that becomes Butterfree who also has two types.

The number of two type Pokemon that you can catch at the start of the game is massive. Probably about half?

She went from relatively small roles to starring in an HBO TV show (albeit for less than one season) to a lead role in a comic book film franchise. That’s a huge leap.

As long as the film is just OK she’ll do fine and set herself up for plenty more work. Look at Daisy Ridley, Star Wars is obviously a bigger franchise and the films with her were poorly received (generally) but everyone recognizes it wasn’t her fault and now she’s got plenty of films lined up.

Also look at the terrible Sony Marvel films, Tom Hardy did two (soon three) of those, Jared Leto & Matt Smith did Morbius, Aaron Taylor-Johnson & Russell Crowe have Kraken coming out. Those are sizable actors doing terrible films, I’m confident they got paid. (Also Dakota Johnson & Sydney Sweeney will be in Madame Web, smaller actors but money for sure.)

In general taking the big franchise is a safe bet. It used to be safer in MCU land, but still safe. DC you have to hope, but at least Gunn has a good track record so far.

I just hope Larry David isn’t retiring. Maybe he can just jump back into the “character” whenever he’s bored.

To add, that same season they already killed Glenn.

He dies, but the show doesn’t really address it. The characters do, but the show at this point was SUPER clear when a character died. Extra slow motion, special music, the works. Then they spend like 6 episodes with him dead, but you really just don’t believe it. Then they reveal how he survived and it’s just ridiculous, it’s basically “the zombies just sorta give up for some reason”. (Or is it like a dozen headshots, I forget at this point).

Anyway, ALL that happens, then the season ends on a big cliffhanger. Unfortunately the tension is all wrong. The show was moving at a glacial pace where basically if you watched the season opener, the mid-season finale (see, above) and the finale, you’d be mostly caught up on the story. And so this finale robbed us of that too.

Also the Internet was full of spoilers saying it was Glenn (from the comics) such that all excitement was lost between seasons.

That’s a link to the most recent release of Firefox and the security vulnerabilities that were fixed.

You’ll notice the first one listed says, “This issue could allow an attacker to perform remote code execution and sandbox escape.”

So if you visited a site that exploited that bug, it escaped the sandbox and ran whatever code it wanted to. Since you were running as root it could do anything it wants. Your device is now the property of someone else. Potentially all your data has been stolen. You probably didn’t even notice.

Now. Realistically. You probably didn’t get exploited. Your device may not be vulnerable to that particular bug. But new bugs are found, and fixed, and created every day. Can you be sure you weren’t exploited?

Let’s look at it a different way. Think of it like driving a car with no seatbelt or airbags. As long as you don’t crash, you’re fine. The car still works fine without seatbelts and you have more freedom to move your arms around.

Let’s look at it a different way. Do you ever lock the door to your home/apartment? Heck do you even close the door? Why not leave it wide open?

At the end of the day security is about layers and the trade offs for convenience. You can run KDE as root, and you can run Firefox as root. You’ll probably be fine. It’s like driving without a seatbelt or leaving your front door wide open, but you can do it. If you do drive with a seatbelt and at least close your front door, you can probably run KDE and Firefox as a regular user.

Looks like he was going to play “Sentry” and be the villain of the film.

I wonder if the character has been rewritten.

For example it was originally pitched as a one off villain, but now they want it to be a more reoccurring role. Yeun may not be interested in taking on that level of scheduling challenges.

I do agree that it’s interesting to look at, but the reasoning here seems plausible.

But isn’t that the “I” in UBI? Income. Cash?

You give people cash with the idea that they know how best to utilize it. You simplify all other forms of assistance (SNAP, rent assistance, etc) and just give everyone cash.

Yes, some people will still need more assistance until they can figure out how to best utilize that money, but the idea is that will not be the majority.

And to clarify it is not “just that easy”, but that’s the general concept as I understand.
