  • Petkauskas’s article describes the discovered breach as “a plethora of supermassive datasets, housing billions upon billions of login credentials” that have been sourced from “social media and corporate platforms to VPNs and developer portals.” This data is sourced from “30 exposed datasets” that researchers say contains “tens of millions to over 3.5 billion records each.”

    To be clear, this is not a new data breach, or a breach at all, and the websites involved were not recently compromised to steal these credentials

    Regardless of whether this involves freshly leaked credentials or not, it might be a good time to freshen up your logins. Hackers’ jobs are getting easier by the day.


  • Hey, I was fired last July and I went through the same process, I actually asked a similar question on Lemmy and the feedback I received helped a tonne in landing more interviews.

    Here are the steps I believe helped me:

    1. Make sure your CV is machine parseable, search for open resume, upload your cv see what it detects. Ideally, generate your CV using that tool.
    2. Create your own portfolio website, here is mine for reference https://souperk.gr/ (I have a public repository, feel free to copy if CSS isn’t your strong suite)
    3. Check that toggle on LinkedIn to signify you are actively searching atm (don’t remember how, but you should see a ribbon on your avater if it’s active)

    For me, landing more interviews was the hard part. Once I got a few interviews going, landing an offer was easy.



  • I like Arc’s user experience with vertical tabs. They are bigger, easier to organize and they are cleaner. Also, the sidebar toggle is hard to work with, ideally I would prefer the ability to toggle with a shortcut or reveal on hover.

    Aside Arc, Zen browser has a good vertical tab experience.

    Overall, I still main firefox for my personal browser, though it’s UX is still lacking.

    It helps to think about this as a spectrum, as more features become available more people will make the switch to Linux. Not everyone will be able to swich to Linux at the same time, and some people will never switch.

    Gaming was major bottleneck, even I, a person using Linux full time for the past 20 years, I used to maintain a Windows disk to play games. Only in the past couple of years I was able to sunset my windows setup, hopefully to never touch windows ever again. I had to drop a couple of games but it got to the point where rebooting to a OS wasn’t worth it, as most of my games worked flawlessly without any tweaking.

    There are many major pros to the Linux desktop environment, but we still need major software applications to become portable. The workflow of an average office worker is still not Linux compatible. Of course there are office alternatives, but they are not as easy to use. Though, IMO the oss world is hurting by trying to copy ms when their products are so horrible… Hopefully, the EU will drop some major cash at the issue with all these talks about digital sovereignty.



  • Are you high? 🤣 Jokes aside, I would be interested to know why you are asking these questions.

    1. Yes, I am intelligent, a lot of people have been impressed by the speed I digest a new piece of information.
    2. I have wisdom to know that intelligence plays a very insignificant part in shaping my identity. As for putting my intelligence into good use, I am not sure I can answer yes. I am too idealistic for my own good.
    3. IMO humans are unique and similar at the same time. Though, we got to be careful when trying to identify our similarities (see biopolitics, especially M. Foucault).

  • IMO we need to break it in a few independent but cooperating decentralized systems;

    1. A transportation service where consumers will request the transportation of goods or people from point A to point B, and providers will make bids for those requests.
    2. A storage service where providers will offer storage of goods at specific locations, and consumers that make requests for the storage.
    3. A LC service, where two parties can enter an letter-of-credit (LC) contract, and providers can guarantee the contract.

    If these systems are available, it would be possible to implement additional decentralized services like;

    • Marketplaces.
    • Passenger transportation services.
    • Food delivery.
    • Probably many more.
