Does homeboy not know about crabcakes? All the taste, none of the pain in the ass and paying for the privilege of preparing your own food. Just get them somewhere that doesn’t use filler.

And someone in your family at some point will take a picture of your kid and put it up on whatever the social media of choice is.

This is just called actually understanding your threat model and fully evaluating the controls available to you. Basic information security.

The most secure password policy in the world doesn’t matter if your users just write them down on sticky notes on their desks. Security on your end doesn’t matter if you’re sending the data to an insecure destination.

Same concepts apply to privacy.

I feel like that’s a stretch, and there’s some important things to consider here.

People are weird, and can fetishize all sorts of shit. There’s no reasonable way to control say, someone jerking off to pictures of hand models. Or to stop someone shlicking it to your shlubby beer gut at the beach photos you put up on social media if that’s their thing (and I know a woman who’s thing was “straight bears” for a long time).

But no one has any agency or ability to prevent that. No one has any agency to prevent any random person passing them on the street and then later using that memory plus imagination as cranking fuel.

For the sake of every individual’s personal sanity, I think it’s important that each and every one of us understand and accept that. Existing in the world is naturally giving up a certain amount of control. This is part of it, as disgusting as it is.

This is even more the case when you put content out there. Whether through acting in film or other media, creating artwork, posting pictures, etc. Creating content in the current age of the internet is inherently ceding ownership and control over it. The moment it hits the public space, you cannot control what is done with it, and the sooner people can learn to accept that, the better off I think we all will be.

I understand that feeling of violation to learn that someone has used you purely as an object for arousal.

That said, there is nuance. This content was not edited, it was merely taken out of the original context. Are we going to prevent news from doing this to prevent using content in ways unintended and unanticipated by the original creators?

“I’ll know misuse when I see it” is not a sustainable method for evaluating misuse at scale.

“If it’s clearly being used for erotic purposes” likewise doesn’t work, as defining that line isn’t straightforward. Do we ban reposts of bikini shots?

This isn’t something that was created for private use that was leaked. It was content made for public consption. Being disgusted with how the public chooses to consume it is your right, but there’s no way to control that.

Again, I entirely sympathize with the women experiencing this. Being used in this manner is dehumanizing.

But there’s no stopping it. Best to accept as best you can and ignore it.

There’s a community for these that could use the additional content: [email protected]

Anyway, here’s fucking 53 out of my old folder of these, because I have a problem. Behind a spoiler as a small attempt to not kill the mobile users.

Just use the nointro romsets off archive.org. About as close as you can get to dumping the cartridges yourself.

Or you could accept that there are benefits to making attempts to conform to the norms of the overwhelming majority of adults.

Sorry you had overbearing parental figures or whatever, but I enjoy being able to hold down jobs with regular schedules, and not having to adjust my sleep schedule just to get to stores while they’re open.

Not upset, just thought it needed to be said.

It seems odd to expect people to realize this is largely addressing issues in mastodon when it is posted to Lemmy and the summary uses terms that are interchangable. Most people are not going to take the time to follow the link if they have a negative reaction to the summary.

In short, the summary is very easy for people to take as some sort of attack on the places they personally spend time in on the fediverse as lacking. I don’t think most people look around on Lemmy and see evidence of what is being addressed as though it is an all encompassing problem, and so you get knee-jerk downvotes and that’s the extent of the engagement.

Then perhaps this is not the correct audience for this piece.

Crowdstrike is not owned or in any way in a business relationship with Microsoft, offers the software that caused the issue for Mac and Linux as well, and in fact caused similar issues on specific Linux Distros a few months before this recent cock up.

The issue only effected Windows OS machines that were running the Crowdstrike Falcon endpoint protection software, which runs at ring 0, kernel level. This presents the same potential for causing boot loops in all OSes due to the nature of running software that deep into the guts of things. The only caveat is that some Linux Distros have separation preventing things from running at that low level, and apparently so does Mac OS.

The update was not pushed out through Microsoft, as many are incorrectly repeating. It was a malware definitions update which was downloaded automatically by the Falcon software itself, without any configuration options available for admins to stage and do partial rollouts for testing.

Also, I significantly doubt that any company is going to do a complete overhaul of its IT architecture to switch over to a new OS for end user devices, when the simplest solution is to just switch to a different endpoint protection software. I’ve worked half a decade in an enterprise architecture type position, that simply isn’t how things work in this world.

Salary is fine. Just don’t ever work more hours than they pay you for. Lack of manpower is your manager’s problem, not your golden opportunity to subsidize the company payroll budget at the cost of your health and sanity.

Just try and stop me

You could look into using a download manager. No reason for you to manually start each download in sequence if there’s a way to get your computer to automatically start the next as soon as one finishes.

Man, there is a whole megathread and wiki as the pinned post on this community. Please go read it.

I’m not going to put my foot on the scales for you.

Fucking hell, that hits hard. I feel like so much of this current shit show can be traced back to the DNC’s full court push of Hillary. Winning against Trump should have been a fucking cake walk, but no, lets do this hard mode.

🥲 indeed.

People still were looking for more of the change that Obama campaigned on, and you intervene and force Bernie out for Hillary when Trump’s whole campaign was on radical change? What I wouldn’t give to know the truth behind that fuck up of a decision…

But you don’t need it to run on linux if you’re using a personally stripped down LTSC Windows install activated for free using massgrave.

More seriously, two different meanings of free going on here.

I’ve been saying this since OWS fell apart, and you’re the first person in a long time I’ve seen agree with that take.

Identity politics are important, but they pale in importance compared to the fact that people exist worth more than some countries, and the resources and options at those individuals’ disposal.

This is very similar to a plot point in the later Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy books. A civilization manages to convince all their hair stylists, project managers, telephone sanitization specialists, etc that the world is ending and that they’ve been selected as the elite to be the first on the colony ships leaving the planet.

As long as you are using official Microsoft install media downloaded from Microsoft (or verify the hash to ensure what you downloaded matches the official Microsoft isos) then you should be fine.

MAS is just a PowerShell script you run after install. It’s open source, and PowerShell scripts aren’t compiled, so you can examine it yourself to see what it’s doing. It tricks Microsoft servers into issuing your hardware an official “free upgrade” license key. The one I’m familiar with as reliable is MASgrave.

That’s not an 100% guarantee that it couldn’t be doing anything shady, but it would be incredibly hard for it to hide anything if it was.
