So basically every hotel is a ghetto motel where you should move the dresser in front of the door.

I haven’t checked out the BIOS yet. The weird thing is it’s inconsistent… sometimes it sleeps perfectly, other times wakes immediately after shutting down. Just tested it now for instance and sort of like “hey mechanic my car makes this weird noise… oh uh, it’s not doing it now” it slept normally so there wasn’t anything to observe.

Cool, I’ll try that!

Great, do whatever you want. Just shut the fuck up about it, nobody cares.

Then next paragraph…

I switched from Linux to macOS for a number of years and it was fucking awesome. Then my Macbook Pro became defective and I bought a PC and …

Well, okay. Great, why not write a whole article about your personal taste in software.

What do I use? Arch Linux.

BTW

That is one method that has been used recently… they drill a hole and connect to a serial port or something.

That’s interesting. What that indicates to me is that they feel it’s not advantageous marketing-wise to have one in other regions.

Less silly than a whole goofy gnome.

Gnome Chomsky would be pretty hilarious. Kinda political though.

True, Windows had a couple characters (well, Clippy was for Office). The idea of those was a digital assistant character though, not really a mascot.

I think they’re happy with just a slightly silly foot logo. “Gnome Network Object Model Environment” is a serious sounding name and I don’t think an animal mascot is what they had in mind for branding (seeing as, they don’t have one). An anime gnome might even be the exact opposite of what their intent is. GNOME is looking to be seen as a professional alternative to MacOS and Windows. Speaking of which, note that Windows and OSX don’t have a mascot either.

Probably because a gnome would be silly. I presume that’s not the image they’re looking for - garden gnomes, Christmas, fairy tales.

I’m sure their infrastructure includes various GOL software, like most tech/ecommerce companies. China is not known for caring much about copyright (or copyleft) and I doubt if they provide much information about that. I’m not sure why you think it would help indicate how much personal information they’re storing from people, and in any event, I think we can assume they at least store the same sort of info about customers and web visitors as sites like Amazon or Google.

I suppose someone could make filters that block art credited to AI, Dalle, Midjourney etc…

How would the extension be able to tell?

Oh, I see what you mean. I thought you meant output HTML and templating vs server side logic, but yes, obviously I know the difference as the only front-end language is JavaScript and derivatives.

I’m more used to the terms ‘server-side’ and ‘client-side’ btw. Obviously PHP is server-side. But not all server-side is backend in my view. I consider backend to be application logic and things like database access. Templating can be done on the server or the client, and that’s front-end.

For the backend? Why? I could see PHP being better for the front end considering it’s basically a templating language already, and setting up Python on a webserver is much more complex, last I tried.

NO Sweden! Latvia? Forget it!

Not really? The format is well documented. Whether it is possible to include some sort of exploit depends on the client you use to play it, and if so, I doubt Microsoft or IBM would be the ones to do it.
