The point is also to minimize potential damages caused by a bug in the software. Just this year there have been multiple data-destroying bugs in publicly released software. If the app runs as a server it’s usually trivial to have it run as a dedicated user, with just enough permissions to do its job.
It’s just good practice, even though the risks might be low why risk it at all?
For a couple of people I know, the answer would be: “This is obviously terrible, yes, but we need to preserve our traditional values at all costs, otherwise Muslim immigrants will replace us”.
I don’t know, I’m far from being an expert but from what I’ve read immigrants have been sold a paradise and are under immense pressure to succeed because their whole family or even village pooled their resources together for the wonderboy to go to Europe and make it. When they call back home they don’t give bad news, they just say everything is great even if they spend their days begging under a bridge. And so the cycle repeats.
Anyways, it’s been this way for decades, if the free market had any influence on the human trafficking industry it would have kicked in by now…
Economics works there too, though. More passages means lower ticket prices, and at some point people will actually be able to demand “luxuries” like standing room, or else not use that guy.
Nah they already paid upfront, they’re scared and disoriented, and even if they knew of another smuggling outfit there’s no way they’re demanding anything. Smugglers beat or even kill their clients for the pettiest shit, to make an example and make sure everyone behaves.
“Donating boats” to human traffickers won’t fix anything, they already have the resources, they’re just scum who provide the absolute minimum without regard for human life.
If you want to help (and piss off the far-right) you can donate to sea rescue NGOs.
OK so this is most likely by design, impressive.
Does the timer “jump” to the correct time after you dismiss the window ? It’s also possible that they didn’t bother testing the app when logged out, and that the popup blocks the UI thread while it’s displayed. In short it could be bad coding and QA instead of intentional enshittification.
That’s because he planted a backdoor into GIT, and now he reviews your bad commits every night.
Pretty sure the French far right straight-up ripped off this conspiracy from the US alt-right. Same as the trans hysteria.
I guess it depends on your country, but he’s not obsessed with immigration and Islam so as far as French people are concerned he’s conservative but not far right.
Well he’s not really far right, but he sure is far-right compatible.
Even more hilarious is the amount of people who believed Macron when he said he wasn’t right wing.
Same as Windows and MacOS, really. You can follow best practices and conventions, or just install your software wherever you want.
“School” starts at 3 in France. But it’s more like a kindergarten for 3 years, then you enter primary school at 6 where you learn reading and writing.
Their own solution is actually better than a VPN for this use case. It’s an encrypted proxy which anyone can download and run, so it’s much harder to block.
Yes the Steam deck FS is ext4.
Why ext2 on Void?
Putin goes back on his word and mobilizes more people into his special military operations to bolster the defenses
This would be easy to spin, it’s no longer a special operation it’s become a war of survival against the Ukrainian Nazis and their gay Jewish NATO allies, the very thing our lord and saviour Putin was trying to prevent with the special operation!
Yep, at my previous job I moved a pretty complex build system from Jenkins to github actions. It worked fine and was much simpler to maintain.
And yes there are ways to run github actions on your own machine, but I haven’t tried it.
No, a bêtise is when a kid spills her milk or breaks a toy.
In this context I think they use the word as an euphemism for cheating on your spouse, as that’s the defense of most of the accused: they thought it was a kink and that Gisèle Pelicot had given her consent.
