Eh sure, if you’re within the central ring road all you really see are EVs, but my ex’s dad definitely drove his old guzzler through the other rings and was far from alone from doing so. Then again, that was over 5 years ago, so the blanket ban may have spread outwards

oh wicked, I didn’t know android was there yet

I hear you, but they have to to sign the packages because android builds are not reproducible. Yeah it’s an extra notch in the chain, but it’s an extra check against bad binaries too

Welcome!

I mean if you only use trusted applications repos

Trusting an application means trusting every developer who has contributed to its codebase. The XZ attack showed that it just takes one pushy contributor to completely expose an attack surface.

The only thing you can really trust is applications that you build yourself and can personally vet the source for. No one does that of course, so we place some trust in authorized developers (e.g. archlinux-keyring) who have been vetted by their various organisations. With Github, no such vetting occurs, it’s just some guy/girl hosting their code.

MITM attack to Obtainium

I have to admit I don’t know much about the security that Obtainium uses. I’m hoping everything is TLS certified to make MITM difficult, but I don’t know those details. All I do know is that you’re getting binaries hosted by someone on github who might have zero cred in FOSS circles.

not the best resource, but:

• https://security.stackexchange.com/questions/200029/upload-malware-to-f-droid-repo#200043

we don’t audit every single app that makes it into the store. But we do make sure that everything is free software, and do test/investigate to a certain degree.

From what I understand, F-droid regularly audits a few new apps for malicious code, and always makes sure that the source built the binary.

With Github releases, maybe some of these binaries are generated by CI, but I’m betting more that they’re generated locally in dev and then uploaded to Github as direct releases. That is, the source you see on a repo on Github is not neccesarily the same source used to generate their binaries.

To me that’s a wide angle of attack, and that’s why I stick with F-droid, even if it’s minimal checking.

I stay well clear of obtanium. Github releases are not the source-reproducible binaries they sometimes pretend to be. There’s no QC whatsoever.

I’ll stick with the F-droid vetting. It’s not perfect, but it’s enough

Not OP, but can also confirm it’s not there.

My current version is

I can confirm this does not work, and I get the sad face each time

The idea is that you wear them down, not that they wear you down. Its a battle of attrition, and the winner takes all (or not very much)

Hey, so, uh,… what’s yer 'hing?

Storyline’s pretty good, and the gameplay is outstanding depending on what mods you’re ingesting.

My only gripe is the levelling. The constant grind doesn’t seem to get you much xp, so the incentive to not play through the story properly is high.

The can keep their l’s and y’s, my issue is that I don’t trust their language after their longest town name was arbitrarily made so to reap in unsuspecting tourists

the longest street name in Germany is “Bischöflich-Geistlicher-Rat-Josef-Zinnbauer-Straße”, which I don’t think is that different from something like “St Martin-in-the-Fields Church Path” in the UK.

(I’m purposefully ignoring Wales, because they’re just fucking with us at this point)

I see potential, especially in combo with a pointing woman

Extreme US climate terrorist energy corruption

expand on this please

Any good recommendations for someone into:

• German (slice of life, politics?)
• UK politics? (Jimmy the Giant style, please)
• World History
• Curious Android style Tech and Engineering?
• Linux, but lwn-style not Linus-tips style?

True

then it wont be linux, but a shittily maintained private copy that will fall out of disuse quickly unless they merge all upstream changes without too much oversight (in which case, why bother?) to keep feature parity

True

This joke hasn’t aged well. I took it as is and just assumed the Dad put together a micro PC with a PS2 emulator on it, and then I stared at the article for 5 minutes looking for the punchline.

At first I thought you meant it’d be a bad fork, but then I realise you meant it’d be a bad fork.

As long as it’s open source and vetted by the public, I don’t see how it could go bad tbh

I think the spork through me off, but yep I get it now - thanks!

no, but they pretend otherwise, so them publicly salivating for it is a new level of embarrassing.

I’ve read this a few times and my brain just cant process what you’re saying. Do you write for Eric Andre?

I played SWG as a kid, and I can tell you that it sucked. I think it would have been more fun if I’d played it as an adult.

I keep mine only attached to ad-hoc networks with no outside signal, but there’s literally no saying whether it has its own modem

Given the measurable power output, I’d think not, but who’s to say what it does when connected to stable power node after X hours.

I love this chip :'-(
say it ain’t so

For me its just if someone (including myself) demonstrated spur-of-the-moment genius or creativity

Ubuntu have had some weird-ass names for their titles (Warty Warthog, Edgy Eft, urgh) and the games themselves have been pretty lacklustre.

There was this one level where you had to rearrange icons to the left and it just looked stupid. Unity or something.

Fist inside Someone’s Tush

Nobody’s mentuoned this yet, but there’s this little known game called Genshin…

is this something I need to do every single update?

…what kind of bridge?

BG3: WhickedWhims and BasementDrugs

They would never do that, that would be dangerous. But at red lights, or when you first start the motor, or at the gas station? Oh you betcha betcha betcha

Good point. Harder to parse would be my guess

Thanks for this. Still, I would be curious to see this for a 4K level image. Also I wonder if your screenshot tool did a bitmap copy of the screen or intrinsically converted it to PNG first before pasting it into your paint editor.

But that’s patently untrue: take this 10 MB example TIFF file as an example.

• PNG Compression, max compress (=quality 9):

  convert file_example_TIFF_10MB.tiff -quality 9 test.png
  

• JPG Encoding, 99% quality (=quality 99):

  convert file_example_TIFF_10MB.tiff -quality 99 test.jpg
  

Final file size comparison:

9.7M Sep  5 13:21 file_example_TIFF_10MB.tiff
1.7M Sep  5 13:22 test.jpg
2.5M Sep  5 13:22 test.png

PNG is significantly larger, and difference in quality between them is negligible

why though? The graphics represented in the screen are already squashed and scaled, so you wouldn’t be preserving their quality in any case. If you’re worried about text, JPEG should still be able to handle it under high quality settings

PNG started out as ZIP(BMP) and hasn’t gotten that much better. Use JPEG. The pixels you lose are not worth crying about
