I actually got board, got a new HDD, and got linux mint on it. It doesn’t seem to have a bootloader installed and trying to install grub2 hasn’t changed anything. I’m also pretty disappointed in game support. Maybe I’m missing something, but Steam knows it’s on linux and a huge number of games in my library just say they run on windows or windows and mac.

I’ll check it out. Thanks!

One of my goals after moving is to get another HDD and dual-boot as I transition away. I mostly have to figure out gaming and video editing stuff. I will also probably run WINE just for notepad++ because I can’t quit it with the textfx tools (so far as I know, the linux clone was abandoned, sadly).

I haven’t done UI work in years so I’m not sure how they do it these days.

Ideally, to save bandwidth on both sides, the server would only want to serve you the JS and CSS you need. I’m not sure how frequently that optimization is made, however.

I stopped using anything meta years ago. People who want to stay in touch with me and I them continued to stay in touch. If those people will not stay in touch with you, good riddance to them.

And you thought the USA was a bad place.

I can think that both are bad places to different degrees for different reasons. Particularly when some would like for the US to become more like that.

This is not ideal?

If inputs are not being sanitized properly, it’s a huge security risk

I go to the office a few times a year, mostly for all-hands meetings that are often also parties. Any more than that, and I’m looking for a new job. Recently, the company mentioned something about making the office more enticing. That went over like a lead balloon. There are a lot of other companies in the same city with better pay for in-office and hybrid work, and many of us live 1.5+ hours away.

Security in IT here in Japan has largely been an afterthought or security theatre. Passwords stored in plaintext are not uncommon (I’ve signed up for things and had my password in plaintext sent in email back to me). It seems to be getting better slowly. My current company has a whole security division, which is a nice change.

NDAs prevent me from being too specific, but I worked previously at another company in Japan that refused to hire security staff or even pay for the occasional pen test and audit. I fixed everything I could find on my own, but I highly doubt that there were no other issues left as I’m not a security pro.

Then you have things like https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-46222026 – the cyber security MP has never used a computer. Even if their job is mostly to appoint the right people and manage that sort of thing, they still are doing a clearly terrible job of it.

I wouldn’t for the reasons mentioned by others.

There’s no monetization; I would have to find, attract, and deal with sponsors on my own.

There’s not really much in the way of audience which makes the above harder since I would need numbers/

There’s also the whole thing about bandwidth.

Then there’s all the sysadmin stuff to do, security updates, etc.

Then there’s still the legal and other admin roles, presumably, about DMCA, etc.

I do not have the time for any of that right now.

Yep. I responded to the wrong person, but I have a comment breaking down the sentence.

ここ = koko = here

に = ni = grammar particle for location.

ゴミ = gomi = garbage/trash/rubbish

を = wo = o = direct object marker

捨て (すて) = sute = throw away (in -te stem form)

ない = nai = not

で = de = marker used in this grammar construction

下さい (ください) = kudasai = please.

Thus: Please don’t throw away your trash here.

Edit: responded to the wrong person. Kbin indents are hard for me to read.

Edit2: add transliteration

As someone who is Gen X or millennial depending upon the day and the years they pick, I don’t want this. It’s very easy to look back through rose-tinted glasses, but there are a lot of things, which many commenters already touched on, that were much harder or worse then. One that I didn’t see early was maps and navigation. I had to lug around a giant atlas and plan out my routes to get somewhere. If there were a new street or development or something, I was SOL. Even in the early days, printing out MapQuest maps was far better, but still had its own issues. Aside from that, many other commenters mention many of the things that were decidedly worse or more inconvenient back then.
