  • No? There's a pretty good reason every criminal used telegram. I've never seen any attempts at combatting anonymity much less censorship.

    Likely TG got unbanned in Russia for cooperating with LEOs there, but while awful, that doesn't really matter if you're a westerner, even Ukrainian armed forces used it, and for the average substance enjoyer it was still much safer to use than any Five Eyes app due to its intentional highly decentralised complexity, and unlike Signal it actually works and is pleasant to use. Now they are straight up handing data over to British cops.

  • All those people are either masters at making use of little space (if you've ever seen electroboom's set in that one LTT video yk tho he ain't euro) or they've got a much bigger space (e.g. house, maybe even detached) than they're letting on. There's a good reason lots of tech YTers are from Texas.

    There's also ofc some folks who just live drowning in garbage from various projects, but you won't know about them.

  • What is a small gadget under $10-20 that you absolutely LOVE?
  • Mantric Rechargeable Remote Control Knicker Vibrator I got on sale for 50% off. I'm not super into the whole public thing, but I've been using it way more than my magic wand, that fucking tip is shaped perfectly. Plus it would make an excellent phaser prop.

  • Destination rule
  • Yeah, these movies are the definition of "high concept", like it's an interesting premise like Speed has an interesting premise, it's not meant to be overly complicated or artsy or sophisticated, but at least it's just a kind of neat blockbuster, rather than more capeshit content.

  • What should I consider before choosing the right tanga or string to work out with leggings?
  • Tangas don't have to be wide in the sides, there are many without and I'd honestly find them more comfortable than strings to work out in, but with both the main issue I'd get worried about is anything rubbing or chafing, especially with cardio but I don't do cardio so YMMV 🤷‍♀️

  • Are thongs less prone to whale tailing than strings?
  • I'd say so, but it really depends on the style of the thong you're comparing to. Some thongs also have less whale taling than others, (they can sit very low).

    Why not just get some leggings that ride a bit higher so you don't have to worry about it? When I'm just casual or going for max comfort or working out I always just wear leggings way high and then cover any tummy bulge unpleasantness with a loose tank top.

  • Jane Fonda rallies disaffected young US voters: ‘Do not sit this election out’

    Convinced the liberals - it's okay!

    So let's get dressed and dance away the night,

  • Open source maintainers underpaid and going gray
  • Because more money buys you more time.

    If you got 7 hours and 500 bucks, you've got 7 hours.

    Why? Because you've paid people to take care of all your chores.

    If you've got 7 hours and 0 bucks, you've got 0 hours.

    Why? Well you're taking the bus to the discount grocery store, you're doing your laundry, cooking your meals, you're commuting 1.5 hours each way on broken trains to work and pay £20 for the privilege, you're looking for new jobs because you think you'll be fired, and then you won't be able to make rent, you're doing 1-way AI-led recorded video job interviews and pumping out cover letters and CVs for job applications, yet never heard back, you're comparing payday loans to pay for heat, you're listening out for debt collectors, you're chasing up your GP for that blood test result from 6 months ago you never got, you're trying to find a cheaper place, you're doom scrolling your bank account balance, wondering whether you can cut down on something, anything, maybe a thicker jumper to sleep in during the winter.

    At the end of the day, you might have a few minutes to kiss your partner, or apologize to a friend you still haven't got back to for weeks, and not much else.

    So yes, most people cannot afford hobbies. The only thing people can risk it on is something that promises lots of money and an escape from misery, and it's almost always a grift.

    Now there's no such thing as a hobby coder, it confuses the average person that someone could, as an adult, just make an app for them and their friends, as just a fun thing, as art, as expression or project or whatever. I always tell my coworkers I'm studying for qualifications, but I'm really just learning active directory because it's interesting.

    It is only a thing you either grind for to make money through and pay your dues to the tutorial grifter culture promising big bucks selling endless courses on YouTube by people who are suspiciously not themselves employed as software engineers, or you don't do it at all.

  • Why is RetroArch such absolute garbage?

    RetroArch never works right. Even once you get past the cores and all the other stupid bs, once you get to setting up the controls it never works right, most buttons just do not work in game, if they even work in the menus.

    So many years, so much effort, all wasted.

    It's still so much easier to keep BlastEm, Snes9x, Duckstation and whatever else installed, so much faster to set up controls and most of the time you don't even need to as everything works out of the box.

    And yet plebbit will say nuhhh use muh libretro cores!!!!1 so heckin' wholesome Keanu chungus 100!!! I love my wife's boyfriend!!!!111 Thanks Reddit!!!!!

    what's with the anti-left sentiment on slrpnk?

    Why is the solarpunk memes community on this instance filled with such massively anti-left folks?

    This place is nice. What does it mean?

    The concept of a public Unix box is neat, but why? Is this a way to connect with like-minded people? Is this locational? I've known about this for a while and I don't really understand the purpose. What is anonradio? Lipsy gopher show? I have so many questions, I'd love some answers.

    Is there an example program that illustrates how a buffer overflow attack actually executes arbitrary code?

    I've found lots of examples in C of programs illustrating buffer Overflows, including those of pointer rewrites which has been of great help in understanding how a buffer overflow works and memory safety etc. but I've yet to be able to find an example illustrating how such a buffer overflow can rewrite a pointer in such a way that it actually results in code execution?

    Is this just not a thing, or is my google-fu rust y? Tried ChatGPT and my local Mistral and they both seem unable to spit out precisely what I'm asking, so maybe I'm wording this question wrong.

    If anyone in here knows, could point me in the right direction? Thanks y'all btw love this community 🧡

    Can't figure out how to get Plank working on Wayland

    Hey y'all

    So I've been a big anti-Wayland shill around here but decided to finally give it a shot, I installed Debian 12 with GNOME, and can't seem to get Plank working.

    Without the Plank dock, GNOME is unusable, and KDE refuses to autostart Guake (does not save the setting in autostart), and when it works it seems broken (stuck to the left side of the screen).

    These are fundamental apps to me for any decent Linux laptop use. What gives? Is there an alternative?

    Does anyone know why SteamOS is based on arch rather than Debian?

    Just got a steam deck and immediately checked out the desktop mode, and I was somewhat surprised to see KDE and pacman as opposed to GNOME and apt, I have nothing against the former though a strong preference for the latter, anyone know why Volvo went in this direction?

    is this an AnPrim space?

    Hey! After seeing the main Anarchist sub on another instance be a bit of a shit show this one seems awesome and I do love me some solarpunk so this instance seems pretty cool as well.

    But I gotta ask, is this instance anprim/anti-civ? I see green in the sub banner. It's not really a worldview I vibe with since I'm very much pro-tech, pro-civ, pro-AI, pro-medicine and pro-LGBT & disability rights, so if the majority here are of that persuasion I should probably bail, don't want to argue or start fights.
