Perhaps do it with the string "test" and post results so we can replicate.

Could it be a character encoding issue? Are you using utf-8 on both machines?

locale charmap to check (other ways: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/5306153/how-to-get-terminals-character-encoding )

Love it. I'd never have thought to look for it, but I'm glad I stumbled across this post!

Nothing against anyone, you just don't want homosexual people to be portrayed on TV shows?

Here's some news, that's something against someone.

There is (was?) a great website called cooptimus

Have a good day :)

The spice is the source of the prescience, I don't think you can draw a line between them (the Tleilaxu could, but even then I think they used what they called synthetic spice, I don't really recall that very well though).

Aside for that point, yep, I agree with pretty much everything you said!

Unless I'm missing something?

Spice is more LSD than meth.

Paul Erdos has entered the chat.

The 2022 movie covers the first half of the first book and that theme only really comes into its own in books 2 and 3.

I don't really agree that the spice wasn't put forward as a way to salvation. I think it clearly was key to finding the golden path.

The spice enabled the Bene Gesserit to see what was needed in their breeding program, and they were trying to breed Kwisatz Haderach who would lead humanity through a dangerous time, avoiding the destruction of the race. (Also the scene in the sietch that I won't go into detail about, becuase spoilers)

Leto II uses the spice to see the golden path and forge humanity into what it needs to be to survive. (Also the other thing which I haven't mentioned due to major spoilers of a cool moment).

The spice is pretty clearly necessary for the path taken to salvation.

While the spice may not have been necessary to avoid the destruction of the human race had another path been found, in the story as it was told it was absolutely central.

You troll Lemmy app posts? That's your life?

Neato.

It had a bottom banner. Dunno if you could turn it off for free?

In Dune, the imperialist "nonsense" was the path to salvation. Genocide by machines was what we were saved from.

Richard Feynman had a really good bit about how bad human intuition is about quantum physics. About how we evolved to throw a rock at an animal out on a grass plane, and not to make good guesses about the nature of particles so small we can't even fathom them.

Seems appropriate here.

I was wondering if the Android fingerprint login had been compromised since the days of the gummybear attacks. For anyone else who was wondering: https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/android-phones-are-vulnerable-to-fingerprint-brute-force-attacks/

Interesting question OP, I'll be (academically) interested in the answer.

Edit: this Tasker answer is fiddly and very old, but may be worth looking into: https://android.stackexchange.com/questions/139653/can-i-make-android-require-fingerprint-pin-to-unlock-the-screen

The thing that breaks things broke things. The thing that fixes things fixed it.

The market for IBM Model M keyboard clones is already pretty full.

Sorry sir, I'm doing my betht.

No. No it is not.

Storage of easily enriched material to prevent theft is a concern, especially given the number of incidents with jokers photographing themselves inside nuclear facilities and the results of FBI testing of nuclear site security protocols.

Additionally, given the ridiculously long half life of the products, you get into conversations about what happens on the thousands of years time scale in which it's not reasonable to think that any given state remains politically stable.
