So you think a person that would turn off UAC wouldn’t just put NOPASSWD in the sudoers? I doubt that. And even if they had to enter their pwd… Wouldn’t that just be annoying for the casual user instead of increasing security? I doubt they would be like “Oh I have to enter my pwd now, that really makes me think twice about whatever I was going to do with sudo.”

Honestly I don’t think it’s that bad. I have to use sudo just as often on linux as I have to accept the elevation box on win. Win11 has some serious issues but UAC is harmless.

Fair enough but then you shouldn’t complain about the lack of confirmation (like the meme does)

Yeah maybe, but if that exact same people would use linux they would sudo or 777 everything which wouldn’t be much better security wise

It’s not like I want to defend windows, but If it needs admin permission you usually can’t start it without confirmation.

der Kontext schreit eigentlich fast eher nach dem Clown Meme 🤡

Amazon umschifft das ein wenig, denn streng genommen hat auch das ein-Jahres-Paket keine feste Laufzeit, du kannst es als Kunde jederzeit kündigen und dir dann den Rest anteilig auszahlen lassen.

Danke für diesen Beitrag. Dieser Umstand war mir bisher nicht klar, da er erst beim allerletzten Kündigungsschritt ersichtlich wird. Ich war schon kurz davor eine Rage Mail zu schreiben, um ein Sonderkündigungsrecht “einzufordern”. Aber so war die Kündigung jetzt doch weitaus geschmeidiger :)

well, you call it dystopia, they call it brainstorming :P

I don’t think most people have an issue with compensation for good content, it’s just there are not a lot of monetization schemes that support this. So what you get instead of quality content is stuff like 40 minute video tutorials with 5 ad breaks about a subject that could have been explained in 5 minutes. That’s also why people tend to put reddit at the end of a google search because chances are good you find a simple post with the exact information you need instead of all the blog sites that explain the same shit in only 5003937352729 words with 300 ads inbetween that show up at the first result page because they game the seo system.

I’m neither a systemd fan nor a hater, but in my experience not even enterprise linux distributors can get it to work correctly all the time. That tells me that maybe it is too complicated.

Isn’t that exactly the point of the meme? Internet 20 years ago was about sharing mostly. Internet today is about monetization mostly. And content quality isn’t what makes you big, it’s your ability to game/abuse the system

If they are 100% transparent in regard to where the money goes, I’m in. The problem with something like youtube premium is not that it’s unaffordable to the majority of users. It’s that at this point you have to assume that they don’t need the subscription fee to cover their costs, but to shove that money up some CEOs or shareholders asses. Yeah that’s not gonna happen unless they force me to and even then I’d think twice about if I really need that service.

Geht’s hier nicht drum, dass die SPD die Ampel in naher Zukunft auflösen will? (vermeintlich) Schwarz/Blau ist ja eher ein Thema für die nächste Wahl. Und da kann ich mir nur schwer vorstellen, dass die SPD ne große Rolle spielen wird.

I unsubscribed when they killed account sharing and planned to subscribe just for one or two months per year to binge every show I like… but I may not subscribe again for a long time now, considering that these guys take their villain role very seriously, I mean it’s really hard to not dislike them right now. They’re like the Cersei Lannister of streaming services

Either they blatantly lie about the outcome of the password crackdown or they see no issues at all to showcase how mind-bogglingly greedy they are. I think I’ve read this week they claim that subscriptions increased by 6 million worldwide. You’d think that is enough increase in revenue for a while, but no, let’s increase prices now. Weird timing imo, unless they’re testing how far they can go

If it’s less harmful why on earth should it be regulated just as heavily? Of course I agree it shouldn’t be sold to kids, but what the EU did to vaping is a massive shit show.

I quitted smoking overnight thanks to vaping and then also stopped vaping a few years later. That was before the regulations though. I honestly don’t believe I could pull this off today with all the braindead rules and let’s not forget the massive price increase for liquids.

yup zero logic in his comment, still has 30 upvotes right now.

No it’s not. If an ad break comes up on tv and to avoid them you go for a pee or get some snacks, no sane person would call that piracy. It’s pretty much the same with youtube, I could just leave the room while an ad plays. Adblock just automates the task of not watching the ad.

Pretty much every sports game does not involve violence and people still rage like there’s no tomorrow. I’m pretty sure people will throw slurs at you over a game of yahtzee or something, as long as it’s online and there’s a ladder/ranks

“Can’t get worse at this point, eh?” Amazon: hold my beer
