- ghustoWhich alternatives though? On Mac at least, I'm not aware of any viable non-Chromium alternatives.
- > In fact, if you do not need a shared secrets service, and your applications are containerized... why do you need a secrets IPC at all? Just let each program store its secrets in some of its supposedly private storage...
If I store my secrets in KWallet, which purports to _storage for secrets_, I absolutely do not expect every application on the desktop to have access to those secrets, whether I want to share them or not.
I can't believe you're suggesting this is sanely defensible.
- > However, the best thing is this: any app on the bus can read all secrets in the store if the store is unlocked
>> The GNOME project disagrees with this vulnerability report because, according to their stated security model, untrusted applications must not be allowed to communicate with the secret service.
I'd like to point out for anyone on the fence that yes, Gnome is run by clowns in full sized clown shoes.
- Don't do anything for the majority of your life that feels like "drudgery". There is a middle ground between slave and idealist.
Working at crappy places because they pay more is a choice, not an inevitability.
- As someone who buys Apple-everything and has thought about switching to Android just so I can have Gemini as an assistant, my opinion is their selling of phones is threatened by AI.
I know it's fashionable to shit-talk AI and Google, and lord knows I dislike the latter, but Gemini works and is day-to-day useful.
- > Historically the strength of Apple was that they didn't ship things until they actually worked. Meaning that the technology was there and ready to make an experience that was truly excellent.
Tell that to almost anything they've shipped in the last 5-10 years. It's gotten so bad that I wait halfway through entire major OS version before upgrading. Every new thing they ship is almost guaranteed to be broken in some way, ranging from minor annoyance to fully unusable.
I buy Apple-everything, but I sure wish there were better options.
- For me it's because it's because most things are faster, easier, and don't change (what you learn retains it's value, and doesn't become worthless when the new hotness arrives). So for me it's the other way around; everything should be in the terminal, with a GUI for that one time you need it (`open .` on Mac to open Finder).
- It could of course be simply down to the fact that all children are different, but what worked for us is honesty and the closeness that brought.
I've see parents "talk" with their children, where it seemed more like they were talking _at_ them. I could see in the kids face he was putting on a show of listening (and pretending to go along with it), because that was the fastest track to going back to doing whatever he liked when they weren't watching.
Where it worked though, was getting closer to my children by admitting where I was at and where I was coming from. When they feel like you're really connecting with them.
I'm sure my kids still get up to much I'll (hopefully) never hear about, but that's normal. As long as the big overarching stuff is understood, I'll take that as a win.
- > The fact that this still happened despite my many roadblocks and safe-guards I put in place really shocked me to the core. Not to mention the whole "am I terrible parent" question which naturally arises out of all this
I don't want to kick you when you're down, but you tried a technical solution on a human problem.
- I check out my kids screen every so often to see what what he's really up to. After the panic of recent weeks, I looked more closely at Roblox, and spoke to my kid about it.
It could very well be that I'm being naive, or even stupid, but from what I could see the panic is coming from parents who don't feel like being parents. That is to say, they think the world should be safe for their kids, with no actual responsibility required from them to educate and engage with their own children.
- I think that's also his belief, but he's currently bitter and angry about how dark-mode evangelists are not doing the same.
- Ironically, my eyes can't take dark mode and I suffer all the issues proponents of dark-mode use against normal mode with it.
I've had to install Stylish just to have control over those websites that think they know better than me on what's good for my eyes.
- No, they are too bright. So bright that they dazzle at any height.
- It's like driving behind a truck or van, you can't see past the (tinted) car in front.
The solution would be to overtake people with tinted windows. Unfortunately, the type of people with tinted windows are exactly the type you shouldn't overtake.
- > A study commissioned by the Department for Transport (DfT) found 97% of people surveyed found they were regularly or sometimes distracted by oncoming vehicles and 96% thought most or some headlights were too bright.
1% said they were sometimes distracted by incoming vehicles, and that was fine.
- Fully behind his argument, but boy did he pick a bad example with Good Will Hunting:
> “I feel like you have a tremendous amount of intellectual potential that you’re wasting here — why are you getting in fights rather than trying to do something interesting?”
Nobody said that because that was his whole problem, that he _couldn't_ go there. That was his entire character!
- Good lord, what a load of curmudgeons some of you are.
Decorating things makes them look pretty and covers up the corporate free advertising. It's not any more complicated than that.
The hate on political stickers I get though.
- Remember, we make laws and they are there to make society work/better. So whilst the legal answer is "yes", I presume the real question was "_Is_ this gender discrimination?", as in; let's actually think about it instead of fobbing it off to the current state of the law.
If the law is nonsensical or harmful, it can and should be changed.
- It sounds like they're like the Dutch. The government is trusted because they've been shown to be trustworthy, but they are always accountable. If something dodgy happens, people are quick to point it out and demand action.
So it's not blind trust. I understand why Americans are so mistrusting of their government, it's because they are untrustworthy. The mistake is thinking everywhere in the world is like that.
- You don't have children, I take it.
