Even if it is only temporarily stored to RAM for processing, I struggle to see how that doesn’t still count as “recording”.

I’m guessing it’s more of a critical thinking issue.

“Huh, that’s a weird number. I wonder why that is…” is harder than “That number is associated with Nazis!”

That being said… Maybe 1Password should offer an annual subscription discount. Both because buying in bulk often comes with a discount, but also to avoid the number that’s associated with Nazis.

Ugh, and how you can’t do anything without getting the Shop app.

“Hey, we have your tracking info. If you want it, download our app.”

How 'bout no. I’m more than capable of viewing tracking info in the browser I’m currently using. Just give me the damn number!

There are lots of reasons people love her for who she was as a person, from her genuine compassion to her “be true to yourself” attitude. If you’re looking for other more tangible positive influences she had on the world, Variety has an article listing a few examples.

Picture this:

Side-scrolling/three-quarter perspective, SNES or Genesis era Vampire game. The game is very high contrast, to let you play with light and shadows.

The game starts with you getting bit by a vampire. The goal is to find and kill the vampire who bit you to avoid becoming one yourself. You have to fight your way through various monsters, like vampire underlings, familiars, etc., with mini-bosses sprinkled throughout.

As you progress through the game, you slowly develop vampire powers as you’re turning. You get stronger, faster, learn to fly or transform into animals… whatever. You can slow the progress by hanging out in sunlight, drinking holy water, eating garlic, etc. However, you can also speed up the progress to become more powerful by hanging out in shadows, drinking blood, or handling cursed items.

At the end of the game, your character decides whether to kill the vampire or embrace the lifestyle, depending on how far your transition has progressed throughout the game.

It’s always the more expensive hotels, too.

Stay at a budget hotel? Free WiFi.

Pay more for a “luxury” experience? That’ll be an extra $20/night, please.

I don’t think she wants to hear my Lovefool…

“Nat. Convenienc” on the price tag likely indicates that it’s a Stop-n-Go type of store, so, yeah, it’s a convenience store.

Now if only I could remember which way round desert and dessert are…

My favorite deSSert is Strawberry Shortcake.

That’s interesting. I feel like my experience has been the opposite. I’ll occasionally post things here, completely expecting some negative response (not looking for it, but I know how people are). For example, I posted a rant about an issue I was having after switching to Linux. Instead of negativity, I typically get responses more like “that’s a valid criticism. Have you considered $x, though?”, and the conversation continues quite pleasantly.

I feel like reddit was far quicker to jump to “no. You’re wrong, and here’s why…”.

Edit: correcting hypothetical redditor’s spelling.

Boo! Just give me the text!

Edit: It’s long, but here’s the opening section, at least:

In 1984 KenThompson was presented with the ACM TuringAward. Ken’s acceptance speech Reflections On Trusting Trust (http://cm.bell-labs.com/who/ken/trust.html) describes a hack (in every sense), the most subversive ever perpetrated, nothing less than the root password of all evil.

Ken describes how he injected a virus into a compiler. Not only did his compiler know it was compiling the login function and inject a backdoor, but it also knew when it was compiling itself and injected the backdoor generator into the compiler it was creating. The source code for the compiler thereafter contains no evidence of either virus.

Ken wrote, In demonstrating the possibility of this kind of attack, I picked on the C compiler. I could have picked on any program-handling program such as an assembler, a loader, or even hardware microcode. As the level of program gets lower, these bugs will be harder and harder to detect. A well installed microcode bug will be almost impossible to detect.

Ken does not mean bug in the sense of error, but in the sense of listening device. And it is “almost” impossible to detect because TheKenThompsonHack easily propagates into the binaries of all the inspectors, debuggers, disassemblers, and dumpers a programmer would use to try to detect it. And defeats them. Unless you’re coding in binary, or you’re using tools compiled before the KTH was installed, you simply have no access to an uncompromised tool.

In fact, given the amenability of microcode to the KTH, not even then.

All manner of controls and monitors could be secreted this way in the OSes of all the devices we all use day to day. It isn’t very far fetched to suggest that the hack, in software, can create an updatable backdoor. This way every piece of software on the planet can be KTH bugged without any possibility of detection by any mortal engineer anywhere.

Well, maybe with the diligent use of an electron microscope.

Given last week’s horrifying revelations concerning the US government’s TotalInformationAwareness of every US domestic phone call, it is difficult to imagine that the ThreeLetterAgency’s KTH-hacked binaries are not omnipresent. I mean, can you really imagine AdmiralPoindexter would pass up an ability like this?

Maybe it was wishful thinking, but, somehow, I just knew that was the Badger Herald.

I mean, I try to at least have Groundhog Day on in the background every February 2nd.

I was introduced to the comics in German, and I find it interesting that his name varies so much. In Germany, he goes by Miraculix.

Are you accessing your media from outside of your network?

I have heard that you need to set up a VPN for Jellyfin to securely use your media library remotely. Plex handles all of that for me so that I don’t need to deal with it.
