Have you you tried stealing the person's identity? Seems like that's what the bank is asking for.
Sometimes I wish I was good with AI so I could make a video of the Trump cabinet looking unsettled as Wonka sings to them in the tunnel scene.

I'm ok if we stop giving this guy any attention.
What other well supported wayland tiled window managers are out there with smooth animations? I would check them out for sure, but I only know about hyprland.
Technically that already happened. But the OK Republicans have also been stalling and trying to get that reversed too.
Consider that it's not intended to be helpful, but actually could be a malicious DDOS attempt. If it slows down devs from fixing real vulnerabilities, then it empowers those holding zero days for a widely used package (like curl).
Actually, the Signal protocol turned out to be fatally flawed in that, if you added the editor of a major publication to your group chat, all of your conversations would end up on the news the next day. Honestly a pretty egregious vulnerability.
Heh, I'm probably in the minority, but I like the idea of different windows "modes". I've long wanted msft to make versions of windows for different users rather than a one-size-fits-all product. I just wanted it because I'm a power user who wanted something more stripped down and configurable, not a boomer who wants something that won't act as a conduit between my ignorance and scammers.
But it's cool, they can do whatever they want with windows now, they've made it clear they don't want me as a user.
Ah, like a "stable" mode? Honestly it makes sense from a user support perspective. More locked down, more predictable, easier to secure. In the same way that you can't hack a brick, and similarly useful.
Each time one of these for profit social media platforms fails or gets cancelled or whatever, some portion of the userbase switches to the Fediverse.
My hope is that eventually we will reach a critical mass where that portion makes up a majority of the transfers, at which point we will have successfully dismantled the industry of walled-garden social media.
A bridge is the first step in the "Embrace, Extend, Extinguish" pattern. A Fediverse only works when no one node can dominate all the others. It's why, even though Meta's Threads platform was/is actually Federated (in that it uses ActivityPub), everyone defederated from them because it's a poison pill for the whole network.
For more info on how that eventually happens, this article gives some past examples.
You might be mixing up the first we knew about hl2 with the time the entire source code for the game was leaked early.
As Gaben put it in the recent valve doc, moving the story forward wasn't a good enough reason to put out a new Half Life. The series has always been about pushing technological innovations, and they just felt stumped on how HL3 was going to do that.
People like to claim valve doesn't do anything anymore, but I legitimately feel like PC gaming is the best deal for gaming right now, handily beating out console and mobile, and that is in large part due to valve.
Their flat internal structure hasn't been perfect, but on the bright side it didn't result in them pumping out what the gaming industry would have viewed in retrospect as yet another obligatory entry in an FPS series. Valve's intention was to let smart people solve hard problems in the gaming space, and IMO they have always done that, it just so far hasn't resulted in a HL3.

Wouldn't have a fentanyl crisis without an opioid crisis. Wouldn't have an opioid crisis without late stage capitalism and the US healthcare system.
It also opens the door to experimentation too. If you're comfortable with using a terminal to undo a change you made and restart your DM/windower, suddenly you're not afraid of trying things out that might hang your windower.
Not working. Maybe if i do Ctrl+Alt+F3
Yeah, virtual ttys can be a lifesaver! Definitely something to keep in your back pocket.
I'm guessing you're playing on a laptop? If so, it sounds like your Fn Lock is on. Usually laptops have some Fn key combo to turn it off, Fn+Esc is a common one.
You can always deny the survey...I would hope that means they don't use the data anyway. But I understand the motivation if they do (not a truly random sample if people are more likely to deny on one platform vs another).
Yes, JIT is used for both, but we don't call JITing of Java/.Net bytecode "emulation" because there is no hardware that natively runs bytecode that we are emulating. Unlike x86_64 asm, bytecode is designed to be JITed. But yes, JITing is the defacto strategy for efficiently emulating one piece of hardware on another.
When you implement the functionality of a piece of hardware in software, the software is said to "emulate" the hardware. The emulators you are used to are emulators, not because they are emulating a console (ex. N64), but because they're emulating the hardware that was used to build that console (ex. a MIPS processor). That said, oftentimes console emulators need to account for specific quirks/bugs that were introduced specifically because of choices the console designers made. Ex. maybe the specific processor and memory they used for the N64 have a weird interaction that game devs at the time abused, and if your emulation doesn't ensure that quirk works the same way, then some games won't run.
At the risk of adding unnecessary detail, a VM might use emulation or it might not. The QEMU package is often used for virtualization, but despite its name (Quick Emulator) if the system you're virtualizing matches the architecture of the system you're running on, no emulation is needed.
\1a) In this case, it is risc-v hardware running software (built for risc-v) that emulates x86_64 hardware so that it can run an x86_64 binary.
\1b) A compatibility layer is less well defined, but in general refers to: whatever environment is needed to get a binary running that was originally built for a different environment. This usually includes a set of libraries that the binary is going to assume are loaded, as well as accounting for any other possible unique attributes in the structure of the executable. But if the binary, the compatibility layer, and the CPU are all x86_64, then there's no emulation involved.
\2) to get a binary built for x86_64 windows running on risc-v Linux, you will need both emulation and a compatibility layer. In theory those two don't need to be developed in tandem, or even know about each other at runtime, but i expect that there may be performance optimizations possible if they are aware if each other.
I mentioned QEMU because my first thought when reading this was, isn't this a prime usecase for QEMU?
