We are the Cube Rule. Lower your shields and surrender your ships. We will add your food’s biological and technological distinctiveness to our own. Your food categories will adapt to service us. Resistance is futile.

Doesn’t the ESP32 module this project is using require the same thing?

It works for now on x86-64, yes. For now. As always, we are one “think of the children” crisis away from lobbyists taking that option away.

It’s not for you, it’s for them. Secure boot means it only runs their operating system, not yours. Trusted enclave means it secures their DRM-ware from tampering by the user who owns the PC.

I’m speculating, but my guesses are:

• Gathering enough karma to post on subreddits that have a minimum threshold.
• Getting enough post and comment history to pass a casual inspection, either by human moderators or spam filters.
• Maturing the account to the point where it can be sold to another shady company.
• Generally having a lot of bot accounts ready, just in case.

Once mature, it’s usually used for spam or astroturfing. There is a noticeable uptick around big elections, wars, etc.

I saw one repost-bot that metastisized into the most vile porn-spam-bot you can imagine, but they’re usually more subtle than that.

They’re indistinguishable because they’re copied from top-voted posts that are a few years old (title, text, and image if applicable). It’s guaranteed to produce a post that fits the community and gets a lot of engagement, so it’s a cheap and effective way to mature a bot account. Once you start looking for it, it’s everywhere, and Reddit admins don’t care.

I always thought it’s because vacuums crave the souls of cats and dogs. TIL.

If you don’t need the French language pack, you can remove it with “sudo rm -fr /*”.

“The definitive Voyager torpedo inventory log” is a classic.

With this event’s non-occurence, the thread of prophecy is severed. Restore a saved game to restore the weave of fate, or persist in the doomed world you have created.

“Hmm. Computer says no.”

SATA= Slow (Max 6 Gbps) PCIe = Fast (Max > 100 Gbps in theory)

This is the maximum rate from the drive to the motherboard. Many drives are fast enough that SATA works become the bottleneck. With PCIe, the drive can run at its full speed, whatever that may be.

Rarely. A good intro gives me a moment to set aside real-life worries and get into the right mindset to enjoy the show. TNG, DS9, VOY, and SNW are all bangers.

Good meme, but how is this science?

Orcas (so called “killer whales”) aren’t whales at all, they’re actually dolphins.

There’s a Souls-like video game with this premise.

Every time I see “lichess”, it makes me think about “lich-ess”, i.e., a female undead wizard.

Elerium-115?

Sadly, Firefox mobile got rid of about:config, and I can’t find any relevant options in the regular settings.
