People keep saying the codenames in Metal Gear Solid sound like Megaman X bosses, so I decided to give them actual designs. Matches the scale of my other X mockups.

Something I've been sitting on for several years that I finally decided to wrap up tonight.

If any device requires an app, a subscription or any kind of software that isn't 100% located on your own hardware, then it's garbage and will become useless in short order. Avoid them.

Police can question you and — even if you say nothing — they're allowed to testify about your "demeanor" and "body language" during questioning.

Most judges will allow this as a form of expert testimony.

That's why STFU is not enough. You need to explicitly say "I invoke my 5th amendment rights"

It's been debunked, valve confirmed they don't even use the company that is said to be hacked (a SMS 2FA company) and the source of it all is an AI company's LinkedIn post that itself looks AI made itself

I mean, $5000 for 89 MILLION steam accounts? Come on.

Just have Steam Guard and you're good.

I think if they ever really do make an Elden Ring movie, they need a director that's comfortable with slow, deliberate scenes and sparse dialogue or even long silences. Take lessons from Elden Ring's actual cutscenes, literally add the game's Cinematic Director, Takaaki Yamagishi, as a consultant.

This hack was already confirmed as fake by Valve. The source is a random Twitter user citing a LinkedIn post. This 2FA is not used by Valve.

There's no harm in changing your password but you don't need to freak out about your information.
70% of all active Steam user accounts have now been compromised due to a third party 2FA breach. “Further analysis by Underdark AI has apparently revealed that the batch contains two-factor SMS logs, message contents, metadata, delivery status and other details.” Change your Steam password right now

I have to agree with the general sentiment of Linux not being mainstream enough after so many decades due to limited ease of use by refusing to make use of terminal entirely optional via a good GUI. And that's on top of actually making Linux work for your case, which doesn't happen 100% of the time.
Something else that need to happen in the next five years alongside improvements to Proton:

Flatpack 2.0, because right now it sucks.

If you want people to use Linux, they need to be able to install stuff on Linux and I'm fucking sorry but "sudo apt-get" is not gonna fucking cut it for most users.
I think one of the other big use cases will be getting hardware for professionals to start supporting Linux. E.g. more art tablets, audio interfaces, etc. Right now there are open source community alternatives to official support, but if momentum builds to allow (economic) official hardware work...

Fascists hire absolutely incompetent dipshits on purpose.

It tells their supporters aspirationally, "look, even this total fuckup has achieved success, so can you if you join us!"

It tells their victims, "I would rather hire the shittiest guy I can possibly find than one of you people"

A German citizen on Tiktok warns US users about the similarities between Hitler’s rise to power & Trump’s collision with Tiktok, goes viral, then when her prophecy comes true, the video is removed for community guidelines violation.

Draw your own conclusions.

Looking at OMF 2097's Power Plant theme's comments got me to watch Freeman's Mind. Lucky me that's one machinima that ultimately got preserved, cause I'm having a blast watching it. A few R-word uses aside - which was the style at the time, tbf - it has been holding up VERY well over a decade later.

Depends, case-by-case basis for me. But if I am to define a general guideline, just about anything simple but with enough mix-and-matching to look cool, unique and badass enough (Alakazam). Cute can be fine, if not usually preferred, but something about it ought to be remotely menacing (Heracross).
Let’s talk Pokémon design - what makes a compelling design for you?

Cute friends or fearsome fighters? Animalistic features and rugged outlines, or smooth lines and humanoid silhouettes? Limited palettes or colourful creations?

Por isso digo: viva o SUS.

E que nosso péssimo hábito de importar algumas das piores pautas que os EUA inventam não nos façam chegar a esse mesmo ponto crítico da morte de CEO de empresa de saúde ser motivo de celebração por boa parte da população. Por enquanto não chegamos lá e que continue assim.
Took me a bit but I've found the framing to put into words a way to express to the people fretting about the death of the UHC CEO why we just aren't heeding their admonishment:

The social contract stipulates that all life is sacred, and Brian Thompson violated it.

But it's more than that.
