A VPN is not a tool for anonymity, and while it can protect your location from some companies, there are many other ways companies may track you. ssd.eff.org/module/choo...
Choosing the VPN That's Right for You
VPN stands for “Virtual Private Network.” When you connect to a VPN, all data that you send (such as the requests to servers when browsing the web) appears to originate from the VPN itself, rather than your internet service provider (ISP). This masks your IP address, which can be an...

Autism is: fine, common, normal
The problem is a world where only some brains are valuable/able to succeed.
If we are concerned about Autism as a "problem," there are real tangible things we could be doing to make the world better for everyone instead of pretending we can prevent neurodiversity.

Here is a quick little tip: You can hit `Ctrl-D` to quickly exit from a shell (remote/ssh or local), or logout from a login shell. No need to type the `exit` on your Linux, macOS or Unix systems.

I've been studying for my Project+ (exam on Friday), and I can say one thing I hate (other than how dry it is) is the amount of things I already know that CompTIA takes and goes, "Whoops! This needs to be an acronym." WHY?! Not everything needs to be an acronym! RCA... No! It's Root Cause Analysis!

Thirty-three days ago, we released Clair Obscur: Expedition 33.
Since then, we’ve sold 3.3 million copies.
Seriously. As of today.
We couldn’t make that up.

Why, why, why?! Does Notepad need to have a Co-pilot implementation. It is Notepad. It exists to have no features.
The whole point of Notepad is that it doesn't do anything but text.

The visudo command is the only safe way to edit the /etc/sudoers file, as it performs syntax checks before saving config. By default, it uses vi. If you prefer another editor like vim, nvim, or nano, you can temporarily set the EDITOR environment variable:
sudo EDITOR=nano visudo
#linux #unix
sudo EDITOR=nano visudo
#linux #unix

Can confirm @jay.bsky.team here: Bluesky has become a great driver of referral traffic. Not demoting link posts is huge, and the community of readers / responders here feels more thoughtful and engaged. X has become essentially worthless for the task

![There’s been an influx of big creators onto Bluesky, but there’s no direct way for them to monetize their work yet. Are you going to change that?
We’re giving them great traffic—and that can convert to money. One big thing is we don’t downrank links, so if you are a YouTube creator or you have a Patreon and you post those links on Bluesky, you’re getting higher link traffic, even with a smaller follower count. This is true of small creators and even news organizations. We’ve heard from large news organizations that Bluesky has better click-throughs and better subscription rates. [WIRED can vouch for this: The platform has become a top traffic driver and source of new subscribers.]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:j5fbnzh57rn7xz65yjc36gxb/bafkreibuwjyptgsyz2rjfsoiq6622nft7pbm7tpleozfokdc4tui7hk7zq@jpeg)
