@vaxryy Idk, you'd have to get them to turn on secure boot/FDE on the steam deck first.

If I nick your steam deck on the bus today, I can rip your auth token off the SSD and go on a spending spree/transfer all your collectables.

@ChShersh What about prolog programmers? No functions, only predicates

@kerckhove_ts @unisonweb It's come a long way. There's a pretty decent cloud offering now. Doesn't have the same breath of libraries as older languages, but what's there is pretty delightful to use.

@ben__weddle @hot_girl_spring I'm pretty sure ruff lints against both of these examples.

Yeah, python has some surprising behaviour, but the tooling can often help you avoid common mistakes like these.

@kerckhove_ts @JakeKeuhlen BSON saves a bit of bandwidth if you're transferring large payloads.

@UmActuallyShow Ghost in the Shell is a Mecha show. Both Tachikoma and Uchikoma have cockpits, articulated limbs, and the main characters pilot them in the show.

@OldBoschQueen @FrameworkPuter The system firmware supports it, but it's a little awkward to use on Linux. you need a patched ectool that exposes the option, or the latest Linux 6.12 kernel, and it will revert to the bios default on reboot :/

I sometimes forget that Pixar is owned by Disney. This is what they do.

[DiscussingFilm @DiscussingFilm]

Any Pixar employee laid off before ‘INSIDE OUT 2’ released were not able to qualify for their bonus for working on the film.

• Laid-off employees were asked not to come to the office to pick up belongings so remaining employees didn’t feel awkward

• One former employee said “when we were told the day we were laid off that the bonus is only for active employees, I sobbed”

• Another pointed out the irony of working on a movie about mental health, only to have their health insurance stripped away

💀 My sympathies to the Unison dev whose commit "yaml definitely almost done" appears at the halfway mark of this video.

@welltypedwitch Lol, we have ropes now. No more flimsy strings!

#BREAKING: David McBride jailed for 5 years and 8 months with no parole for 2 year 3 months!

Today we have seen the first person related to war crimes in Australia jailed, and it’s the whistleblower. What a stain on governance and justice in Australia.

David is a hero. #auspol

@travisgoodspeed Asking the model some follow-up questions, it recommends using the scsi-generic device type.

-device virtio-scsi-pci,id=scsi0 \
-device scsi-generic,bus=scsi0.0,drive=footape

I'm not sure what footape is supposed to represent though.

[Thomas Woolford λ🐍.🚀 @twoolie]

@travisgoodspeed I've all but given up on googling questions like this, now I just go straight to the AI search engines. Sometimes they hallucinate an answer, but usually it's pretty accurate. This answer seems fine, and easy enough to do:
