Explain Like I'm Five@lemmy.world•ELI5 How is this legal? Doesn't the constitution give us the right to tell them piss off?English
281·15 days agoIt doesn’t matter whether it’s illegal. If you don’t have rule of law, which is the reality that MAGA has us living in, then all that matters is if you can get away with it. If you can’t or won’t be held to account, then there is no law

1·22 days agoOn purpose? Not likely. Also I don’t expect them to be able to handle save and open of files using the web versions of M365.
But I think they would use libre office and not question that it wasn’t Microsoft office since it would open their files like they are used too.

15·23 days agoApple computers, which is a higher market share than Linux, are more expensive. That’s what I was getting at.
Windows became dominant because of enterprise software sales 20 years ago. Now everything runs in an electron wrapper that can run on any platform or in the browser.
PCs don’t even have optical drives anymore. No normal consumer even knows how to install a program today, let alone is considering legacy program compatibility when making a computer purchasing decision
I am qualifying my statements based on interactions with my coworkers of whom I deploy and manage their PCs. I could probably install mint on 50% of their PCs and the only reason they’d notice is because Microsoft office looks different and is called Libre Office for some reason

293·23 days ago98% of Windows users, use windows because that’s what the OS that came with the computer they could afford.
98% of windows users probably don’t know what version they are on or even what windows is

cybersecurity@infosec.pub•Study concludes cybersecurity training doesn’t work
2·3 months agoI guess the point is that users who are taking training are not more likely to pass the phishing simulations but I think that’s missing point. In competently ran organizations the point of these trainings aren’t explicitly to teach people to not fall for tests but to be able to identify which users are your greatest risks and either give them more support or can them if they are to high of a risk that it outweighs their productivity.
Of course the people who are taking more training are failing tests. It’s because they lack the computer skills or cognitive ability to understand what they doing. But taking a five minute training that says “don’t click the link” isn’t going to magically make people not get phished, but it has usefulness in basic awareness (which is why we have the super basic cyber security awareness training as well)
The reality is that all human beings can be socially engineered if the attacker is motivated enough. You can’t stop it by training only by planning and being proactively prepared
The ??? isn’t a reference to underpants gnomes. It’s just that no one has ever gotten LLMs to actually fix its own bugs to find out what that step is
YouTube still offers them a service in directing them new viewers. The big creators all lose viewers but YouTube funnels replacement views faster than they lose. They could host their own videos but they are gonna see very little growth without Google either in search or with YouTube as they start to lose the base that followed them.
They also won’t be able to negotiate as good as rates for pre-rolls or in video sponsorships as if they were on YouTube.
The only real alternative would be to band together like the creators that are a part of nebula are doing. Hosting on peertube really isn’t an option unless you are independently supported and you are doing it as a passion project and don’t care about audience growth or retention.
All that information is integrated in Active Directory and available for Microsoft to ingest into their AI. Heck it could be something they put in the system prompt. “If you have low confidence in your output then respond ‘contact your manager’ instead.
You left a “can rot in hell” between your php and forever

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Help : Self-Hosting RSS Feed for my blog (pls)English
3·9 months agoI’d agree with others that have said to use a framework like Hugo to serve an RSS feed. I wrote an automation using Google apps script to scrape blog pages and manually update the RSS feed but it was more trouble than it was worth. Letting your framework automatically update your feed is much easier.
I think it’s probably cheaper in the long run to self host a tree instead, unless you live in an apartment with absolutely no green space. But I’d rather get a VPF and host a tree there if I had too

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Tailscale has messed up my internet connectionEnglish
2·11 months agoIt looks like you fixed your issue but I had the same thing happen on windows 10 so I am gonna post how I fixed it in case someone runs across this thread later.
In my case everything had been working previously but after an arbitrary reboot, my windows 10 PC could ping the local network and nothing else suddenly. No access to the tailnet, Internet; DNS or otherwise. On the wired interface that is. I could connect to WiFi and it would work just fine. I had a DHCP reservation set, deleted the reservation, let it get a new IP and then it worked. No idea why? Recreated the reservation and it still worked back on the old IP again

3·11 months agoBetter than finding their other hub account, amiright?
Since coding isn’t my day job. I use slickedit as a nice fully featured text editor. Or notepad++ in a pinch.
Personally haven’t used a full IDE since netbeans 15 years ago in my university days
