Ah I see, I misunderstood. I just tried the latest classic version and it was all mouse. I agree then that it's disappointing as someone who has played both versions
I can roll with that. I do have executive dysfunction and other "fun" facets of a funky neurobiology. I also recognize that every body and mind is different and it's a personal journey to find the right tools.
I recognize that non-medical options should always be front line approaches but there can be a chicken and egg effect as to making that happen.
In my youth I adhered to a "better living through chemistry (wink wink)", I do now too (rip Mitch Hedburg) but the wink wink part is very rare and disciplined and now it's all about pharma and supplements to wring what I can out of what I've got left.
First of all, starlink has been jammed in conflict zones.
Secondly, the number of satellites doesn’t really matter, the jamming happens at the end user level not at the satellite.
Finally, where are you getting that 20k number from? It’s not like there’s 20k starlink satellites in LOS to your station at all times. The earth will be obscuring many of those, they are below your feet on the other side of the planet.
I'm saying that's what you do in order to solve the issue. You have to actually try, and you have to do actual engineering.
If the local planning commission submits a call for proposals for a bridge to cross a 400 foot chasm over sharp rocks, and they insist that it absolutely, positively must be made out of popsicle sticks, local civil engineering firms aren't going to take up the project, because that's insane.
Why do we give the management of these places a pass for PLC and SCADA systems that could give massive problems - up to and including the loss of human life - if they're hacked?
Hey, I feel your pain. Here's a way to get a high karma account: focus on grinding on submissions around popular topics. Even if you can get just a few upvotes they are worth it.
Submissions cannot be downvoted. Only comments can be downvoted.
Try to keep the comments neutralish or at least built a pool of good karma around your submissions first, and then work the comments.
Recent work in this space has got me looking at using local models for daily use. I’m waiting for people to start dumping some of the previous generation minis on Facebook marketplace or eBay so I can pick one up. Of course there’s also other options. I’m still hammering out my requirements and what I want to do besides putz around.

I did. There's at least one huge hole that the system -as described- seems to not account for:
> If they use an official [root partition] published by their distro, then it is likely sufficient that it is signed by a key in a multi-party-controlled ... enclave[.] Now, even though the user-accessible portion of the OS is entirely unprivileged, the user can be trusted to download new signed UKI images [from their upstream provider] ...
Distros often fail to preinstall all the software a user of a general-purpose computer needs. How does the user of this system add new system software to be used by every user of the system, rather than just the user who installed it? Suppose that the user wants to swap out the upstream-provided syslog daemon with rsyslog, or the user wants to install ghostscript for use by every user on the system... how is that done?
If the answer is something like "The user builds their own root image and signs it with keys that they manage, and then loads it into an update server that they control so their computer can automatically update to it.", then that's equivalent to using sudo with a ton of extra steps. If the answer is either "They use access control and elevation systems that means they're effectively root to augment the software load on the read-only '/'." or "Don't be daft, there's a single user on the system." well...
What mike_hearn said to you is also quite relevant:
> ...if all the apps that matter are installed to ~/.local then you're just removing the need to obtain root at all for most attacker priorities.
Slightly tangential question: Does having a spruced up Mac Studio help learning the ropes of model tuning and/or development as good as having a CUDA device?
Well, hopefully something changes in the App Store space. It's quite unusable for discovery, there's no ability to filter apps for free/pay once/no iAP/no recurring subscriptions/no adverts.
The lack of filters combined with allowing slop means for example, it's impossible to find a paint by numbers app because when you search in the app store, it's 100+ clones that all charge $5 weekly OR have the most obnoxious adverts imaginable making it unplayable for people who aren't very technical. I'd have paid a straight $10 or $15 depending on the app, but if there is one with a single payment it's impossible to find.
Combined, the app store is unusable unless you already know exactly what app you want to install.
Mac OS X binaries are the most susceptible to bit rot of any major OS. There's constant platform churn, all of it closed source, and there's nowhere near the community that exists around emulating older Windows.
You can reliably run DOS, Win, Linux applications of almost any vintage with the right translation layer / emulator, but there's a black hole of MacOS apps circa 2002-2012 that just no longer runs on anything, even later Intel Macs.
I used to enjoy a cute little Pacman clone called Pac the Man X, for example, and I just don't know how I could run this today. Seems to reliably take down any emulator I've thrown at it - presumably it's using some kind of graphics acceleration that's not emulated. (Suggestions welcome.)
I've had the issue on multiple phones. Firefox nightly seemed to fix it for a while but it suffers from it too after a while. I need to test if it's UBO or the sister comment that says closing tabs and restarting helps. It's only on certain sites I really notice it, maybe JS or video heavy sites. NYTimes in particular.
If you overpower a signal, is there a difference? I'm not saying you're right or wrong here. I'm just saying there's a long history of coverups in the government and military.
If you can say, "oh we were only jamming" when in fact you were spoofing, well that's certainly a super easy excuse to hide behind.
