reshie··on Before Pong, There Was Computer Space
whats kind of funny is that the first games where graphical. text adventures where later even.
reshie··on Where Have All the Sex Scenes Gone?
and most tv's are computers now as well.
reshie··on Police find electronic signal-jamming device inside California home
yes but it could just be mounted somewhere too then it would be about good detective work and people skills but wven then. it can be triangulated to a degree by its radius.
reshie··on Police find electronic signal-jamming device inside California home
police during riots.
reshie··on Familia Toledo: The most inexpensive computer USD $99.00
reminds me of those cheap atom netbooks years ago entry level was around that price though they could not handle much browsing and word proccessing in a small portable form(video was a issue though). most today do a lot better in that form but are usually in the 250$ or so range for entry level.
reshie··on CalyxOS – De-Googled Android Alternative
im sure your looking at stuff like fdroid. there are definitely sacrifices that have to be made but there are quite a few alternatives to the more popular stuff.
reshie··on Bye CUPS: Printing with Netcat
ffmpeg can point directly to the webcam under /dev/.
reshie··on High-End Gaming PCs Banned in Six US States
how does this apply to builds ie are parts next. many gamers build thier own pc's. i am personally no where near these high end but do build my own.
reshie··on What Keeps People from Using Password Managers?
many do today they just do not know it. on phones alone they are integrated. transfering and having them accross plateforms is a bit more tricky with those though.
reshie··on Google Drive bans distribution of “misleading content”
i hope your getting paid to do so cause thats a full time job. we have to trust some. the gate keepers can be rife with corruption and other influences. most do not have time to validate most things is mostly what i am saying.

there needs to be a middle of control and freedom without the bullshit.

reshie··on Thousands without power during record-breaking heat
this is pretty normal in the nevada regen the summer heat that is.
reshie··on Doing something is better than doing nothing for most people: study (2014)
expectations is perhaps a personality problem and lack of honest communication. normal is subjective even if it is inherited from societal norms. communication and being able to talk freely is key.
reshie··on FFMPEG from Zero to Hero
there is winff(not sure of its state today) its totally just a gui frontend even shows you it working in console for an example of something already written. scripting can help with more complicated operations but just for common shorthand there are aliases which can be written out scripts single command lines and pointing to script files.
reshie··on Diablo II: Resurrected
looks good. the pixels are gone and the ui where similar and recognizable got a overhaul. i would assume it supports resolutions of our era as well.
reshie··on If you want peace, study war
The Genius of the Crowd.
reshie··on Artificial Intelligence – The Revolution Hasn’t Happened Yet (2018)
i like to think automation comes before ai. we automate mechanics then we automate decisions or protocols.
reshie··on PureOS: Freedom, Privacy, and Security
ok coreboot. libreboot was a means to simplify it. its "core" is still very alive.
reshie··on PureOS: Freedom, Privacy, and Security
libreboot as well is interesting for your lower level stuff.
reshie··on In 1980s Los Angeles, a bank was robbed every hour (2019)
thats right. what it did was giving the police more militarization and most police now carry an ar in their cruisers(used to be shotgun at best) and also lot more military surplus like nraps.
reshie··on I3: Improved Tiling Window Manager
well some people make fancy borders and the like. a tiling window manager shouldn't look like anything really just your programs. its very utilitarian i like i3 but am still partial to dwm; i3 has a lot more out of the box and probably easier to configure for most until you want to add your own patches then dwm is a lot easier imo.
reshie··on I Hacked into Facebook's Legal Department Admin Panel
because it works but some people think it getting in criminal hands is too big a price.
reshie··on California judge says L.A. officials 'arbitrarily' set outdoor dining ban
from what i have seen most places have bubbles over each dining table. its still a gathering though.
reshie··on Brow.sh: a modern text-based browser
some find that as a perk.
reshie··on Silk Road Bitcoins worth $1B transferred after seven years
socially guilty or innocent. there are some that all it takes is accusations but legally absolutely.
reshie··on I am seriously considering going back to desktop computers
laptop docks so your not wiring everything every time and more ports. a desktop is a lot more modular but not mobile. with cloud sync(personal local or remote, or third parties) having two computers is less of a hassle. i see them with the same purpose but different circumstances but a laptop can play both roles with ease with the right setup.
reshie··on YouTube-dl has received a DMCA takedown from RIAA
not to mention its a console cmd and works well in scripts. i used it for a lot of sites that have their videos free but i used a console browser and used this in a script that i could call through the browser. i never looked at how it worked or what i could do with it in a non legitimate way but i wonder if i did unintentionally. i wonder if its the download part that is the issue though for some sites can have free to watch but might have issue with downloading funnily enough screen recording does exist.
reshie··on Web History: Browsers
learn from the past live in the present prepare for the future.

saying by someone

reshie··on Uzbl – Web Interface Tools Which Adhere to the Unix Philosophy
there are others in the same vein my fave and close is probably https://luakit.github.io/.
reshie··on The most prized degree in India became the most worthless
true but its like saying African as a ethnicity even African American is pointing to both. there is original regionality to ethnics so to speak. perhaps our terms are at fault here but is still accepted and not negative in a racial context.
reshie··on Making Emacs Popular Again
i've always called it a DE for console.
