I didn't say dressings on sandwiches 🤣

Flatpak haters seem to believe that if an app isn't on their distro's repos, it's the developers' fault. by wuphysics87 in c/[email protected]

The broader meta point is that X thing you want isn't the devs job, btw.

Proton launches privacy-focused Google Docs alternative: Docs in Proton Drive is an open-source, end-to-end encrypted collaborative document editor by wuphysics87 in c/[email protected]

I'm gonna try to see if you can use a windows vm with proton drive and a shared folder with the host system. Kinda a pain, but if it works it works. What I'd really love is an api for this kind of asshattery

I imagine it is. Developing something like that in house would take a lot. Probably Collabora or something.

It's hard to argue that guns don't make the proverbial bad guy more efficient at killing. If guns weren't the most effective tool for killing someone, cops would carry cheaper alternatives like billy clubs, and wars would still be fought with swords and bows.

Tough to legislate, no?

How Would You Handle Students Cheating? (lemmy.ml)
submitted 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

I gave my students a take home exam over spring break. (This is normal where I teach) One of the questions was particulary difficult. It came down to a factor of three in the solution. That factor inexplicably appeared with no justification on many of their exams. I intend to have the students I suspect of cheating come to my office to solve the problem on the board. What would you do?

Edit: I gave them the Tuesday before spring break until the Thursday after. I didn't want it to be right before or right after.

When I say normal I mean giving take home exams.

Why aren't more people creating new operating systems, considering that macOS, Windows, and Linux were developed by individuals with computer science and programming skills? by wuphysics87 in c/[email protected]

Define "operating system". It's important to know that Linux is only the kernel and....

What are Some Good, Recent, and Available Dumb Cars? (lemmy.ml)

I have a 2010 Toyota Corolla. She's been my trusty steed for the last 14 years and is in good working order. I recognize she won't last forever, and if, god forbid (mostly for her) I get in an accident, I will need to get a new car. So what dumb cars do you drive, and what would you replace them with?

What are some prominent stories about AI and cyber security you've seen this year? Are they just improvements upon old techniques or are they novel? (lemmy.ml)

My reading has found things like generic phishing becoming more like spearfishing and blue teams finding preexisting problems using AI. Have there been any zero days? Do you think quantum computing will have a more significant impact on security than AI? Relatively speaking, how significant a role does good personal security practices like password management play relative to these two?
