I was curious, so I had to look it up. Turns out, Aristotle found and already written treatise on the idea of palm reading… I know it’s not exactly palm “finger” printing, but even our ancestors knew palms were unique.

Yeesh. I relate fully to the brother part. Mine also likes to pretend, but at least isn’t that oblivious about the terminal. Intervention, though?! LMAO

Perfect. Sunday is for the kids and the laughs, let’s throw in Flight of the Navigator for good measure.

Why do people assume that a new biometric is more secure than the ones already in use? In all cases, an authority figure only has to knock you out and they have all the access they need.

Even Spaceballs shows just how easy this is to defeat.

I’m pretty sure the VP of engineering knew what I was up to, but I think he also understood that I didn’t get paid enough to be as neurotic as he was and I generally got stuff done ahead of schedule any way.

I used to do something similar when I was working in embedded systems, specifically because my superiors had no idea. I would just put our OS up to compile on repeat so one if my machines was always spitting out nonsense (but vaguely related to work).

“Sorry boss, just waiting on the new build to finish up so I can start on that.”

I agree. There are so many available now.

Absolutely perfect. I was traveling with a friend and we decided to watch a movie I had on my hard drive. Once I booted into i3 and I had to use a couple key chords to navigate, they said, “Your computer gives me anxiety.” 😂

Same person almost shit their pants when I replaced youtu.be with yewtu.be in a URL to get a region locked video to play. I am a bonafide hacker in their eyes.

Sandy is becoming a legend in my feed

Pretty sure that’s a French thing (Napoleon), but maybe you’re French and that’s what you mean by “here.”

Sun Tzu also said something similar before Napoleon (Art of War, Ch 4-2):

To secure ourselves against defeat lies in our own hands, but the opportunity of defeating the enemy is provided by the enemy himself.

Makes sense, considering Taoism comes from China. The philosophy is “wu wei”, which essentially means, “Action without Action.”

I didn’t know about Dash, but it sounds pretty great. Appears to be Mac only, though, and requires a subscription for the latest version.

Also found someone that appears to have converted HelpPC to HTML. Can’t speak to the legitimacy of it, though.

Came here to say something similar about a local archive.

You can also use the app Kiwix to make it a little easier to download/search (and grab several other doc archives like Python PEP and Wikipedia)
