i don't think either of those are genuine or authentic actually

A screenshot of the CPUID Wikipedia page. It says that the Microsoft x86-to-ARM emulator reports its ID string as "AuthenticAMD" and that Apple's Rosetta 2 reports its ID string as "GenuineIntel".

i think it's really, really bad that the most viable way for most websites to defend against attacks nowadays is to have a single company that hosts/defends/funds harassment groups/fascists and provides services to booters who do these kinds of attacks for payment act as a middleman to your server

@gildilinie on modern UEFI systems, if your usb stick has a fat32 partition, it is already bootable; you would just need to put a .efi executable at `/EFI/BOOT/BOOTX64.EFI` (case-insensitive) and it should boot that when you select the drive during bootup unfortunately i don't recall the […]

@gildilinie the ISO9660/joliet filesystem was intended for usage with read-only optical media, not rewritable solid-state block storage; it is very inefficient for the latter usecase (which happens to be the most common usecase nowadays!), and simply throwing files into a FAT32 partition is more […]

i would really like to see a distro deliver its install medium as a unified system image (USI) someday imagine the install steps for a major distro being "extract this zip file to a usb stick and boot from it", no reformatting/flashing required

so i finally found a way to "enforce" checks (making them unable to be dismissed and marking the translations as "needs editing"), but i can't seem to figure out how to enable the "translation quality filter" that should block any translations marked as "needs editing" from being committed

still upset at this, nearly every submission i get is filled with invalid strings that i have to manually revert or else they will break my application is there really not a way to both automatically apply checks to any new strings in a group and reject all strings that fail even a single check

updated my mkosi images and now chromium shows this on boot

A picture of a desktop environment running on a laptop. There is a window open named "Chromium Additional Terms of Service" that has two buttons, one to accept and one to cancel. The text inside says the following:

"This Space Intentionally Blank

In official builds this space will show the terms of service."
