@jrballesteros05 Yeah! AFAIK there was a bug in how Windows handled jpeg images when generating thumbnails. You could use a specially cooked image to run arbitrary code.
I believe it wasn't even fixed when Windows XP went into the limited support status. MS just advised everyone to turn off displaying thumbnails for all folders 🤣

Хотя я теорию множеств изучал так давно, что если бы меня попросили описать в двух словах то, что изображено на картинке, я бы и круги Эйлера не вспомнил 🤣@th3rdsergeevich

@Rezard Применительно к мемасам видимо расхожий термин: knowyourmeme.com/memes/hexafus
🤷🏿‍♀️

@th3rdsergeevich Спасибо! Теперь я знаю правильное название таких схем.

@lieslia_sau@mastodon.ml Вот моя любимая картинка в таком духе 😹

@safiuddinkhan@fosstodon.org Looks like a prequel to The Expanse — origins and history of the Belters 😅

@Hawlucha I don't think they'll collect your voice samples and your phone number if you call support as there is no way to handle this automatically — they don't know anything about the account you use, just your voice and phone number. Linking that to your account will require manual input from support engineer's side — and that is the last thing he/she wants to do I think.
But I suppose it depends on your paranoia level 😅

@Hawlucha Linking a phone number was never mandatory for me though, e-mail always did the trick, you've got to have a non-MS email-address linked though.
It offers this from time to time, but there was always a button like "Not now" or "Do it later".
The only time they insisted on entering some phone number is when I've sent too many e-mails in a short period — some antispam measure, I think.

@Hawlucha I've never played Minecraft, but I have MS account. It gets locked out once in a few months, mostly when using TOR. I don't think this happens when I just use VPN with exit nodes in different countries as Proton tries to keep their IPs from getting blacklisted.
It's always a bummer as I have to change my password six times to set it back to original one (AD-style security measure). I know it's me, there is no point in changing the password, right?

This one gives off strong vibes of The Process from Transistor game: a cybernetic entity imitating organic life.
Not that I'm against this cancer devouring the city. The blocks of flats behind it look terrible 🤢

— Argh, all right…

Так себе выбор, нельзя маршировать в масках к кошкам 😿

@iska@mstdn.starnix.network I don't think original st had that, that's why I asked 😉
Original st is so fast that I prefer it as a default term, I only use patched st for mutt to have color emojis.

Yeah! Not just US and Canada, it looks like mankind as a whole went back to teenage ways of dealing with problems. That's pretty bad, but I'm sure we'll live through that.

@nerdtronics@mstdn.starnix.network TUI enjoys kind of revival nowadays, but I don't see a lot of people watching movies using aalib output. I wonder why🤷🏿‍♀️

@iska@mstdn.starnix.network Oh, I see. Pywal is cool, I've given up using it as I spent too much time theming and found a look that I could stick with for long🤣
Does your st support transparency or is it just a background picture?

They've made the button visible again in 8.1 and they've made a setting in Windows 10 to make it look more XP-like and with Windows 11 look almost as horrible as Windows XP did. So I'm back to linux-based opetating systems. Good thing, there is now so I don't have systemd and I don't have to fsck around with it all day like I did with Gentoo 🤭
