Oh, gotcha. That makes a lot more sense. And yeah, you’re probs right, though it is a bit hard to tell at that angle.

The woman on the right could totally be Gen Z imo.

I like the meme, but I do feel it misunderstood the format a bit. There’s no rules for memes, but I think a lot of the humor is derived from the typical structure of this meme.

From what I’ve seen, it’s usually the older woman saying something that makes sense to our generation, be it a cultural reference, a current event or some slang phrase.

Then the younger woman dismisses it as the older woman just losing her marbles, playing along and then saying “let’s get you to bed”.

Imo the humor is mainly derived from that disconnect— we, the viewer, understand what the older woman is saying perfectly fine, but also recognize that it is contextual, and a younger person may be confused by it.

This meme isn’t bad, but it does stray from that format. It comes across more as a respectful conversation between two people that understand and care about each other. I’d argue that the humor of this one is moreso about the (unfortunate) relatability of the dialog. It does use the ages of the characters well though, since the conversation is focused on generational differences.

also aw man I just deconstructed an internet meme huh?

Oh? So I take it you look at a lot of Gen Z women, huh? 😏

Nah I’m just playin. But being real, lots of Gen Z are adults now. The woman on the right could totally be Gen Z imo.

No worries, you can still have a marble if you want 😄

Sorry for the late reply. Also @Cricket’s response is great and actually references a source!

Anecdotally though, as a user, I’ve noticed that some things require extra permissions. Usually there’s a prompt from the operating system that’ll ask for permission capture the desktop, which lets me specify which window or monitor to share. It uses the “XDG Desktop Portal”, which was already what allowed Flatpaks to securely access OS resources, and it has a whole bunch of different requests for resources and permissions. It’s similar to a web browser, where it’ll prompt you for privileges when an app wants them.

The hardest pain point for me has been that an app cannot detect keyboard input if it isn’t focused. This could prevent key loggers, but it also makes global shortcuts not work. There is a protocol that allows an app to request a key be forwarded to it, but it’s not widely implemented in apps (discord, for example) and I’ve had to rely on workarounds.

Yo if they got marbles in there for my collection I’ll gonna go all night if I need to 😤

Wait, so let me get this straight… this AAA studio, which is a subsidiary of Tencent, which sells microtransactions for sometimes up to nearly $100, and which has incorporated gambling elements and predatory design in their games for years, has now allowed sponsorships with gambling companies in their esports scene? Color me surprised!

Oh, but it’s really for the benefit of the community and players, since it would happen anyways. And It’s certainly not primarily motivated by the huge profits it could rake in. Right. How noble of them.

I’m sure they have a history of treating their players and employees very well, too.

All good! You're still totally right; outside of the context, Linux has quite the user base with servers, embedded devices, and even phones, if we count Android. I think that’s relevant because it means we can’t rely on “security by obscurity”.

I haven’t heard of any such cases, but it is a smaller pool of users. Also, many desktop Linux users know more about using a computer than other operating system users, since it’s less common for Linux to come preinstalled. So that may affect it, too.

I imagine vulnerabilities with the Linux kernel or common utilities do apply to desktop users as well, which is a good reminder why staying up-to-date is important. But to my understanding, exploiting remotely would need a way of sending data to the target. And most desktop computers won’t have ports open to the internet for anyone like servers will.

I know that Wayland’s design does make it more difficult for a user-mode program to act maliciously, like as key-loggers or reading the clipboard.

You don’t see that everyday on PC! I don’t really mind it personally… at very least, the game’s got bigger issues on the horizon imo. Life service and EA~

Do they use much electricity/processing power when they are idle, or only really when they’re being queried?
