A pre-registered checksum will ensure that the downloaded file is what it says it is before running. So yes, it is safe. Unless you’ve found a collision in the checksum algorithm apple is using, although the chances are better that you’ll squeeze water out of dry desert sand.
(Edit: To those thinking they’ll rely on just code signing for this, you’re likely way off base.)
Don’t worry. His entire set is the joke.
Cloudflare is amazing , until it’s not. Chances are you’ll fall within the 95% that have a great time, but if for some reason you draw the ire of sales, engineering, or a system bug you’re gonna have a bad time.

Tried! Added one of those white barrel self leveling poke tools (can’t remember specifically what they’re called). It was a huuuuuge pain in the ass and only works about 50% of the time oddly, lol.
Not really. I purchased one with pretty significant maintenance/process requirements, had I gotten one a little more seamless (self leveling/etc) I think I’d use it far more often than I do now.
Thanks for the psa op
This is likely due to a compatibility issue with your usb port causing lower than necessary amperage to be provided to the usb dongle so it’s not able to fully power it’s antenna. Quite common with the laptops I work with at work, except it only happens to the side with a daughter board and non standard controller so the fix is just having people plug it into a port on the other side. That all being said, it’s almost certainly not the kb/mouse as even the weakest 2.4ghz dongles can go for 5-10 feet without any degradation of signal.
I once bought an Intel processor off of ebay for a similar "great, but not too great to be a scam " price. The seller shipped “it” and provided the tracking code with a delivery date to my municipality. When it finally read as delivered I checked my porch and sure enough, nothing. So I reach out to usps the shipping provider with the tracking info. Turns out this seller didn’t even send it to my address, but a random po box in my city. I called ebay with this information (as well as the identical complaints of the exact same experience from several other people who bought from this seller who’d dropped negative reviews in the past week. No big deal, clearly a hacked account used for a scam, right?). Well, ebay told me that despite them not using my shipping address, provably (I had the usps rep who was kind enough put that in writing), and despite the other negative reviews with the same experience, they’d not be giving me a refund since the product was shipped. It took days of arguing over the phone with them, them threatening to close my (in good standing since I’d bought things here and there) account, and them closing my case unresolved for me to just file a charge back with my credit card provider. This caused my account to be closed (losing access to all previous order receipts/etc) and is coincidentally the day I decided I’d never do business with Ebay again and provide my honest feedback on this experience to anyone considering purchasing from them in the future.
+1 for namecheap. They’ve been reliable and fair to me for years.
Did anyone actually expect decent upstream support from Qualcomm? I know they do upstream quite a bit, but when it comes down to their bread/butter it’s generally kept private and on lockdown.

Can we not do politics? I generally like the comics sub, but my exposure to politics on lemmy, social media, wherever is at such all time peak nonsensical levels that I just block all politic related subs, and would like this not to be one of them.
That is the question best asked I suppose.
Just pondering the difference between something that is practically inescapable in a finite human lifespan vs something that is surely escapable given a removal of that metric. Merely the first thought I had when enjoying the art, no point to be made of it… More mumblings of a idle fool/thinker?
