I don’t trust ladybird’s dev. he is vocally against a minority, calling their existence politics

that’s why you never boast with how much money you got, folks, especially on the internet

so anyone reading this, the post was about pewdiepie doing some video about switching to Linux. I guess OP got scared about the comments and decided to get destructive… I should really set up my website autoarchiver script because this linkrot thing gets boring real quick

This is what needs discussion. It is this tool which will lead to harassment due to the way someone votes.

wrong. voting users are already visible through other services, like mbin. and the information is already there, those who are really interested are already scraping it, this just makes it more accessible and also serves as an eye opener

I find this whole thing weird because some federating platforms (like mbin I think) already show voting users publicly

yeah, it seems dell is just utter garbage

they are forcing it. if you are not determined, you won’t be able to get an offline account. many are not determined. many don’t even realize that it’s not for their benefit, even after onedrive starts announcing it daily that their drive is full

Why even bother theorizing that BitLocker may be compromised when they’re removing local accounts for consumers and forcing the key to be uploaded to their servers anyway?

yeah, with that, it’s basically compromised, but maybe not bitlocker itself but the key storage

where I live they never really taught conputer literacy. some places teach ms office and that’s it

they’re not doing this for your security. They want to know that your computer is a “trusted platform”.

security in terms of Trusted Computing is never about your security, and neither about your trust

EDIT: Further lunatic conspiracy theories: BitLocker is/will be backdoored so Microsoft forcing you into that ecosystem further guarantees they have access to your system. This all stinks to me, like your landlord telling you how you can arrange the furniture in your own apartment.

a backup of your bitlocker key is in your Microsoft account, and normally nowhere else. It’s pretty easy for Microsoft to lock you out of your ow computer and data completely, if they wanted. Because you supposedly violated a license, or the terms of use or anything. just sayin’, Microsoft already has (and had for a few years now) a scandal about extorting for your personal phone number by locking down your account a few days after registration, until you hand it over. and even there they justify it with a ToS violation, which is just a lie

did you try calculator++? on fdroid. it has a lots of operations, a function plotter and a floating window mode

I have been using IPS displays for many years, and I had to look up what is IPS glow. now I see it, but it doesn’t bother me. what bothers me is that my dell monitor is absolutely garbage on reproducing dark colors, while my much older cheap LG is very good in that. like, the black background of the terminal shows a very visible difference

yeah the famous linux phones

even more so if you think about the newer ones recording their environment, the whole neighborhood etc, with cameras and/or radar/lidar

considering region locks and region based licenses are still a thing, you’re probably more of a criminal in their eye than openai will ever be

well, for one firefox is not a stripped down browser but one with conveniences like push notifications, safebrowsing and other things, while ungoogled chromium is a specialized browser built for those who don’t need all that. don’t forget also that chrome can’t be patched up on many fronts, ublock’s dev gorhill has written about them here

that being said, mozilla could make a first time setup page with an option for convenience and another with a menu for selecting which services do you want. but I wouldn’t hold my breath

It’s informative in terms of which parties are basically notified that you started using it. why the fuck does zen load discord, x, bunnyfonts, and whatnot?

I can only hope floorp and zen devs are ashamed of what have they done. all of those third party domains like discord, x and those mundane ones are totally unnecessary

the GPL does not protect against information hoarding

that depends on the driver that directly talks to the gpu. these cards are still cryptographically locked down to stay on low clocks when it is not driven by the official driver
