  • I don't have to, fortunately. Just decided to check if it's as bad as I thought it was (it's way worse)

  • If they didn't have a suitable threat, they'd have invented one.

  • Does Proton Allow Automatic Forwarding?

  • You can also try doing it yourself via hydroxide + whatever email automation thingy you prefer, for example.

  • Maybe the RAM shortage will make software less bloated?

  • It's okay-ish if you have one such app. It's another story, however, if you have windows 11, where almost every GUI program depends on edge webview.

  • Spotify vs. Anna's Archive

    Jump

  • Add it to the fact that, quoting from the aa's blogpost,

    ≥70% of songs are ones almost no one ever listens to (stream count < 1000).

    The vast majority of the artists are to be "stiffed" of like $3 or less per track during the nearest eternity iff every single one of their listeners is to download the archive and only listen to locally saved copies. Which, given spotify tries to do it themselves by recommending (and, likely, creating) ai slop, tells us more about their predatory practices than of anything else

  • Nah, no ofence to developmentally disabled dudes intended. As for the use of the word, I'd say it's mostly due to my personal deeply negative outlook on language cleansings and some cultural differences. The former is about feds trying to enforce what we can and cannot say, so it's not terribly relevant in this case, but the latter is more interesting: for example, in russian we have words "педераст"*/"пидор", which without context are more or less equivalent to english "faggot"/"fag", and would indeed be considered derogatory when applied to gay fellas; however, most often they're used to either jokingly or not call sb a bad person and don't imply anything about their sexual preferences. Even closer examples are "даун" (a short for a person with the Down syndrome, which is a currently used diagnosis, but hella rude when applied to them; use the full phrase if you ever want to speak about the disorder in russian) and "олигофрен" (pretty much "the r-word", as you call it; also an old name for a medical diagnosis; quite rarely used nowadays since it doesn't really roll of the tongue, but is actually somewhat acceptable in public if you want to call sb. out for their monumental stupidity). So, to me it's quite unusual to somehow associate ppl currently living with a disorder with their historic negative image attached to a word that is no longer commonly used to refer to them; ppl live on their own, and so does that bunch of characteristics they back in the stone age were supposed to possess.

    *technically, it's derived from greek, and means "pedophile", and was even used this way, I think, in the late USSR. Don't really remember exactly, since it's been a while since I went into that etymological rabbithole. So, yeah, even the image changes from time to time

  • Freedom of speech just can't be applied selectively, tho. One day you restrict someone's speech, the next day they are in power and restrict yours. However, it doesn't mean you have to listen to someone, but instead can easily tell 'em to go preach to other brain dead casualties of inbreeding in whatever shithole they currently occupy.

  • I'd refer you to one of the latest episodes of the privacy, security and osint show, but I don't remember the number. So, basically, Michaels solution to that is to get an SD card, place it into a hollow coin and hide it in one of his friend's house, so that he can later ask 'em to retrieve it 🤣

  • HDMI Forum is unwilling to disclose the 2.1 specification for open-source (Linux): according to AMD, they had submitted a functional, HDMI 2.1-compatible driver [for linux?], which the Forum rejected.

  • Why even buy 'em, tho? They're basically shitty monitors with spyware for brains.

  • Qualcomm has started enshitification of Arduino

    Jump

  • Imo, arduino is also mostly a software project nowadays. While they did make a bunch of avr boards that were quite novel and interesting at the time, now they are not as good in terms of both price and performance compared to various arm-based boards.

    What keeped arduino alive is a bunch of libs and arduino ide cores for various boards ppl have written over time.

  • Snapdragon X1 Elite Linux laptop cancelled due to performance concerns — Linux PC maker says Qualcomm CPU is ‘less suitable for Linux than expected’

    Jump

  • "Less suitable [...] than expected" is kinda terrifying given expectations must've been pretty low in the 1st place knowing their history with linux...

  • Breaking: Google is easing up on Android's new sideloading restrictions!

  • Haven't heard of it, personally, except the case with introducing a vulnerability similar to the case with the xz backdoor that wasn't merged. Would appreciate the link, tho

  • Uh-huh, sure, just about protecting the users. Nevermind that actual malware is regularly found on play store, and exactly 0 times -- on f-droid they're "protecting" the users from.

  • Delete only one

  • Does it matter, tho? To me it looks like all phones are ultimately the same for quite a while now. Pixels used to be better mostly due to providing the ability to effortlessly unlock the bootloader while being the de facto aosp testing target, but as of lately they've decided to fix that, not to mention their moves to enshitify away the option to side load the apps. Samsung's always been a wannabe crapple, and crapple is crapple.
