  • Privacy matters most in the individual case, with people who know you.

    That statement is subjective at best. My friends and coworkers knowing where I live certainly isn't my concern. In today's day and age privacy enthusiasts are definitely more scared of corpos and governments.

    isn't worth it yet.

    You're thinking too small. Just in the context of the e2ee ban planned in europe, think what you could do. The new law is set to scan all your messages before/after sending for specific keywords. Imagine you get automatically flagged and now an AI is scanning all your pictures for locations and contacts and what not. Just the thought that might be technically possible is scary as hell.

  • Germany is so incredibly scared to be associated with antisemitism since WW2, they're willing to obfuscate and support the genocide of an entire nation. This is beyond despicable.

  • You're misunderstanding the post. It's not about whether or not someone could guess your location from a picture. It's about the automation thereof. As soon as that is possible it becomes another viable vector to compromise your privacy.

  • Torrenting exposes your public IP. In a country where government doesn't care, does that pose a risk?

  • Torrenting/seeding works great with Mullvad, which doesn't have port forwarding

  • I never understood how movie-web got so popular when services like FMovies exist.

  • Any way to autologin with LUKS encrypted boot drive?

    Jump

  • Be aware that kwallet will require you to enter your password if you auto-login. Kwallet usually saves your passwords for wifi etc. That's why auto-login with KDE doesn't make much of a difference in most use cases

  • Wanting to dual boot Windows with Kubuntu. Am I fine getting a Windows 10 key instead of 11?

    Jump

  • It's probably gone. But maybe you could have some luck looking for it in your BIOS like others suggested.

  • I haven't used windows in quite a while, but while I did, on laptops sold with windows there was a recovery partition on them you could reinstall windows from. If you removed that partition you had no legal way of reinstalling, because no key was made available to you at any point.

  • any xmpp user ?

    Jump

  • 3 reasons for me:

    • XMPP implementations have been around so much longer than signal, to me signal would be "just another messaging app"
    • XMPP doesn't require my phone number. Signal might give you the option to use usernames with your contacts, but still requires a valid number for registration last I checked.
    • I can self host an XMPP server instead of trusting/depending on someone else.

    Senate passes TikTok ban bill, sending it to Biden, who has already committed to signing it

    Jump

  • That's not quite what I meant.

    The argument I most often see and is that TikTok should stay because Facebook and Google are just as bad. That's stupid because foreign espionage is obviously worse than domestic espionage to any government.

    If your argument is that the TikTok ban is good and Facebook and Google should be next because of the similar practises then I'm 100% with you.

  • I don't understand why people get so upset about this. Yes, Google, Facebook, etc. hoard your data too. But there's a big difference wether that data is hoarded domestically or by a foreign nation that is pretty blatant about their industry espionage and political propaganda. Yes, the US do it too. But you really can't blame a country for protecting it's interests, be they ethical or not.

  • Not able to resize Firefox (when sized via KWin)?

    Jump

  • This won't help you, but I wanted to chime in and say that I do not experience this bug. OS is Nobara, KDE 6, FF from repo. I have a KWin command to open FF with a specific size at a specific location and can resize it just fine.

  • Open letter: Mass surveillance and undermining encryption still on table in EU Council - European Digital Rights (EDRi)

    Jump

  • The encryption itself isn't outlawed. The law would force all app and service providers (signal and proton for example are mentioned as high risk entities) to implement backdoors. The user to user communication stays encrypted.

  • Is it just screensavers that are broken? Because I have set my screen to turn off instead of a screensaver and that is disabled while video is playing in FF. Maybe it's an option in the mean time?
