  • Why I no longer use a VPN (most of the time) and nor should you - YouTube

  • If you've got something you're that worried about keeping private, go home, and break everything with a computer chip, a radio/network. Because if it's not listening now, it's only an update away.

  • Has anyone here gone through the process of getting a third party petition to involuntarily treat a loved one with a mental illness?

  • Have you tried writing to them? This helped my partner and I. Tell them how you feel, your worries, what you want and why. Give them as much time as they need to process it and respond.

  • Why AI is going to be a shitshow.

  • Rupert Murdoch has entered the chat.

  • What if only those who commit suicide get reincarnated? Like you failed the exam and you're forced to re-take it.

    Jump

  • Suicide is more like not turning up to the exam and taking it later.

  • If corporations are people, are shareholders slaveowners?

  • They're not people, they're cancer to society.

  • Firefox Getting Translate Selected Text Feature, Here's How to Try It

  • Assuming it's not cached and sent next time it talks, of course.

  • Microsoft won't update your Windows 11 PC if it has these apps

    Jump

  • Probably a good starting place would be to take the three apps you need most, and just search the web for guides to running them on Linux. That'll give you an indication of how much work you might/not be in for.

    e: also if a guide says "just run this shell script" even chance it's not just that simple.

    Oh Crap, Am I Pro-Slavery?

    Jump

  • Yeah, that's why it's the chaotic neutral solution.. We would need to organise food, water, comms and energy supplies almost immediately. We'd to have to work together, and that is chaotic.

  • I think a fun way to protest would be to stop the economy. Just all simultaneously stop working and spending, stay home and spend time with our families.

  • Only their word until someone does it with a sniffer. E: I suppose, or looks the source but someone answered better now.

    Note: Unlike other browsers that rely on cloud services, Firefox keeps your data safe on your device. There's no privacy risk of sending text to third parties for analysis because translation happens on your device, not externally.

    Jump

  • If they're games, protondb (.com) will tell you how well you can expect them to run. Other stuff, it's often a case of search the web or try and see. Wine takes some getting used to, you'll probably have to get your hands dirty and do a little learning.

  • It's owned by money, not people. I left with apis and 3rd party apps. Glad I did, quality has taken a real noise dive. Now I just read from old. If there's a reason, without logging in.

  • Windows 10 is the last version of Windows

    Jump

  • In that way I'm like a professional cook that spent all day cooking for others, so when they get home they just don't have the energy to put all that effort into themselves.

    Funny that, I'm a Linux admin. I actually run my own servers for everything. I'm a firm believer in whoever owns the hardware owns the data. It's just like work but with tools that I like. I like knowing where it is, and it's not going to end the world if it's offline for a time.

    I did windows admin for about 5 years though up to 2008r2, and I have to say I do like AD and ntfs ACLs (except when they break). Those times do contribute to my aversion.

    I too know a thing or two about developing, back in the day I did C, pascal, C++. I remember how much easier delphi was than mfc. I got out of developing when they started dumbing down the tools further (why didn't you die, java.. C#, etc.) Electron can't die in a dumpster fire fast enough.

    Don't start me on teams. I'd say the same for o365 though. Hard to believe these products make me want work to go back to lotus notes, domino, sametime...

  • Windows 10 is the last version of Windows

  • That's really the biggest problem I think Linux has, unfortunately it's also one of Linux's best features - it's not a uniform experience. Yours won't be the same as mine, etc.

    Some things that should be simple aren't, and sometimes getting things going can be frustrating, and you will without question at some point have to troubleshoot and fix something.

    I'm fortunate that I have a lot of background and experience in the industry, and I can understand people don't want to go to that trouble, just like people don't want to learn to cook.

    Most things in Linux I find these days do plug and play to some degree, but there is absolutely missing effort and/or openness from the hardware vendors. Like not being able to configure macro keys/extra mouse buttons without a windows vm.

    Having said that, I found the way windows was going, adding crap into the os that I don't want, and constantly changing where settings are etc. Changing my defaults, and so on. There's just too much I don't like about the way it's managed. Also, winsecure.

  • Windows 10 is the last version of Windows

    Jump

  • Well I suppose they were right. Windows 10 was the last version of Windows for me. I'm okay with not using what little only works on windows. Unless you need something more niche/specialised, windows isn't worth the pain.

  • Microsoft warns deepfake election subversion is disturbingly easy

  • I suppose, could be harm reduction. Like peeling a bandaid off slowly instead of ripping it off.

    They're here, they might not be everywhere yet, but they're here to stay as much as photoshopped images or trick photography are. Just more lies to hide the truth.

    All we can do now is get better at dealing with them.

  • Court Bans Use of 'AI-Enhanced' Video Evidence Because That's Not How AI Works

  • If only it worked that way in practice eh.

    We found these marijuanas in his pocket, they were already in evidence bags for us even.

    The model that can separate the fact from fiction and falsehood will be worth far more than any model creating fiction and falsehood.

  • Microsoft warns deepfake election subversion is disturbingly easy

    Jump

  • Oh, right. Microsoft is a corp. They don't care about the harm they do until it costs them money.

    e: also, I love to bash on ms, but they're not the problem here. These things are being built all over the place.. In companies, in governments, in enthusiasts back yard. You can tell Microsoft, Google, Apple to stop developing the code, you can tell nvidia to stop developing cuda. It's not going to matter.
