  • IDK about each specific requirement (especially the "inactivity" one, but ... dude, just log in every 6 months), but I'd say a lot of "privacy" email providers should meet your needs.

    Try looking into Proton mail (warning: you'll have to setup a local relay if you need IMAP/SMTP) or maybe search the web for something like "privacy email provider free" and look into the results.

  • Are right wingers creating FUD around Signal?

  • vi or vim [...] :q to quit

    you are depriving OP of an experience there... getting stuck in vi is a rite of passage nobody should be denied (but, alas, a lot of distros carry nano nowadays)

  • sim card from Ebay , bad idea?

    Jump

  • You should ask the seller to make sure, but I'd assume those cards will require KYC on activation? I mean, if Romania requires KYC it's difficult to think someone can sell anonymous cards on ebay.

  • Windows is hell, i need to do something

  • Same here, until I read OP's intentions.

    Writing stuff to trigger people is the definition of being a troll (well, one of the possible definitions).

    It's worth nothing that a mediocre troll can sometime pass for a comedian.

  • Edit: the linux-company thing is just for triggering people, sorry I didn’t know it was this effective.

    Errrr... why would you try to trigger people, especially while asking for their help? Don't you think it's plain rude?

  • General Availability of AlmaLinux 9.4 Stable!

    Jump

  • Most newbies would have a hard time and most experienced people would grab the "unofficial" non-free image for installing just in case and then disable non-free if it wasn't needed.

    I've not verified this, but does the installer actually install the non-free firmware if it's not needed?

  • My /var/tmp folder is endlessly stacking up on "container_images_storage_xxxxxxxxxx" folders?

  • Copyleft licenses are not “restrictive”

    Jump

  • Note that even most “permissive” licenses are by definition conditional

    You do realize the whole discussion is about what terms to use for differentiating between GPL-like "restrictive" licenses and BSD-like "permissive" ones? Saying that both are "conditional" really doesn't help anyone.

    (also "by definition" the license's grants may be "conditional", not the license itself - it's not as if it looses validity under some condition)

  • Copyleft licenses are not “restrictive”

    Jump

  • Man, people do love arguing about words without providing (or looking up) their definitions.

    Does the GPL being non "restrictive" mean I can use GPL code in my proprietary software? What word that doesn't offend you should I use to describe this fact?

    This is as useless as the git main/master branch debate a while ago.

  • Ideas for a federated anime tracker

    Jump

  • but this most likely is against the ToS of every anime tracking website

    AFAIK scraping publicly accessible websites is fine in most countries (IANAL, look into it)

  • European Law Enforcement Officials Declare Encryption Must Be Broken To Ensure Public Safety

    Jump

  • You seem to be describing the US system (or some other common law one... but I believe district attorney is a US-specific term?)...

    IDK about other EU countries (I guess they are all the same in this regard?), but in my Italy the public prosecutor has zero discretionary power when it comes to indictment and must, per the Italian Constitution, proceed based on the investigation outcomes. So there is no "help me catch the bigger fish and I'll only charge you with some minor crime" like in the movies.

    So... yes, what you describe can happen to anyone, but it can't happen just anywhere :)

  • European Law Enforcement Officials Declare Encryption Must Be Broken To Ensure Public Safety

    Jump

  • To be fair: previous generations of police officers, back when most people used phones, have made extensive use of wiretapping (and current policemen still do, of course).

  • What laptop do you use/recommend?

    Jump

  • Thinkpad A485

    I had one of those, but the trackpad occasionally wouldn't work until I rebooted several times (I was using fedora). Did you run into any similar issue?

  • Does Firefox have a memory Leak? Crashes after being open for too long.

    Jump

  • No idea what's actually happening, but it might also be one of the pages/sites using more and more resources wothout proper cleanup.

  • Cops can force suspect to unlock phone with thumbprint, US court rules

    Jump

  • Makes perfect sense to me (not a lawyer, not a US person)... what doesn't make sense is how many people still think biometric is high security (maybe because of how cool they make it look in the movies?)

  • Err.. you are asking that even if I literally said it is world news and only complained about how little relevance (global newsworthiness) the fact has?

    Anyways, it seems I must have mistaken the purpose of this community... I have no interest in a twitter-like feed or random low-quality news from all over the world so I'm leaving. Sorry if I've been a bother.

  • @mods, this community needs a rule establishing some minimum relevancy threshold. News like the one in this post may technically be "world news" but they would hardly be worth a mention in any non-local newspaper
