  • This is more akin to you taking a picture of your own junk in a public bathroom stall. Or using face unlock while you're on the toilet.

    Obviously nobody's gonna win in an internet argument but you should really take a look at the extremes with which you view this stuff. /Serious.

  • Exactly, we are on the same page.

    That's why external feedback is needed. When you exist within a hierarchy you can discount your "lessers". Everyone needs feedback. "They should've known better" is a fine thing to say but not helpful in a system as devoid of morality or hope as capitalism is.

  • Magic earth is ok for nav but the problem with all openstreetmaps options remains the terrible search. This has been my experience for the past decade.

    Recently the folks at jmp.chat released an alpha search which passes navigation intents in Android to the nav app of your choice, so I think we are getting close to a real alternative in the next few years.

  • The irony of this is (1) apple being their major competition (their only competition with more than 1% market share) and (2) their history as being the console maker that wanted to essentially sell a home theater PC as a console.

  • Tons of tutorials out there but think of it as two pieces 1 is a bunch of servers that hold Stuff 1 is an index that tells you what that stuff is

    If you're willing to pay $5-15/mo for ease of use, it's a reliable way to get data of all kinds. Some is even legal.

    Tldr: It's the client-server version of torrent's peertopeer

  • Don't be a gatekeeping dick. I was there to use limewire and had only learned of Usenet 4 months ago and the benefits are non obvious by design.

  • But what happens when everyone hates the design? How's that for morale?

  • *your

  • Stockholm syndrome ;)

    But honestly it's been several years for me, since before covid, but at the time it only looked good by virtue of Amazon and Hulu being godawful. Now I just have my own jellyfin server set up with Linux isos, and jellyfish open source UI puts Netflix to shame when it comes to browsing Linux isos

  • Is this supposed to mean something? I'm old and not up to date on the new script kiddy slang.

  • It's basically a credit card through an online bank that draws from a debit account.

    For me, as a later of protection, I made a free capital one account (any will do, cap one was mostly random and i don't particularly endorse or hate them) and then the pdotcom "credit" draws from that. Their early implementation was using a prepaid debit card but they switched to credit like 2 years back and it's been good ever since. Even with other solutions I can't recommend enough taking a look.

  • And when you make hyperbolic comparisons between people who actually make malware that actively destroys people data or is used for identity theft etc and a company advertising it's own products within it's own product, I think that makes you a bad faith actor.

    Do I think either of the things you listed are good? Absolutely not, I only still use Windows because I'm technical enough to disable most everything I find objectionable and that level of effort is less than making Linux work for me as a daily driver. But this is like when the Linux nerds started calling Ubuntu spyware. If you accept a definition so broad most companies fall into it it becomes useless and so bereft of nuance it actively damages the efforts of those who want change for the better.

  • What the actual duck are you talking about? I genuinely can't figure it out.

  • Thank you for being constructive and helpful

  • Seems so simple they could have done the same in the article, so thank you for reinforcing my point.

  • No, actually, nothing I said implies that at all. It's standard for authors in all fields to define their acronyms. And yes, I absolutely expect American authors to define their terms. The fact that we am American I don't notice that irs is undefined in a given article doesn't mean that's permissible.

  • Pretty straightforward systemic failure -- Dev team, I would guess, assumed full disk encryption would cover it, and nobody checked the assumptions. Or to rephrase: it was fucking obviously encrypted dude.

  • No, it's not. Check your priorities.

  • You're on Lemmy so I assume you're in a tech job, so honestly I'm surprised by your surprise.
