End-to-end encryption matters if your device isn’t actively trying to sabotage your privacy.

If you run Android, Google is guilty of that.

If you run Windows in a non-enterprise environment Microsoft is guilty of that.

If you run iOS or MacOS, Apple is (very likely) guilty of that.

FAT chain traversal sounds like a diet plan. 😅

“couldn’t do anything”

This was a third-party implementation problem, not an OS issue.

By the time Third party software stopped being all loosy-goosey like the OS was windows XP, Microsoft had already re-branded the OS to Win7.

Vista’s UAC wasn’t any more problematic than sudo is.

Cloaca

I feel like she looks a lot like an actress. Who am I thinking of?

Just install the widget first, then add it to the panel.

Think of the extra steps as an NPC guiding you back along the proper path for trying to do it in the wrong order.

It doesn’t matter how these things are configured, you’ll have extra steps if you insist on doing them in the wrong order.

[edit] Why does order matter? Because permissions. Why do permissions matter? Because fundamental OS security.

Boomers are not a collective hivemind, generations are divisions the rich use to dominate the working class.

The feetdraggers will slowly, begrudgingly follow–as always.

Fewer than 50% of the cells in “your body” contain your own DNA.

There are many more bacteria, since they are much much smaller than “your own” eukaryotic cells.

Where you end and your “gut flora” begin and end is not as clear as you might first believe.

The difference is that each Windows upgrade is objectively worse.

Also, even if it wasn’t, a large number of the people who use Windows don’t continue to do so because they really loved Windows, it’s because they’ve always used Windows and don’t want anything to ever change.

So each EoL kicks their asses off their ledge and they have to make the biggest fuss about it, because that is just what using a computer is for them.

It’s just a mentality thing, and not something they’ll readily put into words because it’s clearly futile and churlish.

ni

or

neeeeeeee

is the sound my new kitten makes in most circumstances.

Example: When trying to climb a pile of pillows that instead falls over,

“Neeeeeeeeeeee”

They are cool friendly predators, but my cat is a bigger one.

To your point, Ukraine lacks resources for both Ice cream and bbbrrrrrtttt.

They are fighting for their freedom.

If the USAF doesn’t want to deal with the A-10s supply chain, there’s a good chance Ukraine doesn’t either.

The only thing that keeps the A-10 flying is Congressional mandates from a few jobs-oriented congressmen.

To be fair, Kamala is our third Presidential candidate this year. 😂

I don’t understand why everyone assumes using a VPN means paying for a third party.

It’s because that is what is advertised to them.

Its worse. He’s a Mormon.

Have you ever seen a real roadrunner?

Also, push notifications. Most things could be done from a browser, but corpos have to have their push notifications.

It doesn’t matter if you’re the guy who turns every notification off and manages all those… 9/10 people won’t.
