So “any phone” turned into “virtually any phone”, and the owner needs to be alive and apprehended, and then they “most likely” can, maybe.
See, I mostly agree with what you said. But you can see how we have moved the goalpoast away from “there is no phone the government cannot get into”, to “the government can get into most phones”, which is quite a different statement.
Is this an advertisement? Sure, yes. The government can get into any phone? No.
Scott Manley has a video on this company and flew it himself, he was quite impressed.
Probably depends on the store, but the 2 times I bought a laptop in my life, both stores had a No OS option in the drop-down, which brought the price down. (One actually came with no OS, the other came with FreeDOS IIRC for some reason)
You are trying to get your displays to work since 2003? Damn…
I saw your other comment, still funny
I moved from Fusion360 to FreeCAD. It definitely has a learning curve. But I took a few weeks to properly learn it, and I can now do all I did in Fusion. It’s not as polished (although getting there with recent versions) and not as powerful for some applications. But it’s free, open source, and I can laugh at Autodesk and their subscription fees.
Yes it’s misinformation that you have to disable the sshd with a kernel boot parameter, because no sshd is being run in the first place.
You do have to accept the gift though. You can’t just force a game onto someone.
Yeah what I need is an alternative to xprop and xwininfo.
I would love for you to dispel the problem I wrote about: how to find the list of open windows (and whether they are focused or not), for time tracking. I don’t believe kdotool can do that, from what I see.
There are still many things that don’t work on Wayland, which work perfectly fine on X11. If you don’t need any of them then Wayland is perfectly fine, but many people do need them.
For example programs can’t read from or interact with windows of other programs, so for example a time tracking application can’t work, or productivity scripts using xdotool don’t have a Wayland way to work.
Both of these use cases are needed to me.
You never used cheat codes in GTA San Andreas and the like? It’s a lot of fun
The data shows everyone uses their Windows 11 taskbar at the bottom of the screen. You can’t argue with that.
They were not only not allowing it, they immediately blocked the user’s attempt to put it on their servers and banned the user for even trying. That’s as far from allowing it as possible.
The VPN is not supposed to protect you from an authoritarian government, it’s meant to bypass the ID requirement, which it does very well.
I rewatched the series finale now, and his conclusion seems as I remembered:
He didn’t even bring up his issue in the conclusion. If you can timestamp any “fuck Linux”, I would love to see it, because I really doubt he ever said that.
That being said, while it’s obviously his fault for ignoring warninigs, it’s ridiculous something as basic as installing Steam got him into that situation in the first place, it’s pop os’s fault for shipping a broken package. And yeah, things like that really don’t happen on Windows.
Yes, once Billet changed their mind after not liking the review, they mistakenly sold it and paid them back.
Uhh, he promotes Linux at every step? You are free to dislike him and his content, but he’s absolutely a force for Linux adoption.
The explanation made sense to me. They found Honey was stealing from creators, but still saving money for users, so it would be very self-serving to make a fuss about it, instead they only let other creators know. From the users point of view it was still a great product (from what was known at the time).
I get what you are saying but I’m seeing this from a different perspective.
The first statement is saying “there is nothing you can do”. You shouldn’t care about your privacy, you shouldn’t try to be careful, you shouldn’t fight for yourself. The government is all powerful and you should accept your fate. That’s why I don’t like these sweeping absolute statements. They promote giving up.
The other is “this is hard, but it’s possible to win”. And sure, you probably won’t win if the government is specifically targeting you and sending agents with rubber hoses against you. But in all likelihood they aren’t. And there are many things you can do to prevent actual passive surveillance affecting you.
