So can this whole confrontation be avoided if I offer your cat some milk?
I lurk the Reddit’s onion site using tor and turn JavaScript off. I don’t even have an account there anymore so I can’t comment on anything. This way they don’t get any advertising dollars from me. But it’s the best way for me to keep up with what’s new and upcoming in some special fields that I’m in.
Isn’t it hilarious that we are at the point where we even need to say this out loud. If the release isn’t better than what’s out now, just don’t release it yet. Why rush to something worse? Just to sell more new devices?
it seemed to work for apple. they don’t even allow nsfw apps or games
check it out. Linux client available, or build from source, since it’s entirely free and open source on GitHub. so glad I discovered it (from another lemmy user).
too late, I already use Freetube, I don’t even use a Google account anymore to subscribe to channels. It’s FOSS and entirely out of the browser as a seperate client so they can’t even store cookies. Haven’t seen an ad or even a sponsored chapter in weeks now (native feature). Download with one click also! Get wrekt Google.
it is bad if they don’t realize how simple it is to pump their own gas. That’s about the equivalent of a possibly regular task like being able to unencrypt your own files. I’d say it’s important enough that you should not be relying on anyone with the potential security of your own personal data.
Your drivers license has a picture.
Yes, and per the definition, this is not a biometric. Or is there some way around this?
There was an article a few days ago about the Western world moving to universal digital IDs verified with biometrics to replace passports and that is quite significantly different than a picture I took 4 years ago on a bad hair day pre COVID.
I always thought reddit awards were stupid but this post makes we wish lemmy had a way to super upvote.
Microsoft and apple are the reasons boomers have learned helplessness with tech. It helped them sell units in the 90’s to imply you didn’t have to ever consider anything under the hood because it all is supposed to just work like magic. you just hit the switch and let electricity do it’s thing.
eventually the feds will require your biometrics to even get a driver’s license, so it will explicitly be the law that that information be openly accessible (or at least verifiable) for you to even reasonably exist (the alternative is to not drive or be able to access any services which require ID).
laptop bios updates are usually .exe files if the stock build ships with wendoze on it. I don’t make the rules unfortunately. you have an old dell or lenovo that you converted to a linux machine, you have to deal with the devil occasionally.
just run windows to go off a pendrive and you don’t have to worry about it stinking up your default drive and taking up valuable space.
As much as I hate being bled to death by subscription services, It’s probably still cheaper to subscribe to windows for a whole decade than use an apple computer outright for half that time.
The majority of Linux users aren’t in it because it’s free (as in free beer) anyway, and most broke gamers will likely continue to just pirate windows regardless.
However now that data usage and privacy and security is becoming a hot topic in the age of AI, I think once Microsoft and apple both start getting really brazen with their telemetry and embedded spyware, it will finally be the year of the Linux desktop! ;)
this is inaccurate. the only thing that hurts in your thirties is your financial security and your aesthetic pride

I’ve never cringed so hard while choking with laughter.

Future, nice.
From the bottom of my heart, fuck you Pfizer. I have had Covid twice, had my blood oxygen drop as low as 79, and I would still rather die a miserable covid death than suffer the injustice of being greed raped by the absolute worst caricature of capitalist pigs that actually came to life. I hope that money makes your board members miserable and can’t do much to treat the uncurable, flesh eating disease your evil pig carcasses should be justifiably riddled with by karma, leaving your kids to donate your disgustingly afforded estate to charity to cleanse themselves of the nasty aftertaste of human suffering, the faint stink of people who are trying to take paxlovid and recover from a major virus in the rain and vulnerable cold because they can’t afford both rent and medicine, after your death. Burn in hell, you uncaring scum.
EDIT: I realize this is a lot of vitrol to throw out into the universe, but they likely won’t ever see this on Lemmy, and to make matters worse they clearly won’t care anyway. It’s just my own version of catharsis, I guess
