I think overall they are not better or worse than other tech giants. They try to be the platform for blank and thus to push competitors out of the marked, or lock it down so they can’t enter. They try to extract as much money from their customers as they can, even if it makes the user experience worse. They push the boundaries of what the can legally do. They charge you, but you don’t own anything.
What really grinds my gears is how they try to force stuff on me that I don’t fucking want. I feel like they are completely different in that regard than for example Google. I use Google Maps because I want to. I don’t use Chrome because I don’t want to. It’s that easy. They don’t ask me to reconsider, they don’t make it super complicated to switch, nothing. I can disable any Google App and forget about it.
To stick with the Google comparison, I also feel like Google informs me better and gives me more control regarding my data. This feels much more hidden on convoluted in MS products in general. For example I had no idea Office is basically spyware before reading about it elsewhere. In Google-land, they seem much more upfront about what they use and what I can opt out from (or in to).
Sure sounds like the French way of protesting
I wonder what’s the strategy here. If I had to guess I’d say he wants to see them fail miserably, so they lose support as quickly as they got it. I’m not sure that’s a good idea tho.
You do need to authorize admin action on Windows and it causes severe security issues, because people do it without thinking all the time.
You can also configure Linux to have this behaviour, but for security reasons it works differently out of the box. Also, some programs, such as many terminal emulators, can cache you PW so you don’t have to enter it multiple times.
I use a U2F key for sudo and it’s just one touch. One touch you need to sit in front of my computer for.
Holy shit, that is a sweet deal. What I think is more interesting however, is that it’s also kinda revealing that they think law works like this in the West - and also what level of control they think is acceptable for a state to have.
I mean, a lot if people will have Nvidia hardware - which will limit your distro choices right from the start and if said green hardware is recent, well you’re fucked (for just a little while longer it seems).
I prefer Flatpaks, not only because I support the format, but also because of containerization and the ability to clean up an application completely.
I absolutely hate it when apps randomly place config files everywhere.
There are plenty, although some might be regional, others had security issues. In Europe, I know of Klarna, Skrill and (kind of) Revolut. In the US there are Block (Cash App) and ofc Google, Apple and Amazon… But I guess they are not really an upgrade :D
Germany: Great!
Italy: Hurray!
France: Love!
Austria: 😐
The US spends more on public education than multiple states where it’s basically free for everyone. Now take a moment and appreciate how badly you are ripped off.
Waterfox? Librewolf? Why not both?
Is using btrfs an option? Offer transparent compression at FS level
The middle thing is not what normies do, it is what enterprises do, because they have other needs than just knowing ‘error where?’
I think TOML found a pleasant compromise there
I’ll hold weapon shipments because I think Israel is bombarding civilians, but I will not stand for people accusing them of war crimes.
Is it just me or would it be way, waaay easier to just throw them under the bus completely? Biden could end the protests, avoid this absolutely ridiculous balancing act, and, if an all out war breaks out after Israel loses his political support, the US could still sell them weapons.
I’m not saying this is the best course of action, but what he does seems kinda irrational. Feels like it’s nothing but hurting his chances in the election.
Remember that blind test on LTT where no one, including an esporty player, could reliably differentiate between 120 und 240 Hz?
I know it’s not exactly the most thorough experiment ever, but it’s all I needed to know.
Edward fucking Snowden has recommend Signal and I think if anyone knows whether it’s secure, it’s probably him and the NSA.
That and he is paranoid to a point where he physically kills all mics and cameras on his devices, so if he claims anything is secure, I will believe him unconditionally.
Can’t someone just take one for the team and assassinate him? Like, I think he deserves worse than a quick or even a slow death, but at this point it seems like a totally acceptable option.
Is there no electron wrapper around ChatGPT yet? Jeez we better hurry, imagine having to use your browser like… For pretty much everything else.
