Damn it. I just switched over from Google about a month ago. Worked on creating lots of aliases for my signs-in throughout the internet. I’m not leaving this easily, but now it’s something that I’m thinking about and will bounce if things get worse.
210·23 days agoIt means that since you connected to a public wifi without a VPN, other people are connected to you and seeing all your traffic. Time to start changing those passwords!
2·27 days agoI haven’t used Windows in about 3 years, so I may be out of date, but in my experience, Ubuntu and its derivatives work easier with scanners and printers. For me and my printer-scanner combo, I literally just have to place it and the Linux desktop on the same network/WiFi. I don’t even have to add the printer-scanner. The OS finds it in the background on its own. It confused me the first time it happened because like you, I had wearisome issues in the past. Last I used Windows, I had to tell the OS to search for the printer and find the drivers for it myself online. Now, it’s installed before I open up printers on my OS.

It is probably wise to assume that the next serious data breach at Google will end marriages, get politicians arrested, get famous people canceled, fuel successful scammers, and have every other privacy impact you can imagine. We know the Google data pool is massive, and we have reason to believe it is incredibly personal. I’m aware that Google has anonymozation solutions in play, and I do not believe those solutions will be effective in a breach scenario.
That would be an interesting experiment. Maybe cancel culture and public shaming will cease when everyone realizes no one is perfect and most people do shitty things from time to time.
why bank when you can dank
in my experience, FIDO tokens suck. I have to around 10 times every time I use one to log in.
It’s not an approval rating. It’s a rating of what percentage of users find the post and discussion worthy of attention.
As a novice with little training, I’ve found AI to be helpful with running a server. Other than that, I depend on my own internet searches for info.
But the thing is that here in Europe, we are more relaxed than USians because we have government mandated vacation days. It’s even better when I get sick at the same time because I can catch a free ambulance ride to the hospital near the beach since there is no “out of network” medical care (whatever that means) here. I can then take mass transit from the hospital to the beach and make university-educated friends with everyone because tuition here is free. Because I didn’t die in a mass shooting when leaving the beach, I can order a reasonably-sized meal that doesn’t cause instant cardiovascular disease and not leave a tip because our servers are paid a living wage. I can’t imagine the horror of living in such an underdeveloped country as USA. I am so glad I am in the EU.
