If one does that, be prepared to defend yourself against the copyright infringement lawsuit that’s coming your way eventually.

In that case why block the add-ons in the first place? There is a risk that the “Mozilla is blocking privacy friendly add-ons on the behest of an authoritarian regime!” news will become more widely known than any correction. If it had been a planned PR move then any person involved in it should never work in marketing again.

I’m definitely guilty of that sometimes.

I was thinking the whole week if I should vote the greens or the pirates but due to the recurring campaigns to establish a surveillance state I did end up voting pirates. Incredibly disheartened they didn’t get a seat :(

I remember warning labels on BIOS updates that basically said that if nothing is broken, don’t do the update because the risk of bricking the device did not outweigh any potential benefits. That vendors are now pushing mandatory BIOS updates through Windows Update is terrifying.

I’ve seen that done for configuration management like Salt or Ansible. The repos for that were always hosted on internal Gitlab instances though.

Quassel, self-hosted.

Please no. :( I do like 99.99% of online payments through them because the convenience they offer is really great, especially with recurring payments. :/

I tried it out and it has some issues here and there but seems to be on a good track to become a good Mediaplayer. I’m not 100% happy with Strawberry and used to use Amarok way back when before I switched to the, now un-maintained, Cantata. I’ll definitely follow the development of this.

I have a big library of music, mostly MP3 or OGG and don’t really see myself pivoting solely towards streaming services where access to songs could be revoked at any time or could be changed/censored like movies or series sometimes are on streaming platforms. I do use YouTube for listening to new music and when I like it enough, I buy it to download (or acquire it in a different way if it’s not available).

I really wish we’d have chosen a term that does not include “sex” because it leads to a distorted view such as yours that it must be sexual. It’s in the name after all, right?
But heterosexuality has been promoted to kids for ages now! Children’s shows include married couples for example (husband + wife) or the main character goes into a relationship with a character of the opposite gender. So why does the same thing suddenly become “grooming” and “inappropriate” when it’s husband + husband or wife + wife?

Also, covering homosexuality in school does not equate to having “kids choose their sexuality”. Not to mention that it’s not a choice anyway.

Yeah, being able to seamlessly switch between the desktop app and mobile is a must for me so that’s something I already prefer in Signal.

Don’t think it would be that easy. What Yast does is creating a middle layer between the actual config files and the user. You can look at it, most (if not all) of it is stored in /etc/sysconfig. Yast generates the actual config files out of what is stored there. This can be a headache because editing the config files directly will sometimes lead to them just being overwritten bei Yast again.
This is probably the reason why other distros don’t even want to adopt Yast, it would have to fundamentally change how it interacts with the config files.
And the cool new thing is Cockpit anyway, even though it can do only a fraction of what Yast can last time I checked…

How is it even legal to call for the murder of so many people using one of the most atrocious weapons humanity has invented…but if one were to suggest to apply a guillotine to this person for doing so, they would be in severe legal trouble?

I don’t think many docker images out there will have keepassxc installed though.

Though now that I’m more awake I think it’s probably unrelated, I haven’t seen this circulated around that much.

I wonder if their recent blog post promoting conspiracy theorists and right-wing people turned away more people from telegram than they expected and now they feel the need to spread FUD against their competitors.

Instead of reformatting it just logs you out and demands buying a Heal Crystal for 350 Linux Diamonds. You can buy Linux Diamonds in packages of 400 for just 9.99 or buy the 800 package to get a 10% discount!

I tried to install Windows 10 about two years ago as a dual boot option. The selection on which disk to install it on always failed with some obscure error. Turns out the installer couldn’t handle multiple disks being available so I had to unplug every disk except the soon-to-be Windows 10 disk…whereas the openSuse installer was able to setup a pretty complicated RAID+encryption setup easily.

Helldivers 2 works on Linux.
