Every sale to every individual buyer requires separate handwritten notice, each individually attached to a copy of the privacy policy and the data sold, notarized and sent by certified mail in triplicate, with postage paid by the sender. Make it cost so much that the entire industry becomes obsolete.

Google owns Widevine, they would be paying a fee to themselves

Got rid of all of my centralized social media accounts apart from YouTube, moved from Proton to Migadu on my own domain (unlimited aliases! when signing up for a service I can just make up a new username and it gets organized into a folder in my inbox!), and moved my homelab and laptop to NixOS

Personally I would rather they had to make phones a little thicker again to include a properly sealed battery compartment, the new ones look very nice but it’s too hard to get a decent grip without accidentally bumping the edge of the screen.

Maybe the whole back side of the phone is the battery, and the two sides are independently watertight? The charger port and usb controller could be on the battery too, that way you can replace it if it breaks or you want to be compatible with a new fast charging specification, and you could charge it independently if you have more than one.

The pancreas is an organ which produces a hormone called insulin, which regulates the intake of sugar from the blood.

In type 1 diabetics, the pancreas has been damaged by an autoimmune reaction, so they need to monitor their blood sugar and administer insulin to the blood using external equipment.

This can be done manually with a needle and glucose tester for measuring blood sugar, and a syringe for administering insulin, or an insulin pump and continuous glucose monitor, which adhere to the skin and have continuous access to the blood through a cannula.

Being able to administer insulin without a needle or cannula would eliminate a common point of failure in this system. The cannula of an insulin pump can easily become dislodged from the skin when disturbed and leak insulin onto the surface, resulting in high blood sugar and wasted insulin.

I still haven’t gotten any popups at all on Firefox with uBlock, not sure what’s different about my setup

if they sold DVDs of Netflix’s shows that would actually be pretty nice, but I doubt they would be OK with allowing anyone to actually own their media.

I know that Calckey and its descendants support it since I verified my account on a Calckey instance, and Akkoma mentions it in this blog post.

Every good result they serve you could have been an ad, so they’re incentivised to replace as many with ads as possible.

ah wack, XWayland then? that should at least stop it from snooping on Wayland apps

It could, so while you’re using it you should make sure you don’t have anything sensitive onscreen.

If your desktop supports Wayland at all, you could switch to it while using Zoom, even if other things don’t work as well, then switch back when you aren’t.

If you’re using X, it would be able to read your inputs for other applications and such, but if you don’t do anything sensitive while it’s running it still won’t be able to do anything.

If you put zoom in a flatpak and tighten its permissions, it won’t be able to touch the rest of your system

Good, if someone is selling their labor they should be protected as an employee.

Games that have native Linux versions are uncommon, but Steam on Linux includes a program called Proton, which provides a Windows-compatible environment so that games made for Windows can run without being manually ported. It isn’t exactly the same, so some games don’t work quite right, which is why not every game is compatible with Steam on Linux.

Any game that’s compatible with the Steam Deck should run fine on any other Linux system, as long as the underlying hardware is powerful enough.

I think you missed a letter…

How is this better than a normal messaging protocol like Matrix? What does blockchain add to the solution?

Would be an excellent change if they replaced it with a chronological timeline, but we all know they won’t do that even though their backend already generates RSS feeds and it would barely take any effort to integrate with the frontend
