what? why is your house incinerated?

nowadays companies are people legally so why not

honestly I can read it pretty fast now

let me get this straight. if we learn it 20 years ago, and we keep practicing, it’s not hard, is that right?

a few years ago I read an article about CSS-based fingerprinting, where they were using media queries to load specific tracking pixels. no JS required.

they do at the linux foundation

I mean taking away the development access to the project. what do you mean? google based captive portal checks and the similar hidden “gems”?

guess what, I did years ago. I can’t realistically recommend that to the averafe joe, though.

you and perhaps @curbstickle@lemmy.dbzer0.com, may I ask if you use samba with portable devices, like laptops?

I do and my experience is that programs that try to access it when I don’t have network access tend to freeze, including my desktop environment, but any file managers too if I click the wrong place by accident. but it occurs enough without user action too.
oh and it breaks all machines at once if the server or network is down. which is rare but very annoying.

did you experience this too? do you have some advice? is SMB just unsuitable for this?

honestly I would prefer if the cifs driver would keep track of last successful communication, and if it was long ago instantly fail all accesses. without unmounting so that open directories and file handles keep being valid.
and if all software on this world wouldn’t behave as if they were doing IO on the main thread. honestly this went smoother with windows clients but I’m not going back.

username checks out!

how did you get them?

we are quite literally powerless. what are your suggestions? are you ready to meet sundar with a printed gun? as if that would solve this problem.

why do we need a new one? can’t android be salvaged? lots of things have been solved already in a way that makes a relatively good foundation.

the best outcome for the short term would be to forcibly take away android from google and give it to an independent foundation. as I heard antitrust proceedings in the usa were heading that way a few months ago

that was a good joke

just be sure to check if the deletions sync timeframe suits your case. in the new 2.0 deletions are not remembered forever

I think windows does shut down, but the hardware in your computer does not, and so when booting linux, the hardware does not start with a fresh slate. It’s not reinitialized, keeping configuration and possibly custom firmware from the other OS.
interestingly, it also means malware could also escape a reboot this way… and for the network adapter, maybe it doesn’t even need to be compatible with linux to work.

what you mean though is the fast startup setting of windows. that does hibernate the computer as you say, after it logs out the user.

so basically everyone. I don’t know where have I read it but its true: after this you won’t be able to help your relatives and friends (when they ask) to use apps from fdroid that won’t just blatantly steal their data and usage habits. not everybody is ready to have their OS replaced, it comes with loss of functionality thanks to fucking google integrity checking, and because lineage os often has significantly less features than the original system, but in lots and lots of cases: their phone is not even supported by a reputable custom rom, or any

what’s fun in a successfully booting system? we are arch users for a reason!

yeah, but that’s the fault of the HDMI standards group. AMD cards could only support HDMI 2.1 if they closed their driver down. I guess this can’t be fixed with a DP to HDMI adapter either, right?

my opinion: displayport is superior, and if I have a HDMI-only screen with supposed 4k 120Hz support I treat it as false info.

and how do you explain that to your family? you got off youtube, but they won’t be happy.
