To sanitize the traumatic video as much as possible: A man is driving under an overpass and a brick is dropped through the passenger side window instantly killing his wife. He reacts in horror.

Just install protonup-qt. Gives you an easy, UI based, way to install GE-Proton without messing around copying files manually.

Using autistic as a derogatory slur is rude for no reason.

It also adds noise to the site metrics and recommendation algorithm making them less valuable overall.

It’s like the application that will watermark images with digital noise designed to throw off AI training that uses that image.

You’re no longer a user who is able to be profiled (because you ‘like’ things completely at random). If everyone was using a plugin like this then advertisers wouldn’t be able to serve targeted content because they wouldn’t know what content types work best for each user because every user clicks ads randomly and so there is no detectable signal, just noise.

You get the same effect, but reduced, if less people are using it.

In addition, if half of the users on a website are using adblockers and suddenly those users start clicking ads, then it costs twice as much to advertise while not providing any additional customers which makes spending money on web advertisement less attractive.

It’s not even practically the same thing, it is exactly the same plugin as uBlock Origin, same UI, blocklists, etc but with added features.

Exactly. You can’t completely avoid being tracked but you can ensure that your profile is just noise without any value to advertisers

Yeah.

Is that a fucking problem?

Yes this isn’t limited to billionaires. It protects everyone who owns private jets…

OP didn’t update their repost bot to understand what it’s reposting.

The article says that they would just lie too.

Like, they claimed one guy (18) was there to meet a minor (17). When the reporter reviewed the logs it was clear that he was there to meet an 18 year old.

Getting views is more important than catching a bad guy

I’m over here heating water in a kettle because of Technology Connections (and also pre-heating my dishwasher)

They’re really playing with fire here.

So many MAGA supporters are seniors who are entirely dependent on OASDI. If Trump’s minions break this, we’re going to see torches and pitchforks strapped to electric scooters and golf carts coming out of Florida retirement communities in droves.

It’s like when they say “We value your privacy” it really means “Selling your data is worth a lot of money/value to me”.

“User Security” means “We want to secure customers/users for our cloud services by forcing a login to a microsoft account”

Most people are more worried about remote attackers than someone physically putting hands on their PC. But, yes, you should pretty much without exception be using full disk encryption.

It’s very assholish of Microsoft to lock bitlocker behind the Pro license.

And now we move on to the second item on the agenda: Advanced Protection against Shrubbery and Why We Need It

to prevent exactly this scenario

I’d love to be in the group that brainstormed this exact scenario

Their contributions are welcome and appreciated.

But, given Microsoft’s history, any suggestions from them should be treated with skepticism.

Hand over the project?

You go to GitHub, click fork and now you’re the new project lead.

It’s always kind of weird to see people (not you, just something I often see in these threads) treating open source projects like they’re commercial products where they can make demands.

These are projects done in people’s free time and their work is provided to everyone for free. Sure, report bugs and feature requests but crossing into personal attacks on the developers or going full Karen (“red flag” is usually a good indicator of this type) is out of line.

Don’t use projects that you don’t like, sure. But no person is entitled to dictate how another person’s project should go. That’s why there’s a fork button.

And for some reason suddenly everyone leaps back to the side of the FBI and copyright because it’s a meme to hate on LLMs.

It’s almost like people don’t have real convictions.

You can’t be Team Aaron when it’s popular and then Team Copyright Maximalist when the winds change and it’s time to hate on LLMs or diffusion models.

Someone forked Infinity and made a Lemmy client, called Eternity: https://f-droid.org/packages/eu.toldi.infinityforlemmy/
