Isn’t some of this taken from AAVE? Like “crib”.

Are you implying that everyone using Facebook is a pedo?

You’re mostly right, but I disagree about the bit about paid software and vetted developers. Open source like Linux is also mostly developed by programmers hired by companies, so there’s no difference there. Proprietary software has also had problems with malicious developers and there’s less transparency there.

Desktop Linux so far was meant to be a fun general purpose computing experience for geeks. Throwing extra security layers on it evidently spoils some of that fun, you can see how Linux nerds react to things like Polkit, SELinux, Wayland or Flatpak. But PCs in general suck at security, they’re based on legacy tech from an era when cybersecurity wasn’t even a concept.

Huh, I’ve been following “This Week in GNOME”, didn’t realise KDE is doing the same thing. Thanks for sharing, I’m gonna follow both, it’s nice to see progress in Linux desktop, even if it’s not my personal choice of software.

I got a WD Red from Amazon (Marketplace) that looked exactly like a legit one, though kinda scratched up. I was only able to tell because I tried running a SMART test and it didn’t even fail, it just didn’t work. I got suspicious, so I tried to register the product on Western Digital website and it lacked the necessary code on the label. I then contacted WD and confirmed it was fake, thankfully I could return it and get money back.

Verbatim Datalife HTL BD-R discs are supposedly made in a similar technology (some folk on r/datahoarder think they’re exactly the same but idk). At the very least they won’t have the same problem as DVDs (no organic dye) and they actually work out cheaper than half decent HDDs. I can get 25GBx50 cake for £30. I’ve only started burning them a year or two ago so time will tell if I lose my data :x.

None of the articles I’ve read about this explains how the GDID gets mapped onto the user’s activity.

“Windows device carrying GDID g:6755467234350028 had visited the ngrok signup page”

So does it mean that Windows monitors your activity outwith just Microsoft services and sends all data to their servers? Is it maybe MS Edge history sync?

I hope so :(

They’re doing the “civilising mission” spin on the cultural genocide of East Turkestan and Tibet.

They’re trying to be ironic, but they’re clearly showing same patronising attitude towards indigenous peoples.

Alcohol is a hard drug.

Because otherwise they’d be considerate of others and just wear a top, it’s not really hard, basic clothes in modern times are easy to come by for everyone. I think men should cover up as well; male chests are also commonly viewed sexually, people just don’t treat female or gay sexuality as seriously.

thrill seeker, mentally ill, hippy, or something else

You call men like that “perverts” or “sex pests”. Women can be those things too.

Would you say the same to breastfeeding parents?

No, that’s a situation where there’s a genuine reason to do it other than wanting to prove something or being a creep.

It is a violation of people’s sensibilities. People don’t wanna be exposed to nudity for personal or religious reasons. No need to expose yourself and violate that, no reason why one can’t just cover themselves up appropriately and avoid hurting others.

I think men should cover their chests too.

£7.25 is super expensive, I’d never buy a steak for more than £5 and even then I don’t buy them usually.
