(I don't like this kind of data collection either fwiw, not trying to defend them or anything)

On Android at least, device id's are unique per app, and reset when you reset your phone to factory. In theory they can't use this data to cross-track you personally, since every service that uses a device id has a different one for the same user.

They can probably still build up a pretty accurate profile of you based on other data they collect though.

Ahh that does make more sense. I thought it was just showing a sort of alias besides the real name.

This is already a thing, on my pixel at least. There's a "file as" input if I expand all fields of a contact.

Reaper is great, but unfortunately I've never been able to get my VSTs properly working on linux, especially ones with a full GUI like a lot of drum vsts do.
It's literally the only reason I still dual-boot windows on that machine.

Yup I'm using an MX Master 3s (and 3 before), one with the unifying and one with the bolt receiver, both worked out of the box.
At home I have an mx vertical and pro x superlight, which has its own receiver iirc, both also worked out of the box.

The only thing you have to install yourself is solaar, so you can change the built-in settings of the mouse.

Just press volume down once and it'll stop ringing without actually hanging up. I think that works on pretty much any smartphone.

The recording feature isn't available in a lot of countries, including mine. Even though it is legal to record calls without informing the other end here.

Ghoelian , 2 months ago to Technology in Meta cancelled climate change ads, then cancelled a local newspaper that reported about the ads, then a blogger who reported on the paper's cancellation, and now has escalated to blocking all of LGF

I tried that website as well, ublock origin just blocked the pop-up for me. Definitely a big reject all button once it shows up though.

One of my monitors is "HDR ready", whatever that means. Sure as shit doesn't look like HDR though

Ghoelian , 3 months ago to Selfhosted in Verifying -arr Downloads?

Qbittorrent has a feature to execute a command on torrent complete iirc. You might be able to write a few ffmpeg commands to verify and delete/move/whatever based on that result. Not very user-friendly though ofc and requires some bash knowledge.

Depends on the terminal I think. Pretty sure KDE's Konsole warns you that commands may be run when pasting something with newlines, but still allows it.

Fetching remote code isn't allowed on the play store at least, though I'm not sure how well they're enforcing that.

That's the reason termux isn't updated in the play store anymore iirc, it has its own package manager that downloads and runs code.
