Don't give Microsoft ideas for their built-in scanner.

MonkderZweite ,

Stylus, usercss.

MonkderZweite ,

and a janitor picked up the phone

True boss picked up.

MonkderZweite ,

I guess you can't get that detailed info without root? Snoopsnitch only supports some devices so i guess it works on a lower layer.

MonkderZweite ,

Nope, can't deciffer that emoji.

MonkderZweite ,

German stuff.

apt hooks get in the way of your thinkering.

Chat Control May Finally Be Dead: European Court Rules That Weakening Encryption Is Illegal (tuta.com)

The EU Court ruled that “Backdoors may also be exploited by criminal networks and would seriously compromise the security of all users’ electronic communications. The Court takes note of the dangers of restricting encryption described by many experts in the field.” Any requirement to build in backdoors to encryption...

MonkderZweite ,

Does this affect secret services too?

MonkderZweite ,

Google it. scnr

MonkderZweite ,

Btw, there are fast and beautiful M.2/NVMe to USB cases, for your SSD.

MonkderZweite ,

Asrock's DeskMeet or DeskSlim series could fit your bill in a small form factor.

MonkderZweite ,

So pdftotext/ocr and an AI that can summarize.

Wait, there are already AI who can summarize.

MonkderZweite ,

But checking a box only works if they can somehow determine you're human (cookies, crawlies, i dunno). Which may work if you're only using uBlock, but not with a hardened user.js.

Office 365 asking for permissions to change browser settings (lemmy.world)

I have to use certain Microsoft apps for work, so I strictly only use the web versions as I am on Linux. However, just seen this setting pop up in Word while working on a document. I wonder what in specific they would change, considering i am on Firefox. Does anyone know anything about this? Is there an actual good reason for me...

MonkderZweite , (edited )

Maybe they should implement cross-browser then, or create a native app. Hell, there are tools to convert any webpage to a electron app.

MonkderZweite ,

Voyager has the nice feature to mark posts as read if you scroll past them. Has no way to create posts though.

MonkderZweite ,

Ah, thanks! Though not in aggregates.

MonkderZweite ,

uBlock Origin is pretty much approved by Mozilla and ads are a big attack vector while Chrome is spyware.

If they use Windows, you can use Firefox Portable of PortableApps.

MonkderZweite ,

The modem is separate from the SoC and is connected internally via USB.

I guess that's a pinephone thing, to keep modem and phone separate? How is it usually connected, with all the things it can do on your phone?

MonkderZweite ,

More likely people lack the time.

Quite an unhealthy lifestyle.

MonkderZweite OP ,

But uBO does already the job and more of NoScript.

MonkderZweite OP ,

And has some incompatibilities with modern FF features, no?

MonkderZweite OP ,

Some webextension features & security stuff i believe? Someone once explained it in length here, a few months ago.

MonkderZweite ,

Cut it while it's still in the plastic.

MonkderZweite , (edited )

No link, no AUR and hard to google, thanks.

edit: the joke fell flat, because with how modern replacements often are named, fewer could easily have been a modern less.

MonkderZweite ,

Same problems as any firmware based encryption (encrypting SSDs, etc.). Firmware is quickly outdated and the triangle price - speed - security usually neglects the security part.

MonkderZweite ,

For a while, until they don't.

MonkderZweite ,

All those hoops with their market share make it poisonous to the whole E-Mail space, same as Outlook. And despite that, 90% of spam i receive is from a random Gmail adress still. I strongly recommend ditching Gmail for a paid provider, better for your privacy too.

MonkderZweite ,

My point is, despite the hoops to not be marked as spam from gmail, there's a lot of gmail spammers around.

What can you get to within a 15-minute walk of your house?

A recent YouGov survey asked Americans what they think they should be able to get to within a 15-minute walk of their house.

Of these choices, I can currently walk to all of them from my apartment, aside from a university (no biggie, I'm not currently studying, although there is a Tafe within walking distance), a hospital, and a sports arena.

How many can you get to with a 15 minute walk from your house?

@fuck_cars

MonkderZweite ,

To be fair, 10k is a small city here.

MonkderZweite ,

Osmand does that, search or tap a PoI and it lists similiar in the area, nearest first.

MonkderZweite ,

And then there's those who fail the low tier check and "some friend" gets them for scrap en masse.

MonkderZweite ,

Dark pattern smart.

MonkderZweite ,

Nah, she lost it, because your Thinkpad suddenly rebooted. Investigate that first.

And must be a distro-specific thing, it's on here by default.

MonkderZweite ,

Yup, missed it. That explains the defaults too.

MonkderZweite ,

Work was throwing it out. Again and again.

MonkderZweite ,

I'm pretty sure that's a model tho.

Battery Draining by Private Service App on My Phone, Why? (programming.dev)

There is no option for deletion for this app. Its draining my battery, and I read various posts they said that this app spy location and do lot of other stuff. I’m really confused after noticing it and reading such stuff. https://www.reddit.com/r/androidapps/comments/yyv09e/private_compute_services_app/...

MonkderZweite , (edited )

Please install some app manger app and give us the full dot name (like com.some.bullshit.app) and your phone brand and modell and provider if bought over one. We can help better then.

Could be a refresh of the Absolute rootkit scandal, at least it's not an AOSP app. It must be from your vendor or provider.

MonkderZweite ,

Not a usual one no. This app is not part of AOSP. Is it a usual Pixel system app?

MonkderZweite ,

AAA games only on sale and from DRM-free sources.

MonkderZweite ,

and simplifies everything

Not at all, no.

MonkderZweite ,

And it has a CVE about each month. Which is more than other init have in their lifetime.

MonkderZweite ,

TO has personal problems with x and looks for alternatives to x, not for solutions in x.

MonkderZweite ,

DCIM probably. While my stuff is in Media, because pictures and videos are always a mixed bag anyway. OpenCamera allows changing the save path, luckily; Media/Camera

MonkderZweite , (edited )

Some apps save to their internal storage; /data/data/funny.app.name or /storage/emulated/0/Android/funny.appp.name. It would be funny if not for wanting to cry.

Btw, why not just mount internal storage to /Internal, user home /storage/emulated/0 to /home/<name> and external to /sdcard1 /sdcard2 /otg, @google?

MonkderZweite ,

What, Downloads/04gd8365he.pdf?

MonkderZweite ,

We conveniently place that stuff in /home/$USER in Unix-likes. Even have standards to re-define Downloads & co. path.

Guess Google wanted the share-to-app and share-to-cloud like Apple, but rven there users sometimes like s file manager.
