Hot water an dish soap works miracles on all kinds of clogs btw.

UnfortunateShort ,

I have to, for work - which is why I am happy whenever they do stuff right. That said, there is also a lot of schadenfreude whenever they think something along the lines of "let's tell people we will screenshot everything".

Whatever MS does, I win.

You can use it in a browser or opt for WebCord.

Note that any text send to discord currently stays there forever. I don't know when, but you can bet your ass they will be investigated for a violation of the GDPR, which hopefully stops that for good.

UnfortunateShort ,

I heard the messages even stay when you delete them. At least people claimed they could recover then, don't know whether that's actually true.

UnfortunateShort ,

There is a Kill la Kill reference hidden in there... Hidden in plain sight, I mean.

PayPal Is Planning an Ad Business Using Data on Its Millions of Shoppers (www.wsj.com)

Wall Street Journal (paywalled) The digital payments company plans to build an ad sales business around the reams of data it generates from tracking the purchases as well as the broader spending behaviors of millions of consumers who use its services, which include the more socially-enabled Venmo app....

There are plenty, although some might be regional, others had security issues. In Europe, I know of Klarna, Skrill and (kind of) Revolut. In the US there are Block (Cash App) and ofc Google, Apple and Amazon... But I guess they are not really an upgrade :D

UnfortunateShort ,

Waterfox? Librewolf? Why not both?

Stupid fact checkers with their stupid facts disproving all my convenient lies

UnfortunateShort ,

Is this AI generated trolling or is the person behind this just next level stupid?

Edward fucking Snowden has recommend Signal and I think if anyone knows whether it's secure, it's probably him and the NSA.

That and he is paranoid to a point where he physically kills all mics and cameras on his devices, so if he claims anything is secure, I will believe him unconditionally.

    Viofo A119 is great, but front view only. Could just get two of them tho...

    UnfortunateShort ,

    Great games are cheaper than ever. If you buy into those only trying to extract as much money from you as possible, that's on you

    UnfortunateShort ,

    Tbf, they held a user vote in Germany (supposedly, although the app did ask me to vote) whether to work with them or risk to cease services. Iirc the backgrounds were extremist (terrorist?) groups operating on the platform

    UnfortunateShort ,

    They work.

    The kernel in the EFI partition is used as a tool to bootstrap hardware and memory for your proper kernel, which is chainloaded.

    There is a simple reason for that: The Linux kernel can do anything a bootloader needs to do, especially for itself, so why not use it as one?

    That said, in most setups there is another bootloader before that, which loads the kernel itself and the initramfs for that kernel. That can be for example systemd-boot, formerly known gummiboot, a minimal bootloader meant to (auto-)discover EFI compatible stuff it can load.

    Dracut creates a setup / boot chain like that.

    UnfortunateShort , (edited )

    In the case of Dracut, I'm not sure what it does exactly, but the kernels will almost definitely not be identical. In the "EFI kernel", uneeded modules (meaning most of them) are usually omitted.

    You could probably also have different kernels in terms of version number, although it might complicate things. Kinda depends on whether they recycle data structures from the first kernel and whether those remain compatible. I don't really know whether this is actually done tho.

    The reason why multiple kernels (or bootloaders for that matter) are used is that there are different levels of "readiness" in your system. Say you have LVM and a LUKS encrypted partition (in whatever order). Systemctl-boot will load the kernel and it's initramfs, but can't be bothered to deal with complicated file system shenanigans. That would complicate the whole program significantly.

    So it just loads a Linux kernel which has these capabilities. That kernel can deal with LVM, decrypt the LUKS partition (or ask for a password), mount whatever btrfs nonsense is inside and then hand it over to the proper kernel. The proper kernel can in turn rely on having all its stuff mounted and ready, instead of having to worry about all this.

    You could do with just one kernel, but Dracut allows you to rapidly create bootable kernel + initramfs pairs of which you might need multiple (e.g. for dual booting, backup). Moreover, you probably wouldn't really want it to fiddle with your kernel all the time, especially when it's customised already.

    Sorry for the late reply btw, responses were broken for me

    UnfortunateShort ,

    The "German Reich" these days consist of some weirdos who skipped history classes and call themselves "Reichsbürger". They even have capitalism! The heads of this movement charge them for nonsensical documents, like passports exactly no one accepts. Oh, and some think Germany is a corporation led by the allied forces.

    I don't know where they stand on mugs, but feel free to try it out and throw some at them.*

    *They may possess illegal weapons tho. Pls help

    UnfortunateShort ,

    OpenSUSE exists as a testbed for SLE, I don't think there's anything confusing about that. It's also much easier to get to a sensible setup for new users. If it weren't for the AUR and the Arch Wiki, I would probably still be using it.

    UnfortunateShort ,

    It's kinda sad that without Mozilla, Raymond, the NoScript guys and TOR we would lose control over the internet pretty much immediately

    UnfortunateShort ,

    I don't really know how to change your mind except bringing up that you are objectively wrong.

    UnfortunateShort ,

    Come on, everyone knows you're supposed to tweak your Linux to look like MacOS on mushrooms.

    UnfortunateShort ,

    No software is perfect, you are going to run into some issue, somewhere, eventually. However, I would say when talking about Linux spcifically, there is a high chance that people talking about stuff being broken are people breaking stuff.

    It's simply fun to try riscy, experimental things. Naturally, people also like to write about it.

    UnfortunateShort ,

    I have witnessed reading assignments and beg to differ.

    UnfortunateShort ,

    I don't particularly like the UI, but I haven't had any Issue with teams ever tbh. It even worked on Firefox with uBlock, NoScript (ofc allowing like one or two domains for it) and VPN. For me, Office in general just works most of the time. I would never use it for private stuff, let alone pay hundreds for it, but for work it's more than fine.

    Except Outlook. Holy fuck, how is such a central application such a pile of steaming garbage? It has the worst UI/UX I have ever seen in any mail client by far.

    It is literally fucking knapsack problem the game™️ and I can't stop playing it. This game is one in-game shop away from ruining my life.

    Edit: I mean ruining it further. Sorry.

    UnfortunateShort ,

    How dare you commie spread such disgusting misinformation? If anything, only about half the party is controlled by Trump (who literally told the Kremlin to go and attack our partners, if they don't pay enough we might just do nothing). And what's the other half supposed to do, stand up against it? And lose an election? Ridiculous.

    UnfortunateShort ,

    Woah, chill Proton. I know I started using it, but you didn't have to buy it for me. I like it tho. Very frequently updated app, lots of features.

    UnfortunateShort ,

    Does it block MS tho?

    UnfortunateShort ,

    It's quite good value, especially the 2-year plan, if you actually use all the stuff they offer. I got my family there, but they are still not to eager to integrate all there is into their routines.

    UnfortunateShort , (edited )

    The reason is very simple: They rely on Google Safetynet (basically self-diagnosis). And that will immediately tell you off if it notices your device is rooted. And while you can have a lengthy discussion regarding whether this makes your phone less secure or not, this is another simple argument from Google's POV: The device has obviously been tampered with, we don't want to put any resources into covering this case. As far as we are concerned, you shouldn't use our OS like this.

    So basically laziness.

    UnfortunateShort ,

    You should give https://www.nerdfonts.com/ a look. There is a patched version of Fira Code and it's pretty damn fancy, although there are plenty alternatives and instructions for creating your own if you fell like it.

    UnfortunateShort ,

    It's not exactly the same tho. At least in Firefox there were/are still quite a few differences. Notably experimental privacy features and anti-fingerprinting measures are enabled in private windows

    UnfortunateShort ,

    You see, that is a buffer zone to keep the bugs away

    UnfortunateShort ,

    I think you give Manjaro a little too much credit here. Not that I want to hate on it, but Ubuntu is much less closely related to Debian than Manjaro is to Arch.

    UnfortunateShort ,

    You are missing the "Cinnamon on Arch" guy a little further up the scale, but you gotta crop somewhere I guess 🤷

    UnfortunateShort ,

    What makes this even funnier: The next time you enter a Delamain, Takemura does basically exactly this to you, with a supposedly very delicate injection, while you are speeding through the city.

    Jackie's entire storyline was handled with incredible incompetence imo. If you choose a single wrong dialogue option you don't get the whole ofrenda questline. Like, do you want me to care about this character or not?

    UnfortunateShort ,

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think you can run LoL on Linux

    UnfortunateShort ,

    Just a meme ofc!

    Unless 👉👈

    UnfortunateShort ,

    League of Legends used to be my sport. I switched to lifting weights irl. Feels less stupid to move very heavy things for the sake of moving them, than to lose LP because xXMomaDestroyerXx somehow convinces people he's the one silver/gold guy who can play [insert any champ that absolutely needs to hit skillshots].

    UnfortunateShort ,

    I want to add that you can not only use USB keys as second factors, but also as a password replacement on Linux and Windows. It is extremely convenient to press a button instead of typing a 16 character pw.

    UnfortunateShort ,

    Can confirm, no FOSS at all in Europe

    UnfortunateShort ,

    Arch Linux user and their boyfriend - you can even choose who is who.

    UnfortunateShort ,

    I did as well, she insisted Fedora is better, dodged a bullet there

    UnfortunateShort ,

    We already had a couple fantastic games this year tho

    UnfortunateShort ,

    Send a bomb threat from all major mail-providers any% speedrun anyone?

    Seriously, as if no one ever send a threat from a throwaway Gmail account. The bullshit governments come up with to dismantle privacy...

    UnfortunateShort ,

    I recently did just that, even via VPN. They simply didn't ask me to. Maybe a regional thing?

    UnfortunateShort ,

    You will find services that provide you with a phone number that can be traced back to no one, if you dig a little... In some countries you can straight up just buy an eSIM with a false identity
