I don’t think any of those really apply.

She didn’t have experience with it, but she was good with computers. When she realized what she was looking at, she made the famous exclamation. Not all that different than people posting stuff to Linux in the wild threads.

Fsn is what was up on the screen, so that’s what she used. Probably easier than figuring out how to get to the command line on an unfamiliar system.

Mess with the best, die like the rest.

That these were a thing is… wild.

Edit: maybe more fitting

Every community with that name needs to include a bit about FSN in its sidebar.

It’s based on Foursquare checkins from six months in 2016, not good for real world at all.

Really great article, and thanks for posting the text of it.

Facebook is weird for me because it triggers my FOMO, but then if I use it all I see are a ton of random things with the most toxic people in the world living in the comments.

And similarly I just realized why my friends on instagram use stories and not posts, because for the most part stories is the only place I see content from people I know anymore (and again the FOMO).

I really relate to the sentence at the end, “there are people there but they don’t know why and most of what they are seeing is scammy or weird.”

My only real problem is I still use windows more than full screen, barely ever use workspaces, and those are two workflows they really want someone to use.

You sort of left out a lot of context with that statistic that the article did include. Apple gets significantly fewer requests because the data they have is far less useful, that is generally a plus.

Cellular location data from the provider generally requires a warrant unless there are exigent circumstances. There has been a lot of controversy recently about warrants being granted that are too broad, the “every phone in this wide area” thing, but they are still warrants being granted by courts vs direct access.

That sort of “tell me every phone in the vicinity of this location” is the sort of request that Google typically has the data to fulfill and Apple generally does not (though the cell provider might).

I really like Fedora, but the release cycle is too fast for my tastes. Also I find Gnome distracting these days.

That’s why after 20+ years I use Mint or LMDE. I don’t have the time or interest to tinker the way I used to unless I’m getting paid for it. Mint was the thing that got me to leave Fedora.

Legally neither, this was a civil liability case and not a criminal proceeding. The war they are referring to is the Colombian conflict, which is ongoing.

Biden has said it out loud for nearly 40 years, “If there were not an Israel, we’d have to invent one.”

It’s power projection in a traditionally less than friendly region. They might not like what they do, they might regret that they let them be an independent government, but they won’t do anything of real substance. Just ask the USS Liberty vets.

At least United Fruit did it with the knowledge, blessing, and assistance of the US government. Chiquita looking like amateurs here.

It is, it works in two ways depending on the network type and Android version.

By default it creates a random MAC for each network that doesn’t change until a factory reset, even if you forget and connect again. This is on all devices.

Android 12 and up will change the MAC every so often on open networks without a captive portal, or if the network or an app specifies to do so. It it does this in between connections so won’t interrupt what you’re currently doing.

iOS functions like the first one currently, except I think deleting and adding will create a new one. It sounds like they are moving towards the second, but maybe with less logic?

If the default now is not private, and the rotating is opt in, isn’t it worse out of the box?

I liked that the default of private could still work with captive portals.

Guided Access locks you into a single app.

This hides and prevents opening specific apps, the rest of the phone is still accessible. It’s much more convenient as something you would configure and keep on all the time.

This article does not describe the feature well. It prompts to open, not when trying to exit.

This is from their opinion section. Research articles are separate.

IMO most of the lore is in the physical novels and later games that go more into story. Myst and Riven sort of drop you into an existing universe without explaining much and then you can learn some through bits and pieces as you go.

The people paying the site are hoping to get some benefit from the advertising. Just blocking ads doesn’t waste their money. But, the extension’s main goal is to throw off surveillance and targeting stuff by fitting every category.

It’s a controversial approach.

I think it was primarily BIOS limitations, just like some old machines now don’t support USB boot.

Windows XP could also be installed using boot floppies, but I think was the last version to do so.

That combination works in Brave to search the forum (prefixing !ddg or !d) I’m surprised it doesn’t in Searx.
