I don't think they will prohibit side loading. This will cause serious issues to developers, and other professionals.

Like, I cannot use the X tool from Github, just because the Y developer refuses to publish it in an organized store?

This also applies to Windows. What prevents a user from downloading a Firefox fork that does not properly implement age verification?

Since it is impossible to implement on Linux, it may just be flagged as adult-only software.

But, there is still hope. What if Snaps and Flatpaks get properly flagged, allowing Ubuntu and/or Fedora to be legal?

I used to watch The Hated One, who has also made similar recommendations for strikes. He has suggested the use of Briar, as it can fallback to Bluetooth connectivity.

However, I mostly wanted to point out that burner phones is not the answer for everyone. People need to be familiar with their local laws to stay safe.

In some countries, like Greece, you can't use an unregistered phone number.

Since phone numbers are tied to people's identities, does it really matter whether you use a burner or your main?

Don't let him distract you from the fact that you can't spell "advertisements" without semen between the tits

Finally! Someone said it! My company changed my work laptop to a Mac. It's been a couple of months, and I still haven't got used to the desktop environment. Navigating between open windows with regular mouse/keyboard is a pain.

I find window grouping very annoying (this is also true for Gnome). What makes it even worse, is that the tilde is next to the left shift, instead of being above Tab. I think that's because we have British keyboard.

No, we need massive data centers for LLMs and data analysis for targeted ads /s

There is no such thing as idiot-proof steps to tamper the registry. Most of those registry keys are not documented, and it's very hard to be completely sure about what you are touching.

If you need a debloated experience, install LTSC.

 

I just discovered this open source obfuscator for mobile apps, that is funded by the European Union.

This has me wondering about the motives, since:

  1. the EU seems to be trying to move towards open source projects for their public domain, so no reason to obfuscate
  2. obfuscation methods should, by definition, be secret

In 28/2/2023, at Tempi, 57 people lost their lives because trains in Greece lack the required equipment and personnel to operate safely.

Since then, the government has been tirelessly trying to make people believe that they are overreacting, in many cases completely disrespecting the families telling bullshit in the news channels. Such recent example was our Minister for Health, Adonis Georgiadis, saying that those families mostly care about the money from the compensations.

Today, I am proud that people all around the world have gotten to know about the tragedy and are trying to spread the message.

I had a conversation with some sys-admins that are trying to limit what their kids can access on the internet. One was worried about how to implement a YouTube channel whitelist on his network.

So, an idea came to my mind. Wouldn't it be relatively easy to implement this using Piped's API?

Given that the kids' devices are using self-signed certificates, allowing full traffic monitoring, it should be possible to filter YouTube videos using the data provided by Piped API.

Do you guys think it's a good idea? I could start this project, if people think that it's useful.

 

I recently learned that my company prefers closed-source tools for privacy and security.

I don't know whether the person who said that was just confused, but I am trying to come up with reasons to opt to closed-source for privacy.

 

This little monster chews cables. So, I ran power cords through water hoses.
