Neat bot!
From fraud and lies, yes they should
This is illegal in most parts of the world already though.
I'll admit I'm a filthy passer by who hasn't read the article - is the CEO suggesting taxpayers' money be used to compensate in these instances? I don't think rich people should be entitled to the same/similar amount of protection available for those on the opposite end of the wealth spectrum...
VLC can pretty much play everything - avi, avi+mjpeg, mov, mpeg, 3gp, flv, you name it. In some cases it can reconstruct corrupted videos and try to play them (typically AVI files)
There's another player called MPV if you want a second option just in-case though!
For opening Word documents, I'd highly recommend OnlyOffice. Has outstanding compatibility with documents originally created in Microsoft Word, and it's free on Flathub
Another alternative if you have an existing 365 subscription would be the online version of Word in your web browser.
If you're heavily into the 365 ecosystem though, do note that things like Onedrive compatibility aren't all the way there on linux, so you'd miss luxuries like right-clicking a file and getting a shareable link, or sending a file to someone directly from the file manager. For these you'll need to drag-n-drop the file into onedrive, or into your email app to send them.
Things like opening PDFs, viewing various video formats etc, are built-in and work flawlessly on pretty much all Linux distros. Support for opening encrypted PDF files should be flawless too, haven't had issues with these myself.
Would recommend Linux Mint, or Zorin OS, as both have a pretty similar look and feel when coming from Windows
I'm mono myself, but it's nice to read various experiences here of poly relationships.
I personally think i'm too selfish to survive in a poly environment though, and also I'm not really that interesting of a person in general - preferring time alone mostly.
Poly requires a ton of trust and communication, so for me it would fall down quickly with the wrong kind of partner(s)... especially as it takes me a while to trust others
I unfollowed a bunch of kbin comms because when kbin mods delete spam, it doesn't get deleted from Lemmy ☹️
I didn't know what ego death was - ripped these definitions from mindbodygreen
the ego is a sense of self that you develop at a young age [...] "It's how you identify and what you identify with—like who you are as a person, whether it's gender identity, what your beliefs are, your morals," Nuñez explains.
Ego death is the (often instantaneous) realization that you are not truly the things you've identified with, and the "ego" or sense of self you've created in your mind is a fabrication. In some instances, it can offer a profound feeling of peace and connectedness with all that is, as the walls of separation the ego creates come crumbling down.
I was looking for

Happens to the best of us lol.
What DBA program is that? It looks sexy clean 😍
The problem is, here I want to stay anonymous
All social media by nature isn't. You can only try to not make it associable with your IRL identity
IMO public vote data is a small price to pay for not being targeted by ads and followed all over the internet, considering the alternatives are non-federated ad platforms that watch how long you spend scrolling, looking at specific items etc, altering your feed & suggestions to make them more money...
there are laws making my critique a criminal offence. Yeah, right, they are this fragile [...] and a federated instance by your local CIA-thing can vaccuum it into their database once federated
Just be mindful of what you post - sign up at an instance located overseas, don't interact with communities for your geographic region, don't post pictures. Won't stop a subpoena, but layer Tor on top and the origin is unknown. Won't stop data mining, but if there's no geographic hints in your post history they are SOL IMO
That is one loaded rear rack 👌
What gear do you usually carry on rides? Was wondering because of the small frame bag at the front too
Wouldn't be surprised if it was related to the new "The Marvels" movie being an unfinished flop.
A few of critics have said that the film was single handedly kept barely alive by the actress playing the role of Ms Marvel, but fundementally the directors and the cutting room floor put out another generic heroes-from-earth-save-outer-space movie... where shockingly even the villain wasn't all that convincing
The first 30 secs of the trailer aren't even footage from the movie, that should pretty much say how confident Disney are about it 😳
