Also, didn’t opera sell to some spyware company? I’m team zen (firefox fork with some very neat extra features) btw.

I don’t get it, and I speak Dutch…

Except this ‘signing’ is more of a control feature than a security feature. Just because Google markets it as a security feature doesn’t mean it is.

To be fair something can be said about allowing formatting. For this the added value is little though, and it would’ve been better if an alt text was provided

On my third job in the two years of my career now, and this one and the previous one both had mountains of technical debt. I am actively looking for job 4 now, but this time I’m a bit more cautious. (Job 2 counter-offered a 1000+€ raise and I turned it down for having basically the same wage at job 3 because it supposedly would be a better technical environment. It is not.)

The only common denominator between the last two is that both are small-ish and ERP software so idk. [Edit: also ‘me’, but for sure it can’t be this bad everywhere right]

And for both it was caused by a very short-term way of looking at things. (Sure we could speed up development by X2, but that would take two months and the client wants this feature now)

Exactly this, the commenter above even mentioned they have a VPS already, what’s stopping them from (this is just an option) slapping tailscale on there, enabling it as an exit node and being done with it? Would literally take 5 minutes and suddenly your traffic is coming from a datacenter and not your home IP

DeArrow shows the title as something like “why you can’t trust AI with facts”

Read the second paragraph, deciding what is punishable based on ‘vibes’ is a terrible idea

Who made you the authority on deciding whose information people are allowed to doxx. I agree that ICE are pieces of shit and in this case (same with the DOGE doxxing some time ago) I wholeheartedly agree that exposing them is morally the right thing to do.

Laws hardly care about what is ‘moral’ or ‘good’ though, and it’s better that way because those terms are subjective. A corrupt judge/administration would be able to abuse the hell out of a system where guilt gets decided based on vibes.

So yeah the fact that they’re in trouble for exposing someones personal information is only natural, no matter how much you and I agree that what they did is ‘good’.

That’s the point of my disclaimer?

To be fair, replace ‘ICE agent’ in that sentence with just about anything else and nobody will bring up ‘free speech’.

Disclaimer: no I’m not pro ICE, I think everyone has a right to not get kidnapped on the streets. I’m not even from the US.

Not to mention if you want to watch something (only available) ‘in the future’ it’ll automatically get pulled when available.

Installing the third party stores would be way harder than it is right now if they do that though. No way the devs of e.g. f-droid are getting a verification on an app that bypasses Google’s new ‘safety measures’

When it finally arrives you should run some tests to ensure the drive is not bad. This repo is a decent resource: https://github.com/Spearfoot/disk-burnin-and-testing

The fact that “The Free Press” got bought is such a funny (in a bad way) sentence to me.

For work our projects use .NET Framework so it needs to run on windows.

For personal use it’s a combination of mostly Valorant, which refuses to run anywhere but windows… and short term productivity loss because it’s simply the platform I know my way around.

For my homelab I naturally have Linux running though, and the second Valorant supports Linux (lol) I’m gone.

It’s just in the direction you would need to apply force to open it no?

Well for a ton of the more niche tools I can see why they wouldn’t integrate them. I say that even though I can’t live without them at this point haha.

But file locksmith, env variable viewer, basic stuff like that… Really should be built-in

Sure, that ‘fixes’ it. The real question is, if that information is retrievable anyways… Why is it not a built-in part of windows. You get the error popup and it should just show two buttons: "Ok and “Find which program is using it”

I’m excited for the roadmap of better sharing, group management and improved ownership. Unfortunately in its current state having a shared “family” library of pictures next to personal pictures is only possible with various workarounds (and all of those have significant downsides). Until then I’m just using it for myself, but it’s been great so far.
