Corporations and fascists: name a better duo

Employers demand to see your facebook account? That sounds illegal.

I didn’t think people still opened new user accounts on facebook

If you rely on some specific piece of software, set up a dual boot and only boot into windows to use that software. Put your Linux installation onto a separate (encrypted) partition.

We’re never going to solve the chicken-and-egg problem of user adoption and software availability with the mentality to only switch once everything works 100%.

I know computers are hard for normies, but I believe that’s only because they’ve been using dumbed-down walled-garden stuff for too long. And just like it is important to know how to cook and do basic repairs around the house, a basic grasp of computers should be the standard in today’s world.

This is not about vetoing EU decisions. This is about failing to ratify EU regulations in Poland

Which Wi-Fi standard does your router / access point support?

What’s wrong with VSCode? There’s an open source version (codium) which works just as well for me.

What does this have to do with security? Do they expect evil maid attacks on the PS5 people carry around to do their online banking on?

What about container images?

But I think ‘encrypt home directory’ only encrypts your home partition, not your root partition. Not sure why many distros offer only this option in the graphical installer

Yes, the sad reality is that Windows is not quite there yet for desktop usage

Yes. By ‘VPN technology’ I mean e.g. wireguard, openVPN, which are infeasible to ban since companies probably use the same software stack.

VPN technology will never be banned, as most companies rely on it heavily, e.g. for remote work. The only thing I could see is ISPs keeping a blacklist of known addresses of commercial VPN providers, but that seems like an uphill battle

How is this done? Can you just re-enable the feature in the BIOS? And what about machines sold outside the US?

Why not make it a felony to propose laws that are ruled to be “obviously unconstitutional”? A citizen can go to jail for even trying to break a regular law, so it seems reasonable to do the same for politicians who try to break one of the foundational laws

Make it mandatory to institute a 5 year trial phase, during which encryption is broken only for politicians and public servants

That’s one of the major restrictions for casual use, yes. But if these measures are actually implemented, it might be worth it to have a second phone (or some other device) just for online banking

It sounds sophisticated to the layman

Xorg never worked quite right for me with multiple displays of different resolutions, orientations and refresh rates. Even after extensive setup, I would get screen tearing effects all the time. In wayland, everything just works OOTB for me.

I’m curious, does EFT work on Linux now? I had a workaround with a windows VM years ago, but the anti-cheat decided that was evil one day and wouldn’t let me play anymore
