The "Recall can't record DRMed video content" thing is because DRMed video content is entirely invisible to the OS. The OS passes the encrypted content to your GPU and tells it where to draw it, and the GPU decrypts it and displays it there. It's not a policy decision on the Recall side, it's just how computers work.

why does vscode have like 5 second delay between me typing and it appearing when i'm on battery
this is like the one thing i'd expect my laptop to be able to do on battery
my power plan is the same as it is when i'm plugged in! why is it even different at all!

Just installing Fedora Silverblue and realised that if you boot into the USB disk in legacy mode, it does a legacy install. If you boot into it in UEFI, it does a UEFI install.

Wish this was made clear in the interface and you could actually choose what you wanted. I mean, I really think UEFI should be the default no matter what these days with the option to change it if you really want to, no?

XRY and Cellebrite say they can do consent-based full filesystem extraction with iOS, Android and GrapheneOS. It means they can extract data from the device once the user provides the lock method, which should always be expected. They unlock, enable developer options and use ADB.

For all the white people who say some of these folks “pretend to be racist for money,” please know that there is no such thing. The consequences of the behavior are real and the same, even if one were “pretending,” hence, there is no such thing as pretending.

Is Trump ahead in the polls, because Biden is losing support amongst one of his key demographics: Black men? Or are the polls all a lie?

Trump ahead in polls?

Biden camp doesn't believe the polls?
https://www.axios.com/2024/05/14/biden-polls-denial-trump-2024-election

Either way, the most important thing to do, is to ignore, insult, argue with, and generally disrespect, Black men online! 🤡 Find a Black man, and yell "Trump is worse!" in his face as hard as you can! Swear at him, and threaten him with violence!

[serious, no joke replies or guesses / autotranslation please]

do I know anyone native or otherwise very fluent in Chinese who can tell me the correct term for a plated edge connector, like you might find on a PCIe card? specifically the "gold fingers" style connector feature you would find on the PCB side, not the plastic connector it slots into.

I've had an absolute nightmare trying to communicate this feature to a Shenzhen-based PCB vendor and I would like it to be easier in future.

If you prefer nice, neat, regulated, approved protests, you may want to move to China. All legit protests must be approved by the government here! ​:anenw36:​

checking my periodic backup results:

> sudo du -sh /var/backup/postgresql/all.sql.gz
4.3G	/var/backup/postgresql/all.sql.gz

despite taking up 154GiB, the database’s actual data only makes up 4.3GiB. funny how that works

Due to frequent DDoS attacks, we're enforcing stricter limits on the number of connections to our servers. By default, each server enforces a limit of 16 or 32 TCP connections from each IPv4 address and IPv6 /64 block. During persistent attacks, these limits will be adjusted.

As the US considers banning TikTok
it is important to keep in mind the problem with the social media giant isn't legal jurisdiction alone. 👮‍♀️

The problem with TikTok is #tiktok

不理解任何为美国要封杀 Tiktok 叫好的人。

又不是没了 Tiktok 中国就没法从 Facebook 等一众广告商和 Experian 等一众 data broker （数据经销商）那里买任何人的数据了。该监控照样监控。

当然投放广告也是可以的哈，难道你们以为法轮功、大纪元干得出来的事情中国就干不出来？

封杀Tiktok不能保护任何人的隐私，对Facebook处以罚款也不能（笑死了，说得好像这些公司没有把行政罚款当成运营成本来计算一样）。

通过GDPR和CCPA等隐私保护法律才能。

Asking who might be a cop or infiltrator in a movement space is often the wrong question to ask. Cops are just a type of abuser who happen to be paid and empowered by the state. And abuse is one of the most common tactics they'll use to tear communities apart.

Because of this, abusers who aren't cops can do just as much damage. Dave Strano and AFG come to mind as examples. Anyone who's dealt with this knows how one abuser who isn't handled decisively can prevent a movement from getting anything done at all, causing damage to communities that can take years to heal, not to mention the damage to individuals.

Being abusive should be seen as at LEAST as bad as being a cop. If you and your friends learn to recognize abuse and commit to not tolerating it, that'll take care of a good portion of the cops too. This video lists some good red flags to keep in mind, including accusing other people of being cops

Here's what we're reading today:

Biden's administration is considering a plan to help #Ukraine with weapons without waiting for #Congress to approve aid.

The mechanism allows #Biden to provide weapons by special order period, the WH weighs the risks of providing weapons without replacing them.
