LemmyHead,

Think in the language as soon as you can. You’ll improve much faster than if you keep translating back to your mother language

LemmyHead,

2200+ fire streak since I joined 10 years ago (multiple languages). Lost the streak a few times before. I’m not fluent but maintaining it helps me to improve a bit every day.

LemmyHead,

Thanks. A few of them but main focus is Spanish. What about you?

LemmyHead,

Good idea. That’s what I’m missing about Duolingo tbh. Let’s start it. Maybe we should make a discord or alternative?

I have an issue with how SIM cards are handled in most countries

Almost all countries require official authentication to activate a SIM card. This seems to me as a huge privacy problem, if the country can track sim cards across cell towers and connect them to a person. It seems like a dystopian system, that we litterely can not hide from our governments without turning off our smartphones. It...

LemmyHead,

I think it’s actually the other way around. BECAUSE phone numbers are linked to our accounts and identities, it makes us vulnerable to SIM swapping. They should only be used for calling and texting people, nothing more. But nowadays we need to link our personal details to them, our accounts, which introduces this vulnerability because then it creates this incentive for an attack

LemmyHead,

I really enjoyed starting to watch Dragonball z years ago in Japanese. I noticed how boring or wrong the English dubs were after that. A lot of censoring too. And it’s hard to be better than Japanese voice actors too

LemmyHead,

You call it battery performance update just as Apple stated, others call it deliberately slowing down their phone.

LemmyHead,

But it’s not helpful if these things are not transparent to the consumers on the longterm. Such transparency can help make informed decisions

LemmyHead,

I would argue both have evolved in the opposite way though. Windows has become so unintuitive for me with every version after win 7. Splitting up control panel in many different locations. Multiple methods to remove different applications,… On windows server, it was even worse, and as soon as I moved away from Microsoft’s default built-in crap to third party tools, things actually became much easier.

While with Linux, things worked out of the box for me for a long time already and the process of things make sense a lot times, taking into account the requires minimal knowledge is there.

LemmyHead,

I never felt OpenOffice and libreoffice were a decent replacement for MS office. It was too different in many ways and compatibility was never top. Since I moved to softmaker (not OSS), I’ve been happier.

LemmyHead,

Convince governments to move over from Windows, because Bill is gonna be all up in their ass to protect his $$$

LemmyHead,

I haven’t used it that’s extensively but for every of my needs, it performed great.

LemmyHead,

Interesting that you ask about this. I was looking for one last week and noticed all Android ones are full of trackers (via play store) so I thought about developing an open source one that not only let you track your usage, but also create community groups that support you in not drinking anymore. All with full privacy

Hardware security key options?

I've been thinking about getting a hardware security key and have heard of yubikey before; but I want to see what my options are and if they are worth it in your opinion.
My current setup is a local KeePassXC database (that I sync between my PC and phone and also acts as TOTP authenticator app), I know that KeePass supports hardware keys for unlocking the database.

I am personally still of the belief that passwords are the safest when done right; but 2FA/MFA can greatly increase security on top of that (again, if done right).
The key work work together with already existing passwords, not replace them.

As I use linux as my primary OS I do expect it to support it and anything that doesn't I will have to pass on.

PS: what are the things I need to know about these hardware keys that's not being talked about too much, I am very much delving into new territory and want to make sure I'm properly educated before I delve in.

LemmyHead,

Nitrokey isn’t fully open source though. The secure element is proprietary. But that’s not their fault, OSS secure elements aren’t a thing yet unfortunately, but some companies wanna bring a change in that

LemmyHead,

Looks good. I also add compress=zstd to / subvolume. I don’t add discard because it’s set up in LUKS for me. I also don’t use a separate subvolume for /var/log, so where possible, compression is used. Journald auto adds +C attr to prevent COW being active on those files because it’s unnecessary. I also use a separate swapfile instead of a separate fs.

LemmyHead,

LemmyHead,

Thanks. I knomew about it but it’s still in beta

LemmyHead,

My mistake, I meant Audile

LemmyHead,

I’m totally against the military part. It’s just elite people deciding on the lives of people that are not in power. And when the time is right, they’ll take away your freedom of choice and mandate you to join a war. My body my rules.

LemmyHead, (edited )

That’s why people join the military voluntarily and get paid for it. My statement was only against forced military service.

Anything mandatory generally is ridiculous and counterproductive. By forcing people to do community service won’t necessarily make them better citizens either. E.g. in South Korea, a lot of people got a trauma from it because (extreme) bullying is very present there. There’s a good documentary about it.

LemmyHead,

Same here. I’ve always wondered what dbus actually was and I’m glad OP asked

LemmyHead,

I’m in too
