umami_wasbi,

Yeah. Most theft targets the hardware, not the data within.

umami_wasbi,

Come back when it is accepted everywhere like cards today

There’s one issuse: Not everybody has the capacity to interpret the lengthy legal document. While being reasonable, when was your last time sit down and have a good read of the EULA and other related documents? These documents are designed to be difficult to read, and often intertwined with legal concepts that most don’t understand. That’s why lawyers exist.

Then the next question is: should a product a consumer bought (not lease) be completely dysfunctional after a undefined period of time? Is the petition asking for the servers operate indefinitely regardless of revenue? No. The petition is asking to not make the game completely unusable after a server shut down because of an always online DRM or something alike. The online part can go away and we can all enjoy the offline campaign like 10 years down the road. I don’t think this is a request unreasonable to make.

Your interpretation of such action’s legality is valid, but legal is just the minimum bar of ethical, and seems like there is a need to raise the bar.

umami_wasbi,

Can anyone speak of the software quality and support of Motorola? Also the support of custom ROM after the official support/updates ended.

umami_wasbi,

Does that applies to accounts registered in the US but now I’m not physically lived in?

umami_wasbi,

The whole point of opensource is making your source code public. Even if you can disable history viewing in GL, someone can still mirrors your repo and diff it for changes. The only way to not let people see changes is simply not open sourcing it.

Private submodule can help hiding some of your code and configurations, but this only helps hiding parts of the repo, including its history. You can’t preventing people measuring changes of your webpage once online as anyone can just archive it.

If you can, just give up the number and starts new. It’s way easier and cleaner

Android phone saving metadata for screenshots (i.ibb.co)

I always remove this data from my screenshots before sharing, but is there any way to prevent this from happening in the first place? I’ve searched and searched, but all I can find is information about how to remove the data after the fact, which I already know how to do, but it would sure be nice if it never got added in the...

I would say depends. For company owned cars thats justified as it should purely meant for business trip only. For duel use vehicle, that there should absolutely have switch to turn it on or off.

umami_wasbi,

Can anyone get me up to speed what claims the bill gave to justify TikTok must be either sold or remove from app stores?

That “Discord” can be replaced with any IM platforms. Slack, Martix, Gitter, you name it. They are still hard to search. By no means I like the idea of using IM platforms as a support portal/community. I still think forums-like platforms are the best, yet I don’t want to create another account to engage with a project that I use.

Github, Lemmy and Stack Exchange enables one account for multiple projects/topics, which I quite like. Or mailing lists. That can do as well.

LTSC is the enterprise/business version that have extended period for patches with less bloat. It’s similar to LTS with Ubuntu.

umami_wasbi,

Great to know

umami_wasbi, (edited )

Maybe also not Ubuntu or RHEL? I heard they also collect telemetries and hard to trun off. Unsure.

If you want some more convenience but don’t want to give up security, you can use hardware tokens like Nitrokey with GPG.

The process would be generate a random file using dd and /dev/urandom. Set this as the key for FDE. Encrypt it using your GPG and store it on /boot. Have a helper script to ask you plugin your Nitrokey and (optional) pin to decrypt the keyfile to have root decrypted. I had read this on some blog for dm-crypt so you will need to research and adopt to your setup.

umami_wasbi,

You can. I’m not particularly familar with Thunderbird, but you can export your key to system/user keyring then you can sign any data you want using GPG. However, I doubt tool exists for you to embed the signature to a PDF like x.509 signing would.

umami_wasbi,

And need a paymemt gateway with a bank which can count as cloud.

umami_wasbi,

And charge you a monthly service fee unless you have a job (regular transaction into the account per billing cycle), which isn’t a thing in other places.

Ripping off poor and jobless people. Yes.

umami_wasbi,

Thanks. I was hoping 13 years will bring some improvements but sadly seems like not.

Windows pc calling home (even while asleep) (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

I have a network-wide pi hole and I noticed that it requested activity.windows.com, a url blocked by my pi hole, even while my pc is suspended. I pinged 10.0.0.217 and it is currently unreachable. So, somehow, windows pc’s turn on networking, phones home, and turns off even while suspended....

umami_wasbi,

You can also use Tailscale Tunnel which will give you an subdomain to access for free.

Or full hardcore and use Tor .onion domain. Completely free with additional privacy.

Microsoft announces Python formulas in Excel... which have to get sent to the cloud (techcommunity.microsoft.com)

Since its inception, Microsoft Excel has changed how people organize, analyze, and visualize their data, providing a basis for decision-making for the flying billionaires heads up in the clouds who don't give a fuck for life offtheline

umami_wasbi,

Actually, I believe you just need to root out the networking and disk access then 90% of the attack surface vanished. At least it will not be persistant.

umami_wasbi,

Maybe it doesn’t do anything, but not the reason to not do something.
