If one does that, be prepared to defend yourself against the copyright infringement lawsuit that’s coming your way eventually.

If they didn’t in all that time, it’s probably because they don’t want to keep their account.

That’s an assumption that leads to corporate bullshit like this.

In that case why block the add-ons in the first place? There is a risk that the “Mozilla is blocking privacy friendly add-ons on the behest of an authoritarian regime!” news will become more widely known than any correction. If it had been a planned PR move then any person involved in it should never work in marketing again.

I was thinking the whole week if I should vote the greens or the pirates but due to the recurring campaigns to establish a surveillance state I did end up voting pirates. Incredibly disheartened they didn’t get a seat :(

I remember warning labels on BIOS updates that basically said that if nothing is broken, don’t do the update because the risk of bricking the device did not outweigh any potential benefits. That vendors are now pushing mandatory BIOS updates through Windows Update is terrifying.

I’ve seen that done for configuration management like Salt or Ansible. The repos for that were always hosted on internal Gitlab instances though.

At its core it is a sandbox war economy simulator in space with some bad (optional) story tacked onto it. It offers some tutorials but most things will be learning-by-doing. The battles are quite fun and you can participate with whatever ship you like, from fighters, frigates or corvettes all the way up to destroyers and carriers. Building your own stations to fill the deliberate shortages of the NPC economies is very satisfying and the station designer is easy to use. The universe is somewhat dynamic with warring factions being able to take over territory of other factions and the Xenon faction posing a threat to everyone although these changes are slow so you won’t be rushed into defending yourself (except if you setup shop near enemy territory).

I’m really looking forward to experiencing the events of the older games in the new engine! (Though from what I understood it’s not the whole stories but just a few key scenarios).

Quassel, self-hosted.

Please no. :( I do like 99.99% of online payments through them because the convenience they offer is really great, especially with recurring payments. :/

I tried it out and it has some issues here and there but seems to be on a good track to become a good Mediaplayer. I’m not 100% happy with Strawberry and used to use Amarok way back when before I switched to the, now un-maintained, Cantata. I’ll definitely follow the development of this.

I have a big library of music, mostly MP3 or OGG and don’t really see myself pivoting solely towards streaming services where access to songs could be revoked at any time or could be changed/censored like movies or series sometimes are on streaming platforms. I do use YouTube for listening to new music and when I like it enough, I buy it to download (or acquire it in a different way if it’s not available).

I really wish we’d have chosen a term that does not include “sex” because it leads to a distorted view such as yours that it must be sexual. It’s in the name after all, right?
But heterosexuality has been promoted to kids for ages now! Children’s shows include married couples for example (husband + wife) or the main character goes into a relationship with a character of the opposite gender. So why does the same thing suddenly become “grooming” and “inappropriate” when it’s husband + husband or wife + wife?

Also, covering homosexuality in school does not equate to having “kids choose their sexuality”. Not to mention that it’s not a choice anyway.

Yeah, being able to seamlessly switch between the desktop app and mobile is a must for me so that’s something I already prefer in Signal.

Don’t think it would be that easy. What Yast does is creating a middle layer between the actual config files and the user. You can look at it, most (if not all) of it is stored in /etc/sysconfig. Yast generates the actual config files out of what is stored there. This can be a headache because editing the config files directly will sometimes lead to them just being overwritten bei Yast again.
This is probably the reason why other distros don’t even want to adopt Yast, it would have to fundamentally change how it interacts with the config files.
And the cool new thing is Cockpit anyway, even though it can do only a fraction of what Yast can last time I checked…

How is it even legal to call for the murder of so many people using one of the most atrocious weapons humanity has invented…but if one were to suggest to apply a guillotine to this person for doing so, they would be in severe legal trouble?

No, the equivalent would be a kernel panic that the other user had linked. This is a situation where the RAM is fully used and a program’s request for memory cannot be fulfilled. This is still a very bad situation because pretty much everything will grind to a halt. The Linux kernel thus makes a decision to kill a process (or multiple) until enough RAM is available again. Usually it kills the process with the most used RAM, but there’s methods to influence the decision.

I don’t think many docker images out there will have keepassxc installed though.

Though now that I’m more awake I think it’s probably unrelated, I haven’t seen this circulated around that much.

I wonder if their recent blog post promoting conspiracy theorists and right-wing people turned away more people from telegram than they expected and now they feel the need to spread FUD against their competitors.
