I’m a lonely smut writer in Portugal! Feel free to say hello! :3
Man, if they really wanted to produce some worldwide goodwill, they would build their own production for power and water and make sure there was an excess. Outside of the obvious environmental concerns, the extra jobs, power, and water would be just a huge net benefit for everyone involved. It is such an easy win for public goodwill, but you know, they won’t because it costs more.
It’s worth looking into how much data modern US cars are gathering as well, if you’re concerned with that. Frankly, it seems like you’re just deciding who gets your data at a certain point.
God, and the app actually sucks such a bag of dicks. I use it as infrequently as I possibly can because it actively fights me trying to get what I need from it.
Interesting that this chart separates the SKUs on the Windows NT kernel but lumps all the Linux kernel stuff together. I have to imagine that this isn’t intentional and it’s just an artifact of how they collect data.
This seems like a better resource for tracking a specific product over time than comparing between them. It’s also worth mentioning, as the other person pointed out, that the Linux kernel is the most audited codebase of all time, so that likely also plays into this a bit.
I’ve tried Fluxer but it’s been a bit fiddly for me on Linux. It’s okay, voice chat works, but there are bugs for me with video chatting or screen-sharing. If it starts getting fixed, I’ll stick with it, otherwise I’m gonna keep looking.
Question for the smarter/more experienced people than me, would a hardware key help with this sort of thing? I know they’re not available everywhere and you essentially need two (or like a safe with your backup password), but I’m curious if those are just like… better.
Anime geriatric, then
Did you do a sick dance and song, too? If so, they didn’t deserve you.
I would actually prefer a very colorful dance or perhaps a shiny bead, actually.
I did, but it seems very much like authorial biases kind of overshadowed over what was being said. Maybe I just have a different perspective on things, though.
I’m a bit confused because the quotes do seem to do Mythos quite a bit of justice here. Saying it is essentially the equivalent of an elite security researcher seems… good, right?
Isn’t the threat that’s being discussed “what if anyone could point this at anything and then actively exploit the things it finds”?
Right, I’m aware. All electronics are a collection of trade-offs. That is the unfortunate requirement of the modern world.
That’s not a thing that I said I want.
Super valid approach! I’m not out here casting judgement on where people choose to throw their money in a situation like this. I think there’s plenty of nuance and room for different values to end up with different results.
Maaaaaaan, this really does seem like a pretty amazing set of updates. And right after I thought I’d finally made up my mind about Tuxedo. 🤣
That’s fair. As far as I’m aware, Tuxedo laptops have a good history with repairability, and I personally use my devices until they die and are no longer suitable for what I need them for, so I’m not all that worried about being horribly unsustainable with it. I’ve heard Tuxedo laptops are pretty high quality as well, so that kinda covers all my bases.
For me, there’s the added moral imperative of spending less money on US companies as well, though. It’s kind of a balancing act all around. I’m not judging you for picking what you pick, either, though. Just different strokes and all that.
This scene is the only thing that I know about the entire live-action part of the franchise.
Yeah, I’m aware Tuxedo isn’t manufacturing their own parts. I would rather whatever cut isn’t spent on manufacturing costs to go toward an EU company, though.
Absolutely. I always choose the slut and/or ragamuffin options when I face a decision.
