“Classmates warn Heimrich Himmler he risks enabling descent ‘into fascism’”

Ever since the untimely death of CentOS I feel like Debian and its spin-off Ubuntu have been pulling double their weight in server applications.

I believe I saw someone say on Tumblr that if you enjoy having rights then you should advocate the strongest for criminals enjoying rights as well, because otherwise, the Government can always just take your rights away by labelling you a criminal.

Or, as has been trendy lately, a Salvadoran gang member.

Flathub is almost the perfect distribution system for software on Linux. The only thing it’s missing is a billing system. If it had that, it would probably attract more game developers to make their games available as Flatpaks.

So it seems everyone’s rushing to bribe the new president

Technically, most smartphones in the world already run Linux because Android uses the Linux kernel

(I know that’s not really what you mean, I’m just being cheeky here)

I thought the Oregon Trail was a pretty standard part of US history curriculum.

If that’s what’s needed, I can say with some certainty that adoption isn’t going to be picking up any time this decade.

I still have no idea how to use passkeys. It doesn’t seem obvious to the average user.

I tried adding a passkey to an account, and all it does is cause a Firefox notification that says “touch your security key to continue with [website URL]”. It is not clear what to do next.

It’s not a national election, but in Hong Kong, a 1,500-member Beijing-controlled electoral college elects the Chief Executive of Hong Kong and controls nearly half of the legislature.

“[The] main reasons that motivate editors to add AI-generated content: self-promotion, deliberate hoaxing, and being misinformed into thinking that the generated content is accurate and constructive,” Lebleu said.

No, which is why I said it’s not a monopoly. It’s a different form of anti-consumerism.

I don’t think Apple’s business model fits the definition of “monopoly”, but they are a different kind of anti-competitive, in my opinion. Forcing users to use your own ecosystem by forcing competitors to be shittier or nonexistent through technical means is still anti-competitive.

The US Green Party, and all other minor parties, have no incentive to act professionally or nominate serious candidates because voters can’t really punish it electorally for nominating shit candidates or other screw-ups by the party.

The Green Party has no incentive to act professionally because voters cannot punish them electorally for it.

It seems you’re right. I did not know that.

That’s true. Mullvad will even let you send cash by post to them which is definitely not something you can do with other services.

However, in terms of private payment options, you can always use BTC’s Lightning Network with the other options if that concerns you.

The VPNs you characterise as “shitty” aren’t necessarily a bad choice; they’re cheaper than the legitimate privacy VPNs. Mullvad is famously 5€ per month, Proton is 4.49€ per month, but NordVPN is 3.09€, Surfshare is 2.19€, and PIA is 1.79€ per month.

If you’re really just here to pretend you’re in another country (rather than privatemaxing) or hide your torrenting activity from your ISP, the cheaper options can be a perfectly legitimate choice.

Explosives don’t seem smart. Why didn’t they poison the chocolate instead? The enemy opens the chocolate, sees nothing wrong with it, shares it with their mates, and then now you’ve got five casualties who are none the wiser. Is that against the rules of war or something?

I cannot believe that actually worked.
