Correct, but arson vandalismn and a call for violence is. I couldn’t what exactly the charges awere in the MLAT request, so i have to go what 404 wrote

One can argue if the swiss goverment should have honired the MLAT request…unfortunately, that thing was put in place before the USA whent insane, and most countries do honor agreements they sign

It’s not false advertising. Just because a company advertises with privacy, it doesn’t mean they are bullet prove.

they don’t sell your data, they actually have very little data to share at all, but they do follow the swiss law.

They even publish which kind of requests they get: https://proton.me/legal/transparency

The mail is encrypted, so probably not, but they have an extensive privacy policy and some blog entries, against which threats they can protect you, which they can’t

Also, proton didn’t hand anything to the FBI, they got served by the swiss government and gave it them… Which might be a technicality, but they do not hand out information to foreign agencies

That’s the false premise…if we just buy the one which isn’t enshittified to hell, there’s less and less options for “enthusiasts” and secondly, most users are fucked, because they just need something that works.

The only way to prevent keep the devices open is via regulatory oversight, forcing politicians to see the relevance of open platform / devices and create rules accordingly. And even that is a massive uphill battle…

I was shortly offended, but then I checked the list of locales…and it seems our country is actually the only one with a “Right Single Quotation Mark”, my world view is shattered 🤯

But, that’s wrong…1 kilomile is 1000 miles not 1000 meters, that would be 1 kilometer…
so one mile is 1600 meters which makes one kilomile about 1’600’000 meters (rounded) so it would be 1’600’000/4.1 = 390’243 vw beetles

I try to as well…but it really reduces options. E.g. I do try to source my eBooks and audiobooks without DRM and theres a lot of stuff you can’t get that way, so the only way to actually buy them is to “buy” them on a platform (e.g. audible) and use 3rd party tools to remove the drm (which is against their ToC)

Also a lot of corporate tools are moving to cloud only, windows, office365, atlassian, adobe etc. and unfortunately, it’s not easy to get the higher ups to see the issues with that

And it’s not only services. Everything with an internet connection can be altered…e.g. HP updated their printerfirmware to not longer allow non-HP ink cartridges (and no I don’t own an HP). Bambu lab closed their api, preventing the users to use 3rd-party tools. Theoretically valve could close down your bootloader and then you’re fucked (they probably won’t, but still, the point stands)

And again

Amazon prevents you to

I do where I can, but often it is not possible to
a) find something you can actually buy, and call it your own. b) you still don’t know if the creator t turns a darth vader on you and tells you “I’m altering the deal, pray I don’t alter it further”
And the best thing: uf they brick it or move features behind a paywall (with an update after you “bought” it) and you circumvent their “security” to restore the function YOU are the criminal. Nice thing isn’t it?

Problem is by now, I don’t get that thing anymore. i get a freaking licence to use it for some time, and when you decide I don’t own that licence anymore you got my money and I have nothing

Munin (https://munin-monitoring.org/) It’s not very pretty but quite easy to setup and doesn’t eat so much resources as a Prometheus/grafana setup

Also, it always tries to open the office files within teams instead of the actual office application. The features are worse and everytime you receive a chat and want to check it, teams closes your file…great productivity

No hacking is circumventing the security…if you send out the password it is really bad secops. Stop selling negligence of a party as hacking.

They have to…otherwise some other shmock can come and patent it…
But what you do with the patent is your choice, you can still allow the use of the technology.

I’m running endevourOS with KDM and there are some major issues with bluetooth…I can’t get some devices to connect (e.g my keychrone Keyboard, and Cricut plotter)

I still have to disable my wireless mouse, when I hibernate, because I couldn’t be bothered to adapt the udev rules to disallow the mouse to trigger the pc to start

And finaly, I just got back into X4 Foundation and my HOTAS setup depends on which device is recognized first…either its correct, or the controls are swapped (stuff that should be on the joystick is on the thrustmaster and vice versa)…un- and replugging in the correct order fixes this, but one wod think that it would lock the controls to a fixed device identifier

Important to know: the local copy is read only…so you can’t modify existing or create new entries if you aren’t connected to the server

What…why…how?

These sound a lot like “trust me bro, he’s bad” arguments

That is the problem they get promoted as the one-size-fits-all solution on everything. And people are using it as it’s promoted

Also what a lot of people don’t see ist, that as a company if you are looking for employees, there are a lot of potential workers with adobe experience, much less with affinity (although growing). Not sure how kany you find with professional FOSS tool experience.

So you do have major onboarding costs for each new employee who has to relearn their workflows
