Security
  • So you think a person that would turn off UAC wouldn't just put NOPASSWD in the sudoers? I doubt that. And even if they had to enter their pwd... Wouldn't that just be annoying for the casual user instead of increasing security? I doubt they would be like "Oh I have to enter my pwd now, that really makes me think twice about whatever I was going to do with sudo."

  • Security
  • Honestly I don't think it's that bad. I have to use sudo just as often on linux as I have to accept the elevation box on win. Win11 has some serious issues but UAC is harmless.

  • Verbraucherzentrale will Amazon verklagen
  • Amazon umschifft das ein wenig, denn streng genommen hat auch das ein-Jahres-Paket keine feste Laufzeit, du kannst es als Kunde jederzeit kündigen und dir dann den Rest anteilig auszahlen lassen.

    Danke für diesen Beitrag. Dieser Umstand war mir bisher nicht klar, da er erst beim allerletzten Kündigungsschritt ersichtlich wird. Ich war schon kurz davor eine Rage Mail zu schreiben, um ein Sonderkündigungsrecht "einzufordern". Aber so war die Kündigung jetzt doch weitaus geschmeidiger :)

  • Then and now
  • Isn't that exactly the point of the meme? Internet 20 years ago was about sharing mostly. Internet today is about monetization mostly. And content quality isn't what makes you big, it's your ability to game/abuse the system

  • An Audacious Plan to Halt the Internet's Ensh*ttification ...
  • If they are 100% transparent in regard to where the money goes, I'm in. The problem with something like youtube premium is not that it's unaffordable to the majority of users. It's that at this point you have to assume that they don't need the subscription fee to cover their costs, but to shove that money up some CEOs or shareholders asses. Yeah that's not gonna happen unless they force me to and even then I'd think twice about if I really need that service.

  • [DE] "Deutschlandpakt-Regierung" ist mehr als ein Gerücht - platzt jetzt die Ampel?
  • Geht's hier nicht drum, dass die SPD die Ampel in naher Zukunft auflösen will? (vermeintlich) Schwarz/Blau ist ja eher ein Thema für die nächste Wahl. Und da kann ich mir nur schwer vorstellen, dass die SPD ne große Rolle spielen wird.

  • Netflix confirms it is increasing subscription prices, again, after adding 8.8 million customers
  • I unsubscribed when they killed account sharing and planned to subscribe just for one or two months per year to binge every show I like... but I may not subscribe again for a long time now, considering that these guys take their villain role very seriously, I mean it's really hard to not dislike them right now. They're like the Cersei Lannister of streaming services

  • Here comes another Netflix price hike
  • Either they blatantly lie about the outcome of the password crackdown or they see no issues at all to showcase how mind-bogglingly greedy they are. I think I've read this week they claim that subscriptions increased by 6 million worldwide. You'd think that is enough increase in revenue for a while, but no, let's increase prices now. Weird timing imo, unless they're testing how far they can go

  • Philip Morris lobbying to stop WHO ‘attack’ on vapes and similar products
  • If it's less harmful why on earth should it be regulated just as heavily? Of course I agree it shouldn't be sold to kids, but what the EU did to vaping is a massive shit show.

    I quitted smoking overnight thanks to vaping and then also stopped vaping a few years later. That was before the regulations though. I honestly don't believe I could pull this off today with all the braindead rules and let's not forget the massive price increase for liquids.

  • No it's not. If an ad break comes up on tv and to avoid them you go for a pee or get some snacks, no sane person would call that piracy. It's pretty much the same with youtube, I could just leave the room while an ad plays. Adblock just automates the task of not watching the ad.

  • Violent video games linked to verbal aggression and hostility but not physical aggression
  • Pretty much every sports game does not involve violence and people still rage like there's no tomorrow. I'm pretty sure people will throw slurs at you over a game of yahtzee or something, as long as it's online and there's a ladder/ranks

  • Why are the comments I made in feddit communities from my lemmy.world account not there?

    Probably stupid question, if this is wrong here please let me know.

    So I subscribed to a few feddit.de communities and started commenting, but if I check the same post over there it seems like they're not visible. What am I doing wrong?

    Update: thanks for all your replies. I'm happy to hear I did not misunderstand the concept and it's just bug :)
