Yeah, I don't understand the hate that guy gets on Lemmy group think. He's not a scientist, but so long as people dont view his ideas as absolute truth, I don't see what is wrong with pointing at some unexplained mystery and asking 'what if'
And to say it's truly racist to state anything like that there might have been some ancient culture is just absurd.
People have their minds made up so he apparently falls into the heretic camp. I doubt many of the people here have actually read or watched his stuff. There are of course people that take what he says as gospel and that is also problematic.
That said, he's been on more and more of woe is me the victim and it's getting old.
It almost seems like there's anti Mozilla campaign going on. It's normal to see some critique but all of a sudden there is a huge Mozilla hate push. Call me crazy but it feels organized
Title is probably true, but also it's less likely for the NSA to leak your info than say an ISP that openly sells your info. I highly doubt that the NSA sees someone pirating Photoshop as a priority. VPNs can help with preventing a random ad from logging your real loose location, have built in DNS ad block, open up region locked content plus a list of other benefits.
VPNs absolutely help with general privacy, like not putting your personal phone number on a public registry. They are not intended to perfectly hide you from a super power's intelligence agency lol
You can always just try endeavouros. Its pretty much arch with calmaries installer. It even uses official arch repos
Way way better than gmail IMO. One simple reason is if you have something wrong with your account you can get in contact with a real human. And still better data protection than anything in the US. I'm not a journalist or freedom fighter so for my use case it's ideal.
Would explicit sync solve the xwayland electron apps from UI glitching and flickering?
Intel GPUs look like a great value. And AV1 hardware acceleration is a game changer
Same goes for Alaska/Canada/Russia/China. This meme must have been made by stereotypical self centered texan lmao
I doubt they need to install something new for a back door
No doubt it does. especially damning if you look into the history of the founder. Discord's data is worth too much not to be used. They even have it on the ToS that they can transcribe voice calls.
That doesn't help much. Maybe if your friend group is around 40+ years old, and has been on the net since the 90s. But it's not a comparable product. Matrix with element is the closest foss alternative, but even then it has clunky ux, and spaces are a subpar replacement to discord servers.
I wish that wasn't the case but it is. The world needs a foss discord/slack option with an open protocol like matrix. If anyone knows of any projects in progress please let me know!
The bot should at least pick from a pool of apps new enough to run on the latest 2 versions of Android. There's a lot of ancient apps that haven't been updated in ages.
Ah yes, because fighting oppression with checks notes more oppression works
/s
Knowning openai they will make the platform as locked down as they can
Take 2 people that have not used gimp or krita. Ask them to daw a circle, and see which software they are able to do it in.
Gimp is a ux nightmare (or at least it used to be i haven't used ot in years) I will try gimp 3 when it comes out in 2037
The message is that it's not only the unwashed pan handlers that are homeless. There are a lot of people that are or have been productive members of society that still become homeless. In the US a lot of the obvious homeless have major mental health conditions so many just assume that's the main issue behind the majority of homless. When in reality it's low wages that don't keep up with inflation let alone inceases in cost of living
I was homeless in 2012 for about half a year. It was quite the eye openening experience. Most of us hid that we were homeless the best we could so the cops wouldn't falsely arrest us for being "drunk in public". Lot's of people had cars but couldn't afford gas. Roughly 80% of us never pan handled, and were as clean as we could be. I learned to sleep in the park during the day and keep moving at night.
