If this thread is to be believed their statement about TeamViewers products being unaffected is likely not true.

Exclusive: Majority Of Voters Want Next Government To Take UK Back Into European Union
  • Joining at this point would require an insane effort on the UKs side. I am pretty sure that an undemocratic institution like the house of lords would not be acceptable under current EU laws and that is not even accounting for the UKs voting system. The UK would also have to join the currency union. The last point alone makes rejoining very unlikely in my opinion. I think the only thing UK citizens can realistically hope for is, at best, something similar to the Norway model.

  • I have an online business. How f*cked am I ?
  • What is your threat model? If you don't want to give any data to these companies you simply can't interact with them at all. Where do you draw the line? Once you have figured that out you can come up with a plan.

    One thing you probably should always do is separating your business devices from your personal devices. Then create the accounts you need for your business and only use them with your work laptop or phone. If you want, you can invent a sockpuppet persona that acts as your social media manager. This should insulate your personal life from most tracking as long as you don't use your work laptop for things unrelated to work. I wouldn't fuss around too much with privacy preserving apps for a business accounts outside of ad-blocking and regularly cleaning up cookies.

  • Semmelweiss is also partially responsible for the widespread rejection of his findings. He basically called doctors who did not follow his advice murderers which naturally didn't help his popularity. Antagonising someone who you are trying to convince usually just entrenches their opinions further.

  • I guess for "Flugzeug", 'device' works better but I don't think I have ever thought about it in that way. From my experience usage usually goes more like this: "Pack dein Zeug zusammen wir gehen weiter." which I think best translates to 'Stuff' or 'things'. Zeug is an interesting word though. It is also used for the harness of a draft animal ("sich ins Zeug legen"), it's bridle ("Zaumzeug"), bed linen ("Bettzeug"), work tools ("Werkzeug") , or as a word for nonsense ("red kein dummes Zeug"). I would say it started, as you said, as a word for device but became a slightly negative word for 'Stuff'.

    Silverblue vs uBlue
  • I am using Kinoite for quite a while now and not once did layering break anything. The only thing I notice is that the mesa drivers from rpmfusion occasionally go out of sync with the fedora repos and I have to wait a few days for an update. I think ublue would fix that but I am not bothered enough by that to make the switch. What where you trying to achieve that you managed to break Kinoite?

  • A PR disaster: Microsoft has lost trust with its users, and Windows Recall is the straw that broke the camel's back
  • Nobody ever accused powershell of being concise. Its uses a completely different philosophy, object oriented rather than string based. This makes powershell nicer to write scripts in but also makes it worse at bash style one-liner commands.

  • Bovex! Badness 0 (Apostrophe‛s version) - Suckerpinch
  • The videos by suckerpinch are always a treat. I can also highly recommend his video about filesystems that store data in difficult ways, for example by playing Tetris in a NES emulator and using the arrangement of the tetris blocks as data store.

  • [Gamesfromscratch] Did Adobe Just %#@$ Up?
  • They will boil that frog slowly. Soon there will be an alternative subscription with a discount for previous license holders. Then they hide the option to buy a perpetual license so only people who spent time to search for it can find it; and finally they will remove the option completely and claim that they did that because "Nobody was buying it".

  • [Gamesfromscratch] Did Adobe Just %#@$ Up?
  • The business model could change very quickly and promises by companies aren't worth the paper they are written on. The CEO might tomorrow decide to sell the company to a large tech company which more often than not leads to the destruction of the software the company developed. Only open source or, even better, free software can guarantee that your software wont be enshittified.

    Fedora Linux @lemmy.ml e8d79 @discuss.tchncs.de
    The Wireplumber configuration format changed in Fedora 40

    Just in case anyone else encounters this.

    If you had any custom settings for Wireplumber in a lua config you need to migrate them to the new format.
