  • I just reconnect and hope for an unflagged IP lol

  • The only response to that should be

    Straw man: Nobody accused you of being Hitler

  • Remember aids? Now think about how long it took before a cure was found. (Hint: We might have gotten one just now.)

  • Honestly, that's a super green flag. I appreciate it a lot when people don't blast some bs they think they have heard from whomever

  • Monitor monitors the web for leaked credentials you have in Firefox's password manager. That's what it's for. I think it's quite clear why it would access your sync data

  • Not necessarily right now, but once you connect the dots.

    Since the last election, things basically went from "who needs a military anyway?" being a not that uncommon stance to a huge fucking war next door, hybrid attacks and a noticeable uptick in espionage. And today we were reminded that it's actually happening - our most important ally is now led by a maniac.

  • Zen and "mainline" (default/vanilla) are generally fine for "desktop use" and gaming. Zen is basically the mainline kernel with some tweaks. They are mostly concerned with latency, reducing the maximum time a process can spend blocking the processor - among other things.

    This can lead to less input lag or a "smoother" desktop experience, but overall performance is as good as mainline at most. Slightly worse in some scenarios.

    Hardned is a tradeoff afaik. You will stay behind mainline a bit, but get extra hardening. This can also impact performance, but rarely does in a meaningful way. If you don't have any specific reason to use it, e.g. you carry it around on a laptop with sensitive data, I would look at other ways to harden my system first (firewall, encryption, access control, anti-virus, sandboxing, VPN...).

    Pretty much the same goes for LTS, but with the focus more on stability than security.

    RT is only for special applications.

  • Learn to code and you get significantly more mad when stuff is badly implemented and much less mad about weird edge cases

  • In the US maybe, in the EU? Only if you want to get sued and then forced to re-hire them.

  • It helps a lot when people think you are insane enough to declare war against your country and occupy it to get what you want

  • Ingl, I think the only way to stay sane these times is to ignore what they say and look at what they do. As long as his products are up to my standards and values, I'll just ignore whatever he says to appease whomever

  • Probably doesn't want to get banned in the US... Or so my copium tells me.

    Silver lining is that Proton is owned by a non-profit.

  • You can make an argument for confidentiality making it harder to find exploits in your code. If nobody cares enough to report them to you, or if you don't have the resources to fix them, open-sourcing your code just exposes them.

    This is pretty much only an argument if you use stuff that would be irresponsible to use in the first place tho

  • I don't know about you, but I couldn't care less for what social media apps are available in China. Also banning social media is not censorship

  • How often did you elect a socialist government you sickos?! I am disgusted.

    Where do I sign up btw? Just so, you know, I can avoid becoming Portuguese.
