Brave browser quietly slips a VPN service onto your Windows PC
telemetry and troubleshooting information can be used for fingerprinting. This isn't an issue for most people but I can understand why some wouldn't like it. Tor browser strips a lot of that as well for similar reasons.
It's believed to be that Google will serve different websites to non-Chrome (maybe non-Chromium) browsers, or they specifically use features that only they implement to ensure that it performs worse on other browsers. And I don't mean they add a new feature and it's only them, but that
. Honestly, fuck Google.agreed. a good stoner doesn't force anyone to smoke (although they may accidentally hotbox the room) and just wants everyone to be at their ideal level of high, even if thats not at all.
You can't just do stuff the company (as bullshit as it is) tells you not to, break the software and then call the company shit for doing something out of scope.
The company's software can't just do stuff I (as bullshit as it is) don't want it to, break my system and/or overwrite data on partitions and drives I did not give it explicit or implicit permission to read, access, or modify, and then tell me my use case is unsupported and so I just have to deal with it.
I'm not OP and I don't even dual boot, but it's my computer, not Microsoft's. If I want to dual boot, and Windows breaks that despite me not making any changes to Windows, then yes the company deserves to have shit placed at their feet. Linux doesn't overwrite any Windows data when it updates unless you tell it to, so why have tons of people (including multiple friends) had Windows overwrite their Linux data on updates?
I'm guessing it's moreso that Gnome likes to make changes that can break things like extensions, and they probably don't hot swap shell components. The biggest reason you need to restart after Linux updates is that certain things are only loaded during the boot process (i.e. the kernel, initramfs, some boot or filesystem options) and can't easily be reloaded while the system is running. But you update something like dnsmasq, you probably just need to restart the service. At worst you need to reload the systemd daemon for config changes to take. And if you're just updating binaries, unless it's something like PAM that can also be not fun to restart and is constantly running, you probably don't need to do very much.
At a certain point, Windows decides that you're going to update whether you like it or not. It's one of the main reasons I stopped using it. And the updates honestly suck so hard. Such a shitty upgate process.
Vaultwarden is a fork of Bitwarden with a few more features enabled and some minor (although potentially important) differences. It works with any Bitwarden front end. It's on my todo to eventually migrate to from Bitwarden for the free TOTP
Iirc they literally just take over some land, forcibly remove or execute anyone who won't leave, and then they move in and start building. Literal colonizer behavior.

Tbh this gets you down a very weird rabbit hole, especially if you're in tech. When you start to look at cybersecurity and the direction it's heading, a lot of cutting edge stuff uses a zero trust framework. cybersecurity as a field has realized that information and data is so ubiquitous at this point that it cannot be trusted at all and has to be authenticated and checked at every step. That's real defense in depth there; making sure that every level independently audits the information it uses within the context it needs.
But speaking as someone studying cybersecurity and is getting entrenched in the field & community, once you learn how much you can trust trust you really get a baseline level of paranoia. And to be honest, in my opinion the only thing to do is embrace it. It's difficult and you'll probably want to fuck off and become Amish, but once you see information as just information to be used, consumed, manipulated, and shared as needed the possibilities really open up. The future is only going to be more information and data dependent. Being able to intuitively tap into that is like a super power.
I place some — not uniformly distributed, only on those that do this — blame on the Israeli citizens that knowingly move into a recently captured area. They're literally colonizing the Palestinians land. I don't fuck with colonizers.
Pounds aren't used for mass. They're explicitly a measure of weight. It's just almost always in the context of earth's gravity so the approximation to mass can easily be made.
This ThinkPad is 3 years old with an AMD Zen 3 chip. It's not fantastic but i should be able to muster better frames. I'm overclocking my laptop just to hit 30 frames with consistency
This is lemmy, a lot of people came from Reddit. Now think about if your comment makes sense to describe the average Redditor. Lemmy users are maybe slightly better if not a lot worse.
yes, i grew up playing CS:GO. I'm from the generation where our main Counter Strike title was CS:GO. I love playing arms race high or surfing while drunk just to relax.

It's pretty borked on Linux for some people, especially if you have a lower end computer. I understand there are major updates that will take more power, but it's difficult to get consistency from the game whatsoever. I'm guessing the Vulkan renderer for the Source 2 engine needs to be better optimized.
I could manage 40-80 frames on CS:GO on my lil thinkpad. Trying CS2, I'm getting 10-30 frames. That'd be fine if it stayed closer to the top end of the spectrum, but it stutters so much that I can hardly play whatsoever. That combined with the millions of small changes they made that I have to get used to makes it a really unfun experience. Which is sad because CS:GO is one of my comfort games
You can check out online legal services! They might be able to help you a bit more with the process without breaking the bank.
You could release the ideas and techniques but patent it to protect from commercial theft. then sell licensing and expertise while making it easy for lower income people to utilize what you make.
