Lemmy interpreted the * as something cursive. I try to edit it like I mean it.

Sorry to hear, I feel you:

I wanted to delete all .m3u-files in my music collection when I learned:

find ./ -name "*.m3u" -delete -> this would have been the right way, all .m3u in the current folder would have been deleted.

find ./ -delete -name "*.m3u" -> WRONG, this just deletes the current folder and everything in it.

Who would have known, that the position of -delete actually matters.

Does anyone know a good screenshot tool for wayland?

Thanks for the hint with hide-my-email! I will ask my mail provider, if they offer something like this as a service.

Legitimate question. Targeted ads feel obvious to many, but it is more about control.

• Google knows more about you than your partner or you yourself know about you. And they know how to use that knowledge. The scariest part: this control over you is for sale.
• Google controls how you use things. By being the defacto standard in so many things, they have the power to control how things look, feel and are beeing used. We are missing a lot of innovation because of that.
• Google can basically decide, which business survives and which doesn't. It's not the one with the better product, it is the one which pays more money to Google. By that it helps to promote big companies, small businesses have a hard time to establish themselves. Even in my small citiy: if the new barber doesn't pay for Google placement and begs for useless 5-star-ratings, he won't survive.
• It is hard to get out! You are getting lulled in with convenience and you unlearn how to use the internet outside of Google. Google takes prisoners and puts them in a plushy cell.

I think you’d be surprised at how much everything else is tracking you still.

You are absolutely right, I am surprised again and again. But I do my best to avoid it, if I find something that tracks me. And I am surprised that so many people let themselves being exploited, and even defend this exploitation.

Free yourself! It is work. But it is worth it. And it is not too late.

It is never too late. Free yourself from this abusive relationship, it feels fantastic.

Wow, I am so so much against your suggestion, but I have to upvote you, for your bravery.

To add something constructive: The app Element as a Matrix client works good for me.

Reading your comment on GrapheneOS with the open source Client Jerboa, attained from F-Droid. And all thanks to Lemmy (AGPL)!

Your comment is one of few that really deserves a downvote - but there are at least 30 people that interpret the downvote and upvote function differently. Lucky you. Downvoting should be used to identify poor comment quality, not disagreement. Your comment quality is very poor.

Thank you for your human response. And now: human music.

I didn't, after two years of Linux only. When is my turn?

The future of the internet, we have arrived.

FreeCAD isn't an abomination. Maybe it feels like one for you, but that isn't the truth for everyone.

I for one enjoy it very much. My workflow for building carports with the arch and part workbench feels quite solid, no crashes and I am fast enough to make profit.

Aaaand here is the takedown notice: takedown

Get rid of convenient things, that's how they get you!

If only there was a way for you to get your point accross, without insulting others.

Calling a bunch of people 'dickriders' is just as toxic as the Linus-message. Do what you want, but you are not an inch better than Linus.

But yes, the mail is toxic and unacceptable.

I bought a used Synology before knowing more about NAS alternatives. I hated every minute with it.. Because it was a bit older, security updates could stop anytime. And using the proprietary OS felt even more unsave. Who knows what backdoors are build in there? I sold it after I found out that there is no way to install a custom OS or any alternative to the proprietary version.

Edit: found a picture of it:

His reply was so serious, I didn't dare to whoosh him. What if that reply was a joke as well? The internet is a scary place.

However to expect things to just be done for us out of the kindness of people's hearts I think is bordering on entitled.

Yes, there are people who do that, but there are many more people in the FOSS world who don't expect anything and instead contribute.

Focusing on the entitled people won't make you happy, reagardless the topic.
