The keyword here is "modern". Some people use older hardware, like DVRs with ancient firmwares.

Most people, nowadays, use cloud services instead of USB sticks, so I guess it's preferred to focus on supporting legacy devices.

The real problem may be external hard drives. Those are commonly used by media creators. Unless they know that they should format to exFAT when buying, they will learn it when it's way too late.

I may be on the later category. It was ~15 years ago, and little Jimmy (me) got his first external hard drive. However, he didn't know about formats, and that he couldn't copy 4.5GB movies to his new toy.

Back then, it was either 4GB file size limit (FAT32), or it only works on one platform (NTFS, ext2, whatever Apple was using, ...)

I mostly use Librewolf on Linux, and Fennec on Android. When I specifically need a Chromium-based browser, I usually open a Chromium guest from nix-shell on Linux, or Kiwi on Android.

I stopped following Thorium when some questionable pics were discovered in its repo

Maybe the arguments against systemd are issues of the past. I see people, hating systemd, bringing the same arguments of it being unstable, or constantly breaking, again and again.

However, I don't remember actually coming across any of those problems, or discussions about them, for the past 5+ years that I have been using Linux both for my computers and servers.

I have used Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora, Arch, Proxmox, NixOS. All of them use systemd.

They only problem I remember facing with systemd, which is actually never mentioned by anti-systemd people, is about its containers system, nspawn, which enables some security features by default. Those break things that tend to work with LXC without much tweaking. Docker, for example, may face issues running inside nspawn.

They said National Geographic, not Discovery Channel

Did Google ever offer an open source client for the email?

There is Piped, which is a web version of NewPipe

I use Tutanota for my email

No, they want to migrate from usb-based exploits, to audiojack-based ones

It has been time for that, long ago. Why did you have to wait for everything to go south?

You could theoretically host a Piped API instance, and use it to get channel info. I guess you are already using your own SSL certificates, judging by what you are trying to accomplish.

This is the Piped org btw: https://github.com/TeamPiped

It is a YouTube frontend/proxy.

Edit: I made a post on Piped's community, so we can discuss it there: https://discuss.online/post/16448014

The question is: do we want people to leave corporate services, and join the fediverse, or not? By showing such hostility towards such "crybabies" we will never get any traction.

We are facing a problem. "Crybabies" are arguing about lack of content and/or difficulty on signing up. People on Lemmy are arguing that they don't want such users in their communities. Other people, thinking of onboarding, may not join after seeing hostile users like you.

Cry all you want. Gaming performance on Linux is usually better.

The best option, I think, is to have them on separate drives (not separate partitions), and select which one to boot from UEFI.

I wish I could. However, the device belongs to the company. And sometimes we need the cameras. We used to have Thinkpads with built-in switch-like mechanism that blocks the webcam, but the newer laptops have their camera exposed.

It was an honest question. I have seen various other horrible features, like Glassdoor allowing paying employers to remove negative ratings, so I freaked out a bit in case Teams has hidden features as well.

I know this is shitpost, but since there was another indication of such feature existing (although untrustworthy - the Brave Search's AI summary), I wanted to confirm.

Since the answer of the AI seemed misleading, I asked here to confirm.

I don't blindly trust AI responses. However, that was way too concerning not to ask about it, considering that I work from home and that we use Teams.

Is this legit? Brave's AI summary claims that Teams indeed gives this option to the host. However, it points to a Teams documentation page that does not mention such feature.
