Yeaaaah, the other day I was thinking about how between AI, this kind of shit and foreign missinformation campaigns the only reliable long term source of information will once again be… physical books. We ruined the internet lmao

probably the same people that didn’t bother voting

yeesh, this doom hole keeps getting deeper

I encrypt my desktop and laptop but not my servers. On desktop, that excludes drives that aren’t my OS/boot drive.

Someone needs to explain to this bloody orange monkey what tariffs are.

The fuck is there to loosen? lmao

Aligns with the belief many right wingers have that educated people are just “indoctrinated libs”.

Damn Google be speed running how quickly they can make me replace all their services. Google Maps and Youtube are about the only 2 I still use.

Researchers were able to clone a user’s entire Signal session by copying the local storage directory, allowing them to access the chat history on a separate device

This has actually been useful for me in the past when reinstalling my OS lmao. In an ideal world we could reverify by entering a code from our phones to unlock the desktop local storage after moving it. My biggest wish for Signal is more seamless message history movement across devices and ecosystems. Fuck even proper back ups would be nice.

Basically they are what the 13 colonies were. Taxed to shit without support and rep lmao

overloaded with truth

lmao chill. A broken clock is still right twice a day.

I agree with almost everything you said. I’m not referring to services like Netflix as owning. More specifically the recent debacle with Sony removing access to PURCHASED content. I would happily buy my movies and TV shows on something like Google play movies or Apple TV. My issue is I can’t trust any of these corps not to pull the rug out from under me. Their track record says they will. It’s a question of when not if. We need a streaming equivalent of Spotify for TV and movies. Obviously it would be much more expensive than Spotify, but I would happily pay for the convenience of having anything I want as much as I want on one platform/interface. Streaming sucks right now where libraries are spread across platforms with varying interfaces, bitrate etc. shit just sucks lol

Mandatory reminder that if buying isn’t owning then piracy isn’t stealing.

Nawh bro, gotta blame the guy for the actions of others for something so far back he wasn’t even an itch on his father’s nutsack. Like there’s any shortage of bad things to say about the guy that he’s completely responsible for lmao

Isn’t Netflix exempt from these fees too? Or do they just not allow you to sign up in app and redirect to a browser?

Well didn’t they initially want carriers implementing RCS with interoperability between each other to sunset sms? But that didn’t quite pan out. IIRC there was a time when Verizon had a limited number of devices that supported RCS but only on their network, similar story with Bell in Canada. Hell at one point even Samsung had RCS but only with other Samsung phones. Fragmentation was rampant so Google took matters into their own hands. Not saying I’m happy Googles at the helm but they didn’t start out with that intention.

In theory, sure. But, realistically I can’t picture an economically feasible way to transport it.

I thought the man was joking then I saw his smooth brained response below. Software patents are cancer and shouldn’t exist.

Give it a break. To the average user that’s like using a bazooka to hunt deer. I love Linux but Windows has its place for most people and will for many years to come.
