Only if you’re a corporation! If you’re a filthy worker then you have no rights.

Sounds almost like the corpos have a monopoly on email.

Oh my gods. I didn’t think we’d ever get to see Xotecha.

He lives with no valid reason.

What shoes CBH even mean? I feel like I’ve never seen it.

I recently put Graphene on my no-longer work phone. I think what makes it extra tough is that it feels familiar and simultaneously alien.

There’s an action centre, and you can edit toggles, but there are no editable sliders for audio and brightness. A lot of the icons feel like buttons but aren’t.

Then there’s the gestures. They feel a little off. The back motion can be done forward too, and there’s no preview of what “back” is. And I loathe the settings pane.

Graphene is nice, but I still dislike Android.

Primarily about performance and reliability. I blanket my network in a VPN, if I can’t reliably get my usual speeds that’d be discouraging.

This blog post reads entirely like AI and the excerpt in the post or whatever doesn’t really make sense.

AI disclosure?

It it’s funny because I was sitting with figuring out a good monitoring solution for my own needs the other day. Too bad none of this actually provides any useful information.

I am interested in this too. I’ve heard mixed things about IVPN but that seems to be the main alternative.

I hooked my laptop up to the TV yesterday and learned that the Jellyfin app (on a phone) can remote control a web browser session. It was great. Utterly seamless.

More than vibe coded, this part should be concerning.

Andy Yen, the CEO of Proton, had a message for an employee in the company’s security Slack channel who urged the company to at least take a few days to pentest newly written code before pushing it live. “That’s bullshit and loser thinking. Of course it’s possible to be fast and secure,” Yen wrote in the channel at the end of August. “Stop thinking always of how to be slower, and focus more on how to be faster.”

Someone highlighted that they should take a few days to do some extra testing to ensure security. The CEO says it’s bullshit and to be less slow. That’s extremely reckless.

“Stop thinking always of how to be slower, and focus more on how to be faster.”

It’s not “how to be slower” but “how to be safer and ensure we deliver a product that holds up to what we’re portraying it as.”

It isn’t the same thing, no. The Russian alternative got forked by some EU corporation and relabeled to Euro Office. Further, it’s FOSS, so it can be truly independently audited unlike Microslop’s garbage.

I will urge LibreOffice/Collabora any day. I don’t really care for the Russian BS suite because it still adheres to Microsoft’s proprietary “open” document standards, and so long as you use that bullshit you’ll never own your own documents. You’ll always be beholden to their garbage one way or another.

It specifically says that performance wasn’t benchmarked.

The root cause is incompatibility with Microsoft’s proprietary document format causing fuckiness for LibreOffice based Collabora. E.g. formatting issues.

They could’ve tried the Russian alternative but I guess they’d prefer to gargle Microsoft’s fetid cock some more.

What exactly made Holmes crazy? All the billionaires are like her, her mistake was getting caught scamming the billionaire class.

Without even opening the article, let me guess. Industrial farming ruins the soil and so the crop can’t absorb the nutrients because they’re just not there? Almost like large-scale profit-first thinking comes back to bite our collective arses like it fucking consistently does in all other areas of life?

Minns för något år sedan hade Nexon, ett spelföretag, bedragit sina kunder angående en gambling mekanik. De tjänade in ~$400 miljoner på det. De fick böter på under $10m om jag minns rätt. Det blir ju inte böter då, det blir ju en slags skatt man får betala för att bryta mot lagen.

Meta/Facebook/Instagram/Whatsapp/Threads gick ut för ett tag sedan och medgav att de hade piratkopierat ~80tb med böcker. De hade fått sina anställda att göra detta. Allt för att träna sina språkmodeller. De menar att utan att bryta mot lagen fungerar inte deras business model.

Om du eller jag skulle göra något liknande skulle vi vara körda för livet. Se t.ex. Aaron Swartz. Att ha pengar betyder att du står ovanför lagen.

Vid det här laget bör det vara föga förvånande när stora multimiljardsföretag gör något olagligt. De har råd att betala böterna. Därför är det helt okej att manipulera demokratiska system, piratkopiera böcker, vålla någon annans död, osv. De står ovanför lagen.

Finland kommer knappast att slå ned hårt.
