Day #2,561 of waiting for #Apple users complaining about the incessant insults and regressions in their "ecosystem" to realize that they're in a fruit-themed prison that's shrinking their freedoms every single day...
writing code is nature's way of telling you how sloppy your mental model is
is there a modern day version of SUSE Studio? everyone builds custom images in CI but I think a GUI for this is really neat
the fact that BSD heads keep pointing out "the rate of pointless change in BSD is way lower than it is in Linux" as a selling point when I keep pointing out (to relative normies) the same thing for using free software in general, is not lost on me.
ipchains ➡️ iptables ➡️ nftables, for example, and a sizable portion of firewall shit is still accomplished via iptables plus some kind of undoubtedly horrifying translation layer. this isn't what I would call "good."
Just filed an EU DMA complaint against Alphabet for gatekeeping against secure Android derivatives like @GrapheneOS via Play Integrity.
TL;DR: not certified ≠ not secure. Google lacks a FRAND certification process for non-OEMs that comply with objective security requirements.
Heads up.
Have you seen that new chat feature on YouTube? I just discovered if you hit "Share Link" and send someone a YouTube video, it will now be considered an invite to chat as well. Meaning the tracker link attached to the video now links to you directly. To turn this off when hitting share, go to the "sending as person" drop down and click "change in settings". That will take you to the privacy settings where you can toggle it off.
I had thought my brother had initiated this to try the feature. Turns out it's an on-by-default setting that links directly back to your username (or real name depending on your Google account settings) when you share a link outside YouTube.
It's now more important than ever to remove the tracking markers from links if you haven't been doing it before.
"sudo" is a typical unix shortening, in this case of the word "pseudo", which reminds us that while the computer might be pretending to follow our commands, at the end of the day computer can never be trusted
