Which is also pointless - “legitimate interest” is basically them saying “i have a very good reason to access your data, as per GDPR, so I don’t need explicit consent”. Deselecting it has no effect, I think they only do that to make you lose time. The only way to avoid those companies using your data is to challenge them in court and show that they do not, in fact, have a legitimate interest. That’s their whole game

Have you tried reading the post? They already did

I never heard of AltGr reffered to as “Meta”, except maybe in the sense of “Emacs modifier” which might be bound to it. Super is definitely the key between LCTL and LALT though

You can use Meta or Super as a more agnostic term

No, it’s the sequel to Supersonic Acrobatic Rocket Powered Battle Cars

Funny, to me it’s kind of the opposite - we need to give diversified environments where people can feel welcome, not trying to jam everyone into one big “community” which is anything but.

I think that’s what was great about the forum and personal website era. If you wanted a place where you can use edgy language and spend your time shitting on things, there’s a website you could go to. Unicorns and hopeposting are over here. Nerds and geeks are over there.

That doesn’t mean segregating and creating ideology bubbles. Everyone can visit and be part of any, and can stay well away from the ones you know you don’t like. Take /b/ for example: it is famous for having a certain demographic, and if you don’t want to see it, you simply don’t go there. It’s not in your face, they’re happy about not having “normies” there, you’re happy about not having them in your digital home, every one wins. And if you’re ever in a certain mood and would like to venture in the woods, it’s there.

The same set of rules can’t fit all the possible users, purposes, times, etc. And although I also subscribed to the thought bubble theory , the counterargument that it’s actually the opposite - the lack of “social glue” between participants in discussions, made a lot of sense to me.

Not what you asked for, but you may be interested in getting a keyboard running QMK where you can define these kind of modifier overloading (and much much more) on the keyboard itself, so it’s “portable” and doesn’t require OS/DE settings

We know. But the point is no one is coming to save you, and things aren’t going to get better on their own.

External drives are more prone to damage and failures, both because they’re more likely to be dropped/bumped/spilled on etc, and because of generally cheaper construction compared to internal drives. In the case of SSDs the difference might be negligible, but I suggest you at least make a copy on another “cold” external drive if the data is actually important

Fair, good point :)

This doesn’t really have anything to do with critical thinking, it’s just that our brains work on estimations and approximations, although experience can balance it out.

Try this: draw a martini glass (inverted cone), and draw a line where you think it would be half full.

Also no ROCm support afaik, so it’s running completely on CPU

They don’t want to protect, they want exclusivity.

There seems to be a gross misunderstanding of how everything works here. Any platform will need to provide data to authorities when “asked properly” - as in, receives an actual order from some enforcing body that has authority on the subject in question. No commercial company will fight the CIA in court to protect your data. The best you can hope for is that they minimize what kind of data they collect about you in the first place - in the case of E2EE, they will only have access to IPs and other metadata such as connection timestamps and nothing else. But all of the services you listed will collect at least IPs and most will do phone numbers as well. The only difference with Telegram is that they’re transparent about it. You can either avoid using commercial platforms altogether, or use them in a way such that data retrieved from them will be useless. But believing that “Signal will never give my IP to law enforcement” is delusional.

Indeed… IPv6 needs to be actively disabled, not enabled, by default.

Can’t you hide bot accounts from your settings?

Unless your ISP provides IPv6 connectivity, which gives every endpoint a globally-routable address. Firewalling at the router only works because of NAT.
