How dare you find a tone to respond that makes me regret my original harsh choice of words a little? :P Still - my point was that no matter how much Torvals is involved, the linux ecosystem isn’t under his control, while proton services are very much under corporate control, and if their CEO decides to introduce a backdoor for american nazi services, that can happen.
Goddamnit that motherfucker is cringe. And stupid…
Your analogy/ example is fucked up and beyond stupid. Protonmail is hosted by the organization. Linus has no access to the Linux systems in the world. Also, thousands have contributed to the Linux ecosystem.
yeah, proper facepalm there… hello Winsucks Recall…
That falls under convenience. Getting others to leave corporate bullshit malware and/or spyware takes effort (and I know very well how frustrating it is). Personally I refuse to use discord or FascistApp (I guess with the recent policy changes that name is warranted) etc with all the implications that it has.
Been using matrix since forever :) But the dissing of shitty corporate centralized applications is necessary because way too many naive users still give their data away for convenience.
Fuck discord. Proprietary spyware. That shit isn’t getting on my computer anytime ever.
Thank you. Fuck that piece of shit.
I am never gonna not up-vote a pro Luigi and anti CEO millionaires post.

I can’t get over how facile and stupid the identification of LM was at a McDoballs. This is someone who fell off the entire grid for three months??
That directly juxtaposes the seemingly easy identification with an implication/presumption/insinuation/allegation that authorities were unable to find someone for 3 months. Since they were not looking, the original statement as such is pointless.
And how is that relevant to the authorities “not being able to find” someone when they are not looking for that person? oO

Three months? And no one correcting you on that? WTF? Couple of days between shooting and arrest…!
Other than that: yeah, unlikely anyone could recognize anyone from those pubished photos.
Big red button might help, but when I’m “in the zone” with coding, normally I forget everything around me :) One moment I’ll be browsing the web on my leisure time, and then I have an idea for one of my work projects, switch to that and “wake up” 8 hours later with lots of stuff done and no idea when I “clocked in” - that’s usually when I do “ls -lR” on my project folders and check file timestamps :D
The problem is working on different computers & sometimes switching back and forth between private time and work time. That’d require actual button presses or something to “clock” in/out
As someone who works atrocius times of their own volition & has to create a clean timesheet every end of the month, this is a great idea -buyt there are too many special rules to consider imo - also I never properly track time (keep forgetting) but reconstruct work times from emails, chats & calendar entries :)
Interesting read but I’d argue a fish is a concept by characteristics, not considered a biological classification. Much like mammals.
Fish: has scales and fins and a swim bladder and gills. Sharks are not easy to classify as fish, and whales certainly are not.
Again, thanks for the article, it was interesting to read indeed.
german people have large privacy and date security fears. This has kept them off of many other platforms. Most people in my friends circle never had a MySpace / Facebook… Being in an anonymous space like here is nice.
While this is true for me(*) - partially, it’s not a fear, it’s a certainty that my data is not secure anywhere online - I would be positively surprised (but kind of doubt that) if younger people actually think consciously about their online privacy.
* never had myspace, deleted all my facebook posts, comments, contacts & then account in 2012 when they changed the terms & conditions to own everything you upload - and before then I had never used my real last name there
I guess I should have clarified in my original comment that I was exaggerating - obviously, C++ doesn’t get as bad as python, not even into the same ballpark.
My emphasis was on “don’t use C++ like you would python” because that’s not good advice imo.
Have you been following the news though? The 180 policy swings the moment it seemed good for business under a new administration in the divided states? Is it really so far-fetched to worry about a dipshit at the top of a company?
