Impressive that theyre finally adding a feature that ive already been using. Makes you wonder how they do that

Basic online safety to you and me can be a bit high-level for many, disproportionately so for those who are going to remain on Windows 10. I don’t like Windows, either 10 or 11, but most of the hardware losing support with 10’s EOL can run a secure and modern operating system just fine, and Windows 11 could have been that if not for the overhead of Microsoft’s telemetry and other bloat. Home users lacking computer proficiency are being thrown under the bus so that Microsoft can generate metric tons of ewaste as they force their enterprise customers to purchase new hardware. With fresh new license keys.

You’re not wrong but I think the takeaway is to hold both groups responsible

Eh they said that about desktop Linux not that long ago

Yep. We’ll be fine for a while but Google’s seriously axing the platform for foss projects and security-minded users. In no more than half a decade I anticipate Android’s open-source development scene will begin looking very similar to Apple’s.

About as much as the burger I ate yesterday still was one this morning

The only time I care enough about higher than 1080p displays is on my computer monitors so I can multitask on one display without UI elements getting mangled. If I’m playing a game or watching a video, I really can’t tell between 1080 and 4k

I use Debian as my daily driver and am disappointed to see that the best-supported devices under Mobian within my budget are the Pinephone (which has shockingly low specs) or the Pinephone Pro (recently discontinued, no longer sold. Also had poor specs).

I was toying with was getting an SBC with an LTE/5G hat & 7in touch screen, plugging it into a portable battery, and 3d printing a case for it.

Fairphone with PostMarketOS seems more practical.

If I wanted you I was gonna steal your house, and you didn’t leave, you’d be okay with your children being murdered? You’re fucking nuts

I’d argue kernel-based anticheats are one of the areas gaming on Linux excels. Video game developers should not have that level of permissions over consumers’ machines, certainly with how little your average gamer understands the potential consequences of these rootkits. So the fact that all of the ones I know of can’t be installed under Linux is more than acceptable, it’s ideal.

Just the one? You block the rest of us already?

Bought an iodd a few months ago to do my part 🫡

I wouldn’t say good

It doesn’t believe anything. It’s a language model.

not malicious in nature

Haha, sure thing William

Not feasibly, no. If a centralized platform like bluesky refuses to abide by the laws in a given country, their platform can be made inaccessible in that country. Trying to do that to countless activitypub-compliant servers wouldn’t be practical since you van just hop to another server.

Yeah, the fossify apps are at least guaranteed to be safer than the simple ones from zipo. if you’re using simple apps, you ought to switch to the fossify forks.

Honestly the only drawback is if you don’t already do selfhosting, NextCloud is kind of a big undertaking. If you’re already familiar with containerization and networking basics, it’s very smooth.

God that’s ridiculous… the image hash depends on the image not having changed at all from the one uploaded by the user. If they’re screenshotted and cropped, or sent via a messaging platform that compresses them, they’ll be visually similar enough to not matter, and different enough to have a different hash. So, Zuck gets a free peek at your your nudes, and all you get is a false sense of security.
