also I would recommend this video & and others by shounic

linky

I misread this as if it lacked the y and was slightly confused for a second

to be fair , neither the free software movement nor the open source movement (which are distinct ideologically) are explicitly socialist . in a way , especially the free software movement , they embody an extention of liberalism .

both of these movements focus on the individuals freedom and take issue not with developers/companies being systemically incentivized to develop closed source / nonfree software , but with individual developers/companies doing so . thus the solution taken is limited to the individual not to systemic change .

to be fair I can’t imagine Gabe being that fond of piracy … checks ah never mind mind

One thing that we have learned is that piracy is not a pricing issue. It’s a service issue. The easiest way to stop piracy is not by putting antipiracy technology to work. It’s by giving those people a service that’s better than what they’re receiving from the pirates.

- Gabe Newell , as quoted by gamesradar

BTW the quote is under this amazing image , which I very much hope was not placed there recently :

I believe it was a app , yes

I mean I get why its a thing but like ew , very uncomfy , ugh

As someone who is currently inside of mental hospital grounds , reminding people to take their meds isnt bad I’d say . /hj

On a serious side I feel like this isn’t that bad , as it is more general than using a specific issue as an insult

decided to check : mandelbrot can be compressed by 87.5% by gzip on maximum compression strength

its efficient in terms of compiler size ! nya

honestly what I hate the most about those quotes is that every one of those slogans actually have a quite clear meaning , especially within the context of the book .

smh he is racist, overconfident, and uneducated

I’ve seen a calculator interpret 1 ÷ 2π as ½π which was kinda funny

but , but its compiled with GCC the GNU C Compiler , so , um , its still gnu , now pls shut up ,

I honestly really like Ubuntu, not sure why, but its very smooth. I kinda want to try using open dyslexic though… I currently use Fira code for monospace though.

BTW, normal online credit/debit card purchases can require 2fa. I got automatically enrolled, but I’m not about people who don’t use the mobile app, but SMS 2fa may be used as a fallback :/

I don’t as there is a service called blik in my country which seems private enough and is way more hassle free to use. It generates one time use codes for payment and requires user confirmation for each payment. Not sure how private it is on the back end, but it pretty much gets rid of the same risks virtual credit cards target. It’s also pretty well supported, both by banks and payment processors.

Again not sure how private it is on the back end, but, at least for me, its more user friendly than using a credit card so I cant be bothered.

Edit: the privacy policy for both blik and their website (I think?) is 13 pages, 9 of which give a detailed description of how they use cookies. Also the privacy regulations here are quite strict and they actually follow them, so you can not opt into cookies with as much effort as it takes to opt in. It is also a service made by banks, so I feel its quite trust wordy.

Also OP, if the banks web extention doesn’t require access to all websites, it probably won’t track you, at least more than your bank tracks you already.

the author is not Irish not sure if I can trust it.

I will just remind yall that an state in the EU has admitted to having access to the Pegasus spyware.

Pegasus is a program that is used by services combating crime and corruption in many countries…It would be bad if the Polish services did not have this type of tool

- Jaroslaw Kaczynski, the leader of the ruling Law and Justice party as quoted by the Verge (first article I found)

He is also quoted as saying that claims that Pegasus had been used against political opponents are “utter nonsense”.

The Polish controversy was started when the spyware was found on a opposition members phone.

The Law and Justice party, according to polls (and some Poles), is set to win the largest number of seats in tomorrows election, though they might struggle to form a government.

We are doomed aren’t we.
