Then don’t. Use only when you need it, or use literally any other free offering there is. This is not for you.

hosting the db in a network storage? That’s self hosting with extra steps.

So no harm, noted.

Pay to be the “truth” on a fact checking tool? Fox news is very interested.

It’s… Challenging. Like the pet eating thing, there are many sources saying it’s true and many saying it’s false. Official sources can lie (Russia came to mind for no reason whatsoever), so we rely on sources we already trust, which is tricky and even subjective.

I imagine that “if in Fox then False” is a good start, but aside from that I can only think it getting extra sources, also a challenge without real time web crawling of the internet, were google and Microsoft are already light years ahead.

As a data scientist, trust me: you don’t want us developing ANYTHING else. You guys dogged a bullet having us busy.

They can, but why? If I can be enabled/disabled, what’s the harm? If I thought Firefox is nefarious it wouldn’t use it at all, not just avoid their extensions. It’s not like that’s the only way they could have to spy of it was the goal.

This will be aimed for the average Joe that thinks it’s “neat” edge has it and doesn’t know about extensions.

Mullvad and Librewolf might have it disabled, it’s an easy switch.

That was my point. They (forum users, I don’t think actual developers) insisted that it’s a middle solution. That I could use the application and whitelist only the browser and that some JS could bypass the VPN and get the real IP.

I got two years of Nord for that same reason, then two of Proton that’s about to end, so this was probably around 4 years ago.

Browser extension for the VPN? I remember asking in the forums some time back and they were extremely hostile to the idea.

Is this less powerful than the shield? I can get those second hand for less than the asking price for this, and for us sailors streaming apps are not important

The dip in “others” correlated to the increase in Linux being correlated is not an issue. They need to add up to 100%, how do you expect one to increase with l without a decrease in the other?

The funny thing is that Google can’t make a big fuss about it without screwing themselves when they are inevitably sued for the same thing.

Not sure if somebody mentioned, but you can export to one drive. So you can get a 1TB account for a free trial or for a single month and export everything there as simple files, no large zips. Then with the app download to the computer and then cancel one drive.

Pretend to be in California/EU and then ask full removal of all your data on both Microsoft and google

Could be worse, could be Z for Zionist

ELI5: what does this mean for the end user? Is there any simple test I can do with both to see this?

I didn’t downvote it, but I really didn’t like the video. It goes like “the things that are problems in Linux” and then starts talking about an extremely customized system, from DE to kernel, to audio…

I don’t think he gets, in general at least, to explain why those are needed, just how complex it all is. It would have been more interesting to say “this are the problems with an out of the box distro, and the hurdles it took me go fix each one”.

Mind you, this doesn’t mean I think a fresh install of Ubuntu can perfectly work for him. But knowing what didn’t work and why might be more helpful for people considering the same

A pity the last point is a link to YouTube. The Google owned video platform.

I would either point to a competitor or at least an invidious server.

I don’t know what mods it was, but I remember playing with friends in s very chill server, each doing whatever crap they wanted when suddenly we all died and our mountain base was wiped and one of them was like “I didn’t cool well the nuclear reactor”. Probably the most I laughed in a game, aside from cyberpunk on PS4 on release day.

Unpopular opinion: instead (or aside) from being upset at Google, you should be upset at the legislative framework that makes companies think they can get away with this

FastAPI, not a language, but a very good python library, if somebody wants to read the story
