Which is why I included the bit about fighting it out legally.

But I’ve seen the downward slide of society take hard-fought civil rights away for several decades now. It’s never a sudden process, it always starts small and then slowly grows.

That’s what happens by adding features that comply with these stupid laws. Step one is NOT doing that. People can still use the software even if it doesn’t comply. What is the government going to do break into everyone’s home and look at their computers?

It’s not so simple as that, the dude provided a framework for privacy abusers to use to force us into their bullshit. If that framework did not exist they wouldn’t be able to do that so easily. There is absolutely zero reason for there to be a centralized location on an operating system that just hands out your demographic information to whoever asks for it and yes, that includes the fields that already existed. None of it should be in there. This is not something we should be compromising on. There are enough invasions into our privacy as it is.

Doesn’t deserve death threats but he does deserve hate.

Slap a label on it that it’s not legal to use in those areas and move on while they fight it out legally. It’s distributed via p2p anyway so if people in those places still want to use it they can. Absolutely no reason to bend on this.

When I set something up I write all the steps I’m doing in obsidian as I do it. The pages get tagged so they’re searchable in the future.

Try doing upc codes and see how you feel about it.

Fuck excel. The default should be to leave whatever the fuck I paste in there alone. If I want you to reformat shit I’ll tell you to reformat it.

I used some chinese partition tool to rearrange my partitions years ago that did this. It was sketchy as fuck but it worked where I couldn’t find another tool that would do what I needed. Can’t remember exactly what the problem was but something to do with moving/extending the windows partition that the usual ones I knew of wouldn’t do.

My media server has more shit I want to watch on it than Netflix does, it’s not even close. Yeah it took some time to build my library but it’s paid off. Even starting out just queue up a bunch of shit ahead of time and it will be ready to go when you go to watch it. I personally watch shows through the week as they take longer to get through and are more adaptable to the amount of free time I have. Then I queue up any new movies for the weekend and new shows as I hear about them. It’s not difficult to stay ahead of the curve with some minimal planning. My backlog will take me months to get through. Also your media library will never remove shit before you’re done and you’re not limited to just what the streaming services you have are currently offering.

I don’t for media. I have 2 parity drives and that’s it. I’d like to do some kind of off site mirror but I haven’t had time to figure it out and buying enough storage to do that is expensive.

My actual data for like taxes and stuff is backed up to my server and backblaze.

How do you test this without risking your primary copy

I have a headless Debian server I’ve used for hosting media for like 10 years now with 0 issues that weren’t hardware failures. It’s solid as a rock. That said if you already have stuff up and running and you’re not having any problems there’s no reason to touch it.

Gonna be awful hard to organize resistance when the administration decides to cut everyone off from all the centralized means of doing so. The time to set up decentralized mesh networks is now.

I’m not even that broke and I don’t use them. Everyone I know who does is horrible with money.

Copilot is going to ruin Christmas.

I don’t know, I haven’t been banned on Lemmy for saying pedos deserve to die yet. I got that twice in one week on Reddit, and then again almost immediately when I got back.

It’s in the system tray. The same spot you’d look first in any OS.

in linux you have options provided you don’t jump feet first into an immutable distro intended mostly for gaming.

I’m curious what options you think OP is missing in Bazzite for resolving this issue.

Yeah, I get wifi devices over bluetooth wherever possible. Bluetooth is ass.

prices go down?

That’s not very capitalism.

No you still can log into banned accounts. Just can’t participate.
