I’ll be taking that, thank you ƪ(˘⌣˘)ʃ\ yoink

I like it. Well done! Didn’t even know proton has that many things.

Apparently Anish posted that on his instagram! Mentioned on his wiki page under “vantablack controversy”: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anish_Kapoor

That’s useful, thanks for the recommendation! I’ll have to check this out. Especially nice for those who can’t afford new PC’s atm.

Nice writeup of the process!

Don’t quote me on this, but IIRC the problem is not that it’s super complex to set up a petition, but having one small mistake or vague definition will cause the petition to fail in the case of “difficult” topics. It takes a lot of work and time to get the petition required amount of signatures and then it can be dismissed within 10 minutes during a debate or preprocess, without the possibility of filling in info or countering debate points.

Thanks for the links. I recall reading that installing windows 11 with bypasses might break after some future update? I just didn’t want to offer a solution that might cause issues as well.

For some linux was a good option, but for some I said you can either get a new computer or pay for the LTSC. Thankfully I was able to find some affordable win11 compatible laptops for their usecases.

I have been called by friends, family friends, and their friends to help with this and so many have hardware that is not supported, and some are not able to afford a new PC right now. That’s my limited and personal experience about this.

I have reservations about installing Linux Mint/other for these people because I don’t have time to help right now and you do need sometimes help if you are slightly tech aware but not enough to be able to troubleshoot yourself or search for right info. For folks who barely touch any settings and just use it for docs + web it’s easy, but for others not always.

Microsoft is such an ass for doing this.

That is so relieving to hear, awesome!

The article doesn’t get too specific, but… Wonder how they will deal with malicious actors and tricks like the whole issue in the research world where research papers were found to contain “hidden” text written in white font on white background for peer reviewers who used LLMs to take care of the task.

I have lost all hope in our future.

From the article:

As Voge from the Internet Society explains, Germany is key because there’s a new government in charge. The previous government was indeed very pro-encryption – seeking to make encryption a legal right at home, while strongly opposing mandatory scanning in the block. Yet, the new administration “is giving very mixed messages and no one can definitively say what’s going to happen on Friday,” Voge added.

I really like the idea of encryption as a legal right.

On top of all of this, these fucks don’t seem to be worried about their own encryption outside of office / position.

Fucking idiots. Has anyone told them that them using any of their free-time devices would be suspectible to any exploit that this introduces too (and it will)? Oh, got a new iPad for home? Guess what, you are important enough that a zero-day exploit was worth it to be used on you. Would they get off their career-high for one moment and think…

Hey I am in no way an expert and can’t test it right now, but on their github they say "Light-weight system monitor for X, Wayland, and other things, too ". Does it not work on wayland?

edit: answered to the wrong reply, sorry. But: me too, to both of those!

Absolutely do not checkout “conky” and under no circumstances search for “conky themes” in image search. A program for the utterly deranged

Shit, I’ve been scrubbing the bathroom for 10hours, can’t close Vim

I know it’s a classic but confused how I’m supposed to use Vim to send an email

Already got my Vim, any tips?

I really liked the editing. The video has a good topic and it’s well presented but damn that’s some smooth editing.

Thank you for setting this up! :)
