that infamous Ctrl+Alt+Del strip was drawn up for a reason

It is estimated that as many as 26% of all pregnancies end in miscarriage and up to 10% of clinically recognized pregnancies.

Thorium Reader is what I used, both on Windows and Linux

ah i have had that happen before lol. it does copy spaces but it doesn’t overwrite your main clipboard so i don’t have qualms about it. every app you’d expect to support middle-mouse drag except notepad/gedit/kwrite/etc supports it instead of pasting unless you use chromium without the relevant extension or remain static over a textbox.

interesting; how does one copy from an empty field by accidnet? /geniunely curious and oblivious

but it’s quite intuitive to realize what it does

It’s not just about digital privacy. It never talks about data privacy. It’s about consumer protection and social media’s nature being harmful. The only European law violations mentioned are anti-scamming + “𝕏 refuses to make its public data available to researchers”. It’s also explicitly in favor of KOSA, which lets the FTC ban anything it wants from children’s eyes online. It’s quite implied that the article supports banning social media for youth.

Is comparing social media to a dangerous drug over the top? Not according to the U.S. Surgeon General’s office, which in 2023 released an advisory titled “Social Media and Youth Mental Health” (download it now before RFK Jr. suppresses it!), which summarized extensive evidence of mental health damage to children and adolescents who consume excessive amounts of social media.

Okay, that comparison’s still wayyyy over-the-top.

fwiw audacity pulled out the telemetry the same week they were planning to add it unless you mean error reporting and update checking

deleted by creator

they were purchased by musescore in april 2021

a few weeks later, they announced that they would introduce Google Analytics and Yandex-based “telemetry”. After strong criticism by the community, Muse Group backtracked, emphasized their commitment to the GPL license, dropped their plans to include Google/Yandex tracking, and instead opted for a self-hosted solution for bug reports and update checks. Both can be disabled, and some distributions disable them by default.

in july they proposed and then backtracked on a baffling new privacy policy and said they had really overzealous lawyers that they somehow mistrusted lawyers doing so “out of an abundance of caution” so i’m still giving them one final chance here since that issue was resolved rather quickly (within two weeks, which is why i’m not absolving them and giving them a chance, but it’s been uneventful since 2021 so i think that strike’s gonna expire in a year, meaning the new year)

audacity has since gained a ton of productivity improvements, outlined in the video https://youtu.be/QYM3TWf_G38 that does have a conflict of interest

tl;dr: i still support audacity

You are not insulated from the effects just because you don’t use it. If you use the internet, chances are you’ve read bot output.

i do use arch

is April 2024 software that old?

replacement of core system utilities that aren’t ready for prime time

Could we talk about Unity? I’d wager that these bugs wouldn’t have been found by 2027 if Ubuntu hadn’t adopted sudo-rs. And I’d say “look at where Unity is right now” if they hadn’t switched to GNOME Shell.

there’s regular and then there’s LTS releases for a reason

One of the patches is to prevent the sudo password from being leaked in case of a timeout or sudo being killed. Another patch is to use enum for the feedback parameter. Another patch to ensure feedback is always erased before exiting the read unbuffered code. Another change is also made to not treat backspace as a password character when the password is empty.

i meant that the terminator freeze-frame mentioned is meant to depict a temperature way past boiling lol. carbon erupts into flame around 300°C iirc
