Wait till you accidentally overwrite the system python.

This is true on one hand, but on the other hand, the businesses still using Ubuntu 10.04 with its original kernel would like a word.

Duh fuq.

I wonder how many people would give their social that easily.

Have you heard of adblocking?

Honestly good on them for keeping the spirit alive for just about everyone who isn’t a direct competitor of theirs.

Let them make some money to continue to fund it. They even invalidated all sponsorships because of the license change.

Unless you personally were willing to fund whatever they make on their integration, then this is an ok play in my book.

I’ve always wanted to meet that 1 out of the 10 who don’t. Probably would be interesting to have a beer with.

Corporate executives love using the word pause to allow the possibility for a resume. It also makes it not a failure since it never finishes negatively: it is paused.

It’s word gymnastics.

I still hope as part of the antitrust ruling, they rip chrome from Google and undo this crap.

I’ve had good luck with uBlock Lite.

(Yes I could swap browsers but nah).

And if self hosting bitwarden seems tough, look at vaultwarden instead. It’s a one-container all in one bitwarden-compatible container.

There’s another free video editor called shotcut. Give it a try, works great.

I might be misunderstanding the licenses so correct me if wrong.

Can companies use GPL code internally without release as long as the thing written with it doesn’t get directly released to the public?

… or does GPL pollute everything even if used internally for commercial purposes?

Thankfully we can federate bot posts to make that easier :P

All local. Nothing sent. You can choose to not believe it, but it’s deceptive to imply they don’t say it’s local.

If you don’t believe them it’s one thing but they said what they said.

Lots of comments in here saying this sends stuff to Microsoft and yet that isn’t true. It’s an offline local feature.

I personally look forward to giving it a try.

What is the data used to freeze your credit? Why couldn’t a bad actor with your SSN unfreeze it?

Edit: I just froze with the big 3 credit agencies. It took name, address, phone number, email, SSN, birthday.

So all the stuff that leaks. Why do people think this provides security if a bad actor has the same data to unfreeze?

I always worry the the backup USB drive would be dead.

I guess I’m one minority but kind of like an ability to fetch the key from the web. Doing that securely of course can be tough.

Iiuc to exploit you already need kernel level access. I’d figure if something malicious made it that far, you’re already screwed.

Yep. Someone thinks the Google name has some crazy value.

Probably bureaucracy. Also an inability to pivot even when things make no sense. Everything is a giant freight train that has very little ability to change direction or stop.

Oh and of course a healthy taste of not being transparent or honest.

+1. Lots of people are also likely to not have any idea about the situation and just think their PC crashes or acts up more. More of these issues can pop up over time.

A recall forces them to notify customers of the issue so the customer can act on it.
