When Trump says piracy, I understand he's referring to classic piracy (with little boats and all), and when he says IP Theft, I assume he's referring to the piracy that concerns us. Good luck adding a tax to my $0 rate.
Decentralized, yeah sure!
Sorry, I misunderstood then. I use Librewolf btw, great choice.
We vote with our browser. And you are voting Chromium. It's ok, but you could do something about it.
This is a rebranding of Google Play Movies, or TV or whatever they call it.

VPN must be a human right at this point
Sometimes you need an honest feedback, and your family should be the first one to hear. It doesn't mean they are right, but it may save you some time.
If I travel to Japan (just for fun, not for this) I am not allowed to buy the Switch 2? Or is there any regional restriction?
Not a good one, so no.
Why gently?
I am not great at the advice "paid thing". Can I interest you in a sarcastic comment torrent tracker?

Oh no, is the end of piracy!
Technically speaking, a gun is a machine for making holes. As you said, a tool.
Honestly, suing pirates is like kicking a tree to prove it’s still alive, it doesn't change the game. Piracy isn’t the villain here; it’s practically part of the success story.
I would be very interested to know how they plan to resolve these issues with "Ladybird." Using a new engine will likely clash with the FALSE "security measures" of many websites and harm the browsing experience. It’s often said that users should demand respect for web standards, but in the meantime, as usability declines, users will gradually drift away. Firefox learned this lesson the hard way.
I don’t think it’s bad advice for most people. Maybe it’s just bad advice for your treat model
First, use the first 10 bytes of the file as a sanity check. throw in two random bytes like 0x55AA so you know the file isn’t broken. add a loop counter to track how many times you’ve lived the same week (bonus points for crying when you hit loop 9999), toss in a basic checksum to make sure your data isn’t glitched.
Then dedicate like 800 bytes to a super compressed log. Each entry is 8 bytes: a code for what you tried (like action 23 = “mess with the sketchy microwave”), the day and time crammed into 2 bytes, a yes/no/weird result, and a tiny note like “key under rug” but in code. Only keep the last 100 entries so you don’t run out of space.
The leftover 200-ish bytes are for tracking. Use bits to mark places you’ve already checked (like “room D14 done”) and actions you’ve tried (so you stop repeating “throw spaghetti at the wall”).
Every reset, open the file, see your last loop’s fails (like “loop 420: died petting a possum”), Then try something new, focus on unmarked areas and untested actions this is because if you notice a pattern (like “tv static every tuesday”), write it as “tues=F9=glitchinmatrix” or whatever.
After 200 loops, maybe you’ll crack the code (literally) or realize the exit was behind the fridge the whole time.Oor you’ll just accept your fate and start a cult (the 1k chosen ones!) . Either way, you’re out.
tldr: use the 1kb to avoid repeating mistakes, track patterns, and maybe escape before you start talking to a lamp.
It’s a natural instinct to lower your defenses with someone who speaks like you. That doesn’t mean it’s the right thing to do.
Are you still talking about me? Oh man... so sad.
The important is to do it the first time. Then just upgrade the app.
Standard Notes is changing its license
Hello 👋, Just came across this project, and saw the app being advertised as open source, like on this page where it's advertised as "100% open source". Looking at the app repo though, the licensing...
Hello everyone,
I've been using Standard Notes on the recommendation of Privacy Guides since the beginning of this year, I believe, and it has truly been a fantastic experience. It serves my purpose perfectly, is truly cross-platform, open source, and lightweight. It was a real find, and I couldn't be happier to have it installed. However, it seems that they are planning to change the licensing to one that restricts companies from abusing their code (which makes sense), but I wanted to know if this goes against the guidelines in terms of considering it recommendable.
I don't really understand licenses, so correct me if I'm wrong, but with this change if the project becomes private, a fork couldn't be created for all users who want to continue having the software format but not the backend... Is that correct?
Thanks
Is there a Fritter alternative?
Is there any app like Fritter? I mean, I need Twitter for my job, but in a passive way. What is the best option without login in the official app or website (Linux/Android).
Thanks!
Tuxedo OS
What do you guys think about Tuxedo OS from a privacy point of view? Thanks
Extension Pack in VirtualBox, is there a privacy risk?
Hello, I try to keep my Debian laptop as private as possible, but for work, I need to use Windows software, so I run a VirtualBox with Windows 11. My PC runs smoothly without any issues, but I need to access my specific hardware USB ports, and it doesn't recognize them. I read that I need to install the Extension Pack, so I downloaded it, but before installing it, I get a warning message that seems to suggest I'm accepting some risk to my computer. I don't really understand this stuff, so I wanted to ask the following:
Is there any security or privacy risk associated with the VirtualBox Extension Pack?
Is there any other way to access my USB-C devices without installing it? (I've already tried selecting USB 2.0 and 3.0, but the list shows "no device available").
Thank you very much to whoever responds.
PS: Also I found this on the Internet: "The user agreement VirtualBox extension pack states of sharing a user’s data to the US govt. including the hardware information and so on. Doe
