Not to mention VSCodium already exists.

Just found this article about it that seems to fundamentally misunderstand it in every single way. I didn’t know it was even possible to be this clueless. Either that, or it’s AI.

Thor from Pirate Software (a game studio) does this. He has his set up so that if he doesn’t log into a specific server for a year, the source code to his game will be automatically published.

You could do the same thing. Just grab a super cheap server that checks the last login date and sends out emails.

Far easier to do too. I did one of each last month and there’s no question that the Windows setup experience is terrible in comparison.

I reverberate.

Even if it’s a re-run, it’s a dick move to give away the ending to any movie while in line to see it.

I migrated from Plex to Jellyfin years ago and haven’t looked back. It might play better with AMD hardware but I can’t say for sure. All I can say is that I spun up a container and it Just Works™

You can get a Mini PC with a modern laptop chip inside it to get the power savings and save some space too. Not only that, but you get the advantage of a potentially more modern chip too. I tried my new setup (Ryzen 5 5560U) with 4K HDR decoding last night and it worked without a hitch.

Who would have thought that cancelling something cancels it? Incredible find, mate.

This happened to me not long ago when I found a monero miner running on my laptop. Being a highly technical person, I feel unbounded shame.

With the number of people concerned about privacy

That number appears to be very small, all things considered. Out of everyone I know, literally one person cares about privacy. My mother. She will even go as far as to only use her first initial online instead of her name if she can get away with it. However, she uses Chrome all the time because she doesn’t understand that your browser also tracks you.

I think that’s what it comes down to. A mixture of lack of public interest, and lack of public awareness about tracking/privacy in general. If people can’t immediately see how having their data harvested will inconvenience/hurt them, they simply don’t care.

Okay, but that doesn’t address any of the points I brought up.

You said to give Meta a chance. The rest of us are broadly gesturing at all the shit they’ve done in the past, and how we want as little to do with that as possible.

Innocent until proven otherwise.

Corporations like Meta have shown time and time again that they cannot be trusted to play nice with anyone else. Have we already forgotten about Cambridge Analytica or the plethora of other scandals they’ve been at the center of? The proof has been in plain view for a while now.
