you can place this in /etc/fstab to make it automatic. look for the line where sda9 is defined. don’t bother with lines that start with #. I think the 2nd to the last column configures this, but look it up in “man fstab” command and it will tell you what to write there

no idea why isn’t that the default on your system. is this the rootfs, or another partition?

who said they’ll take away social media. the popular addictive services will remain

the perfect showcase about the security guarantees of E2EE. It’s important, but it won’t save you if “your” phone is programmed to snitch on you. same thing applies to screen reader AIs, and whatever you grant accessibility permissions or the assistant app role.

fun fact: on most googled phones the google assistant app is by default, without approval, set as the assistant app, and it has access to screen contents. I don’t know if it has that access all the time, maybe only when you are baited to open it by long pressing the home button or trying to turn off your phone with the power button.

that won’t work anymore, because today not even just to youth, but everyone the only thing that matters is convenience. their friends are not on there? they are not interested! maybe they would try it for fun? too bad, their phone does not allow installing it

how the hell would Microsoft implement a ban on a Minecraft server that Microsoft doesn’t host?

if a minecraft server wants to enforce verification of the game license, the server needs to be in contact with the authentication servers of microsoft. the server operator can turn this off, but then moderation becomes much harder, as usernane based banning becomes useless, and the paywall from ban evasion disappears.

other than that, in recent years there’s something with chat message verification that I think involves sending some of the messages to microsoft? I don’t remember exactly

but also the minecraft client could have a built in blacklist of servers. I don’t know if it has but it’s not much work.
a ban from the authentication server is probably easier though.

plaintext is the unencrypted form of data. encryption produces ciphertext. encrypting the same data with the same key twice results in the same ciphertext, unless additional steps were taken to insert additional data that does not match (like a nonce) to the plaintext

the way it works is that the veracrypt container basically contains 2 encrypted partitions. if it can’t decrypt the first one with the password, it will try the second one, but always pretend to try both so that the time it takes to unlock it does not give it away. by writing to either, you risk overwriting data in the other one (except that you can input both the hidden and main partition passwords and it will make sure to keep the hidden partition unaffected), but otherwise both partitions are fully functional

or just the individual characteristics and flaws of the lens/sensor/postprocessing software, some of which can be unique per device, and potentially comparable to other photos made with it.

or any repair show that uses the brand specific diagnostic software, pirated or not

screen capture is an entirely different thing though, and that was not available without permissions for a very long time

note taking apps often dont sync and don’t keep the timestamp when you “sent” it. vikunja does not work offline. a selfmessaging chat app can keep the message until it can send it

They aren’t encrypted, hence why I never said they were.

you did, just with different words. without encryption and with centralized servers how would this claim of yours be the case?

If it’s a private group they don’t know what’s happening.

you know, trust and safety teams aren’t looking at the content with the apps when they look for harmful content. they have access to better moderation tools with access to the database, where the messages are readable to them because of the lack of end to end encryption.

the thread is visible here, just a single comment was deleted

what you speak of is certified android. but a vendor can sell android phones (not certified) without google services, and that is android.

which would be ridiculous because it is android just the same

“As the largest digital rights network in Europe, our position is firm: the use of spyware is inherently incompatible with fundamental rights, and therefore should be banned, as well as the market of private companies that are profiting from human rights violations.”

I hope these positions will also apply against chat control and any similar proposals

and SmartTubeNext and YouTube with Sponsorblock both give me about a minute of black screen

I just read somewhere that it’s because clients need to wait until the pre-roll ad ends. until that the servers will block requests to the actual video for your client

“privacy enthusiasts” not everybody can do that. also remember that privacy is a spectrum.

without a proxy google can still connect your watching habits to you by IP, and see how often you pause or rewind, but at least they can’t feed you with garbage you don’t need and can’t fingerprint your client and how you move your mouse.
