Wouldn’t say “dead” just put on the back burner. They’ll get their way eventually just like they did with net neutrality. (Responding to the article headline not you exactly)

Google is pushing for websites to implement this software that talks to your TPM (trusted platform) chip on your computer and has it attest to the state of your web stack. Then, the website gets to decide if that’s okay and can deny you access if there’s any “funny business” such as ad blockers installed, or you’re using a browser they don’t like, or maybe even running an os they don’t like. We’ll almost certainly find ways around it for a while, but it’s going to get better (for them, worse for you)
I think this is on their eventual roadmap, somewhere just after not allowing anyone to log in without a verified WEI check for “”““security””“”
Then you can stop all the YouTube rehosting sites like piped by baking in little 1 pixel changes that uniquely identify the account that ripped the video. Netflix and others will do this as well too try to stop piracy.
They’re going to go scorched earth on this, I just know it. The Internet will become as bad as cable was and this is the turning point.
Just download it and use the loop function on your media player program of choice?
Atlas is my favorite version. Even LTT did a video about it. You just install a normal Windows 10 or 11 iso then run the atlas installer and it does a pretty good job making Windows minimal bullshit by replacing edge with Firefox, disabling countless anti features, and installing openshell.
If it’s just for that one purpose have you considered running windows in a VM and passing though that one usb device? Gnome boxes makes that pretty easy.
The point is that the western sequence of events is incorrect on the face of it.
No anti-“woke” voices are even remotely approaching getting “censored” or “silenced”. If they are then why do I have to hear about them every fucking day?
On the contrary, if you want to hear from a good portion of the population about issues that affect them you need some aggressively anti-racist anti-sexist anti-queerphobic etc spaces or you won’t likely get the chance. Isn’t hearing what real marginalized people have to say about their own experiences a million times more important than some vague worry about crypto-fash#56637 getting to say their piece which has already been heard and generally decided to be socially harmful and, importantly, silencing to the people their racist, ___-phobic etc speech implies violence to? A chilling effect as you enthusiasts call it.
Isn’t freedom of speech more about an individual having the right to hear from many viewpoints, than it is about an individual having the right to say anything and everything, anywhere, any time, they so desire?
I think they were for a number of reasons tactically “not fixing” this “bug” up to this point.
Microsoft has always been something of a free nagware business model, like WinRAR.
Me too 👀
Mullvad is only $5 a month just sayin’
I’ve noticed all my British shows have gone missing over the last couple years from the usual torrent sites. I’m kind of surprised because (I’m going to get my head bitten off for this take) the BBC is making better content than anything America has put out in the last few years.
Still on prime because I save more than I spend using it.
32GB of storage? Could I put my audiobooks on there and stream them directly to some headphones? Cause that would be sick.
I’m going to start with a couple projects that don’t already exist.
Something like the AUR but for non executable content like movies or books. I’m imagining something like;
(program name) -m (medium, eg. Book, magazine, article (or “print” for any text document) Show, Movie (or video for any video document) and so on) (search term)
A project that allows a full installed-in-place Linux installation with grub and all, no USB drive required. If that’s a two stage thing where it partitions a section of the drive then installs an installer there, then reboots to that installer, or some other thing doesn’t matter. No, not whatever Ubuntu used to do, I mean a proper installation.
A program that tricks lan games into playing in side by side couch coop. I’ve figured out a method for doing this using multiseat on swayWM but it’s pretty complicated and touchy.
An open source car computer software. Not for the infotainment.
An open source printer that works.
A liquid democracy voting system
Things that actually exist:
Minetest, specifically creating tools to help existing Minecraft mods be ported over.
GIMP
IPFS, try to get it in use in more places by default (AUR seems promising?)
Wine
Re: haiku what do you find so promising about it? I’ve played around with it. I imagine it isn’t just the desktop experience?

Laws that aren’t intended to be actually enforced, but serve as cover for a search or whatever other cop activity. Seat belt, drug, and helmet laws for example. I don’t think it’s even about tickets it’s just reason to pull you over and brow beat you for a while.
You’re telling me the state that doesn’t give a fuck if I die from gesticulates generally around suddenly cares whether I make a personal decision about my own safety?
This is coming from someone who wears his seat belt 100% of the time and gets car sick if I don’t, who has been ticketed for not wearing one even though I was.
What ads? That’s just a friendly and helpful product reminder
This “you can’t Forward your own ports” shit needs to be made illegal. It’s cutting off your ability to run your own service and making everyone a passive consumer on the Internet if you aren’t one of the big tech companies.
Is it a linux box, and if so would you be able to ssh into this box? You could rename them that way right?
