lol, what did they do?

wait, are they really using it?

IT basically constructs several virus exe files during runtime FROM THE BYTECODE SECTION !!

what kind of viruses? what do they do? did you notice anything objectively bad that they do? or something fishy other than creating executables?

These exe files are what does the activation. It also installs backdoors, and potential malware !!

could you provide a little more details on what kind of backdoors does it install? and what malware?

this could be a big deal, but you didn’t provide anything that could be verified.

another person here also highlighted that mullvad can already do btc + monero + traditional money, so I guess maybe it could just work that way.

interesting though, that mullvad had that for many years now, didn’t it? and this podcast is not old. why did Andy say what he said?

tbh I didn’t read the petition page until now because I didn’t expect an official source, but this is going to be interesting

I don’t think it’s that easy. the CEO Andy Yen talked about this briefly in this podcast, it boils down to financial auditors not liking cryptocurrencies. he said even just by accepting bitcoin most of the auditors won’t agree to audit their company, all the while they are legally required to have regular audits

I think I know what you are talking about, I have trays like that and they came back in the days with that old freezer that still works good enough. that plastic is really more sturdy than anything today.

Unfortunately they started cracking so we were looking for new ones, but all of them are made of some kinf of cheap plastic or silicon, which I don’t want to use, because just by looking at them I feel they probably “leak” lots of microplastic over time. also the cube holes are not trapezoid so its often hard to get out the cubes without damaging the tray, and adding even more microplastic to my drink

unexpected lesson, but that umask in a subshell is very clever!

their point is not the custom domain usage, who cares about that, for that you need a domain to begin with and its not that common to have a personal one. but that you can’t set up automatic forwarding without continuously paying. that makes switching considerably harder for the everyday people.

using? having! better uninstall them all, confine them into firefox if you still need them.

don’t forget to get rid of the 3 iconless meta apps either that are installed to lots of phones from the factory:

• Meta App Installer
• Meta App Manager
• Meta Services

you can only see these in the settings, installed apps list, after finding the hidden option to also show system apps.
App Manager or similar tools will also show them.

I mean with something easier than OBS, but which works on KDE or any other desktop. something like OnTopReplica on windows

Probably. I think they may fine homeserver operators in the EU, maybe even raid their homes or jail them. But to me its unclear whether hosting it, or also using it will be a criminal offence.

Hopefully neither, and we can jail the real terrorists, those who want to get this implemented.

isn’t it possible with some external utility? OBS can capture individual windows with pipewire, and it can render that to a new window, so it must be possible with something easier too

I have heard less about phone chargers failing catastrophically. They also handle much less power (except the fancy ones), and I haven’t seen a hot phone charger adapter yet, but plenty laptop chargers of which some were just very warm, and some so hot just on its outsides that it was uncomfortable to hold it in hand.

this is why I’m more worried about laptop chargers

I would assume that landfill laptop manufacturers are trying to minimize costs even harder on the charger.

but what timeframe do you mean with “anymore”? laptops made in this decade, or the last 10 years, or something else? there’s plenty of old laptops that fitinto OPs category.

I think 5W probably can’t be achieved, maybe with chromebook-like hardware, but I guess GPIO could be solved with a USB accessory

in my opinion the bigger problem is the fire hazard of an unsupervised charger. I have seen enough that runs super hot, and even if it doesn’t, I just can’t trust them.

but what will fix the fire hazard of the charger? how will you be able to keep it plugged in 24/7?

fdisk cannot convert the partition structure, but gdisk can, though you better have a full backup bedore attempting to do it

MBR can be converted to GPT. gdisk can do it, in fact if you run it for an MBR structured disk it will automatically do the conversion in memory, and you can check the results before writing it out. windows also has a tool for that.

It’s probably the MIT licensed rust reimplementation of coreutils and sudo-rs
