This is the biggest bait ever hahaha.

Android below red hat in corporate/authoritarian and equal to Ubuntu 😂 the OS that is trying to take away installing apps not from them and trying to fully track app developers while not giving a damn about malware that effects the user because it doesn’t effect their bottom line?

SUSE released a set of completely open source sans serif font for targeted at os-level fonts. It is a pretty good font and I started using it on many of my systems.

I mean, that won’t really work. It dampens the signal, not eliminates it, and in order to block communications, you need a net width small enough to block 1/4 wavelength which is 5cm/4, so <1 cm holes with a material thick enough for the damping.

That would be a net that weighs like 20kg lol and it would essentially be a solid cage at that point

Not to mention that it would have to fully encompass them.

Better to just use a signal jammer like they do for drones.

Palantir

They have unique digital fingerprints for everyone already pretty much, but they are not linked to official government IDs so there is still uncertainty I think over identification.

This makes everyone’s digital fingerprint linked on a government ID. Voila, now every person in America is known by Palantir and the government at all times (more or less). Great for genocide and targeting your political opponents and voters to set up sham elections.

It also tries to stop poors who don’t have drivers licenses in America from organizing as they can’t verify.

Now with Flock surveiling most of the US: Jaywalking or littering and a Democrat or worse, leftist? You are a criminal and intelligible to vote. Incoming trump 75+% win for an illegal 3rd term or Vance.

Thiel famously said “what if there was a way, through technology, to achieve your political goals without having to beg and plead to convince people who will never agree with you anyway”

Convenient that Israel has bought up a huge portion of VPNs just recently and has one of the largest spying and influence networks in the world.

Yeah, I am no fan of proton and they have lied before (no log VPN logs magically finding logs for authorities and then later removing the no-log claim).

But this is literally just proton being legally compelled to hand over data the user willingly gave (not being harvested or de-encrypted). A nothing story.

Sadly it won’t work on fairphone 6 because it only has USB 2.0 and there isn’t enough bandwidth.

I am confused.

In developer options in basic android you can simply enable the feature right?

My old Sony xperia 5 ii can do that and it definitely isn’t a Sony feature…

To be fair, the vast vast majority of families would throw a fit (or just go back to Netflix/Spotify) if they have to put on wireguard to access jellyfin or a navidrome server for streaming while they are out and about.

We on Lemmy tend to extensively overestimate tech literacy.

Android runs on the Linux kernel

MacOS runs on the UNIX kernel

I am not sure what that had to do with anything. It is not Microsoft, but if Palantir released a Linux distro, it would sure as shit have mass surveillance in it.

I am guessing the commenter doesn’t trust the GrapheneOS guy or something.

I did IT for my company on the side of my job for a year or two.

Prolific problem where windows would disable the microphone but every single “windows tool” said it was working perfectly fine except teams would say it was not available.

The only possible fix that someone on the internet found was to download an old sketchy file from a 3rd party source for an archived version of their “pre-help-assistant AI slop” audio troubleshooter, and run that and it would immediately say “oh, it is disabled, let me re-enable it for you”

Even though every tool, setting, and even registry said it was enabled.

Microsoft has the worst audio.

It also has the bonus that is one file has an issue, it doesn’t lock up and crash every single other open document in different instances across excel, word, powerpoint, everything lol

Centralized platforms for multiple uses and a huge tool ecosystem. That is it. It is simply much much much easier to set up and get a consistent experience.

Embedded coding (as an example) has an extremely scattered ecosystem of vendor-run IDE forks which are usually a pretty bad experience.

Their commandline documentation is often complete trash so instead of fixing that, they just make a simple plugin for vscode and they have a cross-compatible IDE that already works with all of their customers’ favorite plugins with very little work.

Also, code-server. There is no other IDE that has an experience like that as far as I know.

Trauma bonding + a bit of Stockholm syndrome and you have made perfect little upper middle class secret keepers under authority that will be perfect for perpetuating systems of financial fraud, corruption, child trafficking, and apparently CSA rings.

I live in Belgium and the law is there, but it seems pretty much ignored. At the time there were some games that were changed (battlefront II 2, overwatch, FIFA, etc…) But it seems like everything after just ignores the law. CS2 still had lootboxes, genshin impact, rocket league, apex legends, league, etc…

Don’t the panama papers detail a lot of this and a financial trail of how they collaborate with one another?

It seems like the panama papers had been collectively forgotten 2 years later, but they give blatant evidence of the secret elite money laundering and invisible payment network of collaboration IIRC.

As far as Nazi ideology, fascism always goes hand in hand with corporatism, so it makes sense.

Lol nope, i don’t use bluesky. I agree that corporate manipulative media can go fuck themselves.

I was just correcting your implication for other viewers that the fediverse is any different as far as echo chambers. It is just not a corporate controlled echo chamber.

I mean, every community is an echo chamber, that is what online communities do and have done since the beginning of the internet. Hell, in-person meeting groups are echo chambers more often than not. If you go to an open source convention, the people there will probably echo your opinions on the topic.

Lemmy is definitely an echo chamber in many different communities, I would venture to say most. If someone thinks left communities aren’t as much of an echo chamber as liberal or conservative, then they either haven’t spent enough time there or are lying to themselves just like the people that say “propaganda won’t work on me”

People gravitate towards people with the same views who confirm their worldview. Even if you discuss topics and have different views, you are still in a group with like 90% the same views. That is just how humans are unless one makes a conscious effort to go into hugely different groups like specific debate groups or something.

I used this back in the day after i left university with free MATLAB.

Very functional, but struggled (8 years ago was the last I tried) with large datasets, especially variable exploring. It also was missing signal processing and filtering libraries back then.

I had since switched to python with numpy, Pandas, scipy, and matplotlib and it is phenomenal.

I would try it out because it has probably improved a ton, but Python is now available in excel (and it already was in libreoffice) for sharing scripts with people without python at work, so I don’t know if it is worth it lol.

Duh, stream a b&w tty terminal in all of its glory! What is ssh?
