Justice he dicides on and can get away with.

There are some FOSS SMS clients tho. I used to use Simple SMS, but there were no updates for 12 months.

Maybe try Deku SMS: https://github.com/deku-messaging/Deku-SMS-Android

It seems to have at least some traction for what it’s worth.

I just noticed how that Arch is in quotes and “64 bit” was added. Does anyone use 32 Bit Arch for gaming? Is it even possible to run Steam on that?

And why not go with:

Arch Linux (rolling-release) 64 bit

100% agree, anonymized data is pretty much irrelevant to the GDPR. An exception would be if it can be de-anonymized with reasonable means.

I’m gonna go with no, because of containerization and permission management. On your computer, any program can do pretty much anything, unless you explicitly take measures against this. On a smartphone, you get a lot of control over your apps. In newer Android versions you can even completely disable cameras and microphones (even if only in software).

I would use a throwaway account and avoid giving Google any personal data tho. Of course they could still figure stuff out, but it’s harder and unreliable, not to mention super-duper illegal (at least in the EU), so I kinda doubt they go the extra mile.

There is hard evidence these checks prevent crime (i.e. smuggling and human trafficking), as well as evasion of judicial measures. So, since these checks will not just go away in the foreseeable future, he needs to provide a better alternative.

Edit: I don’t really get Denmark and Benelux tho. I doubt there is that much going on via these borders, but maybe I’m mistaken? I can see smuggling over their ports could be a problem, but that could be resolved by tightening security there instead of at the borders.

Casual reminder that Politico is owned by Spring SE, which makes it inherently unreliable since it’s held and led by (very) few ultra rich people.

We have not failed to prevent climate change. We have failed to prevent some climate change. How much more we get depends directly on what we do about it now. And now the best you can do is keeping that in mind when going to vote and spending money.

Yeah, I posted this because the headline got me confused.

I knew 5 out of 6 of their neighbours, but I didn’t know about Burkina Faso, not even under their old name. I’m afraid to find out how many more African countries I’m missing.

For everyone who also had no idea this country exists:

Burkina Faso is a landlocked country in West Africa. It covers an area of 274,223 km2 (105,878 sq mi), bordered by Mali to the northwest, Niger to the northeast, Benin to the southeast, Togo and Ghana to the south, and Ivory Coast to the southwest. As of 2021, the country had an estimated population of 23,674,480. Previously called the Republic of Upper Volta (1958–1984), it was renamed Burkina Faso by President Thomas Sankara. Its citizens are known as Burkinabè, and its capital and largest city is Ouagadougou.

If you play DRMed AAA stuff, that’s still true unfornately (if you can’t do VM with PCIe passthrough).

Personally I just opt to not play these games. The market dicides in the end.

Yes, what I meant is actually a kind of pepper. Although I would like to point out that literally the only difference is that it’s stored elsewhere.

It does, I’ll give you that. However, I will hold the fact that their maximum is actually reasonable against that. The minimum of 8 is more concerning imo

I’m just gonna go ahead and say it: 16 Characters are sufficient and 20 pretty damn secure.

That is assuming they do stuff right and there are no vulnerabilities, which they won’t and there are. However they may manifest, they are a greater concern at 16+ characters, especially if they don’t offer 2FA.

The reason is that even if machines become powerful enough that 16 characters can be bruteforced, which they can’t atm, you can effectively defend everything against bruteforce attacks by other means. Including but not limited to limiting login attempts, salts and pepper, multiple encryption layers etc.

With just a salt pepper you can make a 16 char password effectively a 24 char password… Or a 2.000.000 char password. Assuming it is not stolen alongside that is.

Edit: Changed ‘salt’ to ‘pepper’.

They are misleading and intentionally so. Either ‘just’ as rage bait or as a genuine attempt at spreading misinformation.

There is a 4 billion budget for aid next year - which is of course excluding EU aid and aid financed via dividends of frozen russian assets.

Where is the media bias fact check bot when you actually need it 😔

It can toggle ANC on and off, not sure if it can also enable voice through. That is available by a single tap on your earbud(s) tho

You can use Sennheisers without an account - and I think even without the app altogether. Not exactly sure tho.

They have a feature where they toggle sound presets depending on your location. That’s the only thing that requires an account, as well as access to your location. It’s opt-in however (and pretty useless imo).

Ok, fair enough, but at that point you’re basically deploying your own password manager which most people would consider a little over the top :D

And besides that, it’s not like you COULDN’T write a fairly capable and cross-platform anti-cheat…
