Yeah, if something like Obtanium needs to run on my desktop instead of my phone and I have to plug it in every once in a while, that’s not the end of the world.

They’re already developing the apps for the 1% of us not just using proprietary apps from the play store. I don’t think this just kills open source app development.

It’s not completely meaningless because if it’s truly the only option I’m going to be using it until I eventually replace my current phone with one with an unlocked bootloader.

It was this, and they could have explained what it was doing in better detail, but it probably would have made those people even less likely to read it.

Those conversations were shared by the users and they checked a box saying to make it discoverable by web searches. I wouldn’t call that “leaked”, and openAI immediately removed the feature after people obviously couldn’t be trusted to use it responsibly, so that kind of seems like privacy is a concern for them.

You think all countries are actively doing a genocide?

They don’t even have to be visible to the user and bitwarden will fill them in as soon as the page loads.

I guess you didn’t read most of the comment.

Right, “maliciously sneak”, as in they’ve either gained access to make changes to the site ditectly, or they’ve found a way to inject their scripts to steal creds.

Someone manages to maliciously sneak username and password fields onto a site that store what is entered as soon as it’s typed. They don’t even have to be visible to the user and bitwarden will fill them in as soon as the page loads.

This is unhinged levels of virtue signalling. Just downvote or say you think the joke is distasteful.

He’s always been a deceitful and manipulative narcissist, even before being an industry plant anti-consumer shill.

Here’s a good one, the time he manipulated someone a decade younger than him for money and sex via furry roleplay while hiding the fact he was married: https://piratesoftware.sucks/

I’m not sure why you added a question mark at the end of your statement.

I was questioning whether or not you would see that as a benefit. Clearly you don’t.

Are you also against libraries letting people borrow books since those are also lost sales for the authors, or are you just a luddite?

Because books are used to train both commercial and open source language models?

Even being too lazy to open the weather app, there are so many better and free ways of receiving a message on your phone. This is profoundly stupid.

Though they seem secure behind a paywall, swiping content creators’ explicit photos and videos from subscription-based platforms such as OnlyFans, Patreon, and Fansly is relatively easy. People can download third-party apps for the task, and if those don’t work, a few basic coding tutorials can teach them how to surpass anti-theft technology. These images and videos then proliferate across the internet, on niche forums, Reddit threads, Discord servers, and Telegram groups with tens of thousands of participants. Today, a growing legal consensus considers this activity to be sexual abuse.

I think you deliberately skipped this part.

Damn, I can’t believe I accidentally sexually abused Kate Winslet by pirating Titanic.

I think the risk of losing data naturally leads to people seeking out the most robust storage solution possible when 90% of those people would probably be better off with something simpler with less that can go wrong.

I can’t answer each bullet (and a couple are dependant on other things like drive speed, activity, and network throughput) but I’ve been using shucked external HDDs for over a decade and would recommend it. I used to use OpenMediaVault running in a VM on Proxmox and briefly tried TrueNAS, but I’ve since migrated all of my VMs to LXCs, so now I just have the drives mounted on the Proxmox host directly combined with mergerfs (not managed by Proxmox’s storage pools) and I pass it through to a Turnkey Linux file server LXC via bind mounts to share over SMB/NFS. Less overhead and LXCs can share CPU/memory dynamically while VMs can’t.

You should be able to replace that /mnt/external directory with no issues as long as the structure is the same within.

If Netscape had a large paid install base and still failed because a free browser became ubiquitous, what makes you think doing that now when the free browsers are already ubiquitous would work? Especially when it also has to compete with what is essentially already what you’re describing, Librewolf (or just Firefox + Arkenfox).

That’s any recompilation, the game has to be decompiled manually first.
