  • Am I wrong for blocking the Cloudflare domain because I assume they are gathering as much as google?

    Jump

  • well it's standard "hierarchy of norms" theory of the law, when regulations of different nature piling up...

    Also Patriot, FISA-A, and Cloud acts all pretend to be justified by "national security" which times and times again has been considered in the US be a higher imperative in the hierarchy of the norms (in many cases justifying to even bypass the constitution when it comes to spying on US citizens, etc.).

    Whichever way you look at it: the NSA and the CIA (and countless other agencies) who have been granted unlimited, unregulated, untraceable access to all data processed by any US company are not subjected to the EU GDPR.

  • they must first comply with the Patriot Act, the FISA amendment Act, and the Cloud Act, because they are in the same jurisdiction as them... then, maybe the EU GDPR. in that order. always.

  • OpenMW 0.51.0 is now in RC-phase!

    Jump

  • looks like a cool project and all, but nowhere on the website on first inspection, only on the github could i find the following: "OpenMW is an open-source open-world RPG game engine that supports playing Morrowind."...

    maybe worth mentioning on top of the website and of every post for those who are not already familiar with the project?

    (just 0.000002 cents...)

  • which Linux Phone Distro should I use?

    Jump

  • my general answer to this would be PostmarketOS, but it's just personal bias ;)

  • long story short: don't google

  • Be aware that ALL samsung phones can't be degoogled anymore. Do not ever buy samsung again if you hope to make calls.

  • It's not as much about "go bad" as to create the perfect conditions for the good bacteria to develop... and those we like thrive in O2-free environment ("anaerobic")... that's why all sorts of pickle veggies, sauerkraut etc... are usually sitting under the liquid, held together by weights!

    Keep us informed.

  • have you done them this way before? are you sure you can succeed without using weights to maintain them under the liquid? that's how i always learned you succeed at lactofermentation, by ensuring it it stays anaerobic...

    good luck!

  • North Korean infiltrator caught working in Amazon IT department thanks to lag — 110ms keystroke input raises red flags over true location

    Jump

  • Sounds much better than "Amazon surveils keystrokes of its IT workers"!

  • With all those American attacks on European unity and identity, it's about time to ditch all those crappy clothes with American flags on it, and start wearing EUROPEAN flags. #EuropeTogether🇪🇺💪

    Jump

  • F*ck flags

  • Why Signal over Jabber/XMPP?

    Jump

  • speaking of "normies" is elitist, because the term is used usually people privileged/experienced with knowledge about technology to describe people who don't have this privilege/experience. It is implying that there would be a class of (sub-)humans who are not capable of taking the same path as the person who employs this term. I stand by the term "elitist". In a world of diverse people, life-paths and needs, in my own experience everybody is capable of understanding the political reasons to use a piece of software over another one (because one company sucks, because their model of centralization is detrimental to freedom, because they got shady funding, because they pretend to be something else but bar free software authors to modify their software, because they're from the USA, etc.). Everyone has their own way of understanding these things. Everyone has some arguments that will resonate better than others. Pretty much the same way you probably decided to not install Facebook messenger. Well the good news is: everybody is capable of understanding these things. It may take time and effort, it may make elitist people realize it is not as easy as they first thought it would be, and require to fail and try again. It requires efforts and a humble approach as to listen to these people and take them where they are and walk a bit along the way with them.

    My personal experience is that most people are capable of understanding such things. It may take time, but everyone is capable.

    I also saw tons of elitist tech-enthusiasts and other tech-savvies "bros" not even addressing who they call "normies" out of pure lazyness, to avoid to speak outside of their own comfort zone and question their own status, and to avoid sharing their elitist knowledge.

    -> "'normies' won't do that" = "i am too lazy to engage meaningfully with people who do not know the same things as i know."

    That's a major part of the problem. Elitist feedback loop...

  • Why Signal over Jabber/XMPP?

    Jump

  • Many people will tell you you have to sacrifice your principles because interface, because "normies" (which is an elitist way of telling you that non-elitist people are idiots....), etc. I say: stick to your dreams!

  • I just found out my fiancee wants to switch to linux, lets start a distro war, what should be her first? + other questions

    Jump

  • Well quite obvious: as the name "Debian" was coined to celebrate the union between Debra and Ian, makes it a de facto choice! ;)

  • Good actually user friendly foss chat app?

    Jump

  • There’s no law in existence that requires them to store metadata or hand anything over to the feds. They have been subpoenaed several times and it always comes out the same: the only data they have is what I detailed above. Even if they DO have it (which they don’t) they don’t provide it, which is effectively the same thing.

    It is just enough that this metadata be handled within the computing environment of Amazon. Their refusal for anyone use their own server and federate with "their" (as in captive) users also prevents anyone for using it in any other way...

    If you dont see that Signal requires that its users use a strong-selector phone# in order to use the service, there is nothing i can do for you.

  • Good actually user friendly foss chat app?

    Jump

  • Evidence is: Signal still requires a phone# that is your unique identifier. Thus when connecting two parties, it is bound to have identifying metadata about them. (and that Signal still operates within AWS cloud, and is bound by US law: FISA, Patriot Act, etc.) How much more than this do you need?
