I don't know... I get that rule 1 and 16 are just edgy humor, but I can't imagine what she's satirising in this message. What other crackers ask people to only call them 'Mother'?
From what I understand, isn't this site's Z-Library content taken from the torrent dumps when the site originally got taken off the clearweb? In that case, won't it be a bit out-of-date?
So, these statistics apparently come from StatCounter, a web analytics company. I know that this is probably the best way of collecting usage metrics for the entire Internet, but I think this is less efficient for counting Linux users - after all, I would say that the proportion of Linux users who also use content blockers is pretty high. Even if it weren't the case, most distributions ship with Firefox pre-installed, which automatically blocks trackers out-of-the-box.
Also, wouldn't this also count an embedded device with a WebView as a "Linux user"? For example, smart TVs have a web browser, and typically identify themselves with a "Generic Linux" user-agent.
I use this myself for when I want to be signed-in. However, it's not a very private alternative, since YouTube will still track you on the app even when signed out and with history disabled
Awesome! And it also looks like search functionality has just been restored, so it's business as usual for now. I hope that the other instances get patched soon, though - is there any way of knowing what version an instance is running?
You're right that Fairphone's supply chain is not fully sustainable. In fact, I remember reading an interview with the founder where he admitted that poor sustainability and labour practices are so entrenched in the industry that it was impossible to actually make a "fair" Fairphone. (Incidentally, this is why the company uses the word "fair*[er]*" to describe the phones.)
Yeah, I would definitely agree that a used phone is a much more environmentally-friendly choice than a brand-new one. The amount of customers who are going to ditch their 1 or 2 year old phone for this "sustainable" phone will unfortunately not be zero...
To be honest, I think 8 GB is a more realistic requirement for light tasks nowadays, but not because of Windows - even Windows 10 would struggle with Chrome, Word, Excel, etc on just 4 GB, and I can't imagine that W11 is any better. Increasing the requirements would ensure that OEMs won't put Windows 12 on shitbox PCs with 4 GB and call them usable, just because they meet the bare-minimum standards.
2-3 years is actually a reasonable time for Windows releases, going by historical dates. I think we're all used to the long gap between Windows 10 and Windows 11
New Windows release already? Looks like Microsoft has realised that its old model of selling major upgrades was more profitable than the Windows 10 strategy.
That happened to me too! I also had someone download an album, but just the text files - basically, a message from the site I had originally got it from, and a log from a CD ripping program.
