Funny enough I never used Lemmy without a private instance, so I wouldn’t know!

Every retail worker’s nightmare

I think it attracts a certain type of person to Lemmy in the first place; someone who would have probably used the original Reddit back in the day

That’s awesome! I’m glad it mostly all works for you. I was looking for an OS for a TV-gaming setup sort of thing and it might be Bazzite now. I use Lutris/Wine for most of my games instead of Steam, I find it easier to troubleshoot. Also lol @ so many games with “2” in them haha.

Good catch! The POG is always in the comments.

Hmm, I’ve never tried Bazzite. Have you tried Ubuntu/can you offer a comparison to it? I play only on Ubuntu and games compatibility is like 80% hit and 20% miss.

Fucking Veggietales predicted this

The closest thing I can think of the archive @ Wayback machine. It’s more of a manual way of seeing snapshots rather than diffs.

The article is light on details about the exact allegation. I’d be very interested to hear exactly Facebook planned to store and use the data, what kind of data it was anyways, and how it could have improved their bottom line. If we can find how they are using this to make more money then maybe it’s possible to cut off the opportunity at the source.

Idea: install this on some old laptop/tablet or something. Open Doom. Enjoy a retro wallpaper as Doom plays itself.

Hmm gotcha. Yeah this stuff goes over my head haha but it sounds similar to a Bitcoin mixer/tumbler. I wonder if the anonymity scales with the number of users using the network. I also wonder if you happened to send a transaction at a “bad” time (no-one else is using the network) then it’s easier to trace.

Do you know how Monero’s advantage could potentially be lost?

I think it’s a combination of the security risk and a slippery-slope argument. The security risk is that, at the very least, it opens up an avenue for hackers to more easily extract personal information from your PC. The slippery-slope argument is that Microsoft can just choose to enable this feature, or parts of it, without your consent. It used to be that you could turn of all telemetry in Windows (XP/Vista I believe), but now you can’t do that for 10.

Motorcycles. No kids. Enough sleep. A good partner. Music. Videogames. Good friends (who know each other). Lots of projects.

I find happiness getting lost in projects

I relate to this on a visceral level

Yeah that sounds pretty bad. Is there a quick way to disable ssh keys to test?

As a Canadian, I approve of this

Yeah…
