Encephalotrocity

Techies in Europe – who obviously have a vested interest in unsettling Microsoft stronghold on the market as AWS, Microsoft, and Google have upwards of a 70 percent share of the public cloud sector in the region – previously highlighted the potential dangers of US legislation.

I’ve mentioned this before as a criticism for Canadian boycotts of the US. Every large Canadian website, even Government and News use US cloud services. Every. One.

Frank Karlitschek, CEO of Nextcloud, told us in March, “The Cloud Act grants US authorities access to cloud data hosted by US companies. It does not matter if that data is located in the US, Europe, or anywhere else.”

How was this allowed to happen? The minute that law was passed all sites that use them should have discontinued their contracts. JFC.

Yandex LLC is a Russian technology company that

I don’t use HA so this is confusing me. If the software works for your home setup, why update at all ever? What do you as a user get other than the opportunity to see new ads on the thermostat screen or whatever?

They also suggest organizations deploy additional security layers beyond Windows Defender, particularly solutions that can monitor behavior at the kernel level.

Anything like this for the typical home user?

Inc write-up for telling them to follow the instructions in the error message.

The radioactive nickel decays into stable copper and has a half life of 100 years. Not really ‘waste’

Also, I will not be surprised if they audaciously disable Win 10 Home edition for security purposes once end of life is reached.

Wow, who could have predicted this enshittification coming?

Don’t combine. Just use tor or a VPN.

Why have we made robots whose only job is to dilute reality?

Repeating for emphasis. I’d like to know the answer too.

I’m annoyed that the reports seem to be written and redacted to prevent any hint of the companies involved.

Finally, a programmer joke I get!

The harder MS tries to force Win11 on me the clearer it becomes how bad it is.

I will move to another office suit,install, and learn a completely new OS like Linux after 40 years of Windows before I ever install their unnecessary and untrustworthy data-miner.

Win10 was bad but most of it could be removed/worked around. This time it’s clearly war against typical users so F it I’m out.

How many of this comment do I need to respond to?

As many as it takes to get you to understand censorship is a worse means. UM can ‘evade’ all he wants but he can’t take away your unsubscribe and block buttons. Did you know they aren’t single use? Amazing!

Nah, this whole trend to censor anything and everything that isn’t exactly what you want to see is worse for the community.

I say leave him alone. I don’t have him blocked. I don’t ever see his content unless I actually do search to see what he’s been up to (spoiler: he was a far right nutbag all along the end). Even IF he is spamming articles, that behaviour can be modded by communities he isn’t modding for, and those he is modding for can be blocked. Hell if he pisses you off specifically you can block him yourself already! This isn’t a community needs to step in issue.

No, it doesn’t.

It’s definitely a weakness. There is an entire spectrum of personal beliefs, but wherever you are, if yours don’t align with the mods you get censored. Reality is every new users first week is finding out where they ‘belong’ and this both discourages new users, and creates detrimental echo chambers.

I don’t have a reddit account so I can’t verify, but IIRC it doesn’t ignore single return commands, and for certain Discord pushes the message immediately on hitting enter. This is closer to what most modern interfaces use, and what anyone using SMS is used to. Shift+enter allows the user to force a new line and 2x gives the paragraph break.

I’m not saying markdown isn’t a thing, but it isn’t used nearly as often (edit: as in Lemmy’s particular implementation) as being described and setting up Lemmy’s interface to require it feels clunky. My specific issue is the handling of 1 enter being ignored. Everything else makes sense because I too use markdown manually quite often.

While I am not old enough to have experience with typing in the 70s, in my decades of experience with text input methods I cannot ever recall one using this method of 1 carriage return being ignored. No forum, email or word processor (even WordPerfect for the c64) or Notepad uses this, so my guess is your experience is in some niche technical field which does not apply to what the general population expects.

Most UIs don’t even have a preview option, let alone need one, because they don’t require you to have a stick up your ass to ‘get’ using them.
