The author has a Master’s in informatics. That’s pretty much like an MBA. I wouldn’t expect more than buzzword-bingo from someone like that.

Python? This will require “specialized hardware” just due to the interpreter overhead taking continuous screenshots of everything you do and indexing/storing them. Why bother implementing something like this using an interpreted language??

The only way to combat this is to vote the assholes out at the end of their term.

Extreme leftists are getting a little too comfortable all over the world it seems.

Only if he uses Linux and insists on anal as a form of contraception. 😂

I’ve been using them to report spammers (including companies who can’t be bothered to fix their mailing list unsubscription mechanisms). It works by parsing mail headers, identifying the origin of the email and submitting email abuse reports to the operators of the relays that processed the unwanted email.

Well, as a feminist, I’m choosing the wolves.

Take care man! Take a step back, do what you have to do to decompress a little. I wish you all the best with whatever life is throwing at you. Don’t give up and hang in there!

That’s a decent workaround for a laptop with a broken keyboard.

My guess is that some businesses get tax breaks from municipalities in exchange for filling office spaces with warm bodies. The idea is that people in office buildings support local businesses by buying lunch, and sometimes grabbing a pint after work.

I’m not trying to excuse this trend, in fact as an IT person myself I 100% agree with the sentiment, I’m just trying to share what I’ve been told.

If you’re that worried, why not run chmod -R u+w .git inside the project dir to “un write-protect” the files, then just ascend to the directory containing the project dir (cd ..) and use rm -r without -f?

The force flag (-f) is the scary one, I presume?

Wow, beautiful analogy! I’m going to use that in my professional career if you don’t mind. Also with your permission I’d like to give you credit with a link to this comment, if that’s OK with you, of course.

I wonder if this has anything to do with Apple’s CSAM scanning. You know, hang on to the photos as evidence, and, for an added bonus, sell more iCloud storage because the “System Data” now exceeds the free iCloud data storage quota. Win-win!

 

I've been testing the Orion browser for macOS and iOS/iPasOS for a few days. It's WebKit-based, and Apple OS exclusive. First impressions are positive, although I haven't put it through its paces (check multi-device iCloud settings sync, push tabs to its limits, dig into exactly how it protects privacy by syncing through iCloud, etc). Would love to hear your thoughts on this, especially if anyone has tried it.

Out of the box, this browser purports to be more private than Safari, Firefox, Brave and Chrome (not exactly high bars to beat, except maybe Brave/Firefox?). The killer feature, however, is support for Chromium and Firefox extensions... on iOS/iPadOS. The two extensions I tried (AdNauseam and Youtube SponsorBlock) don't appear to work; at least their extension web pages don't appear to function. Not sure if that's intentional, or if I messed something up.

In any case, would love to see some feedback from the community here.
