Not by much. Salts can do it a little, as can cold.

To make any vaguely noticeable difference, you’ll want to pressurise and supercool it.

These are very subjective arguments, and even the objective points are completely subjective depending on your distro.

I mean one of his arguments is that C++ is just inherently insecure. He just takes Microsoft’s claims at face-value that all their pointless shit is the magical security wall that it claims to be. He buys into the same lie that ACE on a Windows, Mac or Android is somehow much much safer than on Linux. Most of his claims that other OSes are more secure are rooted in “well yeah they do exactly the same but at least they knooow they do”.

I’m not even acknowledging ChromeOS - it is Linux, except it only runs a browser.

99% of this stuff also applies to Windows/MacOS/Android/iOS, except moreso and far more universally. And 90% of this stuff is only relevant if you’re being targeted by some state-funded intelligence like the CIA (cold reading your RAM?? minimum 16-character password?? Keystroke fingerprinting???)

So whatever, I think the hardening guide looks fairly accurate, but unless you’re being spied on by world powers, I wouldn’t consider it worth peoples’ time to read, never mind implement. 90% of people are still going to be more secure by cluelessly using Linux instead of cluelessly using the others.

As someone who has personally dealt with that kind of large contract, the data protection does not flow over to regular customers at all. Even with a big Google contract, our company still had restrictions on what kind of data we could put up there, specifically because of how Google said they’d process it.

Yeah no.

“Turning off a smart feature means your Workspace Content & Activity will no longer be used to improve the relevant smart features moving forward. The learnings developed from this improvement process may persist even after you turn off a smart feature.” “turning off a smart feature setting means that your Workspace Content & Activity would no longer be actively processed to improve the relevant smart features.”

That includes GMail and basically all your Google stuff. So they’re absolutely free to “improve their features” based on all your shit, and that would pretty certainly include Gemini.

well alright, maybe just a little bit moreso. But it’s not really a new phenomenon. Microsoft have long-demonstrated they could reach out the computer monitor and slap every user around a bit with a large trout, and still keep 95% of their user base.

This is how people start believing the free market makes it moral for poor people to just die instead

I don’t listen to anything said by the others, but does Hasan actually support that position? I’m not convinced.

Vaush, then Destiny.

In my personal experience, it absolutely does. Only time I’ve ever had seriously painful dry skin on my hands was when I was out of hand soap for a week. But I do wash my hands frequently.

My last car was 35 years old when I ditched it, the underside was rusted to a point of no longer being safe. Plus the exhaust kept falling off.

A car for more than like 5k. A terrifying stat is that 90% of people in my country buy their car for on finance for >10k, yet you can buy a reasonable used one for no more than 5k anywhere

There are niche circumstances where a pricey car could be worthwhile, lots of long haul journeys, need for fuel efficiency, etc, but 90% of people don’t need or benefit much from that.

I bought my current one for 1k just last year. It’s 20 years old, but it’s in perfect condition and the efficiency is not that much different from modern cars, certainly not enough to be nearly worth the extra money.

Except… none of these are proven, or even have any examinable evidence.

Most of them are “suspicions” and the others are just unilateral declarations by like, the UK police, which you can’t exactly take at face value.

(4/100) * 75 = (75/100) * 4

I actually think the mutability of expressions is an under-taught part of maths until you reach like, constructing high-level proofs. Rearranging numbers into already-understood ones is a very useful skill.

Sure is

Boom, installed, cool addon

A blocklist for malware would be safeguarding. But you can’t claim this is “safeguarding” against… completely safe software?

And it’s not exactly easily overridden, otherwise this post wouldn’t exist.

Sadly, there a few annoying things in Firefox which absolutely are not overridable at all. Firefox is heckin’ awesome, but this just ain’t true.

And there we go, a multi-year antitrust effort will result in nothing. The remedy is just that… they have to share some indexing data.

We’re fucked.

Almost, but vim can’t display images, doi!

That’s what catimg is for.

As a European, it’s been a long time coming. I would say tide turned in favour of it and both Ukraine and Israel-Gaza have been important factors - Most countries suddenly decided they didn’t have enough sway over public support for Western imperialism. And the big part of that has been the internet.
