which model? it says gpt 4o mini can do web search

oh, I see. well, lessons learned hopefully! :)

not bad faith, but overriding your selected search engine is just plainly very fucked up for firefox to do.

and this it not only on mobile. I had the same experience on desktop some time ago.

what garbage cleanup tool gets rid of dotfiles, especially .git? if you let us know we can learn to avoid it

be careful with combining lemmy and osm, you are giving away where you live, possibly to the house and you won’t know it (like if you upload gps traces)

well, it’s in the settings. “Include anti features” menu.

my 750 ti works. nouveau can’t increase the clock speed to the operating clock on boot, on boot the display on that card shows random data with colorful pixels, and nvtop does not see it either, but it works.

that sounds shit advice. I’m not a graphene user, but no, someone using it does not mean they are “overly privacy sensitive”. the person saying this seems to be overly wanting to tell what everyone shoukd do.

another point is that if you’re using an online service to pay, you are probably doing it because you are paying for an online thing, and in turn you can’t pay with cash.

wait, are they really using it?

IT basically constructs several virus exe files during runtime FROM THE BYTECODE SECTION !!

what kind of viruses? what do they do? did you notice anything objectively bad that they do? or something fishy other than creating executables?

These exe files are what does the activation. It also installs backdoors, and potential malware !!

could you provide a little more details on what kind of backdoors does it install? and what malware?

this could be a big deal, but you didn’t provide anything that could be verified.

another person here also highlighted that mullvad can already do btc + monero + traditional money, so I guess maybe it could just work that way.

interesting though, that mullvad had that for many years now, didn’t it? and this podcast is not old. why did Andy say what he said?

tbh I didn’t read the petition page until now because I didn’t expect an official source, but this is going to be interesting

I don’t think it’s that easy. the CEO Andy Yen talked about this briefly in this podcast, it boils down to financial auditors not liking cryptocurrencies. he said even just by accepting bitcoin most of the auditors won’t agree to audit their company, all the while they are legally required to have regular audits

instructions unclrear: palantir office is now in underground bunker

unexpected lesson, but that umask in a subshell is very clever!

I think it’s more about door locking and such features

source on how easy it is to implement 2FA: https://drewdevault.com/2022/10/18/TOTP-is-easy.html

I see at least three issues: the extra cost, the extra layer of complexity it introduces, and the almost complete loss of autonomy it creates

I don’t see the first 2 issues. it is very easy to implement code based 2FA, both on server side and client side. it also has a lower maintenance, because it doesn’t need anothet API endpoint that the app can send data to. it is less complex, even if we don’t account for whatever crosscheck the backend does with play integrity servers.

the 3rd one I don’t understand. the government shouldn’t have autonomy over my phone. but probably I misunderstood this one

That would not be an issue at all if there was no requirement/expectation to use any phone or device of any kind to begin with. To me, that’s the real point worth considering but it’s also a point very few are actually willing to consider because ‘technology is always the solution, never the issue’ ;)

hmm. does your place have physical government offices, where you can get a paper ticket to an administator? do they also require you to use their shitty app? if yes and no, then technically it is not a requirement, but it’s intentionally very complicated and time consuming to go without the app

I think the play integrity bullshit is also a big issue. it literally prevents people, anyone, from showing their backs to these corpo scumbags (google and the manufacturers)

ok, but requiring standard TOTP 2FA is one thing. that can be perfectly privately and without any real issue. but that and mandating the usage of an app with built in snitching and which refuses to work on non google-approved devices are different things.

then ask a friend or a random person on the street about it. “easy for me” does not mean it is easy for the average person. the average person is lost in the settings of their phone, and they rarely turn on the desktop anymore, if they have one
