I think that used to be the case more than it is now. Linux now uses the same printing system (CUPS) as macOS, and macOS printing has to work or Apple’s customers would be unsatisfied.

mission accomplished? That has the same effect as making it private, doesn’t it?

which Debian? Have you considered Debian testing or unstable?

I don’t have a very good answer to that either tbh; do we really need to do that so often?

video → video producer

audio → musician, podcaster, … depending on the type of audio

text media → author

The UI platform with the largest install base of all is the web. Nearly all computer users can use your GUI if you develop it for the web, it’s almost the definition of the universal open standard for GUIs.

Browsers can only execute JavaScript or WebAssembly, so you need to write it in JavaScript or in something that compiles to these things, e.g. TypeScript (but there are also ways to compile other languages to JS or WASM).

Do we need a general term? Someone who uploads their videos to a video platform is probably a “video producer”.

Nothing of course. I post stories about KOSA in order to make people aware what’s happening about it.

All VPNs do is change who has your browsing data: your ISP or the VPN operator. You may or may not trust either of them not to keep records, in either case you have no way of verifying this.

and here I thought complaints about the ribbon were late 2000s, early 2010s stuff, incredible we still get these kinds of things in 2024

ISPs are rich too?

that’s right: into their UI; with free software, you could use a different UI with no ads

when he said that software should be free as in freedom, because that would solve this problem

Stallman was right.

maybe someone once performed a command like “for all files in this folder without an extension, append .exe to them” and didn’t exclude subdirectories from that

no nothing similar has ever happened to me, nuh-uh, why would you ever suspect that

There is no inherent security problem with changing the content of the clipboard. That doesn’t do anything until the user pastes it somewhere; of course if that “somewhere” is a command prompt, then that is a security problem, but users really ought to check what they’re pasting there before they execute it (yeah, I know, “ought to”).

It would be possible to do it the way you say, but that would mean that the user would need to allow that for many websites; I don’t think copying from apps like Google Docs would work anymore, and “here’s your access token, click here to copy it to the clipboard” features certainly wouldn’t.

The screenshot in the OP would then probably be changed to include a step “click: allow clipboard access”; I think most people who fall for the screenshot in the OP would also fall for that.

One side’s “wisdom of the crowd”, “truth” and “knowledge and democracy” is the other’s “conspiracy theories”, “disinformation”. 🙁

If the Australian government is going to regulate ex-Twitter, it’s going to be writing a law that applies to all websites (or maybe: all websites above a certain size), including here on the fediverse; not just to ex-Twitter.

I am not seeing any movements by governments that would “restore some freedom for individuals”, anywhere in the world. All I am seeing is censorship.

Somehow I am managing to completely ignore the existence of ex-Twitter as well as any decisions made there. What is being ruined?
