It is available on YouTube for free with French and Spanish audio, but no English version. Auto-generated subtitles are unfortunately crap and barely make sense.

If you really were still naive enough to think that a public tech company cares about your right to privacy at that point, it’s pretty much on you.

Step 1: Use an open source mail client that doesn’t contain trackers like FairEmail instead of Google’s app.

Step 2 (optional but recommended): Get another email service that respects privacy.

I mean they did switch to their own flavor of their competitor with Edge already so it wouldn’t be a first.

I just hope that is they do this they won’t gain leverage to control the development of Linux for their own purposes in some way.

Translation: Microslop’s executives are finally starting to realize that they fucked up.

Of course they want that. So they can control and see everything that people can do on their devices. With Moore’s law there is absolutely no reason why centralizing computers should make sense. This is pure corporate greed and nothing else.

You will own nothing and be happy.

Here is the still image from the video:

• A muzzle flash normally shows as a “ball” of luminous high pressure hot gas in front of the muzzle. In the image there is no “ball” of light in front of the muzzle. It is the snow on the ground being lit by the light. It is also too far from the muzzle to be that.

• There is also what initially appears to be muzzle glow directly at the muzzle. But that white streak near the front of the rifle cannot be that because muzzle glow is orange-red, not white and would not last long enough to make a streak on camera. It is the light itself. The muzzle flash would have also washed it out from this angle as it is supposed to be a lot less bright in comparison.

That must be consuming so much fuel. The amount of power required to jam electronic signals over such a large area must be insane.

It’s a rifle mounted tactical flashlight that flashed on.

The specific video was posted earlier on its own and an analysis of the still frame where the light flashed proved it without doubt.

I work for a huge organization and my local IT guys have their hands bound. I couldn’t even make a ripple in that ocean even if I tried.

Happened to me at work where they force us to use Windows 11. I had turned on the autosave feature on a Word document I was working on. Little did I know this meant it stopped saving the changes locally and started saving them on a OneDrive copy. I then worked all day on that file.

The next day I notice the file on OD, find it odd that it is there so I delete it because I want nothing to do with OD. I then open the local word file and realize that none of the work I did the day prior was saved.

I figured out what happened and fortunately the file was still in the recycle bin. But fuck that whole system to begin with. It won’t even let me use the autosave feature locally.

That really was a missing feature because in an OLED black theme the window boundaries aren’t visible. I have fixed that problem with the Klassy theme, which I really hope KDE officially integrates or at least imitates in the future.

Also with Klassy in a dark theme if you make the window shadow white, it looks like a back glow which looks very nice.

If only it was a Dodge Ram instead, it would have been perfect

(Dodge Rams are conspicuously over represented in DUI statistics)

The HDMI forum sure is making a great job of making DP the new standard.

The HDMI connectors were fragile and getting loose from repeated use anyway. They suck.

Leave it to NVidia to think that adapting their bloatware to Linux is what will make Linux users come back to them instead of not making proprietary drivers that suck.

It must level off at some point, if anything for purely mathematical reasons. But the higher it gets before that happens the better.

I like that the line appears to take an exponential growth curve. Hopefully it will keep going. Microslop sure is helping right now.

I came back to see this removed comment and now I can only imagine what it was
