Some installers write to the protected “Program Files” or “Program Files (x86)” folders. These are special folders requiring elevated permissions. (This is why a lot of modern programs install to your user folder or AppData instead).
Unfortunately, these same permissions also allow writing to OS files. It’s good to be wary. You may be interested in a Sandbox program (I use Sandboxie). Someone else here can tell me if this is unnecessary or not useful in general.

Is Starfield any good yet?


Star Wars is only good anymore when it’s just a story wrapped in Star Wars paper. Andor: WW2 spy thriller. Skeleton Crew: Goonies knockoff. Disney has no goddamn clue what to do with their IP, and that includes Marvel. The best Marvel movies are not about superheroes.
It’s much cheaper to power computers with the brains most of us aren’t using.


Oddly enough, it’s called Syncthing-fork.

I get captchas on a lot of websites when I use a VPN. On the VPN, it’s impossible to solve the captcha, it just keeps repeating. The only way to pass the captcha is to turn off the VPN.
I’m using a lot of archive sites lately.


This is just poor engineering. They could save money by using jam nuts.


There have been too many data breaches from cloud-based services to trust another one. I have a Proton account for email and online storage, but I won’t use their password service because it’s cloud based.

Lastpass leaked their password database in 2022, and bad actors are still using it to access peoples files, stealing passwords and hundreds of thousands of dollars in crypto.
DON’T trust anything important to cloud-based storage or services. Use Keepass. Use Syncthing if you need to keep the database on multiple devices.
(I see other comments using Dropbox. Dropbox = cloud. Don’t store anything security related in the cloud.)


Exactly. Windham isn’t going to do anything until you make it inconvenient for them to ignore you. Do whatever you can think of to be a nuisance with the information they send you.

Who is Jerma, and why does his crap clog my YouTube feed? Except it’s not Jerma’s stuff, but people making videos about Jerma.


Donald J. Trump pardoned The Silk Road guy, who was responsible for a non-zero amount of opioid sales on the dark web.


Is this quantum-resistant?


Sorry, none of those are true.
-GIMP is freeware.
-It’s also open source.
-It’s also free to distribute.
-It’s free to modify.
-It’s even free to sell, as long as you include the source code.


Please explain. How is FOSS not also freeware?


I played with this a couple times. Once it located a nondescript stream in the UP of Michigan to within 200 miles. It knew the picture was taken in the UP. The second was a ferry dock in a foreign country (English speaking). It found a sign and that misdirected it to the other side of the country.
Megalag has perfected the most annoying video technique of all time: flashing the words on the screen one at a time while he speaks them.
