Cyborganism

Right? 🤦

1 minute in, the video stops and requests that we log in…

Public libraries often have CDs tout can borrow.

Good guy Proton

It’s like when you move IRL. Just give them your new address. Done.

Oh I’ve been using Linux for over 20 years. That’s not an issue.

I have a better idea now of what an immutable distro is thanks to your explanation. I don’t know if that’s what I would want after all.

I think I prefer the freedom of being able to modify my system files and configs as I need to customize my system as I see fit, even if it meansb potentially breaking something.

What parts of the immutable OS are read only? Like filesystem wise? I’m not sure I really get it.

That seems like a solid OS. It’s there an Ubuntu based variant?

It’s a real shame. I guess I’ll be running Linux now.

See? No need to thank me. ;)

Take a bank card with an NFC chip and put it inside your phone case.

Some ads I really enjoy though. They’re not ALL bad. But it’s the quantity and how they’ve just become omnipresent. Especially with these god damn smart phones. Constantly trying to get our attention.

I doubt it. Regular folks are ignorant about those issues and what the technology involved implies. AI sounds cool until you realize every single action you take on your computer, every single word you say, everything you look at, is collected and sent to some machine which does god knows what with it.

That plus the ads. The fucking ads. I’m so god damn tl saturated of seeing ads everywhere. But apparently most folks have grown some kind of immunity to it??

That is fucked.

I’m already starting to transition to full Linux on my devices with the arrival of Windows 11 and Windows 10 reaching end of life in October next year. I never thought I’d see the day of this happening.

Take a chill pill.

All I’m saying is whatever the service, be careful what you post online. We assume the people hosting fediverse services have a code of ethics or that they have our best interests or privacy at heart. Or even that they have the time and know how to protect our data.

But we should still consider the opposite and take the necessary precautions.

What version of Windows?

Well you shouldn’t trust a public, decentralized, open source personally hosted service either.

I don’t really know who’s hosting the Lemmy or other fediverse services I use and what access they have to the data that we post on there.

Basically, you shouldn’t trust any online service with your data and your posts.

I’m trying really hard to get my family to use something else for communication but they won’t. It’s a fucking drag.

I agree with you 💯 percent.

What does that mean?
