90% of American commercial services that is.

Online services or many/most European services have more proper 2FA (TOTP, app-based, card reader OTP, etc…)

I mean China definitely does it.

Tibeten “re-education” anyone? They stole the playbook for Tibet right from america dealing with native Americans, but with a little less outright killing. Uyghurs is less language genocide and more actual genocide and concentration/slave camps.

America did it and does it with native americans. Americans did it with literally every single group that came into the country with their whole “English isn’t our official language but you better speak English or be ostracized” through its history.

Literally every nation has tried at one point.

I am pretty sure language erasure is not “a form of genocide”, but “a component of recognizing genocide” or something that states thag commit genocide commonly do. I have looked at a bunch of definitions and genocide definition seems to always involve actually killing people:

any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such:

(a) Killing members of the group;
(b) Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group;
(c) Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part;
(d) Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group;
(e) Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group.[3]

My point was that every nation does it simply because of nationalism and ease of administration. Governments already run bad enough without having to keep 25 running translations of every document.

Oof, France has been committing genocide for hundreds of years then lol.

It has been trying to eradicate all regional languages outside of Parisian France for a long time now and still refuses to sign the European Charter for Minority and Regional Languages. Only recently did they start recognizing them and not banning the use of them.

And if it was an issue on github:

Closed: “couldn’t reproduce” 10 seconds after that last comment.

Coming soon, they will unveil the Huawei xxMatexx XTX Pro X design.

OK that is fair, though that is not self hosted…

VPS machines are a completely different beast than self hosting. But I guess I only said home use, not specifically self-hosting though we are in a self-hosted community. There are 1000 guides for setting up a VPN on your home network.

To be fair, if something is open by default or very easy to enable without informing about the risks, tons of people will have it exposed without thinking.

It isn’t that “tons of people do it so it is normal and perfectly fine” but more “people don’t realize.” It also uses some nontrivial amount of resources to process and block those attempts, even if they never have a chance of getting in.

There is yet a reason I can find to have it forwarded for home use. Need to ssh into a machine to fix it? VPN.

There are plenty of secure web-based tools to manage your server without a VPN also.

“DOJ is corrupt but also police can do no wrong, let’s give them tanks, until they are forced to be against our riots and then they are bad again, but only until we start saying that the riots weren’t us and was the deep state actors, then they never did anything wrong”

Depends. If someone is gaming with new hardware, don’t use a distro that doesn’t update the kernel quickly and regularly.

Almost every problem with hardware on mint is solved by going through the process of updating the kernel or switching to a distro with up to date libraries.

It’s fine for a lot of people, but it doesn’t “just work” outside of the use case of only browsing the internet and word documents.

This is coming from someone who used mint for 4 years. There was about a dozen times where the software on the software center was so out of date that it simply didn’t work and I had to resort often to using random ppa’s which often broke other things. Definitely not user friendly.

That being said, Cinnamon is probably one of the most user friendly DEs for people switching from window. It is very nice.

Does inkscape have diagram connecting? One of the best draw.io features is the wide array of premade shapes, styles, and auto connecting for flow visualization

True, but the UI reflects that they still use source forge lol. Still the best open source camera.

Even the most passive, neutral reporter in the world in any other case could/would say

“Young Palestinian creator who shared glimpses of daily life during war killed by Israeli airstrike.”

That is just 100% fact without a shadow of any doubt at all. The airstrike created the shrapnel that killed him, launched by Israel.

True, meanwhile my HP printer had a hell of a time trying to work on windows much less finding an actual downlosd for the scanner tool on HP’s websitr for a printer ovrr 5 years old and on Linux I typed yay HP, 1, then I was ready to print and scan.

Plus KDE discover is the convenience if the Microsoft store was actually good.

Settings are ACTUALLY in setting instead of being split between settings, control panel, individual tool auto diagnoses, powershell, and registry edits.

KDEconnect works seamlessly and I can also locate my phone if I lost it in the house.

Hilti is what the pros use.

I got a 2nd hand old model from my girlfriend’s dad (still twist lock) and it is a damn beast!

The Bosch professional line of hand jackhammers (don’t know the english word) can’t hold a candle to hilti to be honest. Hiltis can go all day and not overheat. It is just damn expensive.

And in all tiers: make an additional profit by selling your information without your consent (it has been decided in many courts that burying subtext deeply in forced terms of service isn’t consent)

We are already paying them by letting them harvest our data, ads or not.

Then they double or triple dip with the scenarios you describe. I am still paying them by being on their site with an ad blocker as they harvest my data and sell it to the highest bidder. Not to mention quadruple dipping with using our info and content without consent to train AI to sell.

They use the argument “your data/art/photos/videos are freely posted on the internet, so we can use them how we please”. If they publish content openly on the internet, then we are free to do with it as we please.

They can’t use the argument but say “no no no, it doesn’t apply to things WE put out”

They are either pirating our content and data constantly or ad-blocking is not pirating.

You definitely don’t use CUDA then. That is hardware accelerated machine learning basically.

For you usecase then it doesn’t make much of a difference. DLSS 3.0 is indeed better than FSR, but there are few games that use it i guess. DLSS 2.x and FSR are about on par with each other and FSR is enabled in all games. . Many/most of people don’t even realize that DLSS/FSR is disabled when gaming as the vast vast majority of games don’t even have it and and most don’t think about it, I have no idea if you are in the same boat, but then it makes no sense to base a decision based off of features you don’t use, in my opinion.

Games simply don’t benefit enough for the cost of a new processor, let alone new motherboard and ram.

A new GPU will almost always the best bang for your buck improvement in games.

Then you should definitely go AMD. There is literally no reason not to unless you are already using cuda or ray tracing a ton. AMD is the best value for the money by far, has a MUCH better software interface (never thought I would say that), comparable or less driver issues than nvidia now, and it also works flawlessly on Linux, including full undervolting support (important on any GPU, but on AMD it is much easier).

That being said, if comparable performance GPUs are the same price in your region and you use windows, nvidia is also fine to grab.

Always undervolt your GPU. My 5700XT that ran on 200W before now maxes out at 150W and usually is at 140W with a 1% performance difference. That is like a 9C temp difference.

Facebook marketplace is literally a shit show full of scams and it is hard to find anything, a bad UI, and no good filtering. The only thing holding it up is the algorithm to show you products (based on your browsing and advertising data). It is a step up from Craigslist, but it is mediocre at its absolute best. There are just no used alternatives in many places

We have an app here called 2dehands which has a similar scam problem, but is easier to filter out. However, the UX is 10x better with robust filtering, setting up pre-specced searches based on location, price, text strings, quality, categories, etc… with email and/or app notifications for new items added and everything surrounding bidding and favorite item status.

I am fighting this with people at work.

No, it is not “one more password to remember”

You have 2 passwords: your laptop and your Bitwarden. Forget everything else. Don’t care. Use a passphrase if you have troubles with passwords.

I even generated a sample password from bitwarden and drew them a picture of how to remember it lol

Still about 10% of people forgot their password in the first 2 months.

Then use Wireguard to get into your local network. Simple as. All security risks that don’t need to be accessed by the public (document servers, ssh, internal tools, etc…) can be accessed via VPN while the port forwarded servers are behind a reverse proxy, TLS, and an authentication layer like Authelia/authentik for things that only a small group needs to access.

Sorry, but there is 1 case in 10000 where a home user would have to have publicly exposed SSH and 9999 cases of 10000 where it is not needed at all and would only be done out of laziness or lack of knowledge of options.
