Being taken over by a foreign power is never a great time, but being taken over by a foreign power that is actively making their own citizens' lives worse every single day they are in power sounds especially worse...

That isn't so much "Boost is spyware" as it is "ads are spyware". Boost is either paid or supported by ads, either can be enough reason to not use the app, but it doesn't make the app itself spyware.

Letters with dots have screwed up so many of my creative works i've lost count. lol.

Basically. Turn the S logo into a cleavage window and it's Powergirl.

Any major combat movement is going to make her bits show.

She is an alien, so maybe she doesn't have bits like humans.

SLPT: Sow the seeds of divorce. Then you get every other weekend to hang out with your friends kid-free. Bonus points if you manage to stay friends with both sides, you get 50% of your friends available every weekend!

They'd be really upset if they weren't monolingual.

Someone got tricked into the gold package by their pot dealer it sounds like. A burner is just a cheap as chips pre-paid phone. You go to walmart or a gas station, pay with cash, the number gets assigned at activation (not in the store) and you top it up with pre-paid cards. Very difficult to figure out who bought what in those situations.

This person seems to think they have to buy a burner from a shady person in an alley that may or may not be the FBI. It's like if Michael Scott needed a burner phone...

Reviews and rating systems are by and large shit everywhere at this stage of capitalism. I'd actually say I trust Steam review sections more than most websites that have them anymore... It almost feels like a boomer af thing to leave a review on something, so I have to question the sanity of the people leaving the reviews, and if they can't be trusted, why would I trust their opinion of the product?

well, but they aren't actually using firefox...

Hahah... Wait, why were you watching?? Are you a pickpocket?

Neither is fucking Jensen Huang, the car was invented over 100 years ago for fuck's sake.

I don't know that it is "not the point". I'm sure there are varied expectations, and I don't think there are clearly defined rules of what an up or down vote means exactly, but it seems they are generally accepted to be "this is a good post/comment" or "this is a bad post/comment". I think you just got downvoted because you had a bad take. That's OK. Shit happens.

I feel like you misunderstand what a defense attorney does... Like, yes, they aren't allowed to knowingly let a client perjure themselves, but also they have a responsibility to present the best case they can and not just go "yea, my client did it, one-hundo P. Lock 'em up."

Same. Garuda has by far been the most "it just works" OS i've used.

errr... just FYI, if you have AUR packages through distrobox, you are basically just as vulnerable as someone running vanilla arch. You checked if you have anything form the AUR on the nearly 2k (last I checked) package list?

It looks comically huge in all the pictures on the Commodore website... Is it really that big?

I don't know that I agree that something has to be federated, if I can self-host I'm happy with that.

Eh. Flatpak has the option for process isolation, but it kinda works similarly to how android apps have default permissions set and the packager can just go "nah, this gets FULL permissions" and unless you go look and change it yourself, the program isn't restricted at all. I don't use ubuntu/snapd so can't speak to that.

There are more protections on flathub than the AUR for sure - the AUR is closer to just downloading random shit off the internet than a true repository. That said, it's crazy to assign the vulnerabilities of the AUR to Arch as a whole... The Arch repos proper (and even Chaotic AUR) didn't have problems during any of this.

Dude is still full because he has parasites.
