Oligarchy Linux likely has so many government-backed backdoors that this one was perhaps a consequence of them.

Privacy@lemmy.ml•European Commission Revives Push for Encryption Backdoors in ProtectEU Strategy, Framing Mass Surveillance as “Lawful Access”
6·10 days agoThose in charge are as is often the case incompetent when it comes to actual means of running things.
They impose high taxes to offset the losses caused by their corrupt politics and friends & families appointed to public institutions. In turn, they’re surprised that the general populace have started to get outside of the system by living off grid, having money outside of their circle of influence, etc. The population is starting to become ungovernable.
It never was about any sort of safety.

World News@lemmy.world•Israel plans development of space weapons capable of striking targets on EarthEnglish
8·10 days agoSpace is a neutral zone like the Antarctic. Like they have any right to bring weaponry over there.
Rather than having weaponry to protect Earth against external threats like asteroids, they’d point the weapons inwards to oppress the population of Earth.
This administration should be dismantled as soon as possible. It’s toxic to the world.
Glad to witness that Epic Games sees the reason and benefit of distributing to the other operating systems besides Windows.

Linux@lemmy.ml•Linus Torvalds uses AI to debug an Intel GPU driver bug
1·11 days agoReddit had the Epstein-Zionist entity follow you tirelessly and downvote random posts you made just for speaking out against them in some niche subreddit.
Not to mention the downvote-mentality of the generic NPC Redditor. I’d rather avoid putting effort into speaking publicly, than to have such “debates”. Waste of time if you ask me, because a lot of their locals just sit in their echo chambers and don’t do anything productive with their lives… that is, if they’re real people in the first place and not just AI algorithms or paid bot farms.
Check out Tuxedo Computers, and StarLabs. They have some decent laptop hardware.
But the bigger question is, why are you looking to replace the machine? Apple Silicon is very powerful already, and you’re still supported by Apple on macOS.

Technology@lemmy.world•YouTube Premium is getting yet another price hike for users across the globeEnglish
1·11 days agoThis is a bit of an overstatement. Brave has competent software developers - they created their Rust-based content blocker, and kept it as open-source. It’s one of the most powerful blocking mechanisms, often working in places where even the rightfully praised uBlock Origin doesn’t (good examples are in YouTube itself last year when they’ve made a big attempt to stop adblocking by changing the underlying mechanism of how ads are being served in videos).
They were perfectly capable of developing advanced software before AI coding agents were a thing. They’re skilled and delivering.

Nobody sane would keep bashing a table with a hammer expecting different results than the table breaking under pressure at some point.

Linux@lemmy.ml•Canadians have a historic opportunity to punch Microsoft in the face
282·17 days agoDitching Microsoft is only a pure benefit.
Linux is free, better maintained, and way less troublesome for proper work. Microsoft ecosystem is just an illusion of comfort that keeps breaking itself the moment it encounters a printer, a virtual machine having issues, or whatever else.
Better invest that money into real human employees rather than paying for all the licensing costs.
While at it, the cybersecurity mafia should also get sanctioned out of existence by making the SOC 2 charade an irrelevant thing. It’s just an overpriced, silly report, not even a proper certification anyway.

4·18 days agoNah, at this point the other nations should go Va Banque with their sanctions, and embargo until the USA collapses into +/- 50 independent countries. Toxic relationships deserve to have their bridges permanently burnt, no “another chance” just to be fooled once again.

13·4 months ago- (in-house) Recruiter
- Project Manager
- Agile Coach
These are probably my top three. Recruiters who work in company HR, are usually very moody about who they pick, based on personal preference rather than facts. Sole proprietor recruiters are effective though, that’s why only the in-house ones.
The other two are similar, but they’re the “I work in IT” people who neither possess nor perform the technicalities. Actual imposters (unlike many good folk who do fair work but sometimes suffer from the “imposter syndrome”).
And yes, exceptions happen too. I just dislike these three roles in particular.
I doubt they did - they only speak up for the fictional customer, meanwhile silently complying to whatever government requests user data from them.
They’ll say anything just to distract their users away from them being caught red handed in the act of giving away their data to the governments all around the world.
Classic business marketing.

17·4 months agoI’d personally like to see a LotR in KCD2 format, maybe centred around Rohan or Dale.
I hope they go in depth with side questing and gameplay loops, rather than focusing on the main story. Kind of how Skyrim was a sidetracking paradise.



Deport these 9% who want Canada to become the 51st US state.
The country’s average IQ will rise, and you’ll be free of disruptive elements, dear Canada. Be intolerant to the intolerant! (i.e. to those who support the American pedocracy.)
