How people are so confident in sharing their DNA, something you cannot change, that you will carry on for your entire life, and that can uniquely identify you with just a small sample, to a private, profit-driven company still amazes me

And the worst part is, even if you’re careful about it, all that’s needed is a relative doing it and now the company can basically tell most of your family tree

And all for what, knowing the parents of the parents of your parents come from some neighboring country? No shit, Sherlock, people move around

it is, but you need to have some chemistry knowledge to be able to extract it from things like anal lube, and that’s where I think this DIY project will shine

just like nuclear fusion, it was 10 years away 10 years ago, it’s 10 years away now and it will be 10 years away 10 years from now

i mean, usually wikipedia’s references ARE from those old books

right, you fan disabile them using their unique software which you have to install for every component, signing away your life (cough cough Disney) in the process

yuuupp

I’m just sad we aren’t at calling it “formerly facebook” instead of meta

how else are they supposed to get you to use their AI for everything

what’s the cookie supposed to mean?

the problem is the one we’re gonna have in a few years if nobody steps in now and does something

cough cough EU please

after reading all the comments I still have no idea what the hell crowdstrike is

chinese EVs are cheap, plentiful and work just as fine as teslas

No, mull is a fork of Firefox meant for android and developed by the divestOS team, while mullvad is a completely different fork, only for desktop atm and developed by mullvad (the VPN company)

they both focus on privacy and integrate Tor patches and modify some configs to better resist fingerprinting, but mullvad browser goes a step further with the tor integration, going as far as storing all data in RAM, so it deletes every cookie, history etc on restart. Could be an advantage, could be a disadvantage, up to you

wasn’t that the whole point of capitalism anyways? /s

what’s the fun in modding if not the two hours where you think you’ve bricked everything and you’re scrambling through a 52 page post on XDA trying to find someone with your same problem

how about x.org lmao

while playing around with face/fingerprint unlock for my laptop, I messed up pam (Linux Pluggable Authentication Modules) and no passwords were working anymore except for the root account. At first I was still on my account, but then I stupidly rebooted and could only log in as root. After so many config edits, I gave up and instead booted up windows (my laptop’s dual booted), setting up a new linux install in VirtualBox, and then copying over the PAM config files from the vm to the actual Linux install.

and it all somehow worked!

I am now facing another issue which I’m gonna say here in the hope somebody has already ran into it: after updating to KDE plasma 6, tap to click works on my touchpad, but actually, physically, pressing on the trackpad doesn’t work. I can hear the pad’s physical clicking noise, but nothing happens os wise

this one’s still to be resolved

now imagine pushing an update to it
