Wasn’t easier to just shutdown the server?

I use jitsi just because doesn’t have Facebook/Google/Microsoft login

I really hate all those apps who make a fake folder in Pictures called “.gs_fs3” (or similar) filled with dummy pictures that actually contain unique identifier data

My fix for those apps (unfortunately I need taobao and Alibaba for work and I can’t just uninstall them) is to create an empty file called .gs_fs3 so taobao can’t own it and populate it with the tracking data

The verge is completely wrong in this headline.

They wrote “are now available to buy”.

No. It’s a Kickstarter that might ship next year. The headline should have been “Bike tires made from NASA’s bizarre shape-shifting metal might be available to buy next year if the crowdfunding campaign isn’t a scam”

In this case it’s almost flexible funding. They set a ridiculous low target, $25k. That wouldn’t pay any tooling.

They fucking finally said the quiet part loud! Make a dystopian filtering system with CSAM as an excuse, then use it for filtering piracy, unauthorized gambling sites (but just because they’re not paying the taxes, not because actually caring about the citizens mental health), and so on

Unfortunately when you set the hotspot on Android, it doesn’t share the VPN. You would need to connect again from the PC or to use an app like “everything proxy” on the phone, then set the laptop to use the phone ip address as a proxy

Why pay $500 a month to get blocked? You can get ghosted for free already

surprising there’s no china, with billions of connected devices. Maybe you don’t need many public ipv4 when you run a country-wide LAN with limited internet access

Some asshole is going to use this to protect a website hosting CSAM. So the governments will use that as an excuse to use more invasive filters.

Newer, stricter, powerful filter is approved unanimously by the parliament.

Once the more invasive filters are set up, they can use them to block piracy websites, soccer streams, online gambling sites (but only if they didn’t pay the taxes), online trading sites, then they will think “hey this website has a lot of fake news” , let’s block that too", then “you know what? We should block porn too”, then “this block is really effective, we should block violent websites”, then “that page on Wikipedia is smearing the government, block that”, and go on

Can I ask what’s the feature that Lightroom has but darktable doesn’t?

Adobe products should be avoided even if free

Photoshop doesn’t have a real free alternative, but Lightroom has an almost 1:1 free competitor
