Android backs up data to the cloud. If the phone breaks or gets stolen, you don’t need to recover data from it - you can just pull it from Google’s servers.

In addition, people tend to not treat their phones as “permanent storage”. The concept of losing or breaking their phone is probably more clear, so they make sure to back it up in some way to the cloud or their desktop.

Also, it’s much more likely for a phone to be stolen than a laptop or desktop.

There is a major downside to encryption: If you forget your password or your tpm fails and you’ve not backed things up, then that data is gone forever. If someone doesn’t have anything incriminating or useful to theives on their device, the easier reparability might justify not enabling it.

I encrypt my home folder and Windows install just in case someone breaks into my house and steals my computer. Super annoying entering my password each boot though.

He’s trying to say “I’m attention seeking, look at me!”.

If Alice is able to send “algorithm updates” through a secure and untraceable medium, why not just use that to send a unique email address that Bob can send messages to?

If the links between participants is to remain secret, why not have a big ledger shared between a thousand people that any of them can send unaddressed messages to? Bob would send a message encrypted with Alice’s public key and it gets mixed into the ledger. Alice then pulls the entire ledger and then decrypts any messages encrypted by her public key.

I don’t see why there is a need to accept the inherrent unreliably of an llm to solve this problem.

“Sorry the place is such a tip”

Windows XP. It does what you want with very little nonsense, and can require a bit of technical finagling.

… So when you said “lol”, you didn’t mean it? ;_;

Imo, anyone that seems to routinely complain about people “taking things too seriously” with their edgy jokes tend to rely more on shock value than actual comedy…

Y’all aren’t teenagers any more. Using slurs isn’t funny any more.

I think a peer to peer model could work for social media, but if you’re trying to sell it using a pepe meme, I’m not interested…

But fundamentally… Why not implement what you’re thinking ontop of ActivityPub or ATProto than rolling your own thing? None of the issues you’ve described facing them are particularly insurmountable. They just need a bit of devwork.

I think convention is for files served by the server to go in /srv or even /usr/lib.

Remember: If you kill yourself, all your debts get transferred to your next of kin!

Disclaimer: I don’t know if this actually happens. Wouldn’t surprise me though.

It’s only sitting in three panels though.

I know it’s difficult, but I’d like for a terminal to have copy-paste work correctly, even over SSH. Most of my shell config fiddling has been trying to get copy-paste working through tmux+emacs+ssh in a way that doesn’t require xsel.

Other than that, one thing I’m missing from Alacritty is tabs. I know I can/should use tmux, but oftentimes I’ve launched a long-running command and then realized I want to do something else in another terminal.

I think it varies from person to person, so yeah, more of a spectrum. I’m not ace myself and don’t follow the community that closely so I’m not sure the exact definitions.

As I understand it, some ace people find sex gross and obviously want to avoid anything relating to it it, but some are neutral towards it. If they are with a partner that likes sex, then they may enjoy having sex because it makes their partner happy. Or maybe they find the physical sensations enjoyable, but not looking at porn/people. Or maybe they just want to do it for good prostate health.

They are not contradictory because “I don’t like sex” (which I didn’t actually say) doesn’t necessarily imply “I dislike the idea of sex”.

I never really understood why people misunderstand or denounce the experience of ace people…

Ignoring some nuance, it feels like it’s simply “feels no or reduced sexual attraction”. That sounds pretty clear to me; that feeling you get when you look at a pretty lady? They don’t experience that.

Yet there’s always statements like “but they have sex!”, “But they like being tied up!” and “They’re in a relationship!”. People gotta overcomplicate things or look for reasons to discredit them, I guess?

Nothing says “Linux” more than paying a megacorp to steal the hard work of artists…

I think Mint is good enough. People will dunk on anything popular.

Honestly, trying to make a career out of Youtube/Twitch just seems miserable… Better to work for a place that actually gives you employee rights and job security.

Perhaps better to keep it as a hobby if they enjoy doing it. Means there’s less pressure.
