Is fixmbr still used?

Is that command line stuff? Hard pass for Windows users.

Edit: I guess the Windows users didn’t like that joke

Odd, maybe it’s time to try again? I use CanvasBlocker, very apt name 😄

Just to be clear, I use Firefox.

You could also whitelist websites probably, so it works unless you explicitly tell it not to.

Yeah, but which…

I installed such a plugin after reading about fingerprinting many years ago and have not ran into any problems yet. What issues have you encountered?

Surely the communication of the device could be monitored and analyzed?

This changelog is exactly what I was talking about a few days ago. It says nothing. Why even bother…

Just bought “old shit” 7th gen and 8th gen intel PC’s, complete, for 350, with gtx1080 cards. These are still pretty good. My own pc is a 7th gen intel with a 1060 and it still does everything I want with ease. It never feels slow, except for, of course, the latest games. Which I can now run on the PC’s with the 1080. I wanted to bridge a gap and found these are actually very capable for anything I throw at it.

Hi doggy

It’s not that they caused it, it’s that they’re putting this forward as a healthier and better alternative to pasteurized milk, which leads to the connection with the news.

You played 2 hours to die like this?

We are trialing off brand docks. Wouldn’t be a trial otherwise 😄 these work perfect btw.

I feel like I’m missing something important here as a simple fediverse user. I don’t really care about the politics, I just made an account during the first large Reddit exodus and choose an instance I thought would persist. I also made a second account on kbin.social, but it looks pretty dead as a project.

I never noticed anything described in this thread, but I’m subbed to many communities across the fediverse…

We bought some for work to trial and they cost 65€, so hardly hundreds

There’s always a MAC address, it’s just the dongle’s then.

Cool, if this works like how you are implying, then this is going to make my life a bit easier.

Arch is on the bleeding edge and it doesn’t ask for a reboot. I think it asks for a reboot to load the kernel parts that have updated. Arch probably just assumes you’ll do it eventually, but if you don’t it’ll just keep running the current kernel.

Dutch uses “do under” (onderdoen).

If you have a driver’s license, do you know a car works besides the basic maintenance that is checking your oil and keeping the tires inflated? Some people don’t even do that last one, while it’s a thing you should check regularly.

I think it’s a good thing the general public is able to use a computer without knowing the inner workings, but it also shouldn’t be obscured from them if they want to know/learn.

Yes, true.

The whole “OS update when I want an app update” is because of how dependencies work on Linux. A library is installed once and referenced by any app that wants to use it. This way, an update in the library benefits all apps using it, as bugs het fixed. Also less storage is used when the one library is used by many apps.

Windows programs keep their own versions of a library and hard link to that one. That makes the app more flexible. You can copy the app and it’s dependencies around and it will keep working. In this scenario multiple copies/versions of the same library can exist in the system, which takes more space.

Of course there is some nuance. Both operating systems can have/use shared or hard linked libraries, but this is the general gist of it.
