For Flatpak, I use vscodium to strip Microsoft telemetry out of vscode. It works really well, the one downside is that vscode extensions are pretty intrusive. They expect system provided SDKs. So you then have to install the SDKs in the Fla

Linux doesn't have to grapple with any of that. Consumer distros do, because they're general purpose operating systems designed to be run on anything for any use case. But your POS system where you enter in orders? That's L

Jira on-prem and cloud works just fine on Linux. My experience is support tickets usually go through there. And then calls and stuff are on zoom or maybe teams - both also work on Linux.

The entire crusade against "illegal immigrants" in the US is built on misinformation. Pretty much everything the Trump administration has said about, well, everything, has been a thinly veiled lie. Its not misinformation vs the go

People support lots of ideas. I support the idea of everyone getting 1 billion dollars. Can we do that ethically? No. Of course not. The implementation must necessarily require death and theft. Age verification is a similar problem. I suppo

Its both, ultimately politics is not all-knowing and you can't stamp out all technical solutions. Like, breaking encryption is just not possible if the encryption is set using a proper algorithm. Governments try, and they try to pass l

It is a poverty problem, and black people are much more likely to be in poverty. That doesn't mean that white people can't also be in poverty. A lot of people just don't understand what privilege is. Who has more upward mobil

Yes, exactly. A lot of these 2FA schemes or attestation schemes break automation, which is really undesirable in this particular scenario. Its tricky.

Stealing is illegal, blocking ads isn't. The FBI recommends you use an ad blocker. If anything, ads steal from YOU. They take your time and attempt to get you to part with your money. You're not obligated to support a business mod
