That’s not really how Lemmy works, it’s more like Reddit, where you’d probably want to look at communities. But I’ve not seen anyone announce any new vulns here, people just post links to articles about them.

Searching for communities from the db0 instance should get you a bunch related to cybersecurity and infosec (only reccomending as some other instances have defederated from the .ml instance you’re posting from/in). If I have some time later I’ll edit this post with some.

It’s very simple. The US government maintains a list of sanctioned entities and companies. US citizens and businesses are not allowed to do business with these entities. Most of the removed maintainers either used their company email, or very publicly are employees of these sanctioned companies.

There’s no investigation of connections or anything complicated going on here.

Also, if you think corporations becoming effective government is some Russia specific thing, I have a bridge to sell you.

He’s practically always been like this. If anything he’s notably softened with age.

From being able to work on Linux stuff without having their contributions reviewed by someone else (not from russia).

It’s an important distinction many seem to miss.

I would love to see The Protomen’s albums adapted into a muscial (assuming they ever finish Act 3). Reading the liner notes while listening along gets close, and they already did the music for “Terminator the Second” (musical shakespearian adaptation of Terminator 2).

except for flooding you with more ads between video recommendations

That’s literally it. The advertising and marketing teams within Google have politically maneuvered themselves into running the show, and the software/product engineering teams that want to maximize the quality of the system they work on (search, youtube) are overridden by insipid metrics that advertising needs more user interaction with ads.

They literally have been commanding that things be made more shitty to optimize their malformed metrics. You absolutely can get more people to click the sponsored search results… if you keep making them less distinct from the actual results. And advertising needs those good click through rates nooooow!

There are email chains documenting this sort of shit going on that have become part of the public record due to various court cases.

Wonderful article about it all here

Even so, why post this and not any one of countless other things?

Like I feel that you’re missing a clear sign here. Most people would roll their eyes and move on. This is quite possibly the most “leopards ate my face” post in this community and yet it’s being upvoted because “hooray tribalism” over something as asinine as OS (really kernel) choice.

Then why did you bother posting here complaining about it?

You care so little that you made a meme about it, and have now reposted a slightly edited version of it roughly a day later.

You can re-enable microsoft store etc with a single line of powershell if you really need.

If you’re talking about crowdstrike… They didn’t all blue screen. That was caused by third party software that caused the same sort of issue (kernel crash/panic) on Linux boxes not even 3 months earlier.

Yep. Got diagnosed with a genetic liver issue and the immediate rule from the doctor was “Nothing with acetominophen ever again. You can probably get away with a (alcoholic) drink or two a week, but don’t even think about acetominophen.”

My dumb ass had been practically living off Day and Nyquill.

Man, he still isn’t over how Thiel snubbed him with Paypal and how his original “x.com” online bank idea failed, is he?

For additional context, this was not a choice, but a requirement. The Linux Foundation is US based, and Torvalds is a US citizen. This was required due to current US sanctions against Russia, and was not just some sort of “Russia bad” thing from Torvalds that a lot of people are framing it as.

Or Card post format, with long actionbar.

For a bit more context than “really old”: I had an Intel Core 2 Duo in 2009.

I’ve lost count of the amount of posts and comment threads on here about “all the horrible ads and spyware” where the solution was to flip literally a single switch in Settings, Personalization.

I’m sorry, what about their comment made you think they were asking for reccomendations?

So… blocking an instance as a user just hides the instances communities, if I’m remembering the implementation details right. It doesn’t block interaction with the instances users. Stupidly misleading.

You’ll still need to block the users one by one.

Create the metrics that show RTO reduces productivity. It’s the only thing they even pretend to care about.
