I have a Google Alert set up, so I get notified in case my name pops up on the web. A month after I joined a new company, I got an alert - turned out that their internal directory page was exposed to the public web. I was pretty livid - all this time I was proud of maintaining good anonymity, looking up my name never returned anything meaningful on Google. So I complained to my boss about this, and he said it was actually a bug/misconfiguration - which they were already aware of, but didn’t bother fixing it because no one complained. I was super pissed and made it very clear that it was a violation of my privacy and I wanted it taken down ASAP. Thankfully my boss was understanding and got it fixed. Then I had to report the page to Google. It took a while, but it was finally gone from the search results.

Then it’ll probably shock you even more when you realise that this thing is hosted on Github, a site owned by Microsoft… :)

… for now. They’ve already replaced the old Notepad with a bloated UWP version, so it probably won’t be long before it starts sending telemetry as well.

it is a stupidly simple working demo of DRM circumvention

A much more simpler method is to just use Streamfab. No need for nVidia, a second PC etc.

I that case, check out Fedora CoreOS.

https://www.talos.dev/

It runs entirely in RAM, administration is super simple, no ssh, easy to update/and upgrade, immutable, minimal distro designed specifically for secure container usage.

How about Gogs? The whole thing is < 30 MB, and is lightweight enough to run on a Raspberry Pi. You can even get a native binary package if you want to run it without the overhead of Docker.

The enshittification actually began several years ago, back when FB bought WhatsApp. That was the moment you gave up on privacy, the moment that was a clear sign that it was all going to go downhill from there. If y’all didn’t quit WhatsApp at that time, then you bought it upon yourselves. The truth is, you’ve been using a shitty service for a long time and whoring your data to Meta and making Zuckerberg richer, so this latest feature bloat or w/e isn’t the least bit interesting.

Yep

#Roombas, roll out!

But fear not, the Swat Kats are on their way to save the day!

Cue Swat Kats theme

Yep, just use the rectangular selection from the edge panel and you can save it as a screenshot or extract the text.

Native Alpha is an opensource alternative.

That was a hilarious read. Thanks for sharing!

Probably Oblivion and Skyrim. Depends on the controls though, some PC games require a mouse and keyboard to play (like Age of Empires), so it would be interesting to see how they handle button mapping and mouse drags/gestures.

Here’s my take:

May need a bit of tweaking though to suit your tastes, especially light mode. The current color options are a bit limited.

{
  "monet_override_light_secondary_text_color": "#93A1A1",
  "monet_override_light_primary_text_color": "#657B83",
  "monet_override_light_link_color": "#073642",
  "monet_boost_light_color": false,
  "monet_override_dark_secondary_text_color": "#657B83",
  "monet_override_dark_primary_text_color": "#93A1A1",
  "monet_override_dark_link_color": "#B58900",
  "monet_boost_dark_color": true,
  "monet_color_intensity": 0.6,
  "monet_manual_theme_color": "#002B36",
  "monet_system": false
}

{
  "monet_override_light_secondary_text_color": "#93A1A1",
  "monet_override_light_primary_text_color": "#657B83",
  "monet_override_light_link_color": "#073642",
  "monet_boost_light_color": false,
  "monet_override_dark_secondary_text_color": "#657B83",
  "monet_override_dark_primary_text_color": "#93A1A1",
  "monet_override_dark_link_color": "#B58900",
  "monet_boost_dark_color": true,
  "monet_color_intensity": 0.6,
  "monet_manual_theme_color": "#002B36",
  "monet_system": false
} 

In both cases though, there is a legal requirement to prove that you’re above legal age to buy/consume alcohol. However, there’s is no legal requirement to provide such information to a social media platform.

Yes, in theory. In practice, Github has become a hub for such living documents, especially in the Linux/OSS world, so it isn’t strange for people to look there for guides and recommendations.

I’m not opposed to it, but is there demand for it to be on GitHub?

There is! These sort of guides are best suited to be hosted at Github/lab because of their dynamic nature. Any recommendations and “best practice” today might easily become outdated tomorrow in this fast-moving Linux world! Plus you can have contributors too submitting corrections and updates (if you wish to merge 'em), so you’re not left alone doing all the work.

Here’s an example of one such guide I’ve used in the past that’s still being updated:

https://github.com/AdelKS/LinuxGamingGuide

AudioEncoder (bug 1749046) doesn’t really have any dependencies or blockers, as far as I can tell. If there are, then you (or whoever has access) should update Bugzilla and add the dependency there.
