@bortzmeyer @catsaladBecause it's a reaction to them replying "just install Linux" when someone posts the smallest gripe about Windows

@randahlUntil the software license expires.Am I mistaken, or did we recently read about such a case?Anyway, I agree with her choice of color. I went to school with someone who had a skin colored prosthetic arm (much older type), that one was skin colored and looked creepy (uncanny valley). These look somewhere between gloves and cool futuristic tech.

@aevaI see you already got plenty of responses. My two cents:/proc and /sys are not distribution-dependent. It's controlled by the kernel, though udev may be capable of renaming some things (I know some setups rename network cards). Older kernels may have different ways of presenting the data, though.And distros (or users) may choose to mount /proc or /sys in different places, but that's rare, or even not mount them at all.(On the other hand, if you want to run under a different kernel, e.g. FreeBSD, expect a completely different interface).If you want to know what other programs do (e.g. upower), running them under strace gives a lot of info. E.g:strace -ff upower -e(-ff traces threads, usually not needed in command like programs).There are completely different interfaces like Netlink, but I don't know if that can be used for battery status.

@Life_is @CoMaps @GrapheneOSI'm curious what the GrapheneOS location service offers that GPS doesn't.Google location service tracks you, but GrapheneOS is supposed not to, so I guess it would offer something else?Also, does it not use the same API, and thus the same setting?

@Life_is @CoMaps @GrapheneOSIf they are talking about cell towers, fine, but if that includes other peoples wifi and bluetooth devices, that's still a privacy problem.Collecting random strangers' wifi ids was called "war-driving" before Apple and Google started doing it.

@GrapheneOS @Life_is @CoMapsI subscribe to neither the "look what she was wearing", nor the "everyone else is doing it too" excuses for why something isn't harmful.I guess I'll have to strike GrapheneOS off my list of privacy respecting Android versions.And just to be clear, GrapheneOS (and Apple and Google) does not have my consent to store or process any wireless id (including but not limited to ssid, mac, ip) belonging to me. See the GDPR for further information on what that means.

@GrapheneOS @Life_is @CoMapsThe GDPR is quite clear that only opt in is legal. Your repeated "everyone else is doing it" doesn't hold.Everyone else is doing it because they can afford to laugh at a 2 billion EUR fine, just to show that they are evil.

@GrapheneOS @Life_is @CoMapsMozilla is an advertising/AI company, people have yelled at them for their approach to privacy for years.

@ricciI once described it as "If intelligence is the ability to come up with new ideas, AI is the ability to predict the past".

Your fingerprint has expired. Please choose a new fingerprint to continue. You new fingerprint can not be the same as any of the 10 previous fingerprints you have used.Biometrics is an id, not a password.

Passwords and hardware devices also have an important safety feature that biometrics lack.When you are cornered by a large dude with a machete asking about your password, you can hand them over and save yourself.When he tells you to hand over your finger - or even worse, eye - you don't have a lot of options.This is usually the place where some nerd with no sense of reality bursts in to say that good fingerprint readers can detect a pulse and will refuse to scan a cut off finger. The question then is, is he really going to believe that after cutting off one of your fingers, or is he going to think that you told him the wrong finger and start cutting off fingers until he has one that works, or you run out of fingers?

@aralEven simpler: Look at the DNT http header.Only fall back to cookie notices when the browser doesn't send it.It was interesting how quickly Mozilla deprecated the DNT header after an EU court ruled that yes, it is a valid answer.

@raccoon @YawnEMITYou misunderstand, it's gay when neither of them are wearing a skirt. Or both.The most silly thing - they were designed to be gay, by showing two people, neither of them wearing a skirt. No rainbows or anything, neither of them wearing a skirt is officially what makes them gay.

What's up with cilantro? When I find an American recipe, there's like a 80% chance it needs cilantro. In Danish recipes I don't recall it ever being used (never mind that we call it coriander). I know my mother had some in her kitchen, but I don't know if she ever used it.What gives? Am I missing something? Is every Danish recipe missing something?

@davidrevoyThat's a good example of what "AI" really is: Predictive text."A witch and her ... cat" - what's the most statistically likely word to go there?
