@stux the concern I've been hearing is that they're going to "scrape and sell" content on the fediverse. That also doesn't make sense to me as they can already do that by creating accounts on instances and just sitting there. They don't need this new platform to do it.

@BrodieOnLinux @f00fc7c8 This would probably be enough for me to stop using the software. I think generally these kinds of pop-ups only belong as part of a first time setup wizard or otherwise immediately post-install. No an update doesn't count for this context.Unexpected and unknown pop-ups, especially recurring ones, will always inspire ill-will which is not going to encourage donations. You're making the assumption that a user can stop and read what you're presenting them at the moment they're actively trying to accomplish a task.I know open source funding is hard but recurring pop-ups is not the way. It won't meaningfully move your funding needle, you'll get issues around them, have to continuously justify your position, maintain them, fight forks trying to remove pop-ups, and ultimately just make the experience for your users worse.

@BrodieOnLinux @f00fc7c8 I specifically don't use Thunderbird but sounds like they have aggressive regular pop-ups? From the tone I'd also assume it's a personal frustration of yours...

@BrodieOnLinux @f00fc7c8 Yeah that sounds pretty reasonable and well thought through. It's also an explicit example of not doing a pop-up.

@hn50 Debunked if you go into the discussion. Author didn't understand what the code was doing and it certainly isn't limiting cores.

@hehemrin I don't think there is any reason for any laptop or desktop to not use full disk encryption. For desktops I'm perfectly comfortable with automatic unlocking of the encrypted partition based on the measured secure boot state (if you're going to do this with laptops at least set a companion pin).Servers are a special case that have unique requirements but my general answer matches the desktop one if it's feasible. There are SO many asterisks on servers though.

@john I don't post terribly often but I am working on an intersection of knowledge systems, language models, and security systems and I do like talking about it. There are just a lot of toxic anti-AI people kicking around you can't hold a discussion with.
