Also, don’t keep it running if not needed.

can you enforce that with flatpak? I often see the notification that “X program is still running in the background” or something similar, but the flatpak permission settings did not seem to have such a setting

Privacy preserved, basically.

only if the browser cannot run in the background, and it cannot access any of your fikes, the DBus of your regular user’s session, and other facilities

Also, you’ll look odd holding your phone up to the screen.

just connect another display, set it to mirroring, and point a camera at that. or just use a video capture card.

except on firefox of course, because fuck you for even trying to protect a little bit of your privacy

you know, sometimes I wonder if Matrix could be used in a business setting, and worry about its rough edges and buggy features of Element. but you know what! it would probably be fine! not worse than teams, and at least they don’t want to fuck you over!

regarding the quote, will they just not let linux users connect to the call when that restriction is turned on?

edit: nvm, the article talks about that too

that site is weird, appends its domain in a “ref” parameter to any urls on it… wikipedia, youtube, amazon…

You elect lawmakers.

well I personally certainly don’t. I have too little power to do that, and I’m afraid too much care about non-existent made up problems, and too few about things like this.

Fascinating.

your response actually is! does not sound too genuine.

If you and I can agree that children shouldn’t be in casinos, then they shouldn’t be allowed into the casino. I am open to your suggestions.

children shouldn’t get uncontrolled access to smartphones. access needs to be controlled by the parent. For medicine and cleaning things most already know to place those items out of children’s reach. from this aspect, we would need to tackle the problem that the children obtains the parent’s phone. some small items, maybe cleaning appliances too, are made to have a bad bitter taste so that children don’t want to put them in their mouth. according to that pattern, we would need to mandate that online services are ugly and irritating to use. but is that the solution we actually want? I don’t think so. or could we just ban services that are tuned to make people addicted, like drugs? but how do we define that, and that too is a double edged sword.

but ultimately, we either make casinos unattractive, or make the parents be the casinos’ first line bouncers, in the digital world.
the first one sounds good, but the internet and even social media is not only for taking advantage of people, contrary to casinos.
the second one requires cooperation. how would you incentivise cooperation? tie benefits to it,or part of the benefits, through child protection services or something?

we need to get any smart glasses and similar banned from public spaces in europe that is capable of any kind of imaging

If this bad parenting happens often enough to be a real problem, then whining into the wind that “no one has any common sense anymore,” or whatever you’re doing, isn’t a solution.

of course thats not a solution. but what can you do? lawmakers wont make laws that make the parents responsible for their negligence. sometimes it’s not even intentional negligence, but that they don’t even know what should they do, and how can that be done

I do blame the game a little because it’s a game that really, really, really wants you to spend money on diamond gem funbucks.

that’s fair, I do too. I also blame all the commercial social networks, if I can call them that way

You don’t want to show your ID even though we all do that for alcohol—fine.

just let me remind you that that happens offline, and it is provable if copies are not preserved. normally you just show it and that’s it.

That is, unless you would like to spearhead this global movement to teach underprivileged parents how to configure their phones?

if someone cannot properly configure their phones, then they need to be made liable for the consequences their negligence causes.

this law is the result of bad parenting. if parents would parent, nothing like this would be needed

the issue is forcing everyone for giving up sensitive personal information.

yeah rly. the fuck are you talking about with “fuck sun”

tools like that were going big in the pandemic for online exams. Basically rootkits that fully compromise your machine

and what to use instead? run qemu commands and all the preparation by hand?

there’s proxmox, but that’s not a desktop solution.

there’s no sun anymore. It’s oracle

really interesting to see that they have more posts than comments

“everyone” yeah, in our bubble maybe. never underestimate the carelessness of the consumer

This post literally about Windows 10, which is not on anyone’s phone.

that does not make it 2005 design. if your metric is familiarity, then even kde plasma 6 will be “2005 design”

I don’t agree with them but I also disagree that 11 looks like XP. they are very far from each other. XP looked better even. I’m not joking.
