I use a seedbox abroad and secure ssh to transfer stuff to my own server. Don’t see what additional security a vpn would give me.

I just read the entire bd. Fun read. The story of Arn, the final one in the book, was a great read. Felt like an ancient Greek myth. And the art was phenomenal at times.

Thx for the recommendation.

Cool little story. Always a big fan of that style of artwork. I’ll have to look into that series, had never heard of it.

Or native gestures in Firefox. Either would be perfect.

Is there a single good article on Forbes? It’s always fucking clickbait without actual content.

Yeah, as long as Firefox (or a fork) doesn’t have native gestures, I can’t fulltime swap to it. Gestures addons are not the same. Anyone that used vivaldi (or opera) for any serious length of time knows what I mean.

I’m very happy my 12y old kid can’t just sideload shit nilly willy. He legit Googles minecraft hacks and downloads random apks and stuff if he gets the chance)

(his phone is also fully locked down with parental because a 12y old should have free reign on the internet, but that’s beside the point)

I work for a large eu government agency. Why the hell they still insist that we promote our workings on Twitter completely eludes me. It does not make any sense whatsoever. They should get off and stop promoting that cesspool. Go to any of the myriad of competitors or just go back to Facebook and Instagram…

Ofcourse not, I also use fdroid and I sideload a shitton of apps. But Google is not killing off alternate stores, they’re just making their store safer. My whole point is that this change is not that negative. If anything it’ll have a positive effect on non tech savvy users. It’ll save me time by potentially causing less issues on the devices of family members.

That final part isn’t really Google’s fault no? But just the devs cutting functions?

Yeah, I read it. Didn’t think much of it. Are those apps that common? Don’t use them, as my browser can read pdf and text files.

Sounds more like some fringe apps will get caught in the cross hairs. Still sounds like a good change for the average end user. For the average power user, it won’t make a difference imo.

I mean, I know lemmy has an open source hardon and hates anything walled, but is this really such a bad thing? Google is getting rid of a bunch of shitty apps and risky apps. Nothing is stopping you from still sideloading them if you really need them.

I really fail to see the actual issue aside from “google bad”

Cool. That was a fun quiz. Thx for the answers :)

Have to check out a few of them!

8. Rataplan!

Also, going through my own comics, The asterix one (3) is ofcourse Idefix! Forgot he didn’t appear right from the start. Haven’t read them in ages!

That’s where my guesses end. I have not read any of the other comics. I did found out that Wake is from the first panel. Looks cool, will check it out.

Oh, 8 must be the brothers dalton?

The art style of 10 reminds me of Johan and Peewit, but I’m probably wrong. Don’t know the comic enough to remember individual characters. Also looks a bit like Smurfs. Basically Peyo artstyle :)

Pfew, hard one

1. No clue
2. Bianca castafiore
3. Could be so many characters, no idea :)
4. Never read it
5. Kriss van Valnor? No idea for the remaining ones.

My European comic knowledge is very limited :) Should have more Jommeke, Kiekeboe and Suske and Wiske! ;)

Yes, I read it. Outside reputable company found no wrong doing. LTT released a statement. By mentioning the lawsuit, they also shut down speculation that they have a weak position.

OP of that post projects their own horrible experience onto LTT. They add nothing at all to the situation, they don’t offer any new proof whatsoever. Fuck that tbh. I feel sorry for their personal experience, but this has nothing to do with whole Madison story.

When the Madison story came out, I unsubbed from LTT. Always believe the victim. But then more and more info came out that cast quite some doubt on the veracity of the whole story.

Now it sounds more like an employee that had an (maybe very much so for them) unpleasant experience at a company and lashed out. Turns out the work company wasn’t as bad as she made it out to look. Shit happens.

You did see the report they released right? Outside consultant coming to the conclusion no egregious things happened? I’d give them the benefit of the doubt at this point tbh.

I’ll never understand the people that have their photo archive linked to a chat app.

Where I live, line is the de facto standard. Soooo many people don’t use any backup and just count on line to manage their pictures. Some dude went viral for losing 10years worth of family pictures when he went from iPhone to android. Line is a shit all that doesn’t do any migration past 14days when changing os.

Just use Google photos and never think about it again? Or use self hosted stuff if you don’t like the cloud. But for the love of God, don’t count on the chat app…

Get a cheap new phone number? Your potential employer will find out your identity eventually when you start working there no? What’s the issue with having to use ID to get a new line? You put a fake name on your resume?

There’s things like taking privacy too far you know :)
