We have confiscated all the laptops we could find sir. They had a TERMINAL open. Filthy hackers!

This. I used to have a bunch of the games backed up on a hard drive because copying the files over & patching was faster than redownloading it.

Tabs for indenting and spaces for aligning. There. Everybody wins and loses.

This way the code always looks aligned and if you prefer 4 spaces for a tab instead of 2 or 3 or 8 you can just set it in your IDE.

Crisis averted!

Not to mention that if you want to type it in somewhere ( like your car for a Spotify account or whatever ) a passphrase like Hunter7-Tower-Ballsy9 is easier to type than some random gibberish with special chars.

In many places WhatsApp is the defacto standard unfortunately…

If its not that its something like Viber, or badoo or telegram or some other nightmare service…

If you have kids there is also not really getting away from it. Friends of mine have never had Facebook accounts until they had kids because the local football team or boyscout or whatever only uses Facebook to communicate…

I agree you can live your life comfortably without meta services, but sometimes, like in the example above, you dont have any alternatives…

You can’t keep harassing other parents to forward you messages or ask the team to print any messages specifically for you. Not having a Facebook account just gets “its easy to create” responses rather than “completely understandable, here’s our private matrix server to stay in the loop”.

Note: codium and codeium are two completely separate products.

Anonimity is keeping your identity private, but not your actions.

Privacy is keeping your actions hidden, but not your identity.

Using a VPN will hide your IP and make you more anonymous online. Using a personal CC to buy the vpn does not compromise that and does not defeat the purpose at all.

Only if your specific account ID is compromised could the personal CC be used against you by identifying you. E.g.: “they” found your bad email in an inbox of somebody who is less privacy conscious and are trying to figure out who festybear69@... is.

It depends on what your use-case/threat model is.

I think bitwarden checks all the boxes. It’s 3.33$ per month for a family plan ( 6 users). I’ve used it for a long time and I’m happy with it.

If you want more privacy you can always self host vault warden and use that. In which case you have full access to the premium features and you just pay the hosting costs.

Bitwarden can be set as the default password manager in browsers. Stores TOTP codes, has a browser plugin, has android app and iOS app.

Works flawlessly in my experience ( Linux/macbook/android).

No experience with iphones, but I assume it is fully supported.

Fuck detailed work logging. Best I can do is tell you how much time I spent per client in increments of 30mins.

I think you greatly overestimate the average person’s ability to understand even the most basic code. Let alone in multiple languages.

Ah yes. Aria 52. I’ve heard so much about it. The actual location of the aliens. Instead of area 52: the tourist attraction

Yeah it is kind of like the “trust, but verify” paradigm. It will likely generate useful code or a very good starting point, but you should always check if it actually does what you expect it to.

You can’t trust them blindly. But They’re very helpful in your day to day tasks.

What bugs? I dont think I’ve actually run into any bugs?

Blizzard used to do that as well with world of Warcraft updates IIRC ( during vanilla )

They dont need to know any commands.

Everything in Linux is point and click. There’s an app store where you’ll find everything you’ll need. You will not need to open the terminal at all. All drivers will get installed through the OS.

Only things which do not work are the keyboard software and stuff to map macros to your keys and/or mouse buttons ans tweak the colours. Like the Razor software.

Distros like Ubuntu, popos, Linux mint are incredibly beginner friendly. There are, without a doubt, others.

They didn’t need to know any cmd/powershell commands using windows and they definitely don’t need to know how to use a Linux terminal to browse/mail/install software on Linux.

I am stealing this.

We do this to find criminals, drugsdealers, paedophiles and terrorists. MEPS are never part of any of those groups.

Source: trust me bro >.>

Rules for thee and not for me.

Well. Now seems to be a good time to be ashamed to be Belgian.

Shameful politicians :(

Windows: does something privacy invading bad

Google: why didn’t I think of that? Hold my beer

And fucking fine them to infinity for it. Why would they not do something like this again if all they have to do is say “my bad bro”.
