Gotta respect boycotting Cloudflare on principle.. but also, why?
...well, is he wrong? Exploiting kids is the most lucrative endeavour. In fact, if we're going by piece meal and not lump sum, young people are a fat wad of cash.
So of course you knew we need to take every musical art form and turn it into sensory overload on stilts, because money.
Your little crotchgoblins are a path to your wallet.
That exactly it. M$ execs look at this stat and probably go "we need to make it more unsecure, for the shareholders - of course."
In some cases, that's still not possible for m, although my personal laptop that I use daily runs Fedora Atomic.
But I also recently reinstalled another laptop with Windows 11, promptly stripped the whole thing of all kinds of apps and services, installed a bunch of audio software, libraries, etc, to prepare a machine to be show worthy.
When the day comes and Ableton ports Live to Linux proper is when I will forego a bulk of my VST's, but running it under wine for real-time purposes is not reliable at all - so eh. There's Bigwig, but I got like years of Max patches that I just can't live without, and I don't need just a DAW. In fact, if you ask me to leave Live, I'll tell you to fly a kite.
Same issue it's always been, unfortunately, that vendors do not support the Linux desktop. Go bother the vendors about platform supoort. I do, frequently. In fact, time for another ticket - and this one is going to be political.
Thanks for the reminder.
So I'm trying to figure out a way to jip Microsoft. We've already got a way to activate windows for free, but LTSC images need to be available - because that's where we get away from Microsoft's bullshit.
Unless Microsoft removes access to DISM and gp, we'll still be able to cut off that "always online" limb.
Such is writing policy. Mayhaps it needs to be reformed down the line as well.
Public-private key signing, using up to date cryptography. That's it. It's also "quantum safe", because all cryptography used by the public goes through peer review processes.
Microsoft as well as Meta have contracted Whisper Systems, but there's no way of guaranteeing that the signing process is functionally working or if it's been broken. If it's run server side, you have no clue. If it's run client side, there's still a question if the process hasn't been tampered with in some way.
Remember: there is no such thing as cryptography with a backdoor. At that point, it's just a secrets system.
By all means. After Apple has painted themselves in a corner, when the legislation has been loophole proofed, that's when Apple gets hit in the face with the Brussels effect - like a big, floppy, dong slapped across Steve Apple's mouth in every country out there.
I'll do a dance for every country. I'll do a shimmy for Botswana, a conga for Japan, a shake for Sebia, etc, etc.
Slap! Other cheek. Slayap! Other cheek! And so on and so forth.
Hopefully.
This is probably the best approach. You could pass thru relative USB ports and even a GPU to do things on the Windows VM that you can't do in Wine.
But how does that work? Isn't windows rigged to discover if you're running it in a VM to go "sowwy :( but this is an enterprise feature. Money please~!"
...yes, that's what I said. But sign them locally. Do not put your private key on Protons service. Sign and distribute pub keys locally.
Probably should have clarified.
Also, paid IMAP/SMTP makes Proton a freemium service. Thought I should just underline that.
