Hello
The fuck? Get off the internet for a bit and touch some grass
They serve different purposes, what’s wrong with having both bikes and cars? People live outside of cities too, you know
On the surface it is true, but in reality all of those things came at the expense of people’s liberty and the people themselves - they jailed or killed anyone that didn’t agree with or was seen as an enemy of the state, resources were actually incredibly scarce and there was a lot of famine (just in the less important parts of the empire), nobody trusted anyone and people kept stealing things for themselves anyway. Oh also child labor and many many more things like that.
Like I understand the good part of communism, but oh God is the USSR the worst possible example of that, they didn’t even have real communism anyway.
Is the recent XZ backdoor (and something that had to do with SSH too) anything to worry about in terms of the probability of there being a backdoor even in open source router software?
Not trying to dissuade anyone here, I love open source software, I’m just wondering how much effort is reasonable to be put into securing your local network (i.e. buying your own router, also installing open source software, or writing your own router software if you don’t trust existing solutions) given that not everyone is tech savvy and you get diminishing returns for every additional security measure. And when is the usual point at which you would say “okay, this is secure enough”?
My router is not from an ISP, but it does get frequent firmware updates and I don’t use any cloud management features, only local configuration.
I’m curious, does running open source software somehow exempt you from getting malware?
That’s why you don’t see any ads
Do you live in the EU?
Verifying your identity before posting potentially illegal content is a great deterrent against doing so, especially when it’s original content.

What the fuck are you on about saying “having every behaviour and text sent to Microsoft” and “arguing that Windows should be the number one”. He never said that, nor does anyone say that, get your head out your ass.
He said “Windows suits me”. That’s it, stfu.
I love loved how when Microsoft published docs on how to install and configure Linux on their desktop PCs, everyone was like “wtf??? Do they hate money?” completely missing the fact that home edition Windows is probably bringing them nothing or close to nothing, and that the real money is in B2B.
I love you how specified “as far as I know” even though it’s literally your native language lmao
🤦♂️Yes, in that sense, English could be gendered. But what it actually means is that English used to be gendered and retains some gendered words from that time.
Another example, Russian has noun cases, but not the vocative case. However, it does have two words that have a vocative case from when the language as a whole did use to have the vocative case - Бог (Боже) and Господь (Господи) - but that doesn’t mean that Russian has it now.
Also, blond/blonde are pronounced the same so the distinction is lost in speech and probably soon in writing as well, and words like fiancé/fiancée (which are also pronounced the same), widow/widower, actor/actress do not signify grammatical gender by itself.
Lithuanian, you got it right! Though you could’ve guessed any Slavic language too, so it’s weird you picked Lithuanian
This one is missing the “non-stick spray cooking” with an image of a flamethrower
English is not a grammatically gendered language. Otherwise, all languages have gender.
Yeah, there are clueless people everywhere, but I’m still glad that it’s easy to get generic medicine.
To be fair, you cannot force people to buy generic, let people make their own, though preferably informed, decisions.
I know it as “ceet”, but my language pronounces that part as “tset”.
Yeah but he was being pedantic over the word “impossibly”. If we can make 1 atom thin sheets, then it’s not impossible, right?
