While you’re not completely incorrect about it not being Linux’s fault, trying to gatekeep “anywhere outside of Steam support” is just as unhelpful as game developers not focusing on Linux.
Does that same logic extend to not-Steam’s ProtonDB, a 3rd party website for tracking how well games play on Linux using Proton?
In addition to rsync as phx mentioned, you can use photorec to get a deeper scan
You did well pointing that out. Imma just restate it here for those scrolling quickly:
we do participate in online targeted advertising and use analytics
When you need service, but data is blocked by all the steel in the ceiling/roof. I’ve used it, but with my VPN active. I wonder if they’re now going to try to block VPN services?
“Valleys” was the key word there. Even if the distance isn’t bad, a mountain between you and the broadcast tower can make 20 miles look like 70 in terms of signal

Yeah, this straight up happened to a dude I was rather fond of. We were working in desktop support for a big fintech company, and he used his not-quite-admin privileges to bypass the bootlock on the laptops for personal use. I warned him that it was a bad idea, he brushed it off. Was gone by the next week.
I provide technical support for lottery machines on Maine (and other states). Tomorrow’s gonna be fun…
I’ve seen the “Microsoft should just buy Unity” argument a lot lately. And while I think it’s probably a better management than current, I imagine Microsoft is hesitant having only just come out of a, what, 6 month long legal battle in US and EU courts regarding acquisition of ActiBliz? So a good idea, but one I can imagine might not happen…
To be fair, a considerable number of cartoons actively portray exactly that.
Because radio stations’ DJs would say “and here’s artist with song name”, I firmly believed that one of two things must be true:
Radio stations had the bands always playing live for them
And/or
Radio stations would present a local DJ, but they would then tune in to the artist playing the track live for a larger station
What’s even funnier about this is that my dad has at the time taught me how to use a tape deck to record radio and CDs to tape. So I clearly understood recording mediums. Just, the idea still lingered in my mind for a while.
That joke kinda sailed over your head there, mate
The only thing play protect has done “for” me lately was remove file access to Poweramp the day after I got it. Fuck Play Protect.
You mean we shouldn’t blindly trust random, almost entirely anonymous, users giving out executables to be run on the very same devices we do banking and important life paperwork on? Say it ain’t so!
God that’s accurate. Or how telling your phone to launch Kodi on the CCwGTV, it showing you feedback that recognizes the name (eg “Launch Kodi on Main Google TV”, but still coming back with, “I can’t do that”
You’re just launching an Android app! Don’t give me that bullshit!
With how Google marched backwards on cloud storage since the turn of the decade, GMail is getting even less promising. Once my wife and I finally move out of here, I’m going 100% self hosted, setting up my own email server, et al
In the same vein, Malicious Life is also good, though Ram is a bit difficult to understand.
I also love Smashing Security and Hacking Humans for the news side of Cyber Security
Has me wondering if ever we’ll reach a state where we just have battery packs like backpacks that we just wear as a daily habit, like putting a shirt on. It’ll charge up overnight, then go in a sleeve that’s machine washable (otherwise ew), and have a half dozen or so PD USB-C ports that we just tap into for phones, smart watches, laptops, etc
I mean, I imagine a primary reason is also that the mainline distros don’t use it by default, necessitating one to look for “spins/flavors/whatever” that use it instead.
Alphabet’s monopoly is bad, make no mistake.
But they aren’t controlling all electronic means of communication for 90% of the continental United States, as AT&T did in the ma’ bell and pa’ bell days.
