Most EU countries have been demilitarizing for 30 years more and more, with the strategy being "it’s a new world without wars, and also big daddy USA will protect us,l

That’s not the Europe I see now and sounds like a US President trope. I would agree that post-Cold War that was the case, but I’d say in the last decade at least, it’s not.

But, genuine question as I’m open to being wrong, saved this is an area that interests me, do you have sources for this?

What are people’s go-to for eBook buying stores? Preferably DRM free.

I try to not buy Kindle books but I usually end up back there as it’s either much cheaper (not just slightly) or can only be found there.

no one gives a shit what kids are doing on their devices

Except Joe. And people like Joe. Whose surveillance of kids is now not only easier, but sanctioned.

Being up to date is the entire point and so typically there are only global options to either grab those updates from the vendor or host them internally on a central server but you wouldn’t want to slow roll or stage those updates since that fundamentally reduces the protection from zero days and novel attacks that the product is specifically there to detect and stop.

That’s not your, or Crowdstrikes, decision to make. If organizations have applied settings to not install updates automatically then that’s what they expect to happen and you need to honour it. You don’t “know best”. They do.

You might want to include that information in your original post. You are telling people over and over that their suggestions are too expensive. You’re wasting peoples time.

Your title indicates otherwise so might be worth amending it.

I believe this is a hardware issue. Have you checked the USB options in the BIOS?

I may have missed something.

Firefox 127 has introduced privacy tweaks that are causing user dissatisfaction, particularly due to changes like the separation of normal and private windows on the taskbar and the closing of private tabs when the main instance closes on iOS.

This sounds like it would be the expected behaviour?

• Despite user complaints, the update includes new privacy and security enhancements such as upgrading subresources from HTTP to HTTPS and masking CPU architecture to reduce fingerprinting.

This sounds like a good thing?

• Mozilla plans to address user feedback by reintroducing the “browser.privateWindowSeparation.enabled” preference as an opt-in and adding more intuitive privacy settings in future updates.

This sounds like a good thing?

The link I posted said this:

In the U.S., Google charges individual users $14 per month for YouTube Premium, which limits ads and offers a few additional features.

So it ‘limits ads’ which means there are still ads.

You pay $14 per month and you STILL get ads?!?!

WTF!?

I use Debian 12. I use Spotify. And I don’t have this issue.

What I have had is various issues with kernel 6.1.0-21. I’m currently using 6.1.0-18 on my laptop and 6.1.0-15 on my desktop and the issue I had are gone. Because of my experience, I’d suggest trying those kennels.

Just to confirm it also works with the Logitech C930e that the OP has. This is what I use it for.

People at the Post Office and Fujitsu need to go to jail over this.

It won’t happen. They’ll get away with it. Same as ever.

Thank you. Seems like an interesting tool!

Genuine question. What’s the difference between this and rsync?

I wasn’t implying criticism isn’t allowed.

But opinions on what somebody should do with their time and project are just that.

Feedback must be given in a respectful way or it’s not effective. That often doesn’t happen with open-source projects and until we change the culture around open-source, this is going to just keep happening.

Opinions ate like assholes. Everybody has one. Doesn’t mean its relevant or important. The number of intelligent people who confuse opinion with fact never fails to astound me.

I agree.

Playing Devils Advocate it sounds like the options, for them, would be to stop providing a non-paying version entirely.

I understand where they are coming from but providing an open source version that won’t get timely security updates feels like it would be more trouble than it’s worth to use.

If they only want to work on a version that pays for their time I’d suggest they make the whole thing closed source.

The self-entitlement in open-source has to stop. This is only one example of a maintainer quitting. There are many more.

And the shaming of projects who want to make money to sustain their projects also has to stop. Nothing is free. Somebody is paying for it in time, resources or money.

If you don’t like what a project is doing, or how they’re monetizing, don’t use it. Move on.

I ended up going to VMware Workstation as it just works. I could never get KVM to share between Linux and Windows host / guest no matter what I tried. Samba wasn’t an option for me to use.

I’m really glad there seems to now be a potential solution in wsdd2.

Found them in the app. I had ‘Use System Languages’ selected. Changed that now.

Will see if it works any better. Thank you.
