Holy shit, I remember being excited for 2.4 because of iptables. That was over twenty years ago.

He’s definitely on the jazz!

I was one of those people. I still maintain hope, but the fear of what the algorithms will do outweighs that hope some days.

The thinking was that people’s core opinions are formed while they are young. They are mostly inherited from your family and society around you, so that information bubbles are formed early that are hard to break out of.

I thought that if people were exposed to multiple cultures and ideas from a young age through the Internet, they would understand them better – not just as foreign concepts told to them through a thick lens of bias from their parents and teachers.

However, I failed to predict the opposite powers. First were the echo chambers that formed, strengthening the deepest dark sides of humanity that, before, were kept locked away in basements lacking anyone with whom to discuss and provide validity. Then the corpos and MBAs figured out they could psychology game us all with algorithms. They didn’t necessarily know at first that the negative content would be the best for driving engagement; but they didn’t care either.

So right now I think the bad is outweighing the good. But I don’t think it has to stay this way forever.

Yeah, this is FSKAX over 3 years. I have a lot of my portfolio in it and it does well. It’s up 24% over that period.

A) Nope. You’re spreading FUD. Got a link?

B) I’m ignoring you. You’re talking gibberish.

B2) You’re still wrong and in over your head. Remember, the ask was for an out of box solution for full drive encryption, silently decrypted via TPM (using Secure Boot’s PCR 7) that still supports OS hibernation.

C) Wut?

A) You’ve said nothing relevant. We already knew all of this. Recall isn’t being installed or turned on on any of my Windows boxes. Copilot is dumb but it isn’t collecting any data you don’t voluntarily feed it.

B) I don’t disagree with whatever point you’re trying to make but it has nothing to do with Windows. Unless you know something we don’t?

B2) You’re lying

B3) What?!

C) You’re initiating searches through the Microsoft Windows Start Menu™ and are mad it’s launching Edge? Do I have that right?

A) None of that has actually happened. If you want to back down from hyperbole and provide specific examples, I will consider addressing them.

B) The U.S. Government is not an adversary in my threat model. If it is one in yours, I assume you are running Qubes OS, which is a completely different conversation. With Windows, I have access to Secure Boot and TPM-backed full drive encryption (including hibernation support) out of the box. Can you do that with Linux? Also, you know as well as everyone else here that the MSA requirement is easy to bypass.

C) Again, provide specifics. I don’t default any of my apps to Microsoft’s and this just doesn’t happen.

I’m sorry, I don’t get it. For what are we coping?

I should have mentioned that I still love Linux though…

So where do those of us who don’t think Windows is the literal worst OS ever fit into your analogy?

Then you apply the scientific method and/or research in search of truth.

You’re not missing much. A few modern file types are zips with expected folder structures, especially MSOffice files. But this is nowhere near universally true.

You can open a file in your text editor of choice and if you see it start with PK (for Phil Katz the creator of the format and the original PKZIP/PKUNZIP programs) then it’s probably a zip.

Also, by the logic of the OP, all DLLs are EXEs.

While private prisons are abhorrent and unconscionable, they aren’t even close to the root cause of our prison problem. Hint: it’s systemic racism and our militarized police culture.

Louisiana, the #1 on the list supposedly had 0 private prison inmates in 2021. Blaming private prisons at this point almost feels like deflecting from the real issues.

Yeah that sounds about right.

There’s no way you need to somehow eat more to lose weight. Are you sure you’re counting your calories correctly? Using an app? Tracking everything, especially drinks like sodas and alcohol?

Enjoy!

Use a Chromium browser to inspect the cert.

If anyone knows how to get Firefox to show a bad cert before loading the page, I’d love to know.

Assuming you’re the one adding HSTS, you’ll have to inspect the cert and/or view the content that is getting returned. On desktop Chromium you can type “thisisunsafe” to load a page even with HSTS. Not sure how to do it on mobile FF.

Would seem weird for it to be intercepting your domain’s traffic but not the rest of the internet.

Edit: just noticed you’re not even loading an SSL page. Are you using https in the URL?
