seeing as copilot says at the start of every conversation that it will be recorded, not to mention their massive (non)privacy policy and terms of use, this isn’t really news. this is just a fact

alternate headline: company looks at data they tell you they will monitor

I kinda assumed this was the case, and some higher ups likely know this too. I know in Ontario, when you get fingerprinted by the police, it’s not just your fingers, they’ll take your whole palm print. Billions of people in the world, very unlikely anyone is 100% unique.

OpenSUSE Tumbleweed. It’s been great having a rolling release distro that I don’t have to worry about breaking with updates

Ugh, the possibility of accurate reporting and display of what’s really going on?

DISGUSTING! Sweep it under the rug and spout opinions as facts!

I switched to Vivaldi a couple months ago, and previously used brave in the past before growing to dislike it. It surprises me how many brave-heads ignore Vivaldi’s existence. It’s just a better Brave. No crypto BS and lots of poweruser features.

It’s almost like if they want people to not hate their country they should stop being a corrupt authoritarian hellhole

Both Sludge Life games. A bit unconventional but I found a lot of spots in the games where I would just stand there and take in the various scenes going on. Both games can be beaten fairly quick but it took me hours to get through them because I kept stopping to just take in everything going on.

Signal already said that they’re willing to leave the UK if the UK goes ahead with their E2EE backdoor law. I can see more companies doing the same if the government keeps insisting that every foreign company complies with their bullshit.

Please. I live on one of the busier streets in my town, right by an intersection. The amount of people driving by with cars that sound like someone’s farting through a megaphone are insanely obnoxious. Fuck, most the time they’re shit boxes that go slower than normal cars. People in my area buy cheap, shitty cars, pay to have a falsified safety, then make them loud and obnoxious while slowing down traffic because their cars can barely accelerate.

openSUSE will welcome you and your friends :)

Same but jellyfin

Yes this. It’s great that a national news source is embracing the fediverse. This is their instance for those who haven’t seen it.

It’s an experiment set for 6 months, but the more people who support it the more likely it will become permanent.

Having a similar problem on endeavour os. When I try to sleep or hibernate it gives it a shot but I get a quick flash of a message about a device preventing sleep. Nothing plugged into the laptop, no fancy built in accessories.

Fediverse.observer is a good resource for sorting through and finding different instances for all types of activitypub platforms. There are pages for Lemmy and Kbin among plenty of others. That’s how I found the instance I’m currently on, and I’m pretty happy with it.

Don’t know specifics, but this is Canada’s worst fire season since 1990.

100 companies have contributed over 70% of greenhouse gas emissions. Only 100.

Do you really think that an average joe can make a difference? The blame doesn’t lay on ordinary people. Us polluting is a byproduct of corporations polluting.

I wish news would stop saying the broad term human activity and more accurately say corporate activity.

Yes, the general population contributes to climate change, but the real polluters are the big companies manufacturing things, big oil, etc. They don’t care about what they’re doing and lobby govt’s to put the blame on the citizens.

If amazon was solely a marketplace they may have an argument but seeing as they’re arguing the content moderation and targeted advertising to kids, they seem to be forgetting they own twitch, a very large online platform that serves ads out the ass
