  • France will replace Microsoft Teams, Google Meet, Zoom, Webex and others with its own sovereign video conferencing application "Visio" for public officials

  • ... Pretty much every CPU contains backdoors, not just american ones. The Chinese government does the exact same thing as the American government. They are two sides of the same coin but the Chinese government seems more competent and efficient unlike the US government.

    Even if the hardware doesn't have backdoors, the firmware often will, which you also can't get around with software.

    The tier after that is software which also has a lot of back doors, luckily, you can run Linux and open source software. That is the best you can do. Really the only thing you can "trust" not to have backdoors is MCUs because those backdoors are much more likely to need physical access.

    Sadly, our entire tech world is built on backdoors and intentional security flaws to enable easier debugging, recovery, and compliance with government law enforcement after the sale.

  • TikTok uninstalls are up 150% following U.S. joint venture

    Jump

  • Now you can see 30 of the same reposted tiktok spam blasting low quality live music instead of 10!

    Oh well I guess it doesn't matter anyway because if you try to update the app anyway it just downloads an invalid APK lol

  • What kind of job can you never imagine yourself doing?

    Jump

  • Deep sea diving repairs.

    You have to go into a pressure chamber as soon as humanly possible when you arrive from the deep void of nothingness or else you rupture and die. If anyone needs a union it is those guys. They should be paid 3x the ceo's salary.

    Also, sketch YouTube comedians like Smosh, Dropout, etc... I couldn't be "on" doing comedy for 6-8 hours a day recording constantly.

  • DHS Shooting Victim in Minneapolis Was a ‘Sweet’ and ‘Principled Person’

    Jump

  • You realize that the same people saying what you described above, are still saying that he was charging at ice with a gun and he had it coming

    I know you are pointing out how hypocritical and racist and misogynistic much of the US is, but they literally have no morals, red lines, or any actual convictions and every time someone else is killed, it didn't effect them so "it was lawful and the other guy is a terrorist who had it coming". You can go on any corporate social media and see it all over the comments from boot lickers.

  • ‘What the f*ck did you do?!’ Video contradicts DHS claims about killing of Alex Pretti

    Jump

  • Lol, if that were true, they should be shouting from the rooftops because after this, people will be scrambling to get guns when an occupying private military starts executing civilians on the street.

  • Microsoft gave FBI a set of BitLocker encryption keys to unlock suspects' laptops: Reports | TechCrunch

    Jump

  • Are you naive enough to believe the surveillance OS that uploads literally all of your activity along with screenshots of your desktop doesn't automatically upload you keys no matter what little box you tick on the installer?? 😂 there is absolutely not one single 3rd party auditing that they actually follow any of the options at all that they give.

  • Ring Cameras Join Flock and Amazon to Now Create Direct Data Access for ICE

    Jump

  • That is simply not true.

    Here in the EU we have chat control trying to be forced through every year for mass surveillance and targeting like Spain targeting catalan independence movements.

    Palantir is starting to expand into the EU and american fash-tech companies have been lobbying hard and giving money to fascist parties across the EU. Musk gave unprescidented money of AfD fascists, for example.

    UK has been getting more and more fascist for years, they have had mass surveillance for years and have been arresting people for simply attending zoom meetings supporting a country being killed off en-masse. Palantir literally just landed a £240 million deal with the UK government

    We don't have an ICE problem yet. Neither did america 10 years ago. It is being pushed HARD here to create an ICE problem.

  • ICE agents pull guns on police officers 'of color' and demand papers: MN chief

    Jump

  • If cops have qualified immunity that is very often used to say cops can easily get away with murder, and agents have Vance blanket twitter pardons, can they just all kill each other with no legal consequences?

  • Nova Launcher gets a new owner and... ads

    Jump

  • Mariadb got bought by a private equity strip miner company late 2024, so it will probably be mined for every enshittification possible before thrown on the garbage heap like every company private equity has acquired before it.

    (It always takes a few years of inefficient planning before private equity starts rolling out enshittification)

  • Jesus H. Christ

    Jump

  • If there are side effects, then the god is not all powerful like the bible claims.

    The thing is, the bible was written by corrupt and greedy humans, the bible has been selected (many books left out or included) by corrupt and greedy humans, modified by corrupt and greedy humans, and translated by corrupt and greedy humans.

    If I wrote a book and claimed "it is the direct word of god and this god is the only god that is all powerful and all knowing and better than your god" that doesn't make it true. That is literally what happened thousands of years ago, and nobody could refute it or argue against it because the only people who were literate or educated at all were the elite who had a vested interest in control and order

    If there is a god and any of his word actually made it into the cherry picked bible, it is so mangled and corrupted beyond recognition as to be useless and unrecognizable, and people STILL have corrupted it so much further daily that they do not follow a single point of the bible. What makes anyone think that people back then were magically less hateful and had absolute 100% integrity even though there was significantly more war and corruption than now.

  • There is very little personal to talk about that gets organically brought up in the workplace, I've found. Maybe they are trying to include you more or latching on to something that is genuinely interesting instead of the boring normal shit like talking about the weather, sports, or more work.

  • What are your favorite healthy snacks?

    Jump

  • Cheese and cold cuts (maybe besides chicken/turkey cuts, but especially anything salami or sausage related) I would argue are not healthy. Better than the worst of the worst like ice cream, desserts, and candy, but it is just saturated fan + saturated fat + a small amount of protein, zero fiber, and not many vitamins or minerals.

    Very tasty, and fine to snack on in small amounts, but literally any edible plant, nut, fruit, yogurt, legume, or even things like granola or protein bars have much more nutritional content.

  • ICE agents ate at a Minnesota Mexican restaurant before arresting staff

    Jump

  • Republicans have literally fought tooth and nail to be able to refuse service to anyone (in their case, LGBTQ people, disabled people, and black people) which absolutely can and should be used to the fullest extent against them.

  • About “fauxpen source”, FUTO, fascists and capitalism

    Jump

  • I mean, immich is still awesome and as far as anyone can tell, nothing has changed.

    Giving money to immich isn't giving money to FUTO as far as anyone can tell.

    The immich developer also probably didn't have the resources to do a deep dive into FUTO before being sponsored, so they likely didn't know.

    I also use immich and I will continue to do so, but it is just something to keep in mind.

  • DOJ won’t investigate killing of Minneapolis woman shot by ICE

    Jump

  • They have been under constant Russian DDoS attack since it was announced (what a coincidence).

    They need to put out like 100 torrents and file shares in different locations

  • About “fauxpen source”, FUTO, fascists and capitalism

    Jump

  • I got told off a while ago when immich got funding when I said that FUTO seems quite fishy and I didn't believe that there were no strings attached with immich. Everyone said "oh they are just a great open source grant org" when I questioned where their money came from.

    I feel a bit vindicated they they are just another tech bro's philanthropic project with a habit of supporting and platforming fascists.

  • Board Votes To Dissolve Corporation For Public Broadcasting After Loss Of Federal Funding

    Jump

  • So instead everyone got genocide x2, shortly maybe will be x3 of oil companies pull a Venezuelan banana republic: electric boogaloo, and a significantly worse economy with not only no reforms, but significant change in the opposite direction, siphoning orders of magnitude more money away from the working class than the status quo.

    Plus you get the dissolution of unions and stripping workers of any power they have.

    Plus you get out-in-the-open media centralization to become out and out propaganda machines bought and paid for by corruption and dissolution of the last remnents of independent media.

    Plus you get kidnapping citizens in the streets by faceless, nameless, badgeless enforcers.

    Plus you get government-sponsored lynchings

    Plus you get, nationwide, women getting sick, hurt, and dying because doctors aren't allowed to treat them anymore

    Plus you get multiple very corrupt white collar criminals set completely free with no consequences

    Plus you get the near-total neutering of all health and disease research and public health policies

    Plus you get the complete decimation of US aid to countries in need that was not through on an imperialist military

    Plus you get people dying of hunger and homeless people and immigrants being arrested and used for slave labor.

    Plus you get people who aren't fascists labelled as terrorist groups, arrested, and threatened

    Plus you get persecution of transgender people

    Plus you get pedophile government oligarchs literally out in the open human trafficking instead of behind closed doors.

    Great trade off there. You guys really sent the correct message and voted to make the world a better place.

  • On the bright side, this change has been around for 9 months at least because they had already changed it when I was doing IT stuff at my last job and it was impossible to find where to actually download the office suite.

  • What are good options for self hosting home security camera?

    Jump

  • Or Hikvision for very similar cameras at an actually affordable price (but you HAVE to block then from the internet and/or put them on an isolated VLAN because they send everything back home).

    Reolink also makes gold budget cameras, especially their doorbell camera.
