  • Microsoft is moving antivirus providers out of the Windows kernel

  • Cool. Do anticheat vendors next.

  • How is federated social media better?

    Jump

  • Mostly just the resilience and control. An outage or censorship incident on one node can be contained, isolated, and users can easily go around it."Oh no, my preferred instance went down!" switches to another instance with the exact same content

    Also, I think some European governments run Mastodon servers for themselves. Which sounds weird, but makes more sense in an IT security context. Their data, stored on their servers, that they manage. No third party business contractors needed.

  • Taiwan adds China’s Huawei, SMIC to export blacklist

  • Boi...

  • Half-Life 3 Has Been Designed to be ‘The Final Chapter’, It’s Claimed

  • Hey, I'll take anything over being stuck on the cliffhanger of Eli's death for 20 years, and wrap up the whole Combine story as best as possible.

  • Microsoft laying off about 6,000 people, or 3% of its workforce

    Jump

  • It's not on the list, but I've been rocking the same KDE fedora installation through about ten version upgrades. Once you dial in your settings and software choices, it's fairly solid.

    The only issue I can recall was some weirdness with steam's dependencies blocking my last version upgrade, but it was easily bypassed.

    Congress bill renames Greenland as Red, White, and Blueland

    Jump

  • Dear Congress,

    Can you please leave comedy to the professionals on stages and TV? Running a government is supposed to be a serious business.

    LibreOffice: We still see people on the fediverse recommending OpenOffice, despite it having year-old unfixed security issues

  • I still occasionally slip on that myself. It's the first non-Microsoft office suite I used and it's burned into my memory.

  • Any chance this one will be easily defaced like the doge.gov site was?

  • “Lab leak” marketing page replaces federal hub for COVID resources

    Jump

  • Any chance this site also uses an editable SQL database or whatever exploitable nonsense the doge website had?

  • Ohh! Research citations!For some reason I read that as police citations and was wondering how the hell she got so dangerously based.

  • Microsoft tells Windows 10 users to just trade in their PC for a newer one, because how hard can it be?

    Jump

  • Oh, I already have Linux on my laptop. It's my desktop that still has some blockers preventing a full Linux transition.Primarily the Pimax headset. Once I get a suitable replacement, I'll actually be able to start testing and transferring stuff.

  • Or better yet, windows 10 LTSC. Which will be supported for another 2 years. 4 if you subsequently switch the product key to the IOT LTSC version.

  • Israel claims Hamas has 'enough food to spark obesity epidemic'

    Jump

  • Okay, and? I fail to see the part where another country's welfare is your problem, Israel.Also, obesity is no justification for dropping bombs on their food reserves. Otherwise every Walmart in the US would be a bombed out crater.

  • My primary and backup yubikeys: "Am I a joke to you?"

  • Scientists move to Bluesky, transitioning away from X and Meta platforms

    Jump

  • While there has been some onboarding QOL stuff for mastodon, Bluesky still has them beat on that.

    The "People" segment in the explore menu is a nice start, but it's still dependent on the users picking a server that somewhat matches their interests.

  • Stop trying to take my stuff!

    Jump

  • Okay, I can play this game.Opens control panel and uninstalls onedriveOpens Appdata and Program Files folders and removes leftover onedrive bitsOpens Regedit and wipes out any remnants from there

    Wonderful. All set up now.

  • Exactly where I want to be

  • Coors?! Nah fam, we drinking the imported good stuff, with umlauts and duplicate vowels in the name.
