There is still: !whitepeopletwitter@sh.itjust.works

What does this mean? It wasn’t real time before?

What? How much is it? Surely that can’t be illegal?

It does require a phone number. The option to generate a username is there if you want to chat with people on signal but don’t want to give out your phone number.

You still need a phone number to sign up.

I’m out of the loop. What was the last controversy with the iPad?

Which programs use the pipewire API? I can only think of mumble but no one is going to stream that.

You can increase the volume by just enabling the plugin VolumeBooster in Vesktop. Then you can increase it up to 400%.

Are we referring to this icon? Found here: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/PuTTY

If so I see no resemblance with a penguin at all.

I’ve been using NetNewsWire. It’a free and open source and works with FreshRSS.

Some distros disable these by default such as Arch.

I would completely agree with you if that was what this feature was being used for, however most manufacturers use it to install bloatware instead of drivers which is not acceptable in my opinion.

Not to mention the huge security risk of running exe files at boot up that could be exploited by malicious people. I’m sure manufacturers aren’t releasing a new bios update every time they update their software so old versions could have unpatched vulnerabilities…

According to this article: https://www.techpowerup.com/248827/asus-z390-motherboards-automatically-push-software-into-your-windows-installation it has already installed services on your computer that persist restarts by the time you are prompted to install Armoury Crate. In my opinion that is not acceptable at all.

AI will eventually get so good that you won’t be able to tell if it is AI or not so the tag will become unenforceable.

That won’t get rid of it unless you also manually go into the BIOS and disable the install ASUS Armoury Crate setting as explained in the article.

If you don’t do this it will automatically reinstall even on a fresh install of Windows. Some of these bloatware programs will even install without an internet connection! This absolutely ludicrously stupid feature is called WPBT and is used by lots of manufacturers. Luckily it doesn’t work on Linux (at least for now…).

Mumble is an open source version of Teamspeak.

How long until it reboots when inactive?

Wait till you discover about the concorde!

Someone got hired as an IT Support Desk Technician. On his 5th day, he told the CEO that this job was temporary and he had no intentions of staying as he wanted to work in IT in a school.

5 minutes later he was fired.

Yes it is lossless.

MakeMKV can rip straight to .MKV files so you don’t need to use handbreak at all unless you want to compress it.
