The first one I knew the model number of was the Macintosh IIsi. It had Mac OS 7. The only games were SimCity, and a few free games we got from a 1 hour free trial of AOL. The only programming language was Apple Script, and it didn’t work right (the sample programs didn’t run).

Mozilla, for example, would sign Firefox’s flatpak with a PGP key that they would disclose on their website. You verify the signature using the RSA algorithm (or any other algorithm for digital signatures. There are a bunch.) Or, you could just trust that your connection wasn’t tampered the first time, then you would have the public key, and it would verify each time that the package came from that same person. Currently, you have to trust every time that your connection isn’t tampered.

Major flatpak providers (Flathub at the very least) would include their PGP public key in the flatpak software repo, and operating system vendors would distribute that key in the flatpak infrastructure for their operating system, which itself is signed by the operating system’s key.

I don’t own this game, but twice I have switched positive reviews to negative for doing this.

Article doesn’t mention my biggest problem with flatpaks, that the packages are not digitally signed. All major Linux distros sign their packages, and flathub should too. I would prefer to see digital signatures from both flathub and the package’s maintainer. I don’t believe flathub has either one currently.

Bar soap dries out my skin really badly. Besides, moisturizing body wash is not too expensive.

Yes, Firefox on lemmy.world.

How do I disable autoplay videos in the Lemmy feed?

My problem with that theme is that it doesn’t highlight any buttons. I believe all buttons should have borders, especially the ones the titlebar. This helps distinguish a noninteractive label from an interactive clickable button.

This survey doesn’t distinguish between levels of cloud service provider, so I was a little confused.

Virtual private servers, cloud virtual servers (like AWS), cloud-based software where you provide code or a program and the cloud system runs it on a server of its choosing, and cloud-based systems where someone else provides the software (like Google Docs).

I literally cannot use a program that has AI crap integrated into it, because of data security rules in the contracts I have to follow. If I used Windows 11, I would have to never use Notepad, and find a way to remove Explorer. (Explorer creates the desktop icons and taskbar, so good luck with that.)

Windows 11 doesn’t even have a working file manager or text editor anymore. This is not a serious operating system.

Rejecting Netflix fixes things for you and me, but the article says Netflix has 93 million ad-supported subscribers. I’m really worried about the amount of influence advertisers have on our society, and it’s only getting worse. Even if you and I can be above the direct influence of these ads, many people are not, and those people are influencing you and me. This produces a dangerous secondary influence that can reach most of society, and just fills everyone’s mind with lies, for hardly any cost.

Note the fact that Huawei and SunGrow have remote access to 168 GW already. These device ARE CURRENTLY phoning home.

I can’t get into the details, but I’ve used UKG/Ultipro in the past and it is absolute shit. Way worse things that just what dirtycrow is showing here.

Bezos does not make a billion dollars in a week, unless you count certain short term gains based on random variation of the stock market, in which case he also loses a billion dollars in some weeks.

Kanopy looks like they use Widevine DRM. I will continue using other DRM-free sources.

They’ve always had this policy. A priest would be excommunicated for revealing even a murderer, if they knew about it from a confession.

Gods, that’s awful. I would send them a bill for the cost of my attention.

At this rate, they’ll deport the players. Is it too late to move the 2026 world cup?
