  In comes @madthumbs@lemmy.world with the #SecurityThroughObscurity argument that the #SiliconValley barons have been promoting for decades now. But what he's suggesting isn't actually wrong. You should use a #Linux distro that is properly preconfigured and vetted by a community. This is why #Arch or #NixOS shouldn't be your first recommendation for newcomers. In fact, if we are to go by high security standards, your first distro should be an immutable one like #Bazzite or #Silverb...

  Day 2 with #GrapheneOS: #SiliconValley #propaganda goes hard. Even #Norwegian service providers try to tell you that "your phone is insecure". This is due to the lack of #GooglePlay and #GooglePlayProtect - which are glorified gatekeepers for the #Google monopoly. I'm still gonna two try though, because the idea of giving any American company that much control over my digital life is repugnant to me.

  You have to be kidding me. This is partly why #Norway should never join the #EU. Their courts are greenwashing private jets. Now that #Europe burns, the ultra rich get another pass to fill the skies with CO² - because it's such a "effective way to travel". It's time to talk about banning private jets altogether - at least in the countries that aren't shackled by Brussels.

  I swear to god. Some people shouldn't be #developers. If you can't secure your keys or manage credentials properly, please uninstall your #IDE. I mean it's for the best... You're probably using #VSCode and have some nefarious extensions installed already - ffs.

  #Burnout is normalized in the #neoliberal race to the bottom. It's a societal design that capsizies society under the "designer state v manufacturing state" dichotomy. Work that cannot be done by AI will be the only option - and it'll be back breaking #labour that will be added on top of the mind warping labour. We're digging our own productive grave. https://www.vice.com/en/via/are-you-burned-out-from-work/

  Reality is stranger than fiction - because you can't make this stuff up. Imagine telling an author "okay, so the story is that these immigrants votes for someone who wants to deport immigrants, who falsely claims that the ballots are stacked with illegal votes, only to win with the votes of those immigrants, some of which are illegal."

  To be this blind and repressive takes effort. Of course they can't talk bad about their donors, because as we all know the #Democrats is the party of #Schumer. Having their heads in their purses cost them the election and if the DNC doesn't wake up to this fact, they might lose again.

  The #UK claiming immigrants and Muslims are the chief reasons for #rape is laughable. No, you have rape apologists in fancy wigs and garbs that handwave not only #GangRape, but the filming of it. "The sweet boy" syndrom has to die in a fire, because I can't see no other way than dads giving into vigilante justice before anything gets done. https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026/may/24/uk-judge-decision-rape-girls-hampshire

  Have you noticed how many more accounts have been shilling for #Putin lately? Even on the #fediverse. They say that Putin is not your enemy - but #European leaders. They say #Ukraine is #antidemocratic for not holding #elections when under #invasion and #MartialLaw. Memes upon memes of how "evil" #Zelensky is. The #Kremlin is scared and dolling out the bot accounts apparently. https://www.theguardian.com/world/ng-interactive/2026/may/24/there-is-profound-disappointment-in-h...

  Bare enda en grunn til at #Norge ikkje burde bli med i #EU. Altså ingen veto rett for oss betyr at vi kan skysse vår suverenitet farvel.

  In a time of #disinformation, I need you to eat this like it's vegetables and fruits. The #HantaVirus is common, it has different genomes and is one of many common viruses. Also: the #CruiseShip industry needs to take a dive, because it is a net negative on society - let alone being a barge of germs, farts and spit shared between (statistically speaking) elderly immune compromised people. Contagions have happened and will continue to happen on cruise ships. Full stop. https://www.youtu...

  «The #iPhone 17e comes with an A19 chip, full support for #Apple Intelligence and a new cellular modem developed in #Israel» Hell to the no. We're talking about a country that not only has been instrumental in helping to build mass surveillance, but who also have put trackers - even bombs inside of phones.

  So I dual boot into #Linux once in a while. If it weren't for #Ableton live, I'd never leave Linux. As it stands, once or twice a month, I reboot, run "paru -Syu" and wonder why I ever left. The UI and UX is smoother, snappier and quite frankly easier to use. But then, I reboot again and just won't bother rebooting once more. But I've also been working a lot lately to get better at sound design and mixing again, so it just is what it is. And...

  #Europe is tired of foreign nation states thinking sovereignty is an optional. Wether it's the #US, #Russia or #China, #Europeans have to roll our eyes at each of them, as each of them tries to curry more favour, tries to influence elections, tries to intervene politically, and even intervene with policing. The US will airdrop special forces and extract someone forcefully, bypassing habius corpus. The Chinese will just have their agents lurk in the alleys and offices. https://uyghurti...

  When the polar ice caps melt, not only will it release tons of carbon, but viruses frozen in time get released back into the wild. Then there's fish farms, cow farms, general #meat production, which keeps animals in unsanitary conditions and dumps insane amounts of antibiotics into organic systems. Then there's the hate for #WHO, a mouth piece for the world's health professionals - an actual #meritocracy - being dragged in the dirt by #conspiracy theorists. https://www...

  Let us unearth the #neoliberal "designer state vs fabrication state" - i.e #neocolonialism - and how it will be used against us. The idea is simple: one state holds the patents, holds the rights, holds the money. The other state holds the workers in check to serve the former. But, with the neo-liberal #RaceToTheBottom, those seats can definitely be switched. We'd go from being the exploiter - to being the exploited. This is what the neo-liberal is doing to the west....

  Also in the news: the sky is blue, water makes things wet and you don't appreciate your closest enough. But yeah, #AI - as a service created by the #SiliconValley barons - is the evolution of #tracking. It's basically being packaged as "#SurveillanceState as a Service" at this point. Do you want #SharpEyes in the west? Because this is how we get sharp eyes in the west. You'd think that a market for #DataBrokerage was a dead giveaway, but nooooo! http...

  A judicial ball and cup game by the #authoritarian #British regime to try and hide their kangaroo courts. Of course the British brand of #authoritarianism is sponsored by the #zionist via the #neoliberal purse. #Neoliberalism: buy policy, buy judges, buy law, buy the courts.

  Eg e så glad at #Norges #nazister ikkje er like gjennomført, like subtile og likt finansiert som hvite nasjonalister i andre land. AfD i Tyskland er en mye mer seriøs organisasjon, MAGA har så og si tatt over republikanerne og at det sannsynligvis baron partiet #FrP som mottar den utenlandske finansiering for å fostre alt-right bevegelse i #Norge.

  It for me? 🥺👉👈 Honestly, that it took this long ^^; We all know about #Wolfi & #ChainGuard bringing secure, #distroless container images to the masses - as they've been doing that for a couple of years now. But #Fedora upping the ante by giving you a slim container base WITH all the solid RPMs they package is great! It adds competition and gives alternatives to the user - so yay!

  @Joshua344@mastodon.social @Tutanota I read this as "teach children digital literacy", but it's more about two separate problems. 1. It's the parents job to secure a child's devices. Failing in doing so should be considered parental neglect 2. Politicians using FUD & the classic "won't somebody PLEASE think of the children" to gain more power over your life will deprive you of rights Therefore mass surveillance is bad...

  #Apple finally gave people what they need instead of high specs - and boy did it work. Not to mention that their close tie-in deals, architecture and cohesive supply chain gives them a leg up from competition. Plus there's this seething hatred for #Windows11 - despite #WindowsK2 - which is a drag. It's time for #PC hardware vendors to take a good look at the #Linux Desktop - because #Windows sucks.

  A #VPN is basically a secure tunnel for network traffic from point A to point B. It's used in organizations, businesses, industry, military, government, etc. The bigger judicial question is: what constitutes a "bypassing of age restrictions"? Does it mean any use of VPNs? Will state governments subpoena VPN services for their logs? And if the US tries to coax those logs from #European providers, how far into hell do we tell them to go? https://www.tomshardware.com...

  You know what pisses me off? We knew this already from #crypto. Once the #ASIC took over for the #GPU, much less - albeit still an insane amount - of energy was wasted in the process. Now that hardware is catching up to software, consider all the unnecessary disruption and destruction caused by the #SiliconValley #AI agenda - how many businesses, communities and economies suffered needlessly.

  "Useless eaters", "undesirables", alle slags ord som har blitt funnet fra Discord og Signal screencaps sagt av visse politiske interesser i USA og i Europa. Frempeket er mot fascisme, der man etterfølger noen for å eventuelt etterfølge alle - som er hva rasisme har blitt brukt til mange ganger i historien. Man skaper frykt, for å få makt via forakt, for å så herske med sikkerhet. Det samme mønsteret, igjen og igjen. #Norge #Norsk #Politikk #NorskTut https://...

  #Putin leans heavy on the "it's not the tzar, but the boyars" sentiment that Russian influencers have been talking about the last month or so. This is because the digital pulse of #Russia has increased in intensity, showing that people are not happy. This is evident by the latest statements from Putin during a meeting of the #duma, where he said the #censorship needs to be reigned back. He of course signed it all into law, but again tries to lean on the boyars. htt...

  The amount of times I've had to say "country/continent X has always been rich, but it's people have been poor" is too damned high. But hey, that's just a theory - a #WealthExtraction theory.
