I just realize at the time of the time change last night, the amount of clocks I had that were accurate didn't change, only which ones were did.

Our upcoming release has hardware memory tagging enabled unconditionally on devices supporting it to replace the opt-in we added in security settings. This will likely be released at the end of the day tomorrow.

See https://grapheneos.social/@GrapheneOS/111338677911401250 on our implementation.

I am not too familiar with EU law, but am somewhat familiar with the technology and I don't think this interpretation is a good idea. Adblock detection i's a bit of JavaScript stored in ram and running in your browser. If that's illegal without consent (assuming the consent of loading a page by going to that web address isn't "consent" under this law) then literally all of the internet is illegal. Even a cookie consent banner does that before you see it, so by that logic there'd be no way to legally get consent unless you give consent by mail or something before going to a site.

As funny as it is to see, there's a surprising more specialized programs (e.g. OCR or Speech to Text tools) that work better on Linux, and a guide running them on WSL or other options for Windows users is probably a handy tool to have.
A huge shout out to those who answer strangers questions on the internet. After a ton of troubleshooting and a lucky search I found a stack exchange answer that solved an issue that's been bugging me for weeks, and bam, problem solved in a well written two sentence answer.
Google gets its way, bakes a user-tracking ad platform directly into Chrome

Chrome now directly tracks users, generates a “topic” list it shares with advertisers.

A few days from now, the sunspot should be visible from our planet.

LR Update,

There is a bunch of rumors spreading across the fediverse about LinuxRocks being Transphobic NAZI supporters.

This is far from the truth. The truth is the user created a report for a user on another instance and stated transphobic.

This started a DDOS of reports against us and almost all just lude comments against the mods.

Then because we don't all out block instances. We are called NAZI. We do not support nazi and will block if the instance if truly a nazi instance.

LR being accused of being a Nazi supporting instance is shit show, why would people try to smear the name of a good instance. I have been on this instance for a while now and have seen nothing of the allegations that have been thrown around.

That’s one problem with social media, one person says something false, and everyone else believes it.

Really, really stupid, I recommend reading this thread from the admin: https://linuxrocks.online/@omnipotens/110968363385606875

Tech's broken promises: Streaming is now just as expensive and confusing as cable. Ubers cost as much as taxis. And the cloud is no longer cheap.

Tech's broken promises: streaming, ride-hailing, cloud computing

Some tech is getting pricier and looking a lot like the older services it was supposed to beat. Namely video streaming, ride-hailing, and cloud computing.
