I'm gonna try to see if you can use a windows vm with proton drive and a shared folder with the host system. Kinda a pain, but if it works it works. What I'd really love is an api for this kind of asshattery
I imagine it is. Developing something like that in house would take a lot. Probably Collabora or something.
It's hard to argue that guns don't make the proverbial bad guy more efficient at killing. If guns weren't the most effective tool for killing someone, cops would carry cheaper alternatives like billy clubs, and wars would still be fought with swords and bows.
She uses arch btw
Many people presume that if someone is speaking a different language, they are talking shit. I've regretably been one of them, but sometimes you aren't wrong (RE Chinese people who speak Chinese and the "ABC"s who don't)
Luckily, there is a choice! All google services have a FOSS alternative. If you want to completely degoogle yourself, it's a long process that takes dedication, but any amount is liberating. You are literally taking back your freedom!
I don't see it as a matter of being a bad person or not. When I use GPL, whomever uses my software may be "evil". The difference is whether or not they grant the freedoms I granted them to view, modify, distribute, and distribute modifications to whomever uses their version of the software. It is a requirement to pay it forward. Evil or not.
Do you have additional inside knowledge?
I have set off smoke detectors with a power washer and with saw dust
Single uncle with 2 nieces is where it's at 😉
Hannah Montana Linux. Unironically.
I'm not familiar with all of them, but I know several of them are tools. Isn't it in apple's best interest to open source the tools if people use and improve them, and subsequently it means they get more money from the app store? And if these are the only things they open source, they still have a tight fist on the vast majority of their code base.
While on the subject of apple and FOSS. They may open source some tools, but do they give back to other projects? I.e. does apple push upstream? Substantially less than google and ms. And I would go so far to say almost never.
I've enjoyed Proton for several years, except there ia no Linux desktop client. I intend to test installing the client in a virtual machine running windows, and then use shared folders.
Maybe the destination was more important than the journey
There are some gaps in the numbers. That could be the case. Was it for all of the ones you tried to download?
That's a very good question. It was a few years ago, but it's running right now on my computer on Linux.
Neo launcher does that
A friend of mine and I put this together a few years ago. I hope yall find it helpful:

How Would You Handle Students Cheating?
I gave my students a take home exam over spring break. (This is normal where I teach) One of the questions was particulary difficult. It came down to a factor of three in the solution. That factor inexplicably appeared with no justification on many of their exams. I intend to have the students I suspect of cheating come to my office to solve the problem on the board. What would you do?
Edit: I gave them the Tuesday before spring break until the Thursday after. I didn't want it to be right before or right after.
When I say normal I mean giving take home exams.
What are Some Good, Recent, and Available Dumb Cars?
I have a 2010 Toyota Corolla. She's been my trusty steed for the last 14 years and is in good working order. I recognize she won't last forever, and if, god forbid (mostly for her) I get in an accident, I will need to get a new car. So what dumb cars do you drive, and what would you replace them with?
What are some prominent stories about AI and cyber security you've seen this year? Are they just improvements upon old techniques or are they novel?
My reading has found things like generic phishing becoming more like spearfishing and blue teams finding preexisting problems using AI. Have there been any zero days? Do you think quantum computing will have a more significant impact on security than AI? Relatively speaking, how significant a role does good personal security practices like password management play relative to these two?
