A legal precedent should be established to hold companies as large as CrowdStrike liable for their actions. This liability should be significant enough to ensure that future companies will think twice before releasing faulty code. We should not be asking for or supporting Microsoft's efforts to further lock down their product.

with the general election around the corner it is imperative that we mobilize, the community is to be as a resource for finding leftist parties to support, candidates to vote and leftist news without the capitalist spin.

rules are lax and discussion is invited.

Solidarity comrades.

Ive got myself a DTU-1031X which is a graphical drawing tablet, it uses usb-B for input output, display. In my case I'm able to draw but beyond that there isn't an output to the tablet, I have install displaylink, and wacoms drivers. Any advice?

Focus on feature like line smoothing, palm rejection. Good amount of brushes extra points for custom brushes.

Something ive been wanting for a while is a highly portable linux device like a phone or small tablet but obviously running fully flegde linux.

I need a device that is x86, 5g/4g networking water resistant if possible, sliding kB would be great but thats a bye gone era.

I don't want to use android based systems as when they have linux support it is via a spersific distribution made for that device. Virtualization is also not for me.

Instagram is one place I can't avoid as most artists post there and I'm always in need of inspiration

I saw this in a few applications, I wonder if it's a general bug with shared software code

I agree, come of as an american libertarian, but at least he's not on the weirder side of the political ideology with age of consent (from my limited knowledge of him)

If you'd not mentioned BG3 then more people would agree, but any game that is buggy should be refundable for sure and to say other wise is anti consumer

So been moving around a lot with browsers, waterfox, librewolf and very recently degoogle chromium, figured id look at Firefox and holy theres less than half the option in setting then there were afew years back but I gotta say the biggest sin is that adding custom search engine is obfuscated, and the chooses of engines are google, bing, duckduckgo and fucking Amazon! Wtf is that about? But anyway all these search engines are pretty awful including duckduckgo but beyond that the browser scene is a joke, mullvad are about the only company I feel compatible with using now

Edit: instead of saying how easy it is to add custom search engines, I'd like to know why the "add search engine" feature in settings is gone?

Pick up a secondhand Surface pro/go older gen install Linux and using linux-surface kernel, kernel can easily be found on github. Surface tablets are great little power houses

So I've got cyberpunk phantom liberty 2.0 but to update to 2.1 heroic game launcher wants me to download the hole game again, gog galaxy through wine is not an option so I'm looking at xdelta3 and innoextract to manually patch game files. But I'm hitting a break wall and seems to fail with every attempt using xdelta3

Idk I find starfeild could even be a downgrade in some way, no ai habits like shop keepers must be on a meth bindge as they never leave they're stores, the openish world is gone, in one lengthy mission I'd see 5/6 loading screens, usually when going from planet to planet then into the city then to do the objective then repeat in reverse.

I can agree, cyberpunk has a much gritter mature and well thought out world were as Bethesda titles demand cognitive dissonance

I'm all for the fight against child abuse but these actions are under the guise of fighting child abuse. Now if government implemented awareness, destigmatization of abuser so they can seek help. And dealt with core issues rather then chasing the shit storm thats already been and gone, well wed have a far better society. Its really about control though, once you've got money, a high societie social group what else is there

Everyone should be more aware, custom ROMs, Linux, Foss applications, use Foss YouTube clients, privacy focused email account and tor browser, VPN if possible, torrent things you want to watch rather than Netflix, use cash not card and definitely do not add cards to your mobile devices. People need to stop using non-pirvacy respecting service as it negatively impacts everyone.

But I also understand that some will knowingly give information for "convenience". We all need to do our part in writing history. Vote with our attention, wallets .

Also in ops position, google, apple and all these products are gathering data for advertising, if your not seeing the adverts from your previous habits then that information is somewhat worthless so yes be privacy focused, using adblocker count towards you privacy. Good luck in your journey op

With UK's new security bill that seems to more dismantle security rather than help. Am I still legally okay to use signal, VPN, tutanota, https, tor?

I don't think it carries over. Its been reclaimed and now it has connotations of pride, ricing seems to of been an insult as the cars where cheaply and tackily fitted. My desktop and many others I'd seen "riced" looked far from cheap

Just looked into the terminology, as an Asian I don't see it as that offensive if offensive at all when used for Linux theming
