The fact that tor was developed by feds (CIA agents actually use it in the field, too, IIRC) does not mean it’s compromised. Its source code might be among the most audited ones around, including by well-known cryptographers. When the NSA put a backdoor in Dual_EC_DRBG, it was identified quickly and outside of shitty security appliances from RSA in corporate environments, very few projects actually ended up using it. I suspect such a thing would happen with tor.

SELinux is similar: developed by the NSA, but also audited to shit by countless security researcher eager to put their names on the map.

Also, the fact that all tor services that were taken down by LE thus far we know of were taken down through human error on the operator’s side or active exploitation of software flaws in the service itself, combined with the Snowden leaks describing tor as a constant pain in their backside, also point towards the same conclusion.

protect the planet from climate change

overthrow the whole capitalist system

Si, je pense qu’ils vendent les kindle (tous les kindle) à perte; et c’est en tous cas certainement vrai pour les kindle supportés par la pub.

Perso j’achete la liseuse amazon, la version avec pubs; puis je la jailbreak pour installer KOReader et virer toute référence à Amazon, dont les pubs.

Tu as le support de l’epub, un lecteur super, et tu fais perdre de l’argent à Amazon.

I did, years ago, it worked perfectly. This was when DX9 was an option for it though, but given since then dxvk / etc. came out the DX11 renderer should not be an issue. In fact I’d be surprised if the game didn’t run as-is without any tweaks.

I suggest using the gog version. appdb suggests installing vcrun2010 might be needed but again, test beforehand.

Meanwhile on lemmy.world

Cowards

Hilarant, merci !

because the capitalists, backed by fascists, are here to loot European countries and rip the wiring out of the walls as the profitability crisis continues

Healthcare-wise this is already well under way, at least in France and the UK.

That’s a regular classic sadly, along with the other banger: “our US healthcare can’t be free because we subsidize Europe’s healthcare”.

Been on lemmy for three years and I’ve never really lacked for content though.

Ah, fair enough.

but instead of all of reality melting digitally disintegrating dripping all around you it’s much more like the classic description of a near death experience/OBE.

That description doesn’t match my DMT experiences at all; at threshold doses I’m always somewhere else completely, the world doesn’t disintegrate around me, I go somewhere else entirely with no relation to my previous environment and I go there in seconds at most, it’s almost instantaneous. And what’s on the other side is indeed sometimes close to the classic description of NDEs.

How do people not think of that, putting a quarter of your income away monthly, so obvious, I wonder why they don’t do it

Also a “retirement” implies a functioning biosphere in which to retire, fat chance.

We did the best we could, it was a sticky situation for sure

lmao

Here is a comprehensive post about this (at an awful community I would ordinarily not link to).

Careful indeed: this is from lesswrong, the biggest band of techbro freaks this side of the orange website; also highly connected to the cultish, insane, sex-pest-filled movement that calls itself “effective altruism”. This article may be OK though (the comments, not so much, as usual) - mostly an evidence dump it seems.

Ever curious to see a French concentration camp ? here you go. They’re all over the country and they call them “centres de rétention administrative”, mainly used against refugees.

I know they have the same in the US but still, from the country that regularly bills itself as “the homeland of Human Rights”, folks

I Have No Mouth & I Must Scream, right ? still need to play it.

I use fluxbox but that doesn’t prevent using gnome apps; my main issue with them is that god-awful look they all assumed overnight a few years ago, without the title bar and the like (I think to match the Ubuntu tendency at the time / trying to emulate the fucked-up universal touch interface thing Microsoft tried to introduce at the time ?), from gedit to, indeed, evolution. I really loathe it. And thunderbird kept a classic look (firefox didn’t, which means regular css tweaking to achieve the same result).

Also thunderbird supports calendars and webdav/webcal sync with plugins (though perhaps evolution does as well now, I haven’t checked).

Everybody does, comrade
