LinkedIn Is Illegally Searching Your Computer
2mon 16d ago in linkedinlunatics@sh.itjust.works from browsergate.euRecommenting since this is being posted fucking everywhere with the same sensational headline that makes it look like linkedin is jumping out of the browser to scan your actual filesystems - here's an exerpt from the site linked:
The Attack: How it works
Every time you open LinkedIn in a Chrome-based browser, LinkedIn’s JavaScript executes a silent scan of your installed browser extensions. The scan probes for thousands of specific extensions by ID, collects the results, encrypts them, and transmits them to LinkedIn’s servers. The entire process happens in the background. There is no consent dialog, no notification, no mention of it in LinkedIn’s privacy policy.
It's enumerating the browser extensions you have installed.

Why is Oman overlooked as a travel destination?
2mon 16d ago in asklemmy@lemmy.mlThe opulence of the UAE lets a certain type of person overlook its human rights abuses and hostility towards women and queer people to view it as an appealing travel destination. It's probably overlooked because without that opulence, Oman is just another dictatorship actively hostile to over half of the people who might travel there.

2mon 18d ago in linux@lemmy.mlQubes as a daily can be pretty cumbersome with a steep learning curve, but once you get the hang of it it's a very unique modular kind of experience, and a pretty good way to safely(ish) use one machine for many things - certainly much more so than any of the main linux distros. If you're interested in security, worth checking out!
Linux hobbyist for 20+ years, pro for 6+. Fedora for workstations, proxmox for hypervisors, and rocky for servers is my usual personal recommendation. Beyond that, secureblue (a hardened downstream of fedora atomic) with heads firmware is a fantastic daily driver if you're into that kind of thing.
Started with debian sarge way back in the day, currently using secureblue and qubes with fedora vms for most work, with a debian htpc on the side. For servers, I'm mostly debian-based on hardware (a bunch of proxmox machines at various sites and debian-based raspberry pis everywhere), with mostly redhat-based vms. Some alpine and freebsd baremetal and virtual machines sprinkled in here and there for flavor where they fit right.

3mon 6d ago in linux@lemmy.mlIt isn't much to ask for a game built for one operating system to work perfectly on a completely, fundamentally different operating system, by means of the vastly complex and enormous work of thousands of people, which they donated to the world so that you can access it for free?

How to have external/internal HDD spin down when not in use ?

California utility PG&E is piloting two devices that strategically throttle power use so that new EVs and heat pumps don’t mean costly home and grid upgrades.
3mon 9d ago in energy@slrpnk.net from www.canarymedia.comThe fact that PG&E, a monopolistic utility, is a private for-profit company is a fucking travesty. Their intentional criminal negligence has killed hundreds of people and poisoned thousands more for the profit of their shareholders while simultaneously and perpetually worsening things for their customers. It should have been nationalized and its entire C-suite and board guillotined decades ago.
