A PR disaster: Microsoft has lost trust with its users, and Windows Recall is the straw that broke the camel's back (www.windowscentral.com)

It’s a nightmare scenario for Microsoft. The headlining feature of its new Copilot+ PC initiative, which is supposed to drive millions of PC sales over the next couple of years, is under significant fire for being what many say is a major breach of privacy and security on Windows. That feature in question is Windows Recall, a...

Spotify is raising the cost of Premium subscriptions, again (www.engadget.com)

Spotify is officially raising its Premium subscription rates in the US come July, following reports of the move in April. The platform is increasing its Individual plan from $11 to $12 monthly and its Duo plan from $15 to $17 monthly — the same jump as last year’s $1 and $2 price hikes, respectively. However, its Family plan...

Debian 12 KDE Plasma: The right GNU/Linux distribution for professional digital painting in 2024. Reasons and complete installation guide. (www.davidrevoy.com)

I enjoyed this post despite not needing a guide, because it shows someone doing real-world creative work with open-source software. Glimpses of their art and workspace made it even more fun.

Coincidentally, I was just thinking about building an art station for my wife who is a graphic designer. This article and guide might come in handy.

The thing that I love most about Lemmy and the wider Fediverse is the sense of actual community. Many of the users feel like actual people I could meet in real life. It’s essentially a digital cafe. Sure as hell not going back to Reddit or those other shit Big Tech sites.

[SOLVED] [Manjaro XFCE] Trying to mount an SSD but gives me a "Failed to mount" error

I’m trying to mount one of my SSDs on my systems but it gives me this error when trying to mount from File System: “Failed to mount “New Volume” - No object for D-Bus interface.” If I go into Gparted and check the description of the device in question it gives me this: $MFTMirr does not match $MFT (record 3). Failed to...

That’s the thing: I don’t have Windows installed on that SSD. I double checked.

HOLY SHIT! YES! Thank you so much! I thought that drive was a goner. I was on the verge of just buying a new SSD. You just saved me a couple hundred bucks. Thank you once again!

Not this shit again. This pseudo-scientific nonsense has been debunked numerous times already. You would think that this would be a dead conspiracy theory but here we are debating this once more. This is what happens when you have an scientifically illiterate population.

How to Figure Out What Your Car Knows About You (and Opt Out of Sharing When You Can) (www.eff.org)

Cars collect a lot of our personal data, and car companies disclose a lot of that data to third parties. It’s often unclear what’s being collected, and what’s being shared and with whom. A recent New York Times article highlighted how data is shared by G.M. with insurance companies, sometimes without clear knowledge from...

Best ways to circumvent this:

  1. Buy a pre-2000s car. Sure, cars were going high tech before but this was long before IoT became a thing.
  2. Ditch the car all together and get into to cycling and e-bike culture.

Is there any way to root and unlock the bootloader on a U.S S21 Ultra?

I’m going to repurpose my S21 since I just got a new phone that could be rooted and have the boot loader unlocked. However, I’ve told that the U.S variant of the S21 (Snapdragon 888) can’t be rooted and have the boot loader unlocked. Is this true and I’m simply chasing a pipedream? Or can it actually be done?

Key word: directly. Banks may say that they won’t fund fossil fuels but doesn’t mean the money will disappear. Someone else can get the money for them. What Barclays has essentially done is add extra step for oil companies to get their financing. Remember people, banks and corporations are not are our friends. Anytime they claim to take up a social cause - be it climate action, LGBT issues or what have you- it is not for our benefit but for the benefit of their bottom line.
