China state hackers infected 20,000 Fortinet VPNs, Dutch spy service says (arstechnica.com)

- Hackers working for the Chinese government gained access to more than 20,000 VPN appliances sold by Fortinet using a critical vulnerability that the company failed to disclose for two weeks after fixing it, Netherlands government officials said....

MIVD is the military one, usually it’s the AIVD being mentioned when it comes to cybersecurity.

Welcome to tech journalism, which mostly doesn’t employ journalists, nor technologists.

For good reasons

Again, there are a lot of (professional) programs which only work in Windows, with no paid/free/open source equivalents for Linux or BSD.

Is the AI/copilot integration already rolled out to end users? I haven’t seen it myself, but I’m in the EU where it’s apparently disabled by default (and I’d like to keep it disabled).

hagelslager ,

Not really, some older versions of premiere and after effects have bronze at best for example. Nothing recent works.

hagelslager ,

Yeah, for around 20-30 euros you can get a cheap Nokia branded phone as far as I’m aware (105 and 106 series for example).

I think Corridor Digital made an AI animated film by hiring an illustrator (after an earlier attempt with a general dataset) and “draw” still frames from video of the lead actors, with Stable Diffusion generating the inbetweens.

How to sync Akregator across devices?

I’m a happy user of Inoreader. I like it so much I’m considering buying a premium plan. However, I’m looking for an alternative I wouldn’t have to pay for. I came across FreshRSS. The only thing that’s keeps me from moving is the sync. I don’t want to expose it to the internet but I want to be able to access it on a...

hagelslager ,

If you know the folder where the configuration of FreshRSS is stored on the various devices and the structures are the same over all devices: it should be possible.

Vampire Survivors on the Switch, Helldivers 2 and Final Fantasy XIV on the PC.

I’m afraid peak computer literacy and hygiene is past us now. Younger folks are so used to everything just working, that the vast majority don’t care or are willing to find out how things work. (Don’t get me wrong, the vast majority of boomers, gen-x and millennials aren’t much better, but tend to have more of a healthy suspicion because of their analog youths.)

Android is a fenced garden compared to the fortress that is iOS.

hagelslager ,

Instead of relying on “startups” you could go for (selfhosted) Nextcloud with the notes app.

hagelslager ,

Personally I also use it for other apps/functions, such as synchronising contacts, agenda and files (with offline backups, since you can lose access due to bugs).

hagelslager ,

Fairphone comes with standard Android? Unlocking the Fairphone to get a de-googled Android is easy for someone somewhat technically inclined.

I think the one who replied meant you install your PC as if it’s in an EU country. Language settings are independent of “location”. For example, I’m Dutch, but use UK English as a language. Time, keyboard, currency and other values etc. are following dutch standards though.

You can use your real location as a secondary timezone forvexample.

hagelslager ,

In a way it does, but by default it comes with a fairly standard android. It’s more about the hardware modules and repairability than about the software.

hagelslager ,

No bloatware that I can recall!

hagelslager ,

Get a phone with a removeable battery, such as the aforementioned Fairphone.

hagelslager ,

I have a Samsung laser printer and same.

hagelslager ,

Such as? (Non-programmer here, so I don’t know the ins and outs of programming languages.)

CCLeaner?

They really don’t like the original name Crap Cleaner anymore, eh?

Volvo released a new EV besides Polestar (which as far as I’m aware is also tied to Volvo (and it’s parent Geely)?

Or “PDA” phones which came before.

Also, electric cars such as Polestar (Volvo’s EV brand, also Chinese these days) look much better than Tesla’s.

hagelslager ,

Stellantis is mostly European, it’s FIAT and Peugot with their other brands. I’m fairly certain they get enough subsidies and tax breaks. That this Italian/American/French company is registered in the Netherlands shows that some tax-dodging is involved as well. I think it’s a case of the pot calling the kettle black.

(Also, Volkswagen Group is the bigger European car manufacturer.)

Nothing near the level of Adobe software for example.

Any duck duck go alternative that is better in privacy and security ?

I have the idea DDG (or Bing which powers it) is getting worse, if you search for items, you first get a load of webstores selling that item and a Wikipedia article might show up on page 2 at best.

Another shout out for the PineTime here, which is open source.

hagelslager , (edited )

I bought the “closed” version, since I’m not a programmer myself and rely on community efforts. So unfortunately I can’t provide you with an answer!

Edit: I don’t think Infinitime is Linux based, but it is open source: infinitime.io

Just a passer-by: why a chromebook? Is their hardware less reliant on proprietary software?

hagelslager ,

Unfortunately startpage has been owned by an ad agency for some years now.

hagelslager , (edited )

Yup, I have one of those. I’m not sure what the exact build year is, but I think it’s from the mid-90s.

I got in 2006 or so from a thrift store and served me ever since.

I wonder how many anti-Zionist Jewish groups get affected by things like these.

hagelslager ,

In a way Japan is both innovative and conservative when it comes to technology and business. There are still business practices going on there which have been phased out in “the west”. If you look at the Japanese music industry for example it’s both 21st century and stuck in the 1990s for some reason.

hagelslager ,

And are there even industry standard equivalent programs available for graphic designers on Linux?

Most FOSS alternatives tend to be a significant step back for folks used to their closed source industry counterparts like for example Adobe. The available video editing software is either a step back or closed source (DaVinci Resolve).

It’s probably the proverbial chicken-and-egg situation.

hagelslager , (edited )

I think of my characters in games as “stand alone”, and I don’t really care about the gender I’m playing as.

Specific reasons to play women:

  • Cyberpunk 2077: Judy Alvarez is more appealing to me than Panam Palmer. (Although I have to dig up my first playthrough (male V) since the Kerry Eurodyne questline seems to be good).
  • When I started playing Fortnite with some others, someone jokingly gave me the Heidi-skin. Except for certain quests, I keep using that skin.

This sounds like a nightmare.

While the idea is awesome, I’m certain that greedy corporations or other bad actors will abuse this.

Climate change doesn’t matter when it’s lawyers and economists in charge, there’s money to be made… unfortunately.
