I’ve found helpful guides for de-googling here, but I wasn’t able to find any for limiting the personal data that is shared with Google before making the switch to other services....
I think they provide tools to do this. You can do google takeout, then set your privacy settings to delete after X amount of time. We can hold good faith that they do so? Other than that, i guess you can contact them?
Right, that’s what I was thinking. They need to fire their marketing company, because almost certainly it’s tied to inventory and expiry dates. That’s why at the restaurant I work at, our family meal is always something bizarre. Like last night it was pasta with a bachemel, grilled potato cubes, and fried chicken… All mixed together. 😫
Last week, I turned on my PC, installed a Windows update, and rebooted to find Microsoft Edge automatically open with the Chrome tabs I was working on before the update. I don’t use Microsoft Edge regularly, and I have Google Chrome set as my default browser. Bleary-eyed at 9AM, it took me a moment to realize that Microsoft...
That’s better than me. I ran a security script that i… laugh and roll my eyes at myself about in a bad way, like i deserved what i got. I didn’t read the script…
So i restarted the system. Since i used an online Microsoft account to create the local user, and i didn’t read the script, the only account, and admin at that, was disabled. I couldn’t sign in AT ALL. Lol
I formatted the whole system and installed Fedora Plasma. I’m a Fedora fan. It’s what we use in a corporate environment (rhel) and it’s what i learned on.
TL;DR: Windows sucks. Linux is great and ProtonDB for those games you miss.
Article seems pretty flawed. Relevance is a vague metric, and the author relies pretty heavily on data related to government site visitation, which seems subject to bias toward certain types of users....
As a 15 year long editor to Wikipedia, this comment is exactly how i feel and it’s hilarious.
edit: my God i just waisted 2 minutes of my life I’ll never get back reading that article. 40 editors are a SPEED BUMP when it comes to editing the Wikipedia. Also what’s up with the terms they are using for group of editors? Lol
What id like to see is the appeal to the admin thread on the Wikipedia. Instead we have a slate article about this click bait bullshit.
Lol it’s not new, it’s always been like this for as long as i can remember. Keyboard warriors will be exactly that. You just have to work around it. It’s precisely why i never became an admin. These days i just stick to typo fixes using awb. Useful but not too much.
Some of the messaging community believes that software that is open source is more secure. It is our view that it is not. The more visibility there is into the infrastructure and code, the easier it is to penetrate it. By design, open source software is distributed in nature. There is no central authority to ensure quality and maintenance and by putting that responsibility on Sunbird, development would not be feasible. Open source vulnerabilities typically stem from poorly written code that leave gaps, which attackers can use to carryout malicious activities.
To help satisfy our own ambitious goals of providing total privacy and security, we are currently undergoing a third party audit that will validate our security, encryption and data policies and plan on receiving ISO 27001 certification after launch.
As a person that worked at BioWare for 10 years. This is my theory. They just laid off 50 people src: theverge.com/…/bioware-layoffs-dragon-age-dreadwo… Based on my current knowledge, Dragon Age and Mass Effect are still on; however, kotor 3 was pretty early. Some people suggested the 50 people were from swtor, however, BioWare Austin was sold to another publisher Broadsword: …swtor.com/…/929816-an-update-on-the-development-…
When i was at EA, support orgs were moved to internal EA and only the game team was specic to the studio. 50 people does not equal support, 50 people is a new project.
I theorized they cancelled kotor 3 then laid off a bunch of people, then transferred a bunch of people to mass effect and dragon age. I’ve been through 2 layoffs with EA and this is exactly what they do. It’s a shame because it was a long held passion project for a lot of the devs.
It doesn’t have to be cruel. I grew up on a sustainable farm. I agree with you however, it’s the culture that has decided meat or nothing and that’s why it’s cruel.
