I’ll gladly take over. The statement is stupid because it is already well known across the board that Microsoft is, by all intents and purposes, a malware developer. The Linux kernel on the other hand, and therefore Linux distros (most of them anyway), by being open source, at least give you the ability to look at the code and see if something IA broken, assuming you have the knowledge and the will, evidently.

Now, blocking you when you’re evidently on Lemmy to spread misinformation, be it of your own will or because you were planted (irrelevant) would be a disservice to people that come in here to interact in ways that may help them escape the grasp big tech and governments currently have on them.

This is not Twitter (or X) where most people just follow the “normy” trends. In here most of us are all too aware of moat of the truth out there, and keep digging ro help each other have the best life we can in these technologically dark times.

So, if you don’t want your easily disproven bullshit comments countered and being downvoted to the point that people will just scroll past your shit, you’re going ro have ro block us. Otherwise, keep them coming, any of us will knock down your sheep-like pushes with sound logic and facts each and every time. Of course, if your comments are accurate, they will be upvoted as well. Cause and effect, you know?

How many more people need to tell you exactly why your comments are ‘stupid’? I also think your comments are stupid, but more than that, I think you’re planted here to throw dirt on open source software in an attempt to lead people to big tech (which is a waste of time on your part).

Like my fellow Lemmy smart users here, your comments also piss me off, just a bit, but there’s going ro be some people here that are looking for reasons and ways to get away from MS, Google, Apple and all other bullshit malware and spyware corporations, and I want to be able to counter bullshit like yours by clarifying how wrong those are and why, so blocking you is not the beat course of action for me. You are, however, welcome to block me, and I will stop following your ill-intended comments to counter them then.

Dude, enjoy your Windows then. This is not Twitter (or X or whatever) where you can go do your master’s bidding of creating noise to try and control the normies. Here most of us know how to do research and have the ability to differentiate bots (human or otherwise) from actual thinking individuals with a modicum of common sense and more than 2 functioning brain cells.

Look at your down-votes and take a hint. That bullshit has no effect here.

Those are ‘vulnerabilities’ being exploited, and software will always have those, and when found, in Linux, they are patched, rather quickly in some cases. Microsoft develops Windows with the intention of making it vulnerable, so it is effectively commercial malware.

Those are 2 entirely different things.

Microsoft is a malware developer, plain and simple.

It’s not just US ISPs, this is worldwide behavior. Good on you to put a firewall between your network and your ISP’s gateway.

I don’t know if you went further than that, but in my case, once I had my OPNSense deployed, I went ahead and disabled all the radios of the ISP’s ONT gateway, changed it’s DNS server to Mullvad, and only left 1 LAN IP address to the OPNSense.

If you are aware of more things that can be done to give the ISP modem even less room to move around inside, I would appreciate you sharing it as well.

I wish more people would take the time to learn a bit about securing their home networks. What I do is that I offer my knowledge for free to neighbors, friends and family. Some actually want it and act on it, but the sad truth is that the vast majority still has this ‘I have nothing to hide’ mentality, and I’m not explaining how much marketing BS that is to them for the 100th time.

Jedi powers, duh!

I’ve been wanting to move to KeePass from my current vaultwarden. What’s the most seamless way to synchronize the DB across GrapheneOS and Arch?

I trust Syncthing for syncing files, but it kind of feels insufficient for an actual encrypted database.

What works for you for syncing?

I guess I won’t be recommending Botwarden to normies anymore.

Yeah, that knowledge could certainly be beneficial to us privacy freaks. I hope it comes to light at some point, though I’m not holding my breath for that outcome.

Correct. That is why we’re talking about having standards and enforcing them. That’s the whole point.

Everything, self-host everything, even toilet paper. Wait, hold on, don’t self-host email, that’s a fucking pain.

If the UK is ending one of the agreements with Palantir, you know it’s way worse than any of us can even imagine.

A standard is that, a standard. The amount of moving parts (features?) is irrelevant.

Either it’s up to the standard or it isn’t.

This is the reality. As long as the herd keeps using whatever big tech throws at them without question, this will only escalate to infinity.

Fascinating.

You get 2 chances at guessing the correct answer tot hat.

I came in only to ask that same question. Thanks.

Yeah, nope! That would have been a good and fair argument 10 or 15 years ago. But today, these ‘victims’ are volunteers. The information is out there, multiple times per day. In my country we say something that roughly translates to English as ‘if the river sounds, water is running’.

The noise is there, has been for over a decade. If they choose to remain ignorant and not even try to find out what all the noise is about, that’s on them. And if they do go after the noise to not be caught unaware, and still keep giving out everything to big tech, even worse.

Having said that, it’s not ‘victim blaming’ when the ‘victim’ is guilty.

This was nothing but a 60,000,000 dollars loan at 0% interest rate to probably invest in AI and then only return the 100 dollars to those who requested it. Nicely played 🤣
