You got some great answers already :)

Let me just add that, in general, it’s expected to have executable files inside your home directory.

For example, ~/.local/bin is intended for user executables and usually added to the $PATH, and a lot of package managers (such as cargo, go, pip,…) will install applications under ~ (Steam also does that).

I must say, this is really creepy.

In your shoes, I’d put some effort into explaining what (legitimate) use case you have, least people won’t be much inclined to help.

Basically, the only way is to disconnect the TV and use it as a dumb screen. Lineageos supports a few set top boxes (see here).

I heard (take it as hearsay) that some smart TV periodically capture screenshots of what’s on screen and upload it, so it actually disconnecting the tv from the network could (again, hearsay) make a real difference.

It’s no secret that we trade our information for access to the Internet.

I pay a monthly subscription for access to the Internet (actually two: one for the landline and one for my phone).

So what do you prefer a subscription based Internet with privacy protection or a free internet with companies allowed to take and sell your data

Either one would be better than what we have now, which is not free and not private.

What’s crashing? the Linux host? Virtualbox? the windows guest?

(personally I won’t be able to help you, but other people might)

Well, at least the one he used for thruth is safe (mastodon IIRC?)

I don’t use that so I’m mostly shooting in the dark, but… does caps:escape_shifted_capslock do what you want?

(source: localectl list-x11-keymap-options | grep esc)

The title is missing a second part: “after China, the US, Russia, the UK, etc.”.

I get that privacy is potentially in danger if chatcontrol passes (ie. it’s not right now) and that to raise awareness is worthwhile, but misrepresenting one of the best places privacy-wise as “one of the greatest threats” is just dishonest.

I tried adding backslashes to escape, it still looks fine on lemmy.ml but your app may be bugged (and possibly vulnerable to xss? can you see the script block after the closed bracket?) <script>alert(‘you should not see an alert’)</script>

Ommigod, these kids :)

SVG comes XML (a more coherent/simple version of the SGML that is behind HTML), and specifically from a time where people took XML and made it hyper-complicated with a flurry of extensions and specifications (look up “xml namespaces” “xslt” “xml schema”).

The most apparent difference between SGML and XML is than in the former you write tags like <br> without a corresponding </br>, and in the latter you have to close them like <br/> (which is shorthand for <br></br>).

So… today you learned that what you learned earlier today was close to truth, but not true :)

PS: A lot of document formats are undercover/zipped XML (eg. the libre office documents, IIRC microsoft’s .xlsx and .docx). This is not dissimilar to how json/yaml are widely used today.

Based on a US distro whose versions are supported for 1 year, and “built to the requirements for the EU public sector” (because the EU public sector has one coherent set of requirements and the dev knows them, even if he doesn’t list them out).

This is most probably good-intentioned and it is admirable how the dev sprung into action, but it’s naive at best.

Visitors to the US have been asked if they were members of the communist party since forever though?

IDK if those who replied “yes” would be sent back, but I do remember reading about Chinese communist party members being denied entry to the US.

I don’t see much difference between this and that as far as the 1st amendment is concerned… aren’t you idealizing the 1st amendment (and/or how seriously the US takes it)?

PS: let me make clear that I’m not trying to defend the indefensible behaviour of the Trump administration in any way

You must have an outdated version. The current version is “We announce that there must be no criticism of the President, and that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong. Anything else is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.”

I know :) that’s why I was asking if anybody else did it instead of campaigning for more people to do it

(tangentially related)

Do you guys intentionally half-ass your capchtas or am I the only one?

eg. when Google asks me to recognize traffic lights, I intentionally make some errors to decrease the quality of data they harvest

Generally speaking, if someone asks/talks about some local topic without bothering to specify where they live, you can just assume they live in the US :)

no

And… what started out as honest advice, ended up being a preventive strike against Internet villains. Very Internet-villain-like, I must say :D

Does it run lineage? Any other FOSS, third party OS? No? Hard pass.
