That’s it, I’m calling the police.

Let he who is without sin cast the first stone.

If you’re going to just post straight-up clickbait, the least you can do is put the TLDR in the post summary.

OsmAnd puts essential features behind a paywall, like unlimited map downloads and CarPlay support.

An impending sense of doom? Or a sense of impending doom?

It appears to have all of the downsides of a centralized payment processor (like PayPal, Visa, etc.) and also all of the downsides of a crypto-currency. I would avoid this clusterfuck like the plague.

Taler does not require any Blockchain technology, and is also not based on proof-of-work or any other distributed consensus mechanism.

Your wallet stores digital cash and thus ultimately your computer holds your balance. The Taler Exchange keeps funds matching all unspent digital cash in a settlement account.

Since Taler’s digital cash in your wallet is anonymized, the exchange cannot assist you in recovering a lost or stolen wallet. Just like with a physical wallet for cash, you are responsible for keeping it safe.

In case of a compromise of one of your devices, an attacker can spend digital cash from your wallet.

Taler e-money is issued with a validity period. One month before the expiration date, your wallet should automatically exchange any digital cash that is about to expire for new digital cash with an extended validity period. However, if your wallet is offline for an extended period of time, it may be unable to do so. Ensure your wallet is regularly online to avoid losing money due to expiration!

I think the whole thing is AI generated.

Everything is ISO-8859-1 right? Right?

Trying to monetize the piracy of your users. That’s a bold business strategy.

Look, I know a lot of people could be using the sharing feature to share material that is in the public domain or that they own the copyright to, but let’s be honest: most of that sharing would be considered an “unlicensed public performance” by the MAFIAA.

Sorry, I didn’t think this would need further elaboration as to why it is relevant to your initial question.

Which (Lenovo) notebooks to buy

Why would anyone trust this company to provide them with hardware that they will use for sensitive tasks that handle personal data?

Just because you are reinstalling the OS does not mean that you can implicitly trust the hardware. There are many forms that a manufacturer backdoor can take, and WPBT has shown that Windows is not clean after a reinstall. Similarly, Linux is vulnerable to binary injection by the UEFI firmware.

You don’t have to agree with my opinion, and I wouldn’t shame you for buying a Lenovo device, but you cannot dispute the relevance of my comment. I put it there for the benefit of people who don’t know about Lenovo’s prior scandals and who, like me, would take that as a signal to reject their products.

It appears to spawn a curl process to send the email by constructing a string using user-supplied values. I don’t know what checks Guile Scheme does on system calls, but I would guess you are vulnerable to command injection here. That’s not ideal for something you want to deploy as a micro-service.

libcurl has bindings for Guile, you should use those instead: https://github.com/spk121/guile-curl

Again, nothing to do with Microsoft’s cloud platform.

Oh I see. That’s just measuring tracking scripts on websites. It’s not particularly relevant to what is discussed in the article (data sovereignty of cloud providers).

I could also edit the URL manually, it’s just an obnoxious way to respond to a question.

You’re going to link me to youtube shorts?

Please, no.

Certainly the Blacklight test show that Microsoft EU respect way more the privacy (forced by law) than Microsoft US.

What test?

If you go to your Settings page, there’s a Blocks tab which has a text-entry field where you can type in a community name to block it.

This marks the end of the beginning of the end.
