Technology@beehaw.org•Reddit is profitable for the first time ever, with nearly 100 million daily usersEnglish
77·1 year agoWell and behind it is stealing other peoples’ work (posts and comments, moderation and administration) and selling them as yours. The oldest capitalist criminal trick in the book: privatization AKA primitive accumulation AKA enclosure of the commons.

Technology@lemmy.ml•Surveillance Watch – an interactive map revealing the intricate connections between surveillance companies, their funding sources and affiliationsEnglish
4·2 years agoIt’s the heavy graphics used which looks like it uses WebGL and this is disabled in LibreWolf since it can easily be used for fingerprinting a user. It would be great if they could not use such heavy graphics if WebGL is not supported and just used simple static image or something like that. Well it would be great in general not just for privacy reasons.
Yeah I am so glad I switched to GNU/Linux years ago, Have to keep supporting closed OSes at work with our software and with each release they are just getting worse and worse, while GNU/Linux just keeps getting better.

Free and Open Source Software@beehaw.org•KDE Plasma 6.1 releasedEnglish
6·2 years agoDepends on the specific distro and their upgrades policies.
Usually with normal distributions you get an update to a new major version (e.g. from Plasma 6.0 to Plasma 6.1, or some versions can be skipped) when a new version of the distribution gets released, and in the mean time you only get bug fix releases (e.g. 6.0.x to 6.0.y). Sometimes some distributions also make special backports available to bring new major versions to same distro version.
With rolling release distributions (e.g. openSUSE Tumbleweed) you get new major releases in a few days after they are released.
So you need to check with Nobara how they handle this.

Technology@lemmy.ml•KDE Neon shows that the Plasma 6 Linux distro is something truly specialEnglish
1·2 years agoSo not even with setting the Width option to Fill Width and Style with disabled Floating option? (see this picture for refeence)

3·2 years agoYeah I hear good things about qemu. Will really have to reserve some time to learn it some day. And just for kicks I have just tried and installed KDE Neon into VirtualBox too, and damn I am actually surprised how fast Plasma runs under it, definitely faster than Plasma 5 did. Another job well done :)

51·2 years agoYeah also don’t like the dock, but with KDE Plasma at least you can make it full width as it is so nicely customizable. VM, oooo I wonder how it will run there, I guess it will be quite slow, at least Plasma 5 was a lot slower in VB for me than later on real hardware, so it might not be well representative.

Technology@lemmy.ml•EXCLUSIVE: Lenovo is working on a Windows PC gaming handheld called the 'Legion Go'
3·3 years agoNo thanks. We don’t need more closed and bloated spyware, what we need is more open and privacy respecing OSes like GNU/Linux and devices using it like Steam Deck.
Yup very bloated spyware

Technology@lemmy.ml•Facebook turns over mother and daughter’s chat history to police resulting in abortion chargesEnglish
4·3 years agoThe main point to know is if you do not encrypt it with keys generated localy on your machine and encrypt it locally, then you can not be sure it really is E2E encrypted. If a corporation does it for you with their keys they can ready anything so this kind of E2E is more or less marketing bullshit and Apple is guilty of this too.

Technology@lemmy.ml•Figma is now free for all US K-12 school studentsEnglish
18·3 years agoStraight from the old Big Tabacco playbook of traps. Give away free stuff to get you addicted while in school and then when you are out they start profiting on your bad habbit you are hard to get rid off. Better to use software that is free for ever and even better if it is also free as in freedom and opensource.
