This happens on slower USB devices the data is buffered and the write won’t be complete right away. You can use the “sync” command and wait until it completes to make sure it’s done before you unmount the device. These days KDE shouldn’t let you unmount before it’s done though.

Microsoft has policy that prevents it from retaliatory actions against human rights violations. Court should rule Microsoft violated its own policies…

Fucking pigs. Just let them make their damn calls. It’s already hard enough to get calls out to lawyers and family, who have to have credit card in hand when answering the phone just to talk to you. It’s really messed up. It’s hard enough just to have the opportunity to use one of these pay phones. And that’s if the damn thing actually works…

I’m thankful they’re getting some relief. I don’t understand why anyone thinks trans bans are good. It’s more likely trans youth would die from medical issues and having their literal identity stripped away. We simply don’t have the bandwidth to decide all factors of people’s lives. We have to let people choose for themselves, for better or for worse. The best thing we can do is give them all the facts so moreso than not people are making informed choices.

The whole point of judiciary is to resolve damages and it’s actually really important that they can issue orders quickly to prevent “irreversible damages”, courts use injunctions all the time even before coming to any kind of decision in order to give time for due process to happen. Especially when there is possibility of harm coming to an individual.

I was holding hope for the US Marshalls taking action without the AG calling on them based on what they represent, but they have been helping the Trump with his illegal takeovers of DOGE even assisting with breaking and entering… So it’s probably unlikely they will do anything to assist with reigning in the president.

I stopped using gnome after they removed the ability to edit the menu without going through a bunch of hoops. Their idea of removing complexity involved removing choice and customization. KDE has had superior multi monitor support for a long time.

Tennessee just needs to stop embarrassing itself and stay out of the political game.

It’s still hard to find PCIe 4 stuff lol

Technically all certificates are pinned, especially with public CAs, most OS package the latest CA certs which will all go out of style within 10 years or so. You can see this by loading up any old distro or defunct version of windows.

I’d still be using Ubuntu sometimes if it weren’t for the snaps thing. They only make sense for proprietary software… but snaps still suck. I don’t like packaged software. They contain all kinds of things that can’t be updated. The app store was getting better before all that changed. Now Debian seems better, but I still prefer source based distros like Gentoo because the ingredients come with recipes.

Support matrix!! It already has international support, just needs to be a bit better with stickers and qol stuff. I’ve been using it for years. It’s nice to know I don’t have to worry about my privacy at all with chat rooms that can continue on without the original server.

It’s not actually possible to return one of these cyber trucks due to rules involving sale after purchase.

I added whisper and have never looked back. Sometimes it’s not exactly right but it’s usually obvious and funny 🤣

There’s no way a judge is gonna allow this. Outrageous. The language is way out of scope.

It doesn’t matter if it is a business entity operating under a government then you can never really know because gag orders. Centralized servers can be blocked. Telegram and Signal apps could have a back door. This is why open stack is important. And not just the code. Also encryption is default for p2p one on one conversations. It’s not in channels by default because it can complicate public use.

Yeah the main thing is that the ports and addresses can change and it’s nbd. From a firewall perspective, it’s impossible to block them all. Especially when the clients are doing mundane https requests. Even if the server goes down or partial connectivity, the channel can still be used.

It cannot be easily blocked especially if you use your own homeserver every homeserver replicates the channel and it can operate without the original server! That’s why signal and telegram are inherently flawed.

I can answer this! All matrix calls are over https APIs. Ports and addresses are stored in a text file on the base domain or in DNS txt entry.

Most of the time my desktop is covered, so I use folders on the toolbar
