Microsoft: "My PC" by ShotDonkey in c/linuxmemes@lemmy.world

[-] ShotDonkey@lemmy.world 16 points 1 month ago

Nope. My Linux Mint randomly wakes up from sleep mode all the time. It's just a bug. Tried to fix it, never found solution. I guess I am fine with it. Well. Not really. Help me if you can!!11!!

DON'T SPREAD STUPID SH*** LIKE THAT.

What a BS honestly, I am fully anti Trump but this does not help at all. Why? Some examples:

You think supporting European faschist enablers (e.g. Red Bull) is better than [insert random US company here] is just silly.
Do your homework: Capri Sun is German, not American, gosh.
Blueeky is NOT non-profit, stop spreading misinfirmation

And what has always, in all history, been the most effective metod to deflect from incompetence and one's own corruption? Yes. It will still be a military superpower by then. I hope I am wrong and that the people in the US act swiftly.

ÖRR Shitshow - bitte helft mir es zu verstehen by ShotDonkey in c/dach@feddit.org

Das stimmt offensichtlich nicht. Hab mittlerweile ein wenig recherchiert, es hat sich sehr wohl was verändert, z.B. ist Schäubles Tochter Christine Strobl Programmdirektorin geworden. https://de.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christine_Strobl_(Medienmanagerin)

Danke. Ich habe eine andere Meinung. Also broken clock is right twice a day, and still you don't use it.

Meine Frage zielt auf das größere Ganze ab.

ÖRR Shitshow - bitte helft mir es zu verstehen (lemmy.world)

Noch bis Ende Corona war die AfD noch pfui und wurde fast nicht in den deutschen ÖRR eingeladen. Nicht ausgesprochene Programmpolitik war: mit Rechtsradikalen spricht man nicht. Zeitsprung. 2025 sitzt in fast jeder wichtigen Polittalkshow eine*r von denen und wenn nicht, werden trotzdem AfD Themen diskutiert. Die allgemeine Diskursverschiebung nach (radikal) rechts in den letzten Jahren hat glaub ich jeder mitgekriegt. Neuster journalistischer Tiefpunkt: Die Tagesschau nennt im verlinkten Artikel die Heritage Foundation (Hauptautorin von Project 2025) ohne Scham als seriöse Quelle dafür was in den VS gerade passiert (Kurzzusammenfassung: alle lieben Trump, gehen Sie weiter, es gibt nichts zu sehen). Ich hab das Gefühl grob was verpasst zu haben. Wer kann mir erklären was in den letzten 3 Jahren hinter den Kulissen beim ÖRR/Das Erste passiert ist??

Teslas turn toxic as sales crash in Europe and the UK | EV sales in the region are growing, but not for Tesla by ShotDonkey in c/technology@lemmy.world

The soundtrack of my youth. Genious.

How does the combination of Mullvad and Tuta services compare to Proton unlimited? by ShotDonkey in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world

[-] ShotDonkey@lemmy.world 19 points 3 months ago

Switzerland does not have the strongest data protection laws in the world. Don't fall for the Proton marketing bs. Some NATO countries (Germany e.g.) have better laws.

Proton is dead (for me). Let's collect and discuss alternatives! ✊🛡 by ShotDonkey in c/privacy@lemmy.ml

OK I think I will move to Posteo. Great security, privacy focussed, servers in Germany, running with 100% renewable energy. Prices are ok, too. Ticks all boxes.

Proton CEO embraces Trump for "standing up for the little guys" by ShotDonkey in c/privacy@lemmy.ml

No, it's not only one person in the board. They confirmed their stance via their official Mastodon account. https://lemmy.ca/comment/13913116

In an unexpected mask off "secure" email and VPN provider Proton took the stance of siding with the fascist MAGA Reps. Proton's services are no option for me and many others any longer. Let's collect and discuss alternatives (E2E encrypted email and VPN) here 🔐👇

Always try to provide:

-Server location (jurisdiction)

-Governance

-Integrity/trustworthiness/transparency

-User experience/ease of use (grade 1 to 10, lets take Proton as a benchmark with an 8)

-Pricing and links

If you know alternative setups, feel free to share, too.

Fuck, they are dumb and bad businessmen. What's the reason still to chose their product over Tuta, Posteo, Mullvad? They have lost their unique selling point as at least pretending being a neutral instance providing private services. Plain stupidity.

Yes you are right, and no you are not. It is concerning and something to stay vigilent about in the upcoming times.

Unnecessary and deeply concerning bow to the new "king"

Update: position got backed up by an official Proton post on Mastodon, it's an official Proton statement now. https://mastodon.social/@protonprivacy/113833073219145503

Update 2, plot-twist: they removed this response from Mastodon - seems they realize it exploded into their face!

Running local LLMs for privacy as an alternative to ChatGPT, MS Copilot etc.? (www.youtube.com)

What are your thoughts on #privacy and #itsecurity regarding the #LocalLLMs you use? They seem to be an alternative to ChatGPT, MS Copilot etc. which basically are creepy privacy black boxes. How can you be sure that local LLMs do not A) "phone home" or B) create a profile on you, C) that their analysis is restricted to the scope of your terminal? As far as I can see #ollama and #lmstudio do not provide privacy statements.
