I have been out of the loop and I wanted to read a detailed (preferably unbiased) account of what happened.

PC parts (infosec.pub)

Where can I buy individual PC parts (like Power Supply Unit and PC Case) in Dublin? I checked Curry's and Harvey Norman both didn't have individual parts.

If you really want to be keep using the service, get a non watermarked random guy's pic (he must be holding something) from the internet, write what they want on a paper and edit the pic so that the guy is holding what you wrote. This might not work because of the personal ID requirement but trying it doesn't hurt.

They usually have a face detection algorithm running along with ocr and rarely check if this is a stock photo. I need to use Instagram to be in the loop. They blocked my account for using Barinsta so I did this and they unblocked it.

How is it still working when other apps are dead?

I hope that the DMA gets passed in the EU. It'll (hopefully) break the monopoly worldwide

Why was it allowed in the first place? Generally I'm pro freedom but in this case the phones should be locked down and there should be a whitelist of apps they can install. It's not a personal phone.

Why do people have to pronounced it in any way? Why not say G-I-F? I've been saying it like that since before I knew about the huge debateđź’€

I always use Github to check if my IPv4 DNS works lol (using ping). So it's definitely a feature /s

You should read about EU's proposed law DMA. It aims to solve this problem of not being able to contact friends if you uninstall WhatsApp (or any other app). The link explains it better lol

This is one of the dumbest shit ngl. My bank also does this. However they go one step further. They force a maximum 12 letter password and 1 character of each type (capital, small, number, symbol) is necessary. This actively reduces password security smh

I tried logging in on browser and I had inspected the request. My password was sent in plaintext. Is this a infosec.pub issue or a Lemmy one?

All MS first party games are on PC because MS owns the PC ecosystem. Not because MS is friendlierđź’€

I tried Ubuntu, Armbian and DietPi. All have some issues. Ubuntu doesn't boot (blinking cursor), Armbian also doesn't boot (i don't remember what it displayed) and dietpi works but it crashes on updating.

I am a complete noob at coffee making. Which device should I get? I keep reading about stuff like French Press, Aeropress, etc but idk which is good and easy to use for a beginner. If it helps, until now I have only drunk instant coffee (with either milk or sugar or both). Thanks in advance!

Edit: Thanks a lot for all the replies guys!

Saw a similar question about podcasts but I personally prefer text content.

I mainly used social media to follow the news but now I am thinking of getting a RSS app and using feeds to follow news. All suggestions are appreciated :)
