California, New York, Texas, Brazil, the UK, I think at least 2 more states as well…this is only the beginning. Everybody is jumping on the surveillance state/data broker hype train.

If only there was a way to stop that in democracies…

per shitty feature.

Wrong

May as well just use LibreWolf, or some other browser or fork.

No, it's a security risk as I explained in the very comment you replied to.

Same it systemd and any distro that has it as default. May as well just spare yourself a lot of bother, and just use something that has already removed the malicious “features”.

If you want to use an understaffed niche distribution, go ahead. It's a security risk to you and everybody else who gets affected by your insecure OS but you do you.

So I would too change distro to a non systemd one, although options might be quite limited.

Just use the regular, non-California edition of your regular distribution instead of jumping through hoops for a feature that doesn't affect almost the entire planet anyway.

I will simply not store any data there. There is no need to resort to building my own distribution with a systemd fork, just as I don’t use this week´s Firefox fork because the shitty features of Firefox can be disabled with 1 click.

Using barely maintained forks because of optional features is a security risk.

I don't like age verification either but that feature is optional and it's up to the OS distributor to use it or not. Picking a distribution that doesn't use it is easier than building your own distribution with a systemd fork.

Looks dope

They say that the leadership behind Manjaro does not line up with the actual developers and community involved in it, noting that Manjaro has become “one individual’s personal project, and everything is centralized around this single individual”

So just leave to one of the other existing Arch spin offs?

meld is pretty cool, yes.

Is your answer whatever Gemini happens to hallucinate on a given day?

Still waiting for the day Steam bites the bullet and just publish titles DRM free by default

They already do. Steam DRM is explicitly opt-in and the Steamdwork documentation even underlines that Steam DRM is a very weak form of DRM. Denuvo isn't by Valve/Steam and also opt-in.

It is, and I genuinely worry that Microsoft will bitch about it.

The software is called Meet. Visio is just the name of the name of the government platform Meet is running on which is internal use only.

hate when people use browser to draw UI in applications 😅

Really shows that bad web-based UX is the fault of the developer and not the technology.
