155·14 hours agoAnd nothing of value will have been lost. It’s pretty clear that people don’t care about surveillance or influence, or whatever. They just want to be popular and/or be distracted. Once Red Book bans them, sequesters them, or limits their access somehow, they’ll have to migrate again, and I bet the majority won’t pick a fediverse alternative.
172·14 hours agoLOL. Apple makes shoddy hardware but Apple fanboys have to find the blame somewhere else of course. Could never be Apple making a mistake. No no no, somebody else fucked up.
Also, if Apple’s major defense is obfuscation, well…
This isn’t even humor, this is the truth!
For those who don’t play the Witcher 3, what does this mean?
2·1 day agoThanks for the tip! Forgot that was possible. Done.

Edit: it’ll probably go to court.
It’s a systemd service running the java app. But I figured it out. See the edit.

That website is terrible on mobile. Goddamn. They also immediately go into the history of why they exist. Nobody new will care. I just want to see what’s happening, where, and how (online, offline). The why should be I’m the “about us” section or something, not the front-page.
Such a popcorn moment, honestly. I wonder where they’ll go to once Red Note blocks US Americans. They might be able to go back to tick tock if the US backpedals, but if not… is pixelfed or whatever fediverse alternative exists really ready to absorb 700M accounts?

I’m not saying “immediately”. He can take his time and make a decision or wait to see if they’ll pester him further or if it’ll even go to court.
For me, I’d just not bother with being in the unknown and just change the name to something unique, so that next time someone comes along, I can tell them fuck off because I did my research.
@corvus@lemmy.ml but you can use qbittorrent with I2P 😉
IANAL
While unfortunate, it seems like a legit case. Especially given how similar the apps are. One character off is quite confusing for a potential customer 🤷
I’d just rename the app and move on. Pick a different name that doesn’t come straight out of the English dictionary and is unique.

Wow, that’s exactly what I was looking for! Thanks dude.
First off
sudostands for “super user do” i.e “do something as the super user”. The super user is root.sudo --shellstarts a shell with super user / root privileges.sudo someCommandrunssomeCommandwith super user privileges.In windows, for a really long time, your user had admin rights. When windows Vista came along, Microsoft had finally understood that that was a pretty bad idea and copied linux (or unix? whatever). That popup you get when installing stuff asking you for admin access? That’s a form of
sudo someCommandwith an interface built on top. You’ll get to see that in linux desktop environments too for example when you want to install new packages or update your system.The reason why it’s a bad idea to always have admin access without a password, is that if you are ever infected or you forget your computer unlock, somebody can’t just install something at system level. It’s a small hurdle, but every little bit counts. It also allows you to separate users between those that do have the right to login as the root user and those that don’t.
Users without super user access are quite common as an additional form of security because if they are infested or a process being run by them is, then it’s more difficult for them to infect other users. For example if you have a user called
chatserverthat runs theircd(IRC daemon) process, if your daemon (aka service) is hacked, the most damage they should be able to do is extract the data thechatserveruser has access to. They won’t be able to access your userdata as it’s stored in/home/yourusername, which can only be accessed by theyourusernameuser and theyourusernamegroup (plus ofcourseroot).It’s not a 100% fault-proof system, but it’s better than stepping into your house and having access to the master bedroom and your safe without having the key to it.
Everything is a remix.
