Technical question: If he would murder both candidates, could he still become president and pardon himself?

Is there no electron wrapper around ChatGPT yet? Jeez we better hurry, imagine having to use your browser like... For pretty much everything else.

I think overall they are not better or worse than other tech giants. They try to be the platform for blank and thus to push competitors out of the marked, or lock it down so they can't enter. They try to extract as much money from their customers as they can, even if it makes the user experience worse. They push the boundaries of what the can legally do. They charge you, but you don't own anything.

What really grinds my gears is how they try to force stuff on me that I don't fucking want. I feel like they are completely different in that regard than for example Google. I use Google Maps because I want to. I don't use Chrome because I don't want to. It's that easy. They don't ask me to reconsider, they don't make it super complicated to switch, nothing. I can disable any Google App and forget about it.

To stick with the Google comparison, I also feel like Google informs me better and gives me more control regarding my data. This feels much more hidden on convoluted in MS products in general. For example I had no idea Office is basically spyware before reading about it elsewhere. In Google-land, they seem much more upfront about what they use and what I can opt out from (or in to).

Sure sounds like the French way of protesting

I wonder what's the strategy here. If I had to guess I'd say he wants to see them fail miserably, so they lose support as quickly as they got it. I'm not sure that's a good idea tho.

I know this won't help you a whole lot, but I do.

People try their hardest to make computers your friends. Don't be afraid to talk to them 😊

I heard the messages even stay when you delete them. At least people claimed they could recover then, don't know whether that's actually true.

You can use it in a browser or opt for WebCord.

Note that any text send to discord currently stays there forever. I don't know when, but you can bet your ass they will be investigated for a violation of the GDPR, which hopefully stops that for good.

You do need to authorize admin action on Windows and it causes severe security issues, because people do it without thinking all the time.

You can also configure Linux to have this behaviour, but for security reasons it works differently out of the box. Also, some programs, such as many terminal emulators, can cache you PW so you don't have to enter it multiple times.

I use a U2F key for sudo and it's just one touch. One touch you need to sit in front of my computer for.

Holy shit, that is a sweet deal. What I think is more interesting however, is that it's also kinda revealing that they think law works like this in the West - and also what level of control they think is acceptable for a state to have.
