Weiß jetzt nicht wies mit der körperlichen Fitness wirklich aussieht, aber für die geistige Fitness ists definitiv besser als nur daheim zu hocken. Wenn man natürlich anderweitig beschäftigt ist (Gemeinde, Familie, Vereine), hat das den gleichen Effekt. Ich seh halt bei uns die (Früh-)Rentner teilweise daheim langsam psychisch vergammeln.

Why should it be? A faulty software update from a 3rd party crashes the operating system. The exact same thing could happen to Linux hosts as well with how much access those IPSec programms usually get.

Nur weil man privat mit Windows defender und einer basic Firewall auskommt, heißt das noch lange nicht, dass große Firmen das auch tun. Noch dazu hat Linux im Bereich Cybersecurity quasi keinen Unterschied zu Windows. Privat kann man sich den Antivirus sparen weil:

1. die Nutzerbasis zu klein ist/war
2. Linux Anwendungen normalerweise aus bekannten Repositories kommen
3. die Nutzer sich mit Technik auskennen und selbst als Antivirus fungieren

Als größere Firma (vor allem Banken und kritische Infrastruktur) muss man permanent mit Angriffen von außen und innen rechnen. Ne einfache Firewall hilft dir da nicht mal gegen nen basic DDoS Angriff.

Klar kann man viel abdecken durch einfache Mittel wie gut gemanagte Zugriffrechte und das Sperren von USB ports, aber das schützt halt hauptsächlich vor der Dummheit/Unwissenheit der eigenen Mitarbeiter.

Das soll auch nicht heißen, dass alles in so einem Software Packet relevant ist, da ist sicherlich auch viel unnützer Müll dabei. Aber ganz ohne IPSec Tools kommt man nicht weit.

Google builds entire datacenters with their own transformers and power lines, if not their own powerplants. You plug these datacenters directly into the high voltage networks that don’t have big capacity problems.

The low voltage grids in residential areas on the other hand were build as cheap as possible, so increasing the load by 20% is already too much for most of them.

Newer panels usually don’t have that big of an issue with partial shading, but it definetly isn’t optimal.

And what can there be done against it?

Chromium is already an open source project that no one is obligated to use in any way. You can’t ban Google from developing their own project and you can’t ban others from using the established codebase for their own browser.

That has nothing to do with age. Most people nowadays are so used to instant gratification that they struggle with stuff that only helps them in the long term, me included. Last time I tried to seriously sit down and learn I caught myself doing dishes and watering plants after not even 30mins.

Let’s be honest, opt in telemetry features will collect so little data they might es well not exist.

Considering that ot is supposed to reduce user tracking by tracking ads directly, it’s a net gain for everyone.

That’s not a US specific thing, it’s the exact same in pretty much all first world countries. Even if your stuff isn’t manufactured by literal slaves, its build by Eastern European minimum wage slaves that aren’t treated much better than literal ones.

Or have a public social media account and a ‘business’ one I use to share my own music or something? My dual-boxing MMO accounts?

Wanna bet that you are already breaking TOS with both of these things? And I don’t mean SimpleLogins TOS, but the one of the social media platform and MMO. Most big platforms only allow one account per user, no matter how the account is used. Sometimes you can create a business account, but that’s still linked to your private one. Same goes for pretty much any online game, you are limited to one account per person.

I don’t think that there is any sense behind these limitations, but simplelogin isn’t concerned about that, they only care about the legality of your actions and limit their service accordingly.

They get that same location data with or without maps. As long as you are using stock android, Google knows exactly where you’ve been even if you enable airplane mode. They get your position with WiFi networks and other phones around you and store that data with timestamps. Maps doesn’t give them any extra data, it simply binds you into their ecosystem.

Technically yes, but the Google and Googlegetmanager scripts are used in so many cases that you want to keep them active permanently.

Considering that most VPN adresses are linked to suspicious, if not outright illegal, activity, its quite reasonable to assume that they end up on automatic block lists.

They struggle with finding a good/the right man to keep long term, but simply getting a date takes half an hour on tinder while they can choose between 50+ guys in their immediate neighbourhood.

And this isn’t even purely my imagination, it’s annecdotal from things my sister pulled off.

You are definetly in a bubble, even if its a pretty big one. Owning a pc is pretty much a prerequisite for going into comp-science or working in IT.

Out of all the 30 odd people I know of at my workplace, one other apart from me has a gaming pc, and two others have consoles. The rest doesn’t play any games at all.

As a general rule, the goal is simply to assume control over the government, as is the case in Ukraine.

Yeah no, that’s just plain wrong. Russia, at the very least, is committing cultural genocide if not much worse. Ukrainian families get broken up so their kids can be better indoctrinated.

Tbh, that’s pretty much the only thing Youtube did in the last few years that I can’t really complain about. I despise their business tactics, but using your VPN to get regional prices just fucks it up for everyone. In first world countries, it’s one or two hours of work. The same price in poor countries would be up to a monthly wage, that’s why it costs them less. Abusing this will only end in most companies removing regional differences and blocking VPNs completely.

There are other methods to get the same functionality, use them instead of creating problems for others.

Vanadium is purposefully made this way. It tries to minimise profiling by making your actions noise in a big mass of users. That only works if you use the standard config without anything to discern you.

Mull is the other extreme of this. They try to eliminate fingerprinting by reducing the amount of trackable things in your browser.

It’s hard to say what really is the better option. You can’t completely eliminate fingerprinting, and the more you try, the more you will stick out of the masses.

If the game is DRM free on GOG it usually only has the Steamworks DRM on steam. That one is so easy to remove that you might aswell call it DRM free since its only use is to make publishers think their game is protected.

There is nothing that Valve could change about this with the current way games are licensed.

All your Steam account is is a collection of lifetime leasing contracts between you and the seller. Steam already forces third parties to give you liftime access even if the game is pulled from the store page, but that contract gets voided once one of the two parties ceases to exist, be it the buyer or the studio that sells the game.

Legally binding the games to your account instead of you also isn’t possible since in most countries you either have to be a real person or a registered entity to form contracts.
