They’re in on collecting data, like every other company

Are we the same person?

I basically only play with the mouse and bird characters

I mostly play quick games, trying to come up with new combos and strategies

I find myself playing more and more Backpack Hero

I cannot stress enough how much I don’t want to write code on a tablet

Came here to say this. You think it’s a joke but the joke’s on you

I agree the price is pretty high for what it is, but I wonder how much adding a headphone jack would actually affect it.

I bought the Fairphone 5 and yeah, I miss not having the jack and I see no reason to take it out

I heard that person actively contributed for something like 2 years, providing actually useful contributions, to gain the level of trust needed to plant that backdoor. Feels a bit too much to chalk it up to boredom.

As for the second part, that’s an interesting question. Are there lots of backdoors and we just happened to notice this one, or are backdoors very rare exactly because we’d have found them out soon like in this case?

Windows licenses AFAIK are already rarely bought on their own. The vast majority of users get one by having it bundled to a new device they purchase.

It’s been a while since I’ve played it but it is fun. I might just have to install it again

I was thinking about the technical details and didn’t stop to consider the implications, nice answer.

Also unexpected lost in space reference.

USB-A’s legacy lives on

I don’t know how much the windows installer lets you choose regarding partitions, but assuming you can and given my probably dated knowledge still applies:

You’ll have to install windows to it’s partition and then force a boot into Linux from the BIOS to reinstall grub, and then you’ll be able to choose your starting system.

It’s not what you’re looking for, but I think in this context Jamendo deserves a mention.

I found lots of great songs and artists there that I listen to daily.

Terminator is the one I’ve been using for a while

But you have to admit a car called Pear must have a froot

I find the thought of eating insects disgusting.

That said, I think outlawing or opposing it is so absurd it’s ridiculous. Just like banning lab meat.

Don’t want to eat it? Then don’t. But why should you force that choice on others? I suspect this is nothing more than political shenanigans in most cases, just another topic with an easy gut answer to stir up the masses over nothing at all.
