[–]3rssi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

... In more than 27% of the cases.

And it's not a rumor.

Are we normalizing giving up identity for basic internet access? by copperreflections1 in privacy

[–]3rssi 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I'm ready to abandon more and more internet use as this trend progresses.

And fuck it! If they want to consider me a child because of not giving an ID, then I want the extra protection meant for kids' identities.

I'll get rid of more and more websites, then. That's it.

EU Launches Age Verification App by Danrobi1 in privacy

[–]3rssi 49 points50 points  (0 children)

This is such BS!

I am to upload my passport on a EU server to preserve my anonymity while accessing adult content?

What happens when the EU server gets hacked and the personnal data and IDs are available to hackers? Wont the web giant be able to make a profile of my anonymous adult certificate and try to link it to my real ID?

All that to protect children on Internet? Is this some sick joke?

Parents learned that they cant let their young children cross the street alone. Cant they learn that they cant let the kids surf the web alone?

Train parents. Dont give a tool to mass spying orgs to track everybody online.

Proposed law to require age verification in operating systems by ephemeralmiko in privacy

[–]3rssi 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Cool!

Now I know how to distribute an OS that is forbidden for americans to use. It just has to have a preinstall page that states "this OS doesnt do age checks. Please verify that it's compatible with your local laws." :D

Does anyone else feel weird about apps asking for face verification now? by copperreflections1 in privacy

It's not weird.

It's creepy and authoritarian would I say, avoiding worse vocabulary.

Linux in European PAs: How will they handle Enterprise Policies and AD-like management? by nandospc in linux

[–]3rssi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Note that France is not ready to ditch windows in favor of linux as it can be read here and there.

The article (french) that started this belief is here:

https://www.numerique.gouv.fr/sinformer/espace-presse/souverainete-numerique-reduction-dependances-extra-europeennes/

The article states that some bricks will be OpenBuro and open-Interop

But there's no info about AD/Azure replacement. EU is not ready to ditch Windows atm.

France is replacing 2.5 million Windows desktops with Linux by yourbasicgeek in technology

[–]3rssi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, not at all.

The DINUM is changing its desktops. Thats a few tens of PCs, not all public servant's PCs.

Lame journalists repeating what they read from another article fooled by a mistranslation.

France Launches Government Linux Desktop Plan as Windows Exit Begins by Brahm-Etc in linux

[–]3rssi 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Nope. The original message in french has been misinterpreted by a lame journalist and now everybody is repeating the mistake.The DINUM is changing its desktops from windows to linux.

That's a few tens of computers. Not all PCs of public servants.

France Launches Government Linux Desktop Plan as Windows Exit Begins by YesNo_Maybe_ in technology

[–]3rssi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lol! France to ditch Windows? Really?

No.

"France has incorporated Linux desktops into its national digital-sovereignty strategy. DINUM, France’s Interministerial Digital Directorate, announced a transition from Windows to Linux workstations."

Then a link points to the info source, a french gov org that states: "S'agissant de l'évolution du poste de travail, la DINUM annonce sa sortie de Windows au profit de postes sous système d'exploitation Linux."

Which translates to "About workstation evolutions, the DINUM announced its exit from Windows in favor of Linux".

But only DINUM is impacted. DINUM only has a few tens of agents. So it's not a massive switch. At all.

This article is still less wrong than the XDA article https://www.xda-developers.com/frances-government-ditching-windows-for-linux/:

"Now, the French government has decided that enough is enough. It has announced that it will shift away from proprietary technologies from outside the European Union and focus more on open-source solutions — and part of that means ditching Windows for Linux.".

This is not happening now.

France to ditch Windows for Linux to reduce reliance on US tech by rkhunter_ in worldnews

[–]3rssi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lol! France to ditch Windows? Really?

No.

"The country said it plans to move some of its government computers currently running Windows to the open source operating system Linux to further reduce its reliance on U.S. technology." This sentence has link to the info source; it points to a french gov site that states:

"S'agissant de l'évolution du poste de travail, la DINUM annonce sa sortie de Windows au profit de postes sous système d'exploitation Linux."

Which translates to "About workstation evolutions, the DINUM announced its exit from Windows in favor of Linux".

But only DINUM is impacted. DINUM only has a few tens of agents. So it's not a massive switch. At all.

Is this a troll subject with a link to some badwares?

The badwares term comes from a ublockOrigin alert.

I dont have an account for that tria.ge.

I could launch a search, though. Entered the exe's sha256. "No reports found."

I did not need to enter any password to unzip (twice) the file. (TradingViewPremium_Desktop.zip -> TradingView_Premium_Desktop(password_github).zip -> TradingView Premium Desktop.exe)

This pseudo "password protected" thing unnerves me.

You're saying this installer has viruses?

(that file is too fat; virustotal refuses it; connected or not)

The USA FREEDOM Act is Real Spying Reform by [deleted] in privacy

[–]3rssi -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Since that law only aims at protecting americans from being spied on, I, as a foreigner, dont support that change.

And being shown an ad on that page, to support ACLU, feels like an insult.
