They are all undercover Hamas members trying to disrupt Israel's political system /s

That's one of the reasons why I love Mullvad, they actually care about their customers, not just about their bottom line

We need a successful replacement to DirectX for this to happen.

Vulkan?

They got rid of port forwarding to improve the reputation of their IP ranges. That makes it less likely for Mullvad users to get blocked by CDNs like Cloudflare and Akamai when visiting websites. If you want port forwarding, just use AirVPN or rent a VPS and use that. Not sure what you're talking about, but Mullvad is based in Sweden, which is not a part of the five eyes alliance. It's a part of 14 eyes, but Sweden has very strong privacy laws, Mullvad even has an entire page about privacy legislation in Sweden: https://mullvad.net/en/help/swedish-legislation

They also have a page that explains how Sweden being part of the 14 eyes alliance doesn't really affect Mullvad: https://mullvad.net/en/blog/5-9-or-14-eyes-your-vpn-actually-safe

Their office was also raided by prosecutors last year, and they weren't able to seize any customer information, because Mullvad doesn't store anything about their customers: https://mullvad.net/en/blog/mullvad-vpn-was-subject-to-a-search-warrant-customer-data-not-compromised https://mullvad.net/en/blog/update-the-swedish-authorities-answered-our-protocol-request

I'm pretty sure they are profitable, considering they were founded in March of 2009. You can't really run a company without profits for 14 years, right? Just routing network traffic isn't that expensive after all. They are the only ones being honest about it, other VPNs charge way more because they only want to extract money from their customers.

Becoming a totalitarian state Being turned into a totalitarian state by China

Awesome

That's ok if you ask me, considering that they will still continue to function as regular thermostats

Yeah because we have an actual working legal system

The image is from this Asahi Linux blog post btw

Go eat a dick Elon

The main purpose of this is actually security. Because when the device is in BFU (before first unlock) state, it's much harder to gain access to the data (without the correct unlock credentials). During the reboot, the encryption keys are wiped from RAM, making it essentially impossible to access the device, since brute-force unlock attempts are prohibited by Weaver API, which is enforced by the Titan M2 hardware security module. You can read more about this at https://grapheneos.org/faq#encryption

Apple Music only raised the price by $1 since the launch in 2015 (9 years ago). But they added cool features like lossless audio quality and Dolby Atmos. They also had lyrics like 6 years before Spotify added them. I think you can even get it for $6 dollars if you're a student.

Mealie is perfect for this use case

That must be a coincidence!

Also check out Radicle, it's basically decentralized Git. @forgejo@floss.social is also working on a federation solution: @ForgeFed@floss.social (https://forgefed.org/)

I highly recommend this Al Jazeera documentary, they seem to be the only ones covering the Boeing controversy who actually have some balls

Not directly related, but if you ever want to watch YouTube videos on a Chromecast (or any Android TV-based device), check out SmartTube. It completely removes all ads and other annoying stuff and massively improves the experience.

It's actually the other way around, the more users you have the cheaper everything eventually becomes

Create a torrent, it will stay up as long as someone keeps seeding it.

Once setup correctly, almost none.

Or even better: GrapheneOS (hardened Android without bloated Google spyware and all the other crap)

I've been using Apple Music on Android for years, I definitely recommend it. The app is totally fine, I think it's still better than Spotify's crappy app. On desktop you can use the Cider app, which is much better than iTunes. It's even available on Linux.

Fuck Nvidia

Instead of improving their shitty cloud subscription BS, they should improve their drivers or just fully open source them so the community can work on it ffs

I switched to Lawnchair a few years ago (IIRC 6 years ago) and it's been a solid experience, I'm very happy with it.

Or Universal Blue in general. They also make Aurora and Bluefin, both are amazing!

Libre Computer offers some SBCs with Amlogic CPUs. I think the Le Potato might be the most popular one. I just ordered an Alta AML-A311D-CC. I'm really excited to try out how well it performs!

It doesn't intentionally disable biometrics. Disabling biometrics is just a logical consequence of wiping the encryption keys from RAM. Your data is encrypted with your password as the key (not exactly, it first goes through a key derivation function, but the PIN/password is the entry point for the KDF). Your biometric information can't decrypt your data, as your data is not encrypted with your biometric information as the key. When using biometrics, the encryption key is kept in RAM, and the biometric data is only validated by the OS. No actual decryption occurs here. The data on your phone is only being decrypted during the first unlock after a reboot. That's why security states are grouped into BFU (before first unlock) and AFU (after first unlock).

Unfortunately they use Chinese CPUs (made by Rockchip)

Not that hard to find another way to host the website.

It's great for documents, etc., but I would use something different for photos. Check out Immich and PhotoPrism. I prefer Immich, because it has official mobile apps for Android and iOS. PhotoPrism has an unofficial gallery app for Android, but it doesn't have sync capabilities. For that, you would need to use a 3rd-party, closed source app called PhotoSync. I think Immich is just the better option.
