And if they have access to your computer, they can get much more useful information, both for extortion and surveillance.

If someone has enough access to your system to covertly use the camera, then the camera is the last thing you need to worry about.

Nobody is interested in looking at you. Getting your payment data, or private data, that is much more interesting.

In the railway context an engineer was the person who worked the engine.

In German the word comes from Latin roughly meaning inventor. Presumably the general usage of the word engineer in English has the same etymology.

Very often they do. Many of these internal applications are from mainframe computer times when interacting with applications exclusively via the keyboard shortcuts was the norm. In most companies, they never dared to remove those because the Power Users are used to them for decades.

Problem is, few people are trained directly by those power users so they never learn those efficient shortcuts. And they are never well documented.

KeePass autotype is amazing for these situations. Very customizable.

Cybersecurity costs would also likely go down due to most malware being exploited isn’t targeting desktop Linux.

Which is going to change once any sort of widespread adoption happens.

But at least in my circles, malware really isn’t that big of a deal in security. Phishing is where the danger is these days, where the costs occur.

Emoji are part of unicode. And people demand more of them, so it’s no surprise they put effort into those, even if OP thinks they are not important.Few people appreciate the unicode consortium for their originally intended work.

Once you set it up it’s fine, but on first opening you have to click through a bunch of menus (no, I don’t want to share data, no I don’t want to sync my account, and so on). In other browsers it’s a small popup in the corner which you can ignore, and just google what you wanted to google. In edge they’re fullscreen and you have to click no on each one.

Probably a rather unique problem because I regularly set up new machines, most people just go through it once and never see it again.

Oh so it’s not just my country where for some reason the right suddenly is super fussed about cash. I just assumed they made some supid press conferences again to distract from some scandal, as they do.

Having the option to pay cash is super important for privacy, but those people do not have our best interest in mind.

That’s a really creative scam, I respect that.

I bought most of my equipment on the local classifieds website. If you’re patient, there are always companies closing down branch offices or something, selling racks and stuff for cheap if you come pick it up.

This is discord, right? So what do they even discuss there? I don’t know what there is to talk about.

The average FOSS enthusiast never was the target market for Red Hat. Big corporations whose purchasing departments like expensive support contracts are the target market. And for those, not much changes, and even if it did, those places don’t just switch to another distro on a whim.
