Microsoft has access, and everything is for sale. So, maybe? Probably? 🤷

TUI - Text User Interface

If anyone else, like me, didn’t know. I probably should have. Maybe I did, and forgot.

Here might not be a bad place. If nothing else, be pointed in the right direction. Any specifics of what you want to know about?

What did SO do to warrant such emotion?

There is no law that governs Linux development related to this, enywhere else. There is only a law in CA that requires this functionality (which would break any and all software infrastructure). Why would any maintainer of any Linux distribution, not actively dependent on following an untested law (from a legal PoV), even consider implementing it? This got a lot of headlines, because it’s absurd and stupid.

If maintainers wanted to comply, what the fuck would it actually entail? 99% of operating system doesn’t have any specific human users to identify. The only reasonable approach is to ignore it. If data centers in CA for Azure, AWS, GCP, or any other, wants to comply with this (which is impossible), either spend some of that tax free revenue to combat Meta’s suspected 2 billion USD effort in getting these online ID laws pushed through.

So, what about an operating system is restricted material? That’s what this law requires.

Edit: wow, you’re all over the place here. Are you paid (perhaps run?) by Meta?

The weird thing about this is that this wouldn’t be against any law anywhere, except the state of California… So, why wouldn’t this be adequately solved by not giving a fuck?

In 20 years of using Linux, I’ve only had a broken Linux four times. Four of those times, it was because of Windows being shit.

Sheesh. Another community I’m more than happy to ignore.

Which brings me back to. “What are you saying?”. Banning from what?

It doesn’t explain the previous comment tho. The “block Linux” is what I’m not getting. Did you mean drop Linux native, because proton/wine is so good that it isn’t necessary?

What are you talking about?

That’s cool. We do it the boring way of getting a notification to the hassio app. It unfortunately uses google’s notification api, and I’m not too happy with Google knowing when I do laundry.

Laundry machine can be monitored reliably with a smart socket.

Here is a blueprint for HomeAssistant that has been working well: https://community.home-assistant.io/t/detect-and-monitor-the-state-of-an-appliance-based-on-its-power-consumption-v2-1-1-updated/421670

That part threw me off. Last time i used it, I did incremental backups of a 500 gig disk once a week or so, and it took 20 seconds max.

That’s what we call having hundred of untouched games in the steam library. Right?

Having used pixel phones as long as they’ve been around, and used some AOSP based OS, I cannot imagine what it would be to not be able to block network access on a per-application basis.

Calculator app? No, you don’t need to read my contacts or network access to ship it to God knows who. Keyboard app that is an ipso keylogger, also no. Launcher, no… Image gallery? Fuck off.

I trust companies to do the wrong thing, always. They all sell your data. If they ever get caught, the punishment will be less than what they made by it, so why wouldn’t they.

Considering that FFI is very much a thing, I’m finding it difficulty to understand the point it’s trying to make.

Microsoft/Windows has a habit of messing up for Linux in despite being on separate partitions. I’ve experienced:

• overwrite existing grub
• write its boot sector on a disk it didn’t identify (was part of a software raid setup… So that was fun)
• acquire a lock on devices and not release it even when restarting, so on Linux the “WiFi adapter suddenly doesn’t work”. -… Probably more.

IMO, try out a live USB. Dual boot if you want. But as soon as you can, ditch windows entirely.
