newdee··on Jeffrey Epstein exchanged 447 emails with Elon Musk
“Low IQ people”

I just had to look at your post history.

Yep.

newdee··on Resizing windows on macOS Tahoe – the saga continues
If I recall, you just hold option whilst clicking the green button and you get the old behaviour
newdee··on Microsoft account bugs locked me out of Notepad – Are thin clients ruining PCs?
True, but someone writing for a site called windowscentral.com has a business interest in being a windows guy. Although I find it funny to imagine them furtively using Linux.
newdee··on British drivers over 70 to face eye tests every three years
But if she’s unfit to drive, should she still be allowed to drive?
newdee··on Putting Gemini to Work in Chrome
This is satire, right?
newdee··on Prediction markets are ushering in a world in which news becomes about gambling
Comparing crusty old stock markets to the mass appeal of shiny, low-barrier-to-entry Polymarket is somewhat naive.
newdee··on Everyone hates OneDrive, Microsofts cloud app that steals and deletes files
> supposedly most cheaters were connecting via Linux clients

I always find this so hard to believe, mainly because the majority of players are on Windows, which means that the market for cheats is there and statistically most likely to happen there.

I just don’t play games by devs that snub Linux. There are many to choose from.

newdee··on Trump says Venezuela’s Maduro captured after strikes
I think the democracy you want is not the same as the invaders want
newdee··on The Going Dark initiative or ProtectEU is a Chat Control 3.0 attempt
Which VPN provider doesn’t have their addresses flagged? I know a few offer “residential” IP addresses (for quite the premium), but as I understand it, these are a bit of a grey area and are also usually shared, so usually just a matter of time until they’re banned or flagged as proxy/shared/anonymiser.
newdee··on GitHub postponing the announced billing change for self-hosted GitHub Actions
For now
newdee··on Stop Breaking TLS
You didn’t look it up, did you?
newdee··on Bye, Mom
Driving is privilege, not a right.

The outcome of what’s being suggested comes with all the same issues and evils of genetic eugenics. Think of how fucked up things would have to get to even police and enforce such a nightmarish system. It’s absurd.

newdee··on Bye, Mom
Ah yes, eugenics, that’ll make everything better.
newdee··on iOS 26.2 fixes 20 security vulnerabilities, 2 actively exploited
This has been a thing since 26.1 I believe.
newdee··on Stop Breaking TLS
Yeah, it most certainly does. Very noticeable on iOS. I don’t know if this is an Apple specific thing, or if it’s a similar story on Android.

It’s WireGuard underneath, which is designed to not be very chatty when idle, so I’d put this down to regular back and forth with Tailscale’s control plane, relays, etc.

It’s a shame really, because a huge value prop of TS is that it’s a VPN you just leave on and forget about. I hate having to toggle it when I inevitably forget to and wonder why I’m getting connection errors to private resources.

newdee··on Stop Breaking TLS
Lookup the Tailnet Lock feature.
newdee··on Bazzite: Operating System for Linux gaming
It’s probably that they’re near impossible to break or end up with an unusable system.
newdee··on Bazzite: Operating System for Linux gaming
Your comments read like you aren’t actually familiar or have any experience with using what you’re criticising.
newdee··on Linux gamers on Steam cross over the 3% mark
ARC Raiders is currently all working perfectly for me. Such a blessing. I hope it stays this way.
newdee··on Windows 10 refugees flock to Linux in what devs call their "biggest launch"
My IT lessons in the 90s were “here’s how to use spreadsheets and Microsoft office”. It wasn’t until later that I was taught programming and other more foundational concepts that would take me beyond being an office worker that knew how to format and print a letter. Fortunately, I had computers at home and my parents encouraged me to learn how they worked.
newdee··on WireGuard topologies for self-hosting at home
Don’t gatekeep. Headscale is interesting, non commercial and absolutely relevant to the discussion.
newdee··on Xeres: Uncensorable Peer-to-Peer Communications
And buy what instead exactly? We live in a world (or are shortly to be in one) where government and other primary services like banking and digital IDs require not only a smart phone, but one running a “sanctioned” platform where the OS and hardware state have to be attested by a “trusted” provider (Google, Apple, Samsung, etc). Your rooted, Graphene phone need not apply.
newdee··on Pixel 10 Phones
> They’re as much an advertising company as Google or Facebook

They are? By what metric? This sounds made up to support the assertion that a company which doesn’t do broad data sharing with third parties, but keeps it to themselves, is somehow less (or no less) private than those who do.

newdee··on Mac history echoes in current Mac operating systems
I think they’ve found them to be unnecessary.
newdee··on Objects should shut up
Laws are immutable now?
newdee··on This Month in Ladybird
Thank you for your helpful comment. I’m compiling it right now :)
newdee··on This Month in Ladybird
Why the tone policing? This isn’t helpful. Whereas parent comment was to the point and linked to a helpful resource. Give people the benefit of the doubt and assume good intent.
newdee··on Has Brazil Invented the Future of Money?
That’s a reflection on the bank’s poor design choices and not on FPS. See Starling and Monzo for examples of doing this right.
newdee··on The U.K. closed a tax loophole for the global rich, now they're fleeing
At no point did I say “just”. You’re making a strawman.
newdee··on The U.K. closed a tax loophole for the global rich, now they're fleeing
People earning 90k aren’t “the rich” that are doing the most egregious tax avoidance. They’re still working class. They still have to work or face destitution.

The very top sliver who own the majority of the land and assets and who never need to work a day in their life are who must be looked at; that hereditary wealth needs to begin to find itself flowing into public services more and more.
