The "Recall can't record DRMed video content" thing is because DRMed video content is entirely invisible to the OS. The OS passes the encrypted content to your GPU and tells it where to draw it, and the GPU decrypts it and displays it there. It's not a policy decision on the Recall side, it's just how computers work.

It just clicked in my brain. What I haven't been able to articulate about why I'm so anxious about #Windows Recall. I'm sure others have already gotten to where I am.

It's worse than "a system that tracks everything you do" and stores that info in a basic database that could be easily compromised.
It's worse than a nanny surveillance tool for companies to spy on their employees.

It's inescapable.

It doesn't matter if I make a dozen "how to disable recall" tutorials. The second YOUR data shows up on someone ELSE'S screen, it's in THEIR recall database.

It won't matter if you're a master #security expert specialist. You can't account for EVERY other computer you've ever interacted with. If a family member looks up an old email with your personal data in it, your data is now at risk.

If THEIR system is compromised YOUR data is at risk.

I just went from "vague feeling of unease" to "actively writing templates to canvas elected officials, regulators, and attorneys general."

@SomeGadgetGuy @piko it's the gmail problem. You sure can skip Gmail, but if everyone else uses Gmail, they still have practically all conversations.

Hey Canadian nerds! I have held the domain registration for regex.ca for a very long time. When I lived in Canada it was my primary domain, but I haven't used it for years. Does anyone on the fediverse have a good use for it?

I'm going to release it but if you've got a good pitch I'll pay for a 1 year renewal and then transfer it to your ownership.

Please boost for visibility kthx!

#Firefox lets you open a new window by shift-clicking a link. That's probably not news to any of you. I use this all the time.

It also lets you open an URL you TYPE in a new window by hitting Shift+Enter :-D That's going into my rotation!

So I get that you should use password managers but are there any good ones out there? All those top lists only mention paid services and their free versions are severely limited. I don't want to pay for more things than I am already.

claudius,
@claudius@darmstadt.social avatar

@drmambobob
KeePass (for Windows) or KeePassXC (for all Desktop systems) and a couple of apps for mobile devices that read/write the password database files.

KeePass (and derivatives) are well established, have been around for decades, are free software that runs on your machine, and you can still take that database file and sync it across multiple devices if you want (any way that works for you. I'm using Nextcloud for that, but Dropbox/OneDrive/SyncThing ... would also work)

@drmambobob
Major upside in my opinion: this works for your browser, but also outside of it. I have all the WiFi passwords in there, combinations to locks I own, software license keys and so on.
KeePassXC also does 2-factor-authentication with these 6-digit (TOTP) codes if you like. For regular KeePass this can added by a plugin as well.
@mike

claudius,
@claudius@darmstadt.social avatar

@drmambobob
And there is a Browser Plugin that connects your Browser to the database so that you don't have to copy+paste passwords. And if you have SSH-Keys, KeePassXC can act as a ssh-agent. They also recently added support for Passkeys, but that's still somewhat hard to use in my opinion.
@mike

claudius,
@claudius@darmstadt.social avatar

@ArneBab @mike @drmambobob I don't know if this changed or not, but password storage in browsers used to be (effectively) plain text somewhere on your hard drive. If you somehow catch malware or if someone has physical access to your device, that would be "game over".

If you don't use any additional safety feature (firefox primary password, for example https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/use-primary-password-protect-stored-logins ) any kind of attacker would have all the information to decode/decrypt your passwords.

Again, I am not sure how this changed over time and if this is radically different if you use FirefoxSync.

Got collaboration working between VS Code and Neovim today! Really exciting! \o/

What features would you like to see in a tool like this? 🧑‍💻

A VS Code window and a Neovim window are open next to each other. When you type in one window, it is reflected in the other window!

A media podcast I listened to today said that “the web is old-fashioned”, as part of their analysis of the OpenAI and Google news this week. As if the web will turn into The Well, or something. But I am seeing the fediverse, standards-based web builders like Eleventy, and open newsletter platforms like Ghost and Buttondown (that both support the web), and I just don’t agree that the web is old-fashioned. Quite the opposite, it’s only just getting started (again)!

@ricmac to my students, "the web" is what their parents used. "apps" is what they used all their lives. The web has always been around. To them, it is as old as telephones or dishwashers.

Yo, if you live in Berlin and have a sunny balcony/garden/window. You can get a plug-in solar setup for basically free.
This city subsidy program gives you up to 500€ for a setup and most only cost you around 300-400€.
Its basically free electricity for your apartment/home.

E: Actually a lot more citites and even some states offer similar programs: https://www.vattenfall.de/infowelt-energie/solar/balkonkraftwerk-foerderung

@timonsku #Darmstadt also subsidizes large and small solar setups. Slightly less, but still "almost free": https://www.darmstadt.de/leben-in-darmstadt/klimaschutz/foerderprogramme-und-beratungsangebote/foerderprogramm-photovoltaik

A moderator of a FB group I frequent has fallen headlong into the “politeness” trap, insisting that participants observe “civility” and “manners” when they post.

Many of you probably already recognize that is a trap. It is a tool used by aristocrats and the powerful to silence dissent, by protesting how the oppressed choose to cry, instead of dealing with why they cry. Southern slaveowners were probably the most polite bunch of folks you’ll ever know.

Focus on what’s important: kindess, empathy, respect, tolerance. And tell politeness to go fuck itself.

Ia used to spend time on some Discord server, and in 2021 some anti-vaxxers spilled misinformation and lies about vaccinations. I cared about that community, so I debunked this with sources, actual news articles and studies. I was told to not take up as much space with "my" topic. They instated a rule making all talk about "loaded" topics impossible.

I left that community.

📲 "Datensparsames Android mit der Android Debug Bridge" & "Google-Apps und weitere Bloatware loswerden mit dem 'Universal Android Debloater Next Generation'"

Für diejenigen, die Android-Geräte betreiben, bei denen sie kein Custom ROM installieren können (oder wollen), hier zwei gnulinux.ch-Artikel, in denen es darum geht, wie auch ein Stock-Android ohne Root weitgehend datensparsam betrieben werden kann und wie Google-Apps und weitere Bloatware entfernt werden können:

Im ersten Teil der Artikelreihe "Datensparsames Android mit der Android Debug Bridge" beschreibt Matthias "den Versuch, unter Android durch Umbau mittels der Android Debug Bridge (ADB), ohne Root soweit wie möglich an das Datenschutzniveau besserer Android Custom ROMs heranzukommen. Es ist der erste Teil einer voraussichtlich dreiteiligen Serie. Im ersten Teil wird der Ansatz für ein aktuelles Samsung Android (Stock-ROM) mit Android 14 demonstriert." und zeigt "wie mit Hilfe der Android Debug Bridge (ADB) und weniger Apps zur Geräteadministration auch ein vorinstalliertes Stock-ROM mehr oder weniger datenschutzfreundlich umgebaut werden kann".

Ergänzend dazu habe ich im Artikel "Google-Apps und weitere Bloatware loswerden mit dem Universal Android Debloater Next Generation" noch eins der Tools vorgestellt, mit dessen Hilfe Funktionen der "Android Debug Bridge" über ein grafisches Frontend genutzt werden. So können auf relativ einfachem Weg auf vergoogelten Androids Google-Apps und weitere Bloatware wie Hersteller- und Werbeapps entfernt werden.
