It will come down to the laws in your country and how much money you plan to spend on lawyers if your employer wants to force the issue.
I am Stine. Comfort the afflicted. Afflict the comfortable. High School Wrestler™. Can usually correctly use the past tense in French. Suffers from clinical depression. @stinerman@mastodon.social on Mastodon.

He (Linus Torvalds) made Linux as a hobby during his time in college/university to teach him about operating system design. Because it was the part of the operating system called the kernel that the GNU project didn’t have yet (more on this in a moment), it became very popular. Richard Stallman created the GNU project because he believed that every person should have the right to study and share the software that runs on their computer.
There is nothing specifically anti-corporate in either of their motivations.
Running an absolutely ancient kernel.
“Free speech absolutist” these days means “you should be required to hear what I say” not “you should be able to say anything you want without government interference.”
It’s you.
Kentucky Mule here. Bourbon rather than vodka.
I also recommend Bundaberg ginger beer in any mule.
Which was built because of the limitations of ALSA.
GNU/pedophilia
I made about double that on betting that Donald Trump would lose the election after he had already lost the election. Now that was something I’m really proud of.
Getting in trouble for calling long distance…
It was picpost.com after my parents went to bed. 640x480 jpgs that you got to see line by line. And if you could find a postage stamp video filmed on a potato, it was maybe 10 seconds and you put that on repeat until you finished.
I’ve literally done the rm -rf / thing. I thought I was in a different subdirectory, but I was in / and did rm -rf .
When it didn’t return after half a second, I looked at the command again and hit CTRL+C about 20 times in the span of 3 seconds.
I had to rebuild the install, but luckily didn’t lose anything in /home.
Agreed, but I think there are enough flavors of Debian to satisfy someone if they want newer packages without resorting to Flatpak/Snap/etc.
DNS blocking at the router never fails.
I don’t mind the old packages (I’m typing from Debian Stable right now). If that’s a bother for other people Debian Stable isn’t the way to go. Even I wouldn’t recommend Stable on a desktop/laptop unless that person knew what they were getting themselves into. I used to run Sid a while back, but didn’t want to have to deal with the mild breakage from time to time. Generally speaking it’s “stable enough” for most people, especially on a daily driver.
That being said, I have a few flatpaks running, but that’s mostly because they’re apps that aren’t packaged for Debian.
I was never on Reddit, but I was a Twitter refugee who moved to Mastodon. In the beginning almost everything was about how terrible Elon Musk was and what dumb shit was going on over there. Now there’s a lot less. Perhaps the same thing will happen with Lemmy as well.
54 just dropped on F-Droid for those waiting for it.
Yeah been trying to figure that out myself.
The climate activist thing they did pursuant to a warrant, which every company will do, and the only thing of interest they turned over was the person’s recovery email…which was personally identifiable. From there the authorities got everything else. IIRC, they got access to the person’s iCloud. None of the person’s emails or anything like that was given out. If you are strictly concerned about privacy you shouldn’t use a recovery email so that your login can’t be tied back to you.
As far as the service, I am using Mail and Pass daily and like both. I use the VPN and Drive sparingly, but I have enough space on it to stop using my Google Drive. Calendar is useless for me because of the lack of CalDAV support… and also because I can’t have many calendars on the free plan.
It hits the sweet spot between privacy and ease of use for me. YMMV.
