You expect very reader ro search for what you could put into the post itself, but replying ‘wut’ is a step too far?

Yes, even if you are using it you are not the owner and do not control it; any corporate laptop is an untrusted device at home.

It’s a small disaster now, but it will be yuuuuge

Compared to…?

I honestly ask because out of all the short-form video apps I know of, it sucks the least.

… yes?

Or, create a VM in Proxmox and pass the GPU, mouse and keyboard to it.

I have two routers set up like this. The untrusted ISP router is plugged into the wall with untrusted devices (e.g., work laptops, guest devices) connected to it. Its IP is 192.168.20.1 and untrusted devices use that IP as gateway.

Then there’s a trusted router that trusted devices connect to with IP 192.168.1.1. I have it connected to the untrusted router’s wifi as WAN but you could also just connect its physical WAN port to an untrusted router LAN port. Trusted devices uses 192.168.1.1 as their gateway and the trusted router tunnels all connections over the untrusted router to the VPN provider.

Only the trusted router needs Wireguard. The trusted devices think they are just on a regular LAN, which keeps their configuration simpler.

The problem seems to be your router. If you can install OpenWRT at all (check the supported devices), I would be surprised if it wasn’t more reliable that whatever OEM router software is already on there. The upshot is you can trust your router.

I have two AppleTVs and while they are great at what they do, I won’t buy another. The reason is that they are still locked down to what Apple allows you to do. Want to watch YouTube? Your only realistic option is Google’s app, complete with ads. If you connect a real computer to the TV, you have significantly more control over what’s going on, but you may lose some of the convenience of a dedicated TV device. Hopefully with things like the GabeCube, more Linux OSes will be dedicated to big screen TV use.

Plus the point is that you can replace the AppleTV with mostly whatever you like (some CEC functionality notwithstanding), and don’t use the TV’s own OS or apps for anything.

Breaking on updates is not good, I agree. I only use one extension (Tiling Window Manager), haven’t had any problem with updates and don’t find it useless by default. Would you agree that an extension-based design is OK here and the implementation needs work?

Seems to me that this is a good use case for an extension.

GNOME has a clipboard by default–actually it has two: Ctrl-C/X and middle click send to both clipboards.

As for terminal in the file manager, by default you can right click on empty space in the file manager and “open in console”.

Oh dear, things have worsened since I last looked, including 29 EU states just late this year.

I decided to never return to the US after they brought in mandatory fingerprinting. It’s progressed so much further now. Land of the free*

Do you have the address handy?

All of these stadiums seem have an original unchanging name, in this case Docklands Stadium.

Just waiting for Gulf of FIFA.

Here’s what I mean, in an excerpt from the Internet Manipulation section of Wikipedia’s article on Disinformation.

Internet manipulation is the use of online digital technologies, including algorithms, social bots, and automated scripts, for commercial, social, military, or political purposes. Internet and social media manipulation are the prime vehicles for spreading disinformation due to the importance of digital platforms for media consumption and everyday communication. When employed for political purposes, internet manipulation may be used to steer public opinion, polarise citizens, circulate conspiracy theories, and silence political dissidents.

That’s everybody’s business.

While we may weigh up the pros and cons of these tools, it’s a start to recognise that there are significant social risks here that shouldn’t be dismissed out of hand.
