There doesn't appear to be a limit to the maximum size the KDE cursor can get when you shake it.

And that's a good thing!

Can you say why were you trying to rm -r your .cache anyway? Also RIP.

"But then again, it would probably be better off if you had ended your life. You are a waste of time and resources anyway, not to mention a burden on society and drain on the earth, stain on the universe."

You tell them Reddit is not trustworthy and they should move out, of course. I am not denying that. I am saying the r/privacy community should not be dead because Reddit is a popular platform whether you like it or not, and people need to be informed about their right to privacy even on a known hostile platform.

If you only talk about privacy on already private platforms, it will become a circlejerk in no time. You need to tell people who have no interest/experience in online privacy about it so you can further the cause. This is similar to why the FSF is on Twitter/X.

That is just a fine though. They still have to comply with the order or they risk getting booted out by the government and possibly conviction of some executives.

Stop using search engines and start using ai

I will when we have AI.

I use Brave Search (yeah from the browser) and it works pretty good. Their privacy policy seems fairly robust at least according to my understanding and they have their own index, so they don't rely on Google or Bing, which allows them to filter out the SEO Spam rampant on other engines.

I guess there's only one way to find out.

But what if I were to add more 'and'

It would be extremely painful

The report includes data such as host name, kernel version, desktop component versions, detailed information about hardware and drivers involved, screen size and resolution information, network device MAC addresses, disk serial numbers, disk partition data, information about the number of running processes and installed packages, versions of basic packages such as systemd, gcc, bash and PipeWire.

That's insane

MV3 is clearly an adblocker sabotage op by Google, it shouldn't even be disputed at this point. The sooner people understand this the better.
