Imagine how silent and unpolluted NK is, ngl it would be a great vacation if not for the moral concerns

Source on the first statement?

It hasn’t, it’s just that good opsec is impossible in the long run and everyone is bound to be deanonymized eventually. For example, if you’re using a clean account on a CP sharing forum, it’s possible to track your mannerisms and post history (content, timezone, etc) to get an estimate of where you live. Then they can subpoena the ISPs for IP traffic in that region and figure out who is using Tor. That subset of IPs may then be cross referenced with the time that suspect’s account posted, that can be used as probable cause for a warrant… That sort of stuff. Sounds super complicated but most of it can be automated and bypassed these days (I don’t think you actually need to subpoena for example).
Where did the suspect fail? He should have used multiple accounts, spaced out the interactions more randomly, used stolen WiFi, ran his comments through a translator and back, etc. At no point did Tor fail at securing his IP address end to end

At work and in tests you’ll be using bloomberg terminals, risk software, etc only available on Windows, so why bother?

Unviable for economics and finance in my experience. Excel is absolutely mandatory for these

Damn, that’s a high bar to clear. Almost none of the distros I know pass their criteria

I’m not trying to be mean, but I didn’t really understand much of that. Can you translate from your native language on DeepL or something?

Can someone clue me in to why Mint wouldn’t be “libre”? What does “libre” mean in this context exactly?

Seriously, I though Lemmy users would be a little more aware of this stuff. I’ve seen people openly saying they want to assault federal agents and government property, and now this guy

They can and most of the time they do complain about free apps

The main reason why I use open source is precisely because I don’t need or want to worry about this crap. The software is as much property of humanity as it is of the creator, it is basically just knowledge

I am so sorry that happened, people can be really mean to us autistic folk for no good reason

I just decided not to play games that cutthroat with mine

I’ve gotten better at saying please and thank you often, I guess

League was the reason I stalled so long, too, but honestly, Riot is just as bad as Microsoft. Vanguard is unacceptable and we should make our voices heard by not playing their games anymore. There are so many great games running just fine on Linux, nowadays I don’t even feel like I’m restricted at all

What does this accomplish?

Gotta up my junk food consumption then

I feel this. Physical books are much better for reading but I miss grep so much when I need to consult

I mean after the attack the strands left could be used to trace operation spots. But I guess you’re right, I didn’t realise they were that thin

Don’t these reveal the location of the operator, though?
