I never said that, although Democrats are the ones still in power. My point was that both sides are blind.

There is at least one camp right now where genocide is happening and the Democrats are supporting and paying for it.

You’ve just described a majority of the Democratic party as well. Don’t forget a majority here was certain that Joe Biden was more dynamic than he’d ever been, and later convinced that supporting Israel’s genocide and neocons would win Kamala the election.

Period tracking apps should store no data at all in the cloud.

Yeah, you buy a gaming PC with Windows and you insert a USB stick and install Linux. Otherwise, you’ll be paying a high premium for a company that does basically the same thing. Things to look out for are try to find a PC with Intel networking and bluetooth adapters. Realtek is relatively well supported, but has been known to have issues.

Apps like Apple News don’t exist to help you curate news that you want to see. They exist to curate news that they want you to see.

Well, first they are lying to you. You don’t have to hand out certificates manually and that isn’t how Intune does it either. They are provisioned using SCEP generally, which has its own security drawbacks. You can get these certificates from a SCEP server using a tool like Certmonger.

Most companies that say they don’t officially support Linux already have you sign an acceptable-use agreement to only use company-provided hardware and approved software. And while they may act like they’ll make a special exception for you, you better make sure you got it in writing and in a way that would comply with your other employment agreements. One thing most IT employees don’t have the privilege of is negotiating the legal terms of their employment. There are already multiple US cases of employees being criminalized for breaking their employer’s AUP.

I wish you the best of luck, but feel like you’re prob in for a harsh reality.

You can use Wi-Fi certificates on Linux without needing Intune. Is the real issue here that your workplace doesn’t want to give you the info you need to use Linux?

What would having Intune offer you personally? Are you a smart Linux user or barely know enough to be dangerous?

Go to your IT department or management and tell them you want to use Linux for work if that is what you want, and if they say no then make up your mind if you’re willing to become a braindead zombie for the company, or if you’d rather be doing something actually useful and meaningful with your time.

And in other news, X still requires users to sign in to see almost anything.

Democrats are still always posting on X, and then users are forced to sign up for X to see their post, and then users are radicalized by the nonstop bots and AI feed manipulation going on by Musk… Pretty soon there will be no Democrats left.

Lol… I was a religious Arch user for a long time. I miss running Linux as my primary OS in s lot of ways, although when I do it again it’ll be an ephemeral distro, but I had to get things done and the support and prioritization of apps that make me productive right isn’t there. I don’t blame open source developers though but large software companies that deprioritize and fudge cross platform software.

Despite Microsoft having done some contribution to open source, their culture is still very toxic and counterproductive. Graphics card makers have also intentionally locked vGPU support for consumers, almost like they’re intentionally preventing efficient Windows on Linux support.

The only people complaining about Linux users are people who just got hired by Microsoft and are trying to convince themselves Windows is the best.

As people get ready to vote here in the US, one issue I haven’t even heard brought up is the lack of privacy regulations in the US. Do most people not care if the person they’re voting for is fine with every corporation selling and sharing personal data?

Regulations

Dynamic list filtering doesn’t mean what you think it means. You can add and update block lists without having to update the extension.

Abandoning Chromium browsers does nothing to improve security or privacy. I certainly encourage people to try Firefox and other browsers as they become available, but it’s mostly just a matter of preference in what features you want. If you want maximum privacy with Chromium or Firefox then you’re going to use policies, flags, etc. Otherwise both are prone to telemetry.

Then build them. There is nothing about MV3 that stops you from improving things. I don’t blame you from wanting good ad blocking, as do I. But I also don’t want every MV2 extension being able to read my network traffic.

Or use UBO-Lite? MV3 has some limitations but I’m tired of people acting like it ruins ad blocking when it doesn’t.

So the government decided to abuse the most vulnerable people. Welcome to America!
