Are Identity Theft Protection Services Worth the Money? It's Complicated
In our busy lives, we often forget about or neglect personal security. Having a service to nudge you about best practices can be worth the money — in certain cases.Neal O'Farrell (CNET)

I ran UnixBench (github.com/kdlucas/byte-unixbe…) on my new Quartz64 SBC (RK3566 SoC, quad-core ARM Cortex-A55 CPU, 4 GB RAM, 64 GB eMMC). I ended up running it four times, with different settings of the Linux CPU frequency governor. Here are the results, in the order that I obtained them:
1. schedutil (default): mwcampbell.us/quartz64-unixben…
2. performance: mwcampbell.us/quartz64-unixben…
3. powersave: mwcampbell.us/quartz64-unixben…
4. schedutil again: mwcampbell.us/quartz64-unixben…

I'm going to boot my M1 Mac mini into Linux (Fedora Asahi Remix), run UnixBench there with the different CPU frequency governors, and see what the results look like. I'm sure the M1 is in a different performance category than the RK3566, though they're both ARM64.
BTW, this is an improvised thread, not an artificially split-up long post. 5/?

The Global Surveillance Free-for-All in Mobile Ad Data
Not long ago, the ability to remotely track someone’s daily movements just by knowing their home address, employer, or place of worship was considered a powerful surveillance tool that should only be in the purview of nation states. But a…krebsonsecurity.com
Navazuji na včerejší tip.
Tady je porovnání iPhone a různých odnoží Androidu. Většina lidí má "Android" - distribuci plnou šmírovátek od Google obohacenou o bloatware výrobce, který nejen že šmíruje po svém, ale často zavléká bezpečnostní chyby, zabírá místo v úložišti i RAM.
V GrapheneOS mimo jiné vůbec není položka "Reklama" s Mobile Advertising ID.

Diego, ho una domanda mistico-mastica, perché il pulsante per inviare un post o una risposta sta in alto invece che alla fine del messaggio?
Per rispondere dopo aver scritto devo muovere tutta la mano fino in alto...
Non mi sembra una buona ergonomia... 🤔
@❄️ freezr ❄️ @𝔻𝕚𝕖𝕘𝕠 🦝🧑🏻💻🍕 @RaccoonForFriendica
Ho notato anche che non ricorda l'ultimo post visto nello stream, quindi quando torni dietro da qualunque posizione va di nuovo in cima allo stream.
La freccetta "azzurra" sarebbe il pulsante per inviare?
Secondo me si... anche più intuitivo. Fammi scaricare e verificare!
Non è ancora disponibile però ho notato un dettaglio che dovreste tenere presente...
Io so mezzo ciecato e ho i caratteri enormi, per questo la mia barra per editare il testo va oltre il viewport; quindi il pulsante di invio deve essere di tipo "sticky", inoltre se usi markdown quella barra non ce l'hai per niente... 🤔
"Tesla's vehicles have the highest fatal accident rate among all car brands in America, according to a recent study that analyzed data from the U.S. Fatality Analysis Reporting System."
Tesla's fatality rate is double the national average. Driver behavior is a contributing factor to the high number of deaths (i.e. shitty-driving assholes are more likely to buy Teslas and die or kill someone else while driving them).

Another Brexit fiasco.... British cheeses failed to get to the World Cheese Awards in Portugal as they failed to clear customs in time (now being from a non-EU country).
In the scale of the disasters of Brexit its not going to to be a big thing (although it will be for the frustrated cheese makers), but is emblematic of how myopic the Brexiters were about the impact of their successful plan to leave Europe....

Firefox is passing on google's request, just as it would for a website that wanted to use your mic.
I've reached the end of my first full week of using a terminal-only interface for my personal computing in 2024.
It has been quite a week.
I've had to pick up git, which is a whole new learning curve for me, and my knowledge of tmux has increased rapidly too.
But, in terms of getting done what I actually wanted to do? It has been absolutely fine... right up until the point when it was not, and then I struggled.
I'm writing notes as I go, for a future blogpost.

Hardcoded shortcuts in #LibreOffice are still a joke in 2024:
- F1 still cannot be modified. (I hate you so much for this.)
- Ctrl-P is Print, except editing shortcuts shows it's not actually bound to anything. Lulz?
Thankfully at least one can modify Ctrl-P to do something actually useful, like Export Directly as PDF.
But then… the Print tooltip still mentions Ctrl-P, the Export Directly as PDF doesn't.
A restart later, both tooltips mention Ctrl-P.
Lulz!

Super nice #macOS related fixes upcoming in #LibreOffice💪❤️
macOS dictation had a problem where dictated text would only show, once you make a pause speaking. That was inconvenient as it is much easier to gather your thoughts when spoken text appears immediately.
Another issue that has been ongoing for many many years was, that when you scrolled the sheet in calc and while scrolling was still ongoing pressed cmd for some operation, the zoom level would change. This extremely annoying behavior is no longer.
Both fixes done by #PatrickLuby of #NeoOffice - we should all thank him!
Will take some time for those to trickly down into stable, but 25.2 will bring those fixes for sure.

@Tusky i love you, but you have to stop throwing away drafts when reopening the app.
Several times a month I lose my posts while switching been apps to copy text snippets and so on. It doesn't happen all the time, which is super frustrating. I convince myself it's okay, probably was just user error, it's stopped now, and then 💣🕳️
i can't do this anymore, sorry

How about changing our messaging to: "Your crippling BNPL debt is a direct consequence of Google, Meta and ByteDance knowing every fucking thing about you"
You're beating a dead horse. There is absolutely nothing you can do that is going to convince most people to use #XMPP because it is the Linux of messaging platforms, It may be better, it may be more private and more secure, but people don't care about that. All they want is something super easy to set up and use, and they want to be on the platform that friends and family are using. And no, they have no desire whatsoever to host a server for friends and family, that's waaaay to complicated for them (even it it literally involved entering one command at a command prompt it would still be to complicated). And they actually trust a big corporation more to keep their conversations private than some XMPP service they have never heard of.
If the day ever comes when they do give a rat's ass about privacy it will be too late because by the the big corporations and the government will already know everything about them. But most people seem to think they have nothing to hide so why should they be concerned about privacy? And if the last election taught us anything it is that far too many people are totally gullible.
