Try a few live disks out. See what works best with your hardware and workflows. I like Fedora with KDE Plasma, personally. But I prefer RHEL based to Debian based stuff and I don't like the direction Ubuntu is beimg taken for monetization.

Yes, but punish the government and those who support those governments. The majority of people who live in a fascist country do not agree with the government otherwise fascism wouldn't be necessary.

I live in the US and I don't agree with nor apologize for the anti-trans, anti-women, anti-immigrant, and racist policies the federal government has recently implemented. In fact many policies directly affect me and my wellbeing.

I voted against them, but unfortunately we weren't given an option to vote for something better because of the way things work here. And many of these countries don't even have that. Nor do I think anyone else who lives in or visits the US should be punished for the actions of its government. Same goes for any other country.

And in this case it looks like it may just be someone visited one of those countries sometime in the past, though details are scarce. I get then need to sanction people involved with the bad stuff, but people who just visit or live there with no other connection to the bad stuff is a little extreme. Especially since contributing to this project, for free, is not producing profit for or supporting any government.

I think its just that the language having built in licensing is a newer concept as opposed to just having a companion document. And MIT and Apache are the licenses the pieces of the language is licensed under, so they made those default. That way it's a conscious decision to make it more restrictive.

Yeah definitely makes sense to me in stomach and vagina and similar areas. Just wasn't sure if in was missing something on the face. Maybe in combination with something that was probiotic I guess, but I don't see any of that. So prebiotic without probiotic treatment seems risky.

I don't think it's Rust exactly. I think Rust is just newer and this attracts developers with less experience with licensing. It's not really something developers want to think about very much so they often just use the default. Heck, most code on github, etc., didn't have any licenses at all for a really long time until businesses realized they couldn't use the code without them due to copyright laws being applied by default but patents not being default in many countries, etc.

There are consequences to using copyleft as opposed to more permissive libre licenses, and vice versa, that may not be well understood by a lot of developers in general until they get into a situation where it matters. Either their code can't be used by people they wanted to sue it, or companies are abusing the code without proper attribution, etc.

Generally the key fobs have a circuit and antenna inside and the circuit has a code that it broadcasts when it is near the transceiver. Some systems are more complex, but at the lowest level the system disrupts a magnetic field around the transceiver in a certain way to generate the code or is powered up by the transceiver and transmits the code using that power. That way no battery is required and it can fit inside a thin card or fob. Some older ones have a very small battery to increase range or create a more complex or modifiable code or for proximity use rather than touch.

That code is then authorized or not to open the door in the security system. And yes every time the fob is used, it is logged. And depending on if the fob has a battery, it is possible it tracks leaving. If they don't have to touch the fob to a panel and just need to have it on them, then it logs any time they approach the door regardless of entering or leaving. If it requires touching or bringing it close to a panel and they don't have to do that when leaving then it probably doesn't log them by proximity.

Whether or not the log has the person's name or just the code or ID of the fob depends on how old or cheap the system is. But there's definitely some document somewhere that lists the peoples' names and which fob they were assigned if it's not in the system. So it's easy enough to find out.

Any system that has the same code in every fob would be either super old or super cheap and unlikely to be used on secure doors. Having unique codes means that if a fob is lost or stolen it can be deactivated among other things. Which is a no-brainer for security if there is no real significant cost. The only reason older systems didn't is because the tech couldn't create long enough codes on the circuits that existed. And super cheap systems don't want to create too many different codes since it's cheaper to mass produce the same one over and over. Basically why car fobs can often open other people's cars. Either they're old or the car company's too cheap and it's not their security at risk, so they don't care.

I'll take one. Feel free to DM me.

No country has a significantly larger population than any other. The difference is only how out they are and thus how easy it is to find out they are LGBTQ+. Countries that allow trans people to use their actual gender on their travel documents, for example, are more likely to be detained or deported as the US no longer recognizes actual gender as a valid identifying trait for travel document purposes. It must list a marker for genitals at birth or genitals chosen by the parent at birth for intersex people. And those with X or similar non-binary markers may not be accepted at all since that's not a recognized valid marker in the US anymore. And it's difficult to prove that your genitals at birth were what they are now and the same as your gender marker on your passport. Genitals at birth is not an identifying trait for an adult, but that's what the US expects. Gender is barely an identifying trait, but is slightly more relevant in some cases at least than how you looked as a baby. So if the marker doesn't match their expectation, then they could consider that as being deceptive based on your appearance or behavior and thus reason to deny entry or detain or deport. And being detained in a for profit US immigration prison could result in abuse and death. Especially for trans people put in the wrong gender section of a prison.

With lots of free condoms this time...and so hopefully less AIDS.

Most could, but most are also designed not to because adding a virtualization type of layer allows for ways to circumvent it. Anticheat needs to trust the environment it is running in so it can rely on the information. Wine is designed to replicate things it trusts in Windows, but not actually necessarily replicate the way the kernel actually does those things, so the things they are relying on might not mean the same thing as the do in Windows. So they'd need to analyze and possibly implement things a bit differently. This takes time and money and for companies like this, the customer isn't the user, so they have little reason to cater to users needs. Pro gaming and a few online game companies are their primary customers and they generally don't want to support Linux anyway.

Usually it uses your IP address first, bit it's not the only information in cases where the IP address is a known VPN or similar. Are you saying you were tunneling over TOR the first time?

When you switched to VPN you didn't mention what browser. If it's one that supports advertising IDs, that could be used, for example.

And when you connected to copilot did you get a captcha popup? If so, did you have to actually solve a captcha or click a button? If not, then it likely is getting information from somewhere that you are trustworthy.

Clear all browser data, make sure enhanced tracking protection is not disabled for the site. Go to a site that tells your IP address and verify it's the Tor endpoint to verify the setup there is correct. Then try again.

Also, assuming you're not clicking through any popups to allow tracking info or logging in to any accounts on this browser beforehand. If you log into a Microsoft account or any other account for a site that Microsoft gets info from first, it can use those logins to track you. You can disable this in the browser, but so many sites will break without it.
