They tried to weasel out of saying that they sell your data, claiming that the CA law has an absurd definition. But the CA law just defines the term how any reasonable person would: the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) defines “sale” as the “selling, renting, releasing, disclosing, disseminating, making available, transferring, or otherwise communicating orally, in writing, or by electronic or other means, a consumer’s personal information by [a] business to another business or a third party” in exchange for “monetary” or “other valuable consideration.”

So yes, they’re selling your data, and CA law is finally forcing them to admit it, rather than continuing to lie about it.

Especially one that’s now selling your data. If Mozilla did this instead of selling our personal information, that would have been great. But here we are.

Trump demands ‘terrorists’ who vandalized his golf course be ‘treated harshly’ in c/politics@lemmy.world
[–] something_random_tho@lemmy.world 13 points 6 days ago (4 children)

It’s my understanding that most insurance doesn’t cover “acts of terror.” So wouldn’t this mean Herr Trump and Musk will need to cover these costs out of pocket, based on their own words?

Man pages are still not great on Linux. Very few examples with common use-cases and explanations. I shouldn’t need to visit the Arch wiki.

OpenBSD man pages are a delight in comparison, and really all you need to learn how to manage the system.

Linus Torvalds admits 'pure incompetence' for missing the new Linux 6.14 kernel deadline but all is forgiven as the update is great news for non-Windows gaming in c/linux@programming.dev

24-678% uplift sounds incredible for CPU-bound games.

Hard to imagine how anything could be worse than the current state of things.

How do you guys cope? in c/adhd@lemmy.world

I like the idea of using a notebook and using my phone less. I’ll give it a shot.

I use a calendar and reminders constantly. For everything. Anytime someone says something I need to remember, I whip out my phone and create a calendar event or a reminder right then and there.

The content of the messages can be encrypted. Who is in a room and who sent each message is not. See the “shared data” section of the chart.

Encrypting that data would require something like Sealed Sender (like Signal), and that is entirely absent from the spec and any implementation.

Edit: to the people downvoting, this is the literal Matrix spec upon which all the implementations rely. You are asking me to prove the absence of something in it. If you could, point me to the section that comments on the encryption of metadata in the spec. You may not like the answer (I’d love for it to encrypt metadata too!) but that doesn’t change the fact that it doesn’t encrypt metadata at this time.

How do you provision a Linux VM? (paravoce.bearblog.dev)
 

Hi friends, I'm back, this time jotting down some notes around my go-to way to provision VMs using Ansible. This post assumes Debian (Nix may be a future post).

Of course there's many ways to provision a server, and this is just one of them. I hope some of these notes are helpful!

If you have any other ways you prefer to set up a server, that would be cool to share!

How do you deploy in 10 seconds? (paravoce.bearblog.dev)
 

cross-posted from: https://lemmy.world/post/21065836

Hi friends, as promised, I'm back with my second post. I'll be hanging around in the comments for any questions!

In this post, I take a look at a typical deployment process, how long each part of it takes, and then I present a simple alternative that I use which is much faster and perfect for hobbit software.

Sharing some lessons I learned from 10 years/millions of users in production. I’ll be in the comments if anyone has any questions!

I hope this series will be useful to the self-hosted and small web crowds—tips for tools to pick and the basics of server management.

I hope some of the lessons in this series help people learn to adopt Linux directly into their stack as a simple tool that can be managed easily on a server.

Culver City and the Expo Bike Path (lemmy.world)
 

cross-posted from: https://lemmy.world/post/16790112

Just tried commuting on my bike from Santa Monica to downtown Culver City today. I took the Exposition bike path, which was fine until I needed to get off of it to head south.

Google recommended I take National and--lo and behold--there's no bike lane with cars flying past at 55mph+ on blind hills. That's a death trap.

On the way home I left early to avoid traffic. I took Venice Blvd, since it has a protected bike lane all the way until McLaughlin which Google Maps called "bicycle friendly." No bike lane, of course, with cars flying past leaving a foot of distance between me and death. One testy driver in a BMW didn't want to wait the 15 seconds for me to pedal into the left turn lane to get back onto the Exposition bike path, honking and then flying by nearly killing me. Jeez lady, I'm not the city planner. Don't kill me to save 15 seconds.

How does Culver City put zero bike lanes going north to south connecting to the Exposition path? How do these drivers maintain their licenses?

What's a cyclist to do?
