Incredble! A glimmer of hope.

This happens for me because of trapped gas. Try getting up, doing some stretches.

This is OC? That’s some quality effort for a shitpost.

Extremely lame work by Google. Infeasible? Why? This is absolutely a security vulnerability. Any ad SDK on any app on your phone can use it to associate your VPN activity.

Lemmy votes count for like ten Reddit ones. And fewer bots, so more of them are real people.

Retaliating against journalists is not a good sign.

You forgot the take-home project to include free labor in your begging.

We used to finger our users too.

A HUGE number of Americans are functionally illiterate.

Where do you find all of these?

So I can block them. I never see this content. Perhaps filtered by my instance.

Good. That app makes misleading claims about its provenance and community endorsement. I wrote it smelled rotten when I first saw it posted.

Defense in depth, indeed. There’s layers to trust, and I prefer that my containers stayed contained just in case.

This was also my experience. I know the disclosure was handled poorly, but I’m pleased to see that my distribution (Fedora) reacted expediently to news of the security issue.

Woah, I didn’t know they were working on those features. Thanks for sharing!

Normal user? Extremely rarely would you need to build the kernel. Distributions design their options to fit most use cases, and you’ve observed the extensibility through modules. The kernel itself has moved towards runtime configurable options for your convenience over time, such as with

PREEMPT_DYNAMIC

Where in the past changing the preemption model would require a recompile. Ultimately, this is a good thing; it makes your life easier and you can get better support for a common kernel if you need to debug.

It does happen though if you need special hardware or if you’re picky about specific kernel features. For example, I’ve used kernels that don’t have built-in support for memory compression. Need is a subjective term, and I felt that was a configuration option that I needed because a memory upgrade was not an option. I would argue there was a point to that effort. Considering that you phrase your question as asking about normal users, then no, I would say that’s rarely beneficial, might actually be disadvantageous because you won’t receive as much help debugging problems from your distribution, and generally you can achieve your goals by tuning runtime kernel parameters anyway.

I shed no tears.

You don’t know me. You don’t know who I am or what I do.

But yes, my fellow citizens are not standing up enough. In fact, a ton of my local community strongly approves of what’s happening. They will gladly watch their friends and family dragged away.

Sounds like it’s a good idea to use an instance that isn’t in the USA to protect yourself from data demands.

No such thing as a labor shortage. Strike that from your vocabulary. There’s literally hundreds of millions of people available.

That’s like me saying there’s a shortage of women. Self-reflect before filing accusations.

These facists would have us all rounded up and put in the camps with the other undesirables.
