    Why? To sell you something. If the traditional web incentives were to disappear, the internet will become just ads, selling things & work. The web won't die. It will just become ev…

    I second what the other commenters have said. There are several factors at play making conflicts almost impossible: - A central device can be immediately synced to. For Nextcloud, …

    LMDE is Debian-based, I believe you meant Linux Mint itself, which also doesn't use snaps. You get all the driver support and tools from the Ubuntu base, with some nice additons. H…

    A slight factor differentiating security systems here is involved to the advantage of defenders: Attackers have to find a whole exploit chain, while defenders only need to fix one …

    This is a filter added by you (or by an overzealous list maintainer), it does not happen by default or even with the provided additional filterlists.

    Yes, it is indeed not always clear what constitutes forgery (Germany). > A document in the classic sense requires an embodied declaration of intent that identifies an issuer and is…

    This is certainly missing some kind of legend explaining the colors of the lines, and what data is actually shown. Is "red" high or low velocity? And as an example, I do not unders…

    I find it rather strange that so many email providers have to develop their own "app". There are so many good clients out there, and I'd rather have 1. The team focus on their core…

    So true. In such an LLM-driven game though, I would imagine the player would just ask the NPC: "I forgot what to do" or even "Can you explain it in other terms?" (if the quest desc…
