These people are documenting the history of an important part of our infrastructure. One video from a channel in this community documented a 1970s home security system as he was contracted to remove it. It’s super fascinating learning how these things function and watching them be tested. Such content can also help a person get over fear of alarms!

That game was a love letter to brutalism and bureaucracy
Wow! Opinion pieces! It’s not like every newspaper for the past 50 years has had these!
Ehhhh my friends told me they prefer indigenous or native. To many, “Indian” is a slur.
Brutalist architecture is beautiful in its own way
Yeah it’s not ideal. I just don’t see a world where Microsoft will set people’s search engine to DuckDuckGo
Glad you had something useful and helpful to add to the discussion. Have you ever in your life heard of “playing devils advocate”? Read a book some time.
Imagine you have a computer that’s been compromised by malware. What do you think the search engine will be set to? Not Google, not Bing, probably some third party one that has ads and malware. Changing that to Bing would technically qualify as a repair.
They could easily improve this by just adding a list of common reputable search engines, and adding those to an allow list.
I’d just like for these things to be opt-in, not opt-out.
A non-profit can, in fact, profit, but it has specific rules on what it can do with those profits. Tax law is a rabbit hole and I don’t even wanna peer in
It seems like a profit-driven thing to me. Big piles of anonymized data are worth a pretty penny.
Importantly, if you have already opted out of sending data to Mozilla, this change will not affect you. It only sends data if you have the setting turned on. It takes just a few clicks to entirely disable it, and Mozilla deletes all record of your browser within 30 days from turning off this feature. If you’re worried about it, do it now, it’s just under Settings > Privacy & Security. Instructions are also linked in the blog post.
They’ve tossed ClamAV on mine but it’s not on the AD, thankfully.
I use Linux on my desktop at work, and sometimes you might end up with an apple computer instead depending on the employer.
The monopoly is slipping.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Yeah those do exist but they tend to be the exception and not the rule. And anyone working minimum wage is gonna avoid using it because they’re close to starvation a lot of the time. I’ve been there
There’s a difference between being rich and “not struggling”.
If you can afford to contribute to a retirement account, you’re probably not struggling to make ends meet. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I feel like most people do not, in fact, watch stock tickers and that most people do actually pay close attention to their ability to make ends meet shrinking by the month.
Ok
