It doesn't claim that they didn't get consent... They didn't... That's what opt-out systems are, and it's disgusting

I agree. I initially moved over and just never really enjoyed opening the app for more than a couple minutes tops.. I only keep it cuz some of the artists that I followed on Twitter moved over to Bluesky so I'm able to continue enjoying their content without the Nazis

Amid ram price hikes Linux has decided to double its license fee. It will now be available for $0

As in the official GitHub or whatever repo they're using lists their aur package as an install message. So I'm not just downloading a potential clone/fake package with a similar name that could've been orphaned and taken over in the recent aur malware campaigns

Yea I use like 2 or 3 things from aur and they're maintained by the developer.. the recent aur attacks haven't worried me a bit

Jesus... Here we go again.. as a normal Linux user non dev, do I just not update my PC for now? Until it's known what devs may be compromised downstream?

It does not prompt it just does it in the background along with the driver install when you first plug it in

I agree.. although I also understand people who feel the other way. As a top guy in the company the money he gets is going to be usually much more than an employee and for just existing at the top. So it feels more like company money than someone getting paid for actually putting in the grunt work to keep the company running. Not to mention that nobody is talking about mullvad and the ideology of random coder #26, the actions of the cofounder is always going to be in the same sentence as mullvad. So I understand taking a stance to not feed into that.

However I don't agree with the moral superiority stance that often (not always) comes with that viewpoint. By all means boycott them yourself but I'm not one to push that on others unless it is actually the company itself donating or if their views start poisoning the quality of the service they provide (brave for example)

Or the more likely option that they get the cheaper ram from China and then double dip and use the ram scarcity excuse for higher prices

And their kids are not my problem. I had a vasectomy I did my part. I don't want the responsibility of raising and protecting a kid so I'm not having one.. The government's part if anything is to invest in educating parents on how to protect their kids online in the modern age, and use the slew of parental controls available on every platform. If you're going to buy your kid a $1,000 device with internet access, you should probably like actually monitor what they do with it. The same as you do. If you have alcohol in the house or firearms in the house or anything else that's potentially dangerous in the hands children.

How about they fine the parents who are failing to parent their kids?

Even if that's true, I'm predicting either AI companies just buy all of that too. Or the US government doesn't allow the import of it because it's from China
