thats garbage marketing naming
- Comment on In the latest Windows 11 preview build, Microsoft removed the “bypassnro” command, which let users skip signing into a Microsoft Account when installing Windows. 4 days ago:
it needs cookies and scripts. but it’s just a reddit frontend, feel free to replace the domain with reddit.com or an other redlib instance

TCMD scripting? what kind?
I have just recently rediscovered DoubleCommander. it’s different at places, but some of them makes it better. maybe it’s compatible with your scripts

licensing. both if you don’t plan to buy it, and if you do, because as I understand it’s hard to obtain, and maybe hard to keep too
- Comment on Organic Maps migrates to Forgejo due to GitHub account blocked by Microsoft. 5 days ago:
By law (export controls) Microsoft must not provide service to that place. So some automatism flagged the account and also the organic maps repo. So far so normal.
not normal at all! don’t serve the website. that is normal. but ban anyone logging in seemingly from there, on sight? that’s literally “shoot first, ask later” in tech! totally abnormal, if this is the reason
- Comment on Organic Maps migrates to Forgejo due to GitHub account blocked by Microsoft. 5 days ago:
that’s already a concern. what if someone just cloned your repo? there’s also plenty of people that mirror public repos to their personal forgejo server. forgejo makes it very easy.
the only solution to mitigate such a mistake is to
1) invalidate the token
2) remove the commitIn that order.

git identification has nothing to do with authentication, as any sane person with git experience knows

what happened in 1903 that made you say enough?

yes but they make it hard to access, and it has legal issues too so you maybe shouldn’t use it in a business setting

then they can better protect your account, force regular password changes, force password complexity requirements…
if that was the goal, they wouldn’t be saying on the password input screen to “choose the most simple password”, and especially they wouldn’t accept that field to be left blank
if you are not logged in, they can’t setup onedrive to automatically steal all pictures and documents of the unsuspecting user, and they can’t setup bitlocker with a cloud key that they could use to lock you out of all your data when they think so

I guess this does not apply to Enterprise editions, but only to filthy peasants like us
- Comment on Google will develop the Android OS fully in private; Will continue open source releases. 1 week ago:
we were worried about android being sold off because of what bad things the new owner would do with it
- Comment on Google will move Android AOSP development behind closed doors 1 week ago:
and google will be doing everything they can to grow incompatibility and make maintaining an open fork impossible. don’t forget that google employs devs for pay, but fork maintainers are doing it as a hobby, out of passion, while already working somewhere. It’s a bit similar to matrix, its homeservers and clients. the spec and the software evolves slowly, but its still too fast for alt implementations

I suppose the goal isa kind of poisoning the well, in case at any time in the future it becomes enforceable somehow

don’t forget that it uploads your non-microsoft email accounts’ passwords to microsoft so that they can steal your mails to their systems
- Comment on 'For too long, Apple has operated a walled garden around its products': The EU forces Apple to open its closed system to third parties 1 week ago:
yeah imagine. oh wait I think I remembered something… colleagues from work! or is it just my wild imagination? I’m not so sure anymore…

“Hey, since I don’t want to use apple devices anymore because the company sucks, I’ve decided to ditch it, therefore, I will not longer have access to iMessage. If you need to contact me, you can use XYZ (insert alternative here) or just call me/send a SMS.”
that only works when a majority of them relies on you. That’s rarely the situation in reality
Pretending like you need a specific messenger like iMessage for communication is dishonest at best and straightup stupid and manipulative at worst.
thinking like this is ignorant at best and intentionally manipulative at worst

well maybe on certain (mainstream?) subs, but tech subs like those that do something with selfhosting have a lot of discussions. including in the comments of posts that point to external content!
its a shame that there’s no lemmy instance thats basically a mirror of a few reddit subs (or is there?)
- Comment on U.S. Government Removes Tornado Cash Sanctions 1 week ago:
you did not ask them, but here is another perspective. I’m paying for online services. like twitch, with gift cards. not it doesn’t cost more. why don’t I pay with a bank account? because I don’t trust twitch and their payment provider with my data, like I refuse to add my phone number because that would make my account linkable with other things. I also don’t really trust my bank about what do I pay for, and it’s not like there are better banls out there.

you have no idea whatsoever what your talking

no one’s opinion and experiences count until they buy at least 10 pallet of toilet paper every week! wait, even that is not major in even your country’s economy so bad luck…
