Credit where it's due I'd say @notafbihoneypot would say Void all day, as it has runit. While @xenumonero would say Artix (openRC). I'm just not going to set it, it's admin-set only. Meaning (from my limited understanding) that if the distro installer isn't run, then it won't be set. Next OS install will not be a systemd sys though (probably void).

This is my device, bought with my own money… just let me use it however I want. I want to install APKs whenever I want, sideload apps, unlock the bootloader, root the device, and run whatever I choose. It’s my phone, I paid for it, and I take full responsibility for it. If I make a mistake, that’s on me. Stop forcing restrictions on everyone and treating users like they can’t decide for themselves.

Europol didn't say "difficult to trace" or "challenging".... they said can't, and that word choice matters.

@CBP You stole working bikes from working people and wrote a press release about it. People whose paychecks depend on taxes don't understand why someone bought the cheaper one. Shock.

Pedal to the medal! Officers in Norfolk, VA, recently seized e-bikes that failed to comply with federal motor vehicle safety standards. The internet has made it easier and quicker to get these items, but that doesn't always mean it's safer! Learn more: go.dhs.gov/i9i

@AgoristN Even on total lockdown with no visits and no rec, it's the same. Guards FTW. They stop drones because they hate competition.

🚨𝘽𝙍𝙀𝘼𝙆𝙄𝙉𝙂: European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen unveiled EU–INC, a new framework that lets you launch a company in 48 hours for under €100 Starting a company across the EU today = 27 legal systems, 60+ company structures 🤯 That might be about to change… The European Commission just introduced 𝗘𝗨 𝗜𝗻𝗰., a new optional corporate framework designed to make Europe actually function like one market. Here’s what stands out: → Set up a company in 48 hours → Cost: < €100 → Fully online, no minimum capital → One single framework across all EU countries → Easier share transfers & fundraising → EU-wide employee stock options (huge for talent) Especially the EU-wide stock option plans, taxed only when employees actually sell (instead of when granted) is huge. This makes it far easier for startups to attract and retain top talent, finally putting Europe closer to the US playbook. Source/More info: ec.europa.eu/commission/pre… In short: This is Europe trying to compete with the simplicity of a Delaware C-Corp 🇺🇸 And honestly… it’s long overdue. For years, European founders had 2 choices: 1. Stay local and deal with fragmentation 2. Move to the US to scale 𝗘𝗨 𝗜𝗻𝗰. is trying to remove that trade-off. If executed well, this could be one of the most important structural changes for European startups in decades. What do you think?

Keto diets have literally been used as a defense in DUI cases because the sensors can't tell the difference. Now they want this in every car deciding whether you're allowed to drive yourself to the hospital during an emergency.

@Eslash_Sdot_10 Ok, can you show this, since you're making the claim they can? I'd be interested to see how this was done, do you have specific case you're referring to?

How many of these congressmen actually mean what they say? “America First” sounds great… until it’s time to vote. FISA expires in 33 days: 4/20/26. Section 702 is on the table. Vote NO. Prove to the American people you're America First.

Vivaldi calls itself a browser that "doesn't track you" and is "privacy by design." But the technical reality tells us a different story. Vivaldi's own browser privacy policy says each installation profile is assigned a unique user ID and sends it to Vivaldi every 24 hours, together with version/build info, CPU architecture, screen resolution, time since last message, and an approximate location derived from a truncated IP. Vivaldi has said in blog and forum posts that the ID remains to improve the accuracy of active-user counts. Vivaldi is also NOT fully auditable. The company says roughly 92% of the browser is opensource Chromium, 3% is opensource Vivaldi code, and about 5% is a closed-source UI layer released only in obfuscated form. Vivaldi also says some security-relevant code lives in that UI. That means outsiders cannot independently audit the entire browser. The defaults are NOT especially hardened for privacy either. Out of the box, Vivaldi retains several Chromium-style behaviors: Google Safe Browsing is enabled, Google-backed services power some features, WebRTC remains on, and third-party cookies are only blocked by default in Private Windows (not regular browsing). Its built-in ad blocker is NOT maximally strict by default, and Vivaldi's own documentation notes that ads from certain partner search engines may still be allowed unless you disable the relevant list. Then there is Direct Match. Vivaldi describes it as a clearly labeled sponsored-suggestion feature that matches locally - but clicking it can trigger a background attribution request and may involve affiliate-network cookies. That can be disabled, and it is not the same thing as typing being silently sent to a partner. But it is still monetized navigation inside a browser marketed around privacy. Vivaldi says Safe Browsing works through downloaded lists and limited hash-based checks rather than sending Google a raw record of every page you visit. Broad claims like "no state partitioning" or "version lag automatically means unpatched CVEs" overreach. Vivaldi currently tracks Chromium Extended Stable with backported fixes. "privacy-first" should mean verifiable architecture, privacy-preserving defaults, and minimal unavoidable identifiers.
