I forget the exact terminology but I tried putting it into the most permissive mode available. Is still could not work with external hard drives. This was several years ago so I can't say what might have changed since then, but I did spend some time troubleshooting and at the time that functionality did not work. I'd read that it was possible in the previous version (maybe 18.04?)

Edit: Come to think of it, it might not have been as simple as "couldn't access external drives". It might have had something to do with how my disks were mounted and their permissions and mount points. I remember that I hit a wall at some point and further troubleshooting would have required more surgery on my system than I was willing to attempt.

Yeah, this kind of things drove me batty on Ubuntu. So many things were delivered as Snaps when they just don't work that way. The funniest one to me was Filebot. It's a media file naming/organizing tool....that doesn't have disk access. Are you kidding me, Canonical?

Flatpak is easier to work with, but has similar issues. Great for simple things, but I'm always worried that at some point I'm going to need some features that just won't work, and then it's going to be a hassle to migrate to a native installation. And it has no CLI support.

And yeah, the bloat is wild. Deduplication on btrfs (or similar) helps but there's no getting past the bandwidth bloat.

I miss the Nexus 4.

This is Kaspersky, so the only answer you're going to get from them is "use Kaspersky Premium".

The only non-Play apps they mention in their report are modified versions of otherwise-clean apps (like Spotify or Minecraft). They didn't mention anything on F-Droid or other app stores.

My favorite episode of the season so far. It was just fun.

I loved Encyclopedia Brown when I was a kid, and I enjoyed seeing Leela and Bender play Sally and Leroy.

That doesn't seem like a lot. I've certainly gone extended periods eating more than 150g (~5.3 ounces) of nuts per day. I thought nuts were a healthy snack, and often my only breakfast is a bunch of cashews or almonds.

More likely a DaiMon using a thought maker.

If anyone is, I hope they're running a third-party ROM like GrapheneOS, because Google ended software support last year.

Google increased their support window after the 5, so the 6 is still good for another couple years of security updates.

I understand that etymologically, it makes perfect sense to pronounce daemon the same as demon because it's the same word. But I'll never stop pronouncing it day- instead of dee-, as if it's a Ferengi captain.

If anything, it demonstrates that the law has mathematical validity. Fact-checking simply requires more work than making shit up. Even when AI gets to the point where it can do research and fact-check things effectively (which is bound to happen eventually), it'll still be able to produce bullshit in a fraction of that time, and use that research ability to create more convincing bullshit.

Fact-checking requires rigor. Bullshit does not. There's no magic way to close that gap.

However, most social media sites already implement rate limits on user submissions, so it might actually be possible to fact-check people's posts faster than they are allowed to make them.

A portable solar generator and batteries would be very valuable. Smartphones are immensely useful even without internet access. You could even get a meshnet going for medium-scale communication if other people in your area are similarly equipped. No power grid required.
