I’m a computer and open source enthusiast from Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
This was a headscratcher for me. Facebook is the last place I’d go looking for anything Linux or open source related. 🤷🏻♂️ It has devolved into a repository of scammy ads, that even if reported are deemed “OK” by their standards team, useless TikTok style video shorts and reposts, and a bunch of boomers yelling at various clouds/sending birthday greetings to each other.
Eh, if you’re gonna donate it, at least research the org that you’re donating it to. Lots of non-profits and registered charities squander their donations on administrative overhead.
Yup, good point. One can run a private instance for “selfish” reasons.
I’d be happy to lend a hand.
Get a free VPS from Oracle cloud in whatever region you want, run Wireguard on it. There, now you have a VPN that you control, and since it’s hosted by Oracle, and not a VPN company, there’s no way to “detect” it.
Soon they’re gonna start using Widevine DRM to encrypt the Javascript required to access the search results. 🤦🏻♂️
Are you thinking what I’m thinking? Gorilla glue… hmmm… 🤔
In case anyone is wondering what the relevance is… we are 98% chimp genetically speaking.
When are we going to see bootloader bypasses/vulnerabilities on mobile devices? Being stuck with the vendor’s shitty Android build sucks.
The term “Nazi” has been overused so much, especially in US [identity] politics, that it’s losing (or has already lost) its meaning. When are we going to start calling elevator farts “genocide” and “nazism”? 🤷🏻♂️
If the outrage is based on the screenshot of the comment above, I’d say that this is a typical example of “Swiss neutrality” with a touch of “I don’t give a flying f*ck about US politics because I don’t live in the US.” I don’t see how that makes you a nazi??
I suspect I may be missing something here…
Thanks for the insight! I work for a publicly-funded educational institution (a non-profit as well), and can attest to having to adhere to similar restrictions that you mentioned, albeit not 100% the same.
What you describe here sounds like technical debt that was assumed by the organization due to an initial lack of knowledge/experience in an environment where sufficient restrictions exist that effectively stifle organizational agility. This lack of agility in turn results in higher operational costs.
I think that’s ironic, because at the end if the day, the root cause of inflated operational costs happen to be the regulations/restrictions put in place to avoid frivolous spending in the first place.
