“All YubiKeys running firmware prior to version 5.7—which was released in May and replaces the Infineon cryptolibrary with a custom one—are vulnerable.”

I suppose I decided to start using hardware keys at the right time, I just got three 5C NFC keys and a 5C Nano this week and they’re all on the newer firmware.

I’m not surprised to see Jacob Collier and Snarky Puppy in the same playlist, but also with Sammy Rae and That Handsome Devil? That’s a killer playlist, even if it’s only for the meme.

Right as they have begun rolling out Copilot… It’s a dystopian world we are about to be a part of, if you don’t already think we’re living in it now. Viva la Linux!

Can it store a cylinder?

I’m not sure why but for some reason I thought this was Minecraft for a moment.

For a moment I thought this was a ham radio sub, not Lemmy Shitposting lmao

I love Librewolf too, and if you’re looking to explore other options I do recommend giving the Mullvad Browser a go. It’s another firefox fork but I believe it handles fingerprinting in a better manner. Similarly, it comes with uBlock Origin built in but also NoScript. I’d likely use it as my primary browser but I don’t really care for NoScript and removing the extension would ultimately defeat the fingerprint resistance of Mullvad.

I don’t think there’s any sense in overlooking flaws just because something is overall better. Firefox is the massively better choice if the goal is to avoid data collection. However, I don’t think that means it’s fair to let things slide so easily. A community that calls out its developers when they make a mistake can ultimately improve things, and prevents devs from saying “they won’t understand and they won’t care.” Firefox isn’t a total angel when it comes to data collection, I mean telemetry being opt-out instead of opt-in is a pretty big boon, even if it’s not as bad as it is in other browsers. I’m not sure what agenda you believe is being pushed here, I never once suggested folks jump ship from Firefox to Chrome.

Y’all can downvote this person but they aren’t necessarily wrong. Unfortunately, it seems you have to pick the poison you know in the browser space or take a risk with something else. And something else is usually just one of those original poisons wearing a different label. That said, there are some projects that tend to be of better form than others. Consider the Mullvad Browser and Librewolf. Those two are built on Firefox but are “fixed” enough to mitigate the crap Firefox has done. For Android, I believe Mull browser is the best one can get right now, it’s like a mobile Arkenfox.

I read through this and I’m not entirely certain I understand. I do know people that bury themselves in dozens of tabs, with s bookmarks toolbar that just confuses the heck out of me each time it’s there. Still, I feel like a lot of organization (or lack thereof) falls on the user. However, with the right information management skills, I feel like most people don’t ever need more than four tabs open at one time.

Shaking my mouse “Haha this is so cool, look at it get bigger!” Continues shaking until the cursor takes up a quarter of my screen “Dear God what have I done.”

That’s dystopian as hell

The USB C to 3.5mm dongles out there are plentiful and to be honest you can’t really go wrong with any one. At the end of the day, they all behave pretty similarly as they contain a DAC and an amp built them. At this point, the world of audio has gone far enough that decent audio chips are pretty cheap and it’s not all that likely you’ll actually hear any significant differences between different dongles.

If you are an Android user, be wary of which dongle you get if you’re looking at the Apple ones. Depending on the region the dongle is made for, some users report issues where the dongle chooses not to amplify the signal properly. I ran into this problem with the model MU7E2AM/A and it’s just annoying. Android and external DACs can be kinda hit or miss for some reason, and the dongle only functioned properly using a specific music player app that kinda overrides the system and forces it to use the DAC (the app is USB Audio Player Pro).

You can buy dongles pretty cheap on the cheapo sites like Aliexpress, which isn’t a terrible idea. You could buy a few cheaper ones and be fine for a long while. I’ve had issues with the longevity of certain dongles, daily use can sometimes put physical stress on the USB connector if you’re not careful, which is why I would just keep a few different dongles and chew through em as needed.

That is disgusting. 'nuff said.

This is somewhat outside the box but as tech becomes easier, a lot of people tend to become weaker at certain tech skills. An example of this is directory management. A lot of folks don’t organize their file structures nowadays, relying heavily on the search bar to find everything.

I read through the update but I’m not quite sure what this means for Valve or Arch Linux. Can users expect better compatibility with hardware and software for gaming? Will this affect other distros or only Arch?

As a Proton user? Definitely.
