yea, i saw i need to enable 2fa it to contact the support, then i set up TOTP and a passkey. but they still "needed" a phone number for "my security". and then even "needed" a phone number to contact support to ask them to delete my account, absolutely idiotic. had no idea that gituhub is so shitty cuz all the open source stuff is there.

also what fucking cancer is github? apparently my account is "flagged". i literary made one single "issue" before where simply i asked how to donate. now this trash company needs my phone number to allow me to contact the support or delete my account lol.

anyway, if anyone has an account there, would be cool of you to comment the following (or something similar) on this issue:

I agree that it's a bit useless right now, but please consider removing it. Because auto-repetitions with a (custom) limit would be super cool. Certain languages contain countless words with double letters. Simple example: typing the word better equals touching the display 6 times. With the feature "key repeat on long press until the character is typed 2 times" it would just be 5 times.

ive created a custom unexpected keyboard layout with this tool (bless this lixquid person and their family!)

its basically a copy of thumb key, which i love but could never use due its lack of customization.

as a complete noob i have a few questions and appreciate any help 💚

  • i dont want the default numeric layout how to delete it? now it gets activated in PIN situations. I only want my own 2 custom layouts.

  • is it possible to max out the "key repeat on long presses" after a character is typed 2 times? (german has an awful lot of double letters, that function would improve the keyboard a lot) (backspace should not be limited tho)

  • thumb key has this amazing "currency modifier" (e+modifier=€, s+modifier=$, y+modifier=¥ etc.) does unexpected keyboard have the same?

  • (not really important but) can i customize the emoji bar to remove the default bottom row and keep my most right column as it is now?

lol probably. i just discovered it and was surprised cuz there are (some) people with actual experience and qualifications talking, unlike all those youtube ~~experts and analysts~~ preachers

palestinians tried "throwing flowers and slogans" for decades, only to get shot by the most moral snipers. it doesnt matter what he really meant or what he believes, he is the "master of a terrorist state" by his own definition, thats all, kinda funny. i know zionists dont care about morale, international laws or whatever, but if he lives long enough, they should play that clip in the trials.

seems very cheap, but yea, 63 mil is basically an F35? no idea. i got it from here

not a military expert by any means, but an arrow 3 missile costs ~$62 millions. some footage (cannot find it anymore, one was on a beach) showded basically intact "metal tubes". some explosions of hits were so small, it seemed there wasnt even a warhead on it.

is there something to that?

l mean why spend money on warheads when gps/whatever can collect intel and force israel to spend $62 millions to try to intercept it?

I've enabled "Delete cookies and site data when Firefox is closed" but while all cookies gets deleted, some random site data does not. Are my settings wrong, is this a bug, and what even is that data?

Additional Info: I use RFP, want to keep browsing history and site settings. Thank you very much.

So I've read the linked policy and believe it or not, but turns out we literally cannot use Microsoft Services to conduct crimes against Humanity or do things that are illegal in +99% of all countries.

I'm usually not easily triggered, but why should I pay for a Corp that seems to view me as a malware and spam distributing pedophile terrorist bully that is involved in drug trade and human trafficking?

And who exactly is this aimed for? Which criminal on god's forsaken earth will read this and conclude, oh darn it, guess I need to stop my operations then?

Also, the Services Agreement etc. is full of language like "we might delete your account and Data for reason X, Y or Z or maybe for no reason at all lol", which is itself bullying and causes stress, cuz for example, it's still not clear whether we can use stuff like Cryptomator, Joplin or Duplicati (never had a Problem with it, but still, why not clarify that instead of "don't commit stuff that will land you in a Cell in Den Haag")

I know most of you use Linux, and this might be what finally pushes me to that step too. Never saw an Ad in MS, it's not bloated, and I trust Defender, BitLocker, Core Isolation, Secure Boot and the Memory and Folder Protection stuff, but don't need to be insulted like that. Just need to find an Office Writer with tracked Changes in Balloons, LanguageTool support and something like AHK.

Bonus Question. Has anyone a batch/torrent Download link for 1 TB of Public Domain Images? Doesn't matter what it is, Art, Space, Stock images, just something that is ok with the MS Guidelines. I might not use the storage anymore, but I'm sure gonna use it.

The State Bank of Vietnam’s disgraced inspection chief Do Thi Nhan said she regrets taking a bribe of US$5.2 million to cover up wrongdoing at Saigon Commercial Bank.

[...]

She pleaded with the court to show leniency given her remorse and other mitigating factors like handing in the entire bribe money to authorities and excellence performance at work earlier. But prosecutors said the mitigating factors notwithstanding, her crimes were "exceptionally cunning" and worthy of a life sentence for bribery.

[...]

The prosecutors have recommended capital punishment for her for committing severe crimes over a long period and causing irrevocable consequences.

I provide a service for direct use (forgot the real term).

as an independent worker with my own business I am not an organized worker and have no solidarity with ppl who do the same job. true lumpen.

but then learned about the whole concept of unproductive labour. there is no capitalist who steals my surplus value. true unproductive worker?

what am I?

I'd like to install/run Kicksecure from my "EAGET USB 3.2 Solid State Pen Drive" as described here. (Im not set on Kicksecure, just read about it on privacyguides; open for suggestions! I just want something ... well secure and easy to use.

... However, my Windows PC does not recognize the USB with Debian as a bootable medium.

What I did:

  1. Download debian-live-12.5.0-amd64-xfce
  2. Flash it to USB with balenaEtcher
  3. Try to boot from it in all possible ways

I also tried other Linux distributions like Mint and Ubuntu ... nothing gets recognized on that USB, expect Tails. After it recognizes it as UEFI OS and I select Harddisk Mode.

Tails is amazing, love it! But I just don't really need Tor, and mostly I need to use an App that will simply not connect via the Tor network and cannot be configured to do so.

Thank you very much 😊

Edit: Not everything can boot on windows I guess. But in my case Ubuntu suddenly could after turning off the PC and remove it from its power source.

Infomaniak claims to use TLS, but

The first link in the TLS chain is executed via a purely internal network by the webmail and Smtp servers and is not available in TLS for performance reasons.

is this normal, acceptable, irrelevant, standard, a red flag?

they are the biggest hosting provider of Switzerland, so I somehow have a hard time believing, they lack resources to implement TLS right.
