Is it invisible to accessibility options as well? Like if I need a computer to tell me what the assignment is, will it tell me to do the thing that will make you think I cheated?

Cox asks supreme court to reject record labels' petition over ISPs 'Piracy Profits'. in c/piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com

All those examples have the company (the ISP in this case) choosing to hire someone, this would be more similar to:

If someone rents a hotel room, and then gets busted by the police for prostitution, is the hotel liable?

Inside the U.S. Government-Bought Tool That Can Track Phones at Abortion Clinics in c/technology@lemmy.world

I'll admit I didn't open the article, as far as I'm aware the best way to sidestep silly requirements like warrants is to just purchase data intended for advertising. Databrokers really have an amazing wealth of info ready to be tapped into, all you gotta do is pay.

Internet Archive's support email has now been compromised in c/piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com

90 days is standard for "you're code is fucked when someone presses this..."; if the issue is Dave left the keys in the parking lot and someone copied them, two weeks is more than enough time for them to recieve the notice, create a ticket to rotate the keys and a ticket to trigger an investigation (gotta document anytime an org fucks up so it doesn't happen again, right?). Maybe I'm over simplifying it though, I don't know how their org operates.

Sadly I think it has more to do with the way Windows handles stuff in general. My personal machine seems to have no issues, LMDE with the foxes (Firefox/LibreWolf); my work computer though, Windows with the chromes (Edge/Chrome) seems to get confused the moment their is a second profile in the browser.

All that being said, I've definitely tried clearing the cookies and just living with it.

I tick that box a hundred times a day and can confirm it doesn't do shit (at least in my work environment).

The official Nintendo Museum appears to be emulating SNES games on a Windows PC, which is slightly embarrassing in c/games@lemmy.world

[–] ITGuyLevi@programming.dev 10 points 4 weeks ago

I don't disagree they are their games, but is it their emulator, or did they just download one of the many online? Really doesn't matter, just love to see companies bitch about something, then turn around and do it themselves.

Thank you good sir, now I have coffee on my robe!

How "out of date" is Debian really? in c/linux@programming.dev

[–] ITGuyLevi@programming.dev 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

That's exactly why Debian is my go to.

Microsoft Recall is now an explorer.exe dependency in c/technology@lemmy.world

[–] ITGuyLevi@programming.dev 3 points 1 month ago

Debian is always my first choice, but I'm not playing the newest stuff (Far Cry 5/7D2D/Ark/etc), while it hasn't been 'smooth sailing', I haven't found anything that just refuses to play.
