Doesn’t look good, Tonic (.to domain registry) got subpoenaed https://torrentfreak.com/ace-goes-after-fmovies-sister-site-successors-240824/

Not so in Germany, where you can be hit with charges by the company. In one famous case in 2021, the conservative party pressed charges against a data researcher, after she responsibly disclosed a massive data leak via their party app. After the court determined, that afromentioned data was insufficiently secured, those charges were dropped.

This proved to the tech-side in Germany, that responsible disclosure just harms yourself in the end and that German companies (and political parties) might as well go fuck themselves.

Edit: Grammar

Zsh: "Zed shell" or "Zee shell" (depends)

SSH: spelt out S-S-H (both in English and in my native language)

sudo: like "sumo wrestler" only with a "d"

Current student here (CS, so sadly not in your field):

In my case, college/university actually made sure, I and many others would be using Linux as their main system. The computer lab is using Linux (Ubuntu 22.04 mainly) although Windows machines (mostly for beginner courses) and Macs (for stuff like Final Cut Pro and other Apple exclusive software) are available and many courses are either requiring or putting mainline support towards Linux.

Document wise - we were taught LaTeX from day 1 and are expected to have at least the knowledge to utilize the given .cls files. Sharing documents is rather a free-for-all: When LaTeX is required for the course, either Overleaf or the university git is the choice for group-work, otherwise there aren't requirements for using .docx files or other files.

Hope I could give you an insight, although not in your field.

Agreed. Even though I dislike Eyeo's practices as well (letting the ad companies pay for whitelisting their ads), it's a better outcome than outright banning ad blockers (or if Axel Springer had gotten their ways, "light" web-browsing via reader modes would have been turned illegal as well)

Axel Springer tried again recently, arguing that ad blockers "infringe copyright by altering HTML elements on their sites", and Germany waits, because a similar lawsuit happened in Luxembourg which will be settled on the European level.

Another article, where they tried the exact same thing two years ago: https://www.spiegel.de/netzwelt/web/landgericht-hamburg-ueber-adblock-plus-springer-verlag-verliert-erneut-a-5e058ee7-e0fa-4f0e-aa10-d95d9cfad654 (also in German)

(Also it's not a constutional right (Verfassungsrecht), since it wasn't the BVerfG that ruled in the first case (they tried to get them to rule, but no response was given), but a civil case ruled in the first instance by the BGH, after the local courts told Axel Springer to get bent)

(Edited: Added more context)

It's barely even visible but the fan is on the "flat" side, I think?

That's exactly it, Bazzite, a distro associated with gaming, running on hardware that even at release was criticized for being "landfill fodder".

At least Ubuntu makes it easy to roam through their archives. Have fun :)

maybe a salo joke? at least that would be my first guess

I currently use endeavourOS and I am happy with it, due to it being "just Arch with some wallpapers and optional extras".

I am open for more though, even if it's just for trying out :)

One might even say... scaroused.
