Each popularity-contest host is identified by a random 128bit uuid (MY_HOSTID in /etc/popularity-contest.conf). This uuid is used to track submissions issued by the same host. It should be kept secret.

Oh, and by default, IP, unless usetor is enabled

A machine I’d is just a hash too

Can you explain to me how you track Mac address, serial numbers over the internet.

Just fyi, the backend project I made 20 years ago was hardware related. There’s potential reasons to grab this info…

But, if it is a concern, I’m sure they’d welcome submissions to improve the parsing and allow things to be filtered.

In fact, popcon could be used for digital fingerprinting technically

In all likelihood, op never spoke to the manjaro developers either

Don’t like it, don’t opt in

Even Debian has popcon

There are lots of benefits for developers to gather telemetry.

Don’t like that? Fork and do your own distro (presumably though you don’t contribute anything to open source, so id expect such people to simply whine and get angry at contributors)

Depends on the country and where it was recorded

In a lot of places, it’s completely legal to record if he’s part of the conversation.

If he was not, in many places it’s illegal

If it’s a public place where there is no expectation of privacy, also possibly nothing you can do

Yeah… I’m wrong. You’re right

I’m sure internationally everyone loves dealing with a guy who breaks contracts.

Mate, you’re just spitting out numbers…

Trump already said f you to our ex prime Minister. You think Trump gives a toss about foreign investment?

If Trump does what everyone expects him to, it’s even possible he’ll get in a position where he loses allies

World leaders in general don’t like trump.

He’s openly being a Nazi now. If it’s a cutthroat win, he’ll start prosecuting anyone he disagrees with to Guarantee control. If it’s a huge win, it’s less likely. Don’t forget, there were a lot of people affected by the Nazis, and he is openly being a Nazi now

But he’ll do whatever he needs to do to have ultimate power.

Don’t think world leaders though will bend over and take it from the golden diaper man… They’ll simply tolerate him. Especially since he has a reputation for breaking contracts.

And he’ll find every excuse he can to not pay either (if we send wool for instance, he’ll find a few grains of dirt, claim it’s low quality and than demand a refund or he’ll send it back).

Don’t underestimate the risk management other world leaders use on him

I have plenty of friends who just became Aussie citizens.

One literally was less than a week ago

What newspapers are saying and what’s actually happening is two different things

I was joking about asylum, but there are many paths of entry

Firstly, I live in Australia… We have lots of migrants here. So yeah, I’ve seen the policies. In fact, I get along better with migrants than many multi generation Aussies

And yeah, calling them refugees was part joke, but part truth. There are lots of ways to enter including work or study. If Trump wins, its possible he’ll mess up so bad he’ll be overthrown within 4 years (that’s the worrying thing. I lived in Indonesia during the riots). So, anyone migrating might not need to last long (even the right wing will realize they fucked up bad)

Considering how many people Trump has pissed off including our ex PM, I don’t think countries will hesitate as much as you think…

You need to come here to Australia mate.

Honestly, I feel like there are going to be a lot of refugees from the US if Trump wins

Simple game theory

Harris: +1. Because she actually is a good person. The only people saying anything else are Republicans really . Don’t forget she used to fight for sexual assault victims and such (look at her past actions). Walz is just as good as a person

Trump: -1: no explanation needed

Anyone else: 0 points

It’s only logical to vote for Harris/Walz. Unless you actually believe trump . But, if you use the arguments Trump has used against Biden and Harris, you’ll see all of them work equally well on him. He is sleepy, he is old, and he is a criminal

I’d say the ones who have been saying it’s not real should be the first to become soylent green

That’s the same one I have, even here in Australia.

Awesome piece of kit

I don’t see the point. It’s like twitter. Never saw the point of that either instead of lemmy or Reddit honestly

Hopefully we get DP over USBC soon on the m2 Mac studios

The reason people buy from steam though and develop for them though is because of their service.

Thor from pirate software mentions that even as a developer there are good reasons for them to use steam.

Even just the cloud saves and such is awesome

Theres a few people who are arguing in bad faith whose sole intention is to stop people voting to boost the right wing.

If you check a lot of them, they’re right wingers pretending temporarily to be left wing

I guarantee they’re the same ones causing issues everywhere with everything from environmental policies to helping the lower class

And let’s be blunt, they ignore absolutely everything except Israel because it’s the only argument they have left.

And it’s such a stupid hill to die on and to stop voting.

Because one candidate is causing a civil war, is a criminal, a rapist and is incredibly dangerous. He talks like a mob boss knowing the implications of his actions. One of them is stripping rights

Trump is advocating for Nazism within the US, and you have to understand it’s a huge issue that is having world wide implications. His own people know he’s dangerous.

That’s why he’s being ignored. They’re often not centrist. They are simply a single issue voter who often lean towards the right wing actually (but don’t want to say it)

Try writing a init script on systemD.

It’s amazingly simple

That just means more cyclists on the roads.

That will just make people like him angrier. Good

Jokes on them. Facebook in Australia is an absolute cesspool.

And nobody from Facebook is doing anything with the reports

So, the only application for this data is to build a bot which acts like an asshole and make photos of cars which assholes own.
