Sticking it into a sandbox is reasonable, but you can also use more privacy aware browsers like LibreWolf. Chrome and Chromium will track you 100%, so don’t launch those unless necessary.

At least that’s what I do.

Yeah, but you don’t have to be a dick about it.

Wat? If you have something running on your system that’s tracking you, you are already fucked. It doesn’t require that file. It can just create one anywhere on the system and use it, if need be.

The article doesn’t seem to say. I don’t know if it’s a problem with defaults or caused by the devs themselves.

Stay in your lane when it comes to claims of expertise sir sky cabbie

No need to be a dick, bro.

Don’t worry, they’ll release Windows 12 / Aion, which is basically Edge + Copilot OS. Can’t wait for that to be released.

You can crosspost, but I don’t know how well lemmy interacts with it. It has major problems interacting with peertube and mastodon.

If you started it in the terminal and are using bash hit “ctrl+z” to put the process to sleep and get your shell back, then use “fg ; sudo shutdown - c 1”. “fg” puts a job back in the foreground.

Use “help fg” for more information. You also have “bg” (background) and “kill %1” to kill a specific job. There’s more, but I forget how to list tasks (maybe “tasks”?) “jobs” to list jobs.

Those aren’t energy-efficient activities to begin with (except maybe browsing, but bwosers are entire OSes now). I’m not sure how energy-efficient those can be made in the first place.

Providing fodder for the “ermagerd, rust is evil” crowd, even though it has nothing to do with rust.

Am I understanding this correctly? They didn’t like the outcome so they are suspending the process and going ahead with it anyway?

Love it how everybody’s mocking this entitled clown.

The dude is a luser

How is this going to effect the fediverse?

Age verification laws are being suggested with absolutely no manner of remediation. If your details ate exposed because of crap like this, you will bear the brunt of the damage.

Do you believe “left-wing” ideologies are more negative?

Is it a special device? How does it send signals for mouse and keyboard? Via some USB protocol? And how is the video transfered?

I see you’re here just to be negative. No thank you.

Kernel already does.

Depends on which governor you have active

??? So it would close my IRC client when I look away? Fuck that.

Don’t be daft. Look at what Android provides.

OS matters, linux is probably the most efficient. The distribution matters less. But it also depends on what you want to do. Use it as a desktop?

As others have said, disable services you don’t need, close programs you aren’t using.

Actually that does make me think, there might be distros that automatically clean up unused programs and turn down the frequency of the CPU when it’s not in use. Haven’t done a thorough search though.
