Re: How Google pioneered the "surveillance capitalism" business model

People with something to sell (and in more recent times, Marketing companies) have been trying to manipulate us for 100s if not 1000s of years. Every time you watch a movie or a tv show you are being manipulated (it used to be called "Product Placement"... maybe still is). Tobacco companie...

Re: How Google pioneered the "surveillance capitalism" business model

I'm a huge Google fan.

Since I use an Android phone Google knows where I am anyway, if I were to disable location it ...

Re: Are we safe from the Skidmap Linux Miner?

Re: All home directory folders show on desktop

First thought (assuming Thunar still handles the Desktop)... Have you checked ~/.config/thunar/user-dirs.dirs - it should look like this: # This file is written by xdg-user-dirs-update # If you want to change or add directories, just edit the line you're # interested in. All local changes will be re...

Re: What does this article mean for MX Linux?

If they stop including init.d scripts for packages that need to run services (which is what is being talked about) it will take a lot more work by our developers to continue avoiding mandatory systemd usage when the current Debian Testing becomes Stable in a couple years. That doesn't mean we won't...

Re: Nuke a SSD - Dban will not work on a SSD

There's similar info about clearing the Memory Cells on Arch Wiki. Also Parted Magic has a Disk Erase Utility that handles SSDs (select the Internal option). (<-- I forgot that you had to pay for it ;) )
