Big thanks for detailed answer! My understanding is more clear now.
There are some speculations about TPM uncontrollably sending data to manufacturer servers if a laptop has any Internet connection. Others say it's not intended/capable of that, like this answer for example (which is 5 years old though).
Lemmy, what do you say?
and also typing only with index fingers constantly looking at the keyboard :'( :'( :'(
"international war sponsor" what a nice title, I think every company operating in US should have it!
Don't send any data that you haven't sent already! Just block 'em f out, feels so nice :D Or they'll demand a nude selfie next time!
Maybe bcause you use a cloudflare DNS? xD there are mirrors tho: https://git.kescher.at/dCF/deCloudflare/src/branch/master/readme/en.md
And those are the two options, unfortunately.
Exactly. Mozilla is better but not that much. What we really need is a 100% community-developed browser engine sponsored by several large companies that are independent from each other. But seems like it's too late, we're boiled frogs at this point. Although maybe these are the circumstances under which such an initiative could finally emerge.
Thanks for pointing out! This tool seems to look and work awesome, but non-foss browser extension is an instant 'NO'...
Just installed what popped up first in F-Droid search (Jerboa) and not feeling like I need something else - everything just works and UI/UX feels natural.
Oh, this paragraph somehow escaped my attention 😯 Big thanks for pointing out!
Yeah, thanks, that's pretty much it! Except we cannot really make days of the week get locked to the days of our year because 365 is not divisible by 7, and we're adding 1 day to February every 4th year on top of that.
Ok, I've rephrased the edit section once more
But the 7 days comes from the amount of time it takes to go from one visible lunar phase to another
I'm not arguing with that, but my question is different: where in history is the exact reference point (day) of today's weekday countdown? From when have people decided to stop adding or subtracting adjustment days and kept counting till today? The might have been some shifts along the way, but there should be a point exactly N x 7 days ago from which the 7-day countdown has not been interrupted. Or at least the earliest known day in history that everyone on Earth agreed upon as a reference point.
Here is the problem, because actual lunar cycle is 29.5 days long, so if we simply count its phases with whole 7 days it will quickly run out of sync. Therefore Babylonians and other ancient folks added a couple of 'out-of-week' days every now an then to compensate the difference.
Well, the question is not about the origin and sequence of weekday names, but about the first day in history of uninterrupted count of 7-day cycles which leads to today’s state of the week. Added this to the post.
I mean, if today i.e. is Sunday then someone long time ago should have said "Today will be Sunday" for the first time in a period from today that is multiple of seven. I was assuming that it was Pope Gregory XIII in October 1582, but looks like he is not. I failed in googling and duckduckgoing out the answer, so I ask for Lemmy's collective wisdom!
EDIT: so question is not about the origin of 7-day week and sequence of weekday names, but about the exact reference point (day) of today’s weekday countdown. From when have people stopped adding or ommiting any adjustment 'out-of-week' days (like in Babylon or Rome) and kept counting to seven till today? In other words, there should be a point exactly N x 7 days ago from which the 7-day countdown has not been interrupted. Or at least the earliest known day in history that everyone on Earth agreed upon as a reference point
EDIT 2: Solved by https://lemmy.world/comment/1852458 Thanks everyone!
They have a separate repository for the server.
Well, it's still pretty rough because it's in early development stage, but blazingly fast thanks to Rust (and Dart?). And seeing how active development is right now gives good hopes.
Nothing that requires your phone number to register or has centralized backend could be considered privacy-friendly.
So, I asked Notion AI to write a rant about Reddit. Even AI should have something to say. And this was her reply, with an uncompromising conclusion: >Reddit is a popular social news aggregation and discussion website where users can post content, vote on it, and comment on it. While it can be a great source of entertainment and information, my experience with Reddit has been nothing short of frustrating. > >Firstly, the site is overrun with trolls and negativity. It seems like no matter what the topic, there is always someone ready to spew hate and negativity in the comments section. This can make it a very unpleasant place to spend time and can even discourage people from participating in discussions. > >Secondly, the upvote/downvote system promotes a "hive mind" mentality and often leads to popular opinions drowning out dissenting voices. This can stifle meaningful discussion and discourage people from sharing their own unique perspectives. > >Lastly, the site can be overwhelming and difficult to navigate. There are countless subreddits and it can be hard to find the ones that are relevant to your interests. The search function is also notoriously unreliable, making it even harder to find what you're looking for. > >Overall, while Reddit has its benefits, I find the site to be more trouble than it's worth.
