Could be an RCE exploit. Doesn't matter if it's privilege escalation at that point because it can be used to execute a payload that can.

Endeavor OS solves most of those problems. Out of box experience is fantastic, and the installer is the best I've ever used.

That being said, I still wouldn't recommend it due to the Arch package maintainers willingness to break userspace.

You will do a system update and it will break something. Most recent for me was Python packages. I updated my system and suddenly pip stopped working because they decided to follow PEP-668 and force the user to install packages using pacman.

The rationale given was allowing the user to install packages outside of the distro's control can potentially break system tools like Fedora's DNF, which is python based.

Now, I've done this on Fedora, it's not fun. But you know what else? FEDORA DOESN'T EVEN ENABLE THIS FEATURE YOU FUCKING IMBECILES.

I can increase my cellphone plan with the click of a button.

If I want to decrease it that same button redirects to a live chat where I have to talk to one of their agents.

Their agents will genuinely give you a better deal, but for some reason can't change your plan to a lesser one without breaking your contract, causing hundreds of dollars in extra fees.

The brick and mortar agents can do it in 2 minutes with no hassle. You walk in and say I want this plan, show your id, sign the change request and you're done.

I don't even think they are doing it on purpose. Why would they have a button that connects me to someone they are paying to convince me to give them less money per month? They cut my wife's bill in half because she is month to month.

It's just Hanlons Razor. Supreme incompetence.

A good chunk of both my TikTok and YouTube feed is already Canadian content creators.

It's in their best interest to promote local results because they tend to be more engaging.

I doubt any of the social media platforms will have to change anything, and the streaming services already have CanCon sections.

Because all of the other retailers do the same shit only with higher prices. Here in Canada they don't pay their employees any less than the competition, yet their prices are 30-40% cheaper on average.

That extra 40% doesn't result in better working conditions for the employees, it goes directly to the shareholders and bonuses for the C-suite.

I respect the hell out of Walmart because they actually keep their price increases tied to inflation and aren't out there trying to sell a loaf of poverty white bread for $5 or a pack of 4 chicken breasts for $37.

They should release virus trading cards. Get vaccinated to receive a booster pack with the various variants and a chance to get limited edition numbered runs.

It's down to personal preference I think. Both apps are a cut above any of the Lemmy only apps.

But I didn't like Reddit Sync, so the Lemmy version was still a no for me.

Boost is Boost. It feels like home, and doesn't cost an asinine amount of money to support.

My laptop is 4 years old at this point. I spent $2400 on it before I wanted something future proof, and while it's still plenty fast with it's 10th gen Intel processor and 32gb ram, knowing that I could drop $500 and upgrade to the latest AMD or Intel chip makes me wish I could have held out another year and gotten the framework.

Given that we've more or less peaked in terms of non-gaming performance I probably won't be buying another laptop until this one dies but my next laptop will be a framework without question as well.

Lol the US will invade not because they are our ally, but because they believe they are the only ones that are allowed to attack Canada.

Google didn't buy HTC. They bought the parts of the company responsible for making the first Pixel phone.

HTC is still a separate entity. They just don't release 25 phones/year now, and all of their stuff is mid-range garbage.

My favourite Jellyfin feature is the one where it doesn't 'accidentally' reset my dashboard every few weeks to promote its garbage free streaming partners. I don't think I could give that feature up.

I have a $2 USB C cable I got off of Ali that I use to charge my laptop at 65W. It's rated for 100W but I have no way of testing it.

It's actually higher quality than any official apple cable I've used, although that's a pretty low bar.
