Why is caffra insulting? I’ve never even heard the word before except in plant names.

We required (pretty sure it was fire code) designated people to carry immobile people down the stairs.

When I worked in a high rise we had floor fire wardens per office, and we had to have a plan on who would carry injured or otherwise immobile people down the stairs. I had an ankle surgery at one point and had a designated carrier, and a secondary for when they were out of office.

It’s a general security solution. They run on Mac and Linux as well. It just happened that crowdstrike only released the broken update for windows.

They make security software for every OS. My company has it running on our Macs, and Linux servers as well. It just happened to only break windows because that’s what they released the update for.

That is incorrect. I implemented GDPR for a finance company whose lawyers are contracted to companies like Google to fix their legal mistakes so I trust the lawyers at that company far more than I trust Google’s. That affair you’re describing could easily be taken to court as they are failing to uphold gdpr.

And you can easily go look up the law yourself. https://www.compliancejunction.com/gdpr-frequently-asked-questions/

Does GDPR Apply to EU Citizens Living Abroad?

GDPR protects the personal data and the rights of data subjects as long as they are EU citizens, no matter where they are living.

Just because someone claims something to sue a company does not mean it’s true. You gotta go through the whole court process and prove it.

It says Valve “forces” game publishers to sign up to so-called price parity obligations, preventing titles being sold at cheaper prices on rival platforms

I’ve never seen any publisher claim this, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t true. But it sure doesn’t sound like that has anything to do with being a monopoly. Epic, GoG, Ubisoft, etc. could all do the exact same thing.

Anyway, thanks for the link. I was not the one to downvote you on your last comment. You did what I asked.

Ah. OK thanks. Usenet is way better than torrents imo so I haven’t needed a vpn in over a decade.

Mac comes built in with those shortcuts just by holding command. Command left and right is home and end. Command up and down is page up page down.

And yeah there are definitely some holes? But Karabiner-Elements closes them up better than anything on windows does.

For navigation by keyboard you need to turn off a bunch of the animations and it’s very very snappy. I use Hammerspoon and can jump between apps faster than on Linux and windows.
