Have you finished the process of accounts deletion or data removal? How long did it take?

Was it tiresome going through every "data protection officer" mail of companies while requesting for data removal?

How have you monitored the progress and checked if they removed your data?

Are you strict with new account creations nowadays?

 
  • Valve has opened up Team Fortress 2's full client and source code, encouraging players to 'change, extend, or rewrite' the game in any way they like.
  • However, all mods must be released for free.
  • Team Fortress 2 is nearing its 20th anniversary, with the class-based first-person shooter first released in 2007.-

Harnessed to a large windsurfing sail, I found myself caught between the sail and the water in light rain, close to a reedy shore, out of nowhere.

Having multiple Steam libraries imports avaiable would be cool. Also check for duplicates could be useful.

 

Changing the interface theme in settings doesn't change the bars. For example if I want to go "darkly-pureblack" I keep seeing the rgb bars. How to make it consistent for these elements?

Brainless GPT coding is becoming a new norm on uni.

Even if I get the code via Chat GPT I try to understand what it does. How you gonna maintain these hundreds of lines if you dont know how does it work?

Not to mention, you won't cheat out your way on recruitment meeting.

Don't expect corporations to join the DEI movement because they care about minorities. They do it for the money. When the wind of change arrives, some people might be surprised by how quickly and completely corps change their minds

 

You know that rule "shut down all screens" 1 hour before sleep, but there's always something to watch/to program etc. Have you found the discipline to do it regularly?

How do you deal with the going-out in the evening, if you strive to wake up at that time?

Do you have some interesting/intense routine like running, which was quite common in american movies?

Regarding mobile phone choice you could always go all the way and get dumb phone. :D

 

I have degoogled my phone few years ago it really hit me how much the phones depend on Google services. Few examples from of my daily usage when I compromised:

  1. Communication

I'm in students group, people there have own group chat on facebook messenger. They share info regarding tests, deadlines etc. Basically standard uni messaging. Unless I had fake Facebook account to be there I would have to collect all info by myself. The alternative is a discord server, which in privacy terms is questionable choice too.

At least I have few friends who use Signal or Element, but it's minority.

What do you usually use and offer when people ask you for contact?

  1. Banking app

Banking app I used has blocked me from app after few years of using it when they realized I have it from "unofficial" source - Aurora store. That motivated to switch the bank and app, which doesn't really on Google Play services. The easiest way to do that was browsing Huawei app store and finding the most suitable app. Do you use baking apps?

  1. Taxi/Transport

Of course theres no way to use Bolt/Uber for transport on degoogled device. What's your way of transport after having few beers in pub? Do you use taxi via calling it directly or use that weird Telegram taxi addon?

  1. Map directions

Is there a way to convert google map pins to open source solutions and vice versa? What's your recommended software for directions? What do you use for driving?

  1. Fitness

Do you track fitness activities?

  1. Phone

Do you have good phone recommendations? I know that GrapheneOS+Pixel is one, but what about others?

Do you think Lemmy should act like Meta, which banned Pixelfed links and Mastodon instances?

 

This post is a follow up to Breaking "DRM" in Polish trains [video] – 37c3 presentation

Description

You've probably already heard the story: we got contracted to analyze a bunch of trains breaking down after being serviced by independent workshops. We reverse engineered them and found code which simulated failures when they detected servicing attempts. We presented our findings at 37C3… and then shit hit the fan.

This talk will be an update about what happened since our 37C3 presentation. We’ll talk about:

  • Three parliamentary workgroup sessions with dirty bathroom photos on Newag’s offtopic slides, train operators revealing that they paid Newag more than 20k EUR for unlocking a single train, which Newag was able to unlock in 10 minutes, and at the same time saying that they don’t know anything about the locks.
  • 140-page lawsuits, accusing us of copyright violation and unfair competition (sic!) with a lot of logical gymnastics.
  • How it’s like to repeatedly explain reverse engineering concepts to journalists.
  • 6 official investigations, two of them criminal.
  • New cases revealed since then (from different train operators).
  • and much more!
