Did Google ever offer an open source client for the email?

There is Piped, which is a web version of NewPipe

No, they want to migrate from usb-based exploits, to audiojack-based ones

It has been time for that, long ago. Why did you have to wait for everything to go south?

 

I had a conversation with some sys-admins that are trying to limit what their kids can access on the internet. One was worried about how to implement a YouTube channel whitelist on his network.

So, an idea came to my mind. Wouldn't it be relatively easy to implement this using Piped's API?

Given that the kids' devices are using self-signed certificates, allowing full traffic monitoring, it should be possible to filter YouTube videos using the data provided by Piped API.

Do you guys think it's a good idea? I could start this project, if people think that it's useful.

You could theoretically host a Piped API instance, and use it to get channel info. I guess you are already using your own SSL certificates, judging by what you are trying to accomplish.

This is the Piped org btw: https://github.com/TeamPiped

It is a YouTube frontend/proxy.

Edit: I made a post on Piped's community, so we can discuss it there: https://discuss.online/post/16448014

The question is: do we want people to leave corporate services, and join the fediverse, or not? By showing such hostility towards such "crybabies" we will never get any traction.

We are facing a problem. "Crybabies" are arguing about lack of content and/or difficulty on signing up. People on Lemmy are arguing that they don't want such users in their communities. Other people, thinking of onboarding, may not join after seeing hostile users like you.

Cry all you want. Gaming performance on Linux is usually better.

The best option, I think, is to have them on separate drives (not separate partitions), and select which one to boot from UEFI.

I wish I could. However, the device belongs to the company. And sometimes we need the cameras. We used to have Thinkpads with built-in switch-like mechanism that blocks the webcam, but the newer laptops have their camera exposed.

It was an honest question. I have seen various other horrible features, like Glassdoor allowing paying employers to remove negative ratings, so I freaked out a bit in case Teams has hidden features as well.

I know this is shitpost, but since there was another indication of such feature existing (although untrustworthy - the Brave Search's AI summary), I wanted to confirm.

[–] jim3692 7 points 1 week ago

Since the answer of the AI seemed misleading, I asked here to confirm.

 

I recently learned that my company prefers closed-source tools for privacy and security.

I don't know whether the person who said that was just confused, but I am trying to come up with reasons to opt to closed-source for privacy.

This little monster chews cables. So, I ran power cords through water hoses.
