I had issues with AirPods connecting to Debian 12. It turned out to be codecs (from memory - I just remember some proprietary Apple shit) that were needed. Once they were installed it connected first time.

If yours were working and stopped connecting after an update this is unlikely to be the issue. But I thought I’d point out out just in case.

They blocked my IP Vanish VPN which is why I moved away from them to Kagi.

Given the other comments about VPN’s it sounds like it’s not consistent.

Ahh. That explains a lot. I’ll take some of it back then.

For everybody else, the comment is at https://lemmy.world/comment/7142472

Thank you.

" …the government of Korea provide ample opportunity for engagement with a range of stakeholders, including the American business community and the U.S. government,"

The responsibility of the South Korean government is to it’s people and what’s best for them. The arrogance of the US government never fails to surprise me.

If the roles were reversed, the US government wouldn’t give a shit about South Korea and would simply tell them they need to ‘comply’.

Reported, for all the good it will do.

That’s not the headline in the article.

A company includes the people working on those calls. Like the person in the article who gave out the information and I don’t blame them for this. I’m blame bad management and bad processes.

A call handler shouldn’t have to make a snap decision on handing over private data. It should all be written down for them to follow. Including passing a court order over to the legal team who, you’d hope, have the expertise to determine a good one from a bad one, or at least have a way to validate it.

I’m not being pedantic. I’m trying to ensure that the people on the end of the phone are not getting the blame for a failure of management. Which is why I made the distinction.

What on earth is a company if not management and the processes it uses?

The most important part - people.

In other words, If they have bad management and they lack proper processes to safeguard client data, are they not a bad company?!

A company encompasses the people who work there. Like the person on the end of the phone in the article. They are not responsible for bad management and bad processes. They are a victim in this having to deal with it.

I have no context on it so maybe my post was unfair.

Putting myself in the position of reaching out, I think I’d just have made the decision that it should need removed, and removed it from the kerne without reaching out. I feel that somebody who killed his wife doesn’t get to be involved in those conversations.

That purely my opinion saved I appreciate it’s likely not popular. Just being honest. I can see the other side. And I do appreciate the part about closure. That makes sense.

He killed his wife? Is this a joke?

I stopped reading there. I’m not interested in his views.

UPDATE: Nope. He did. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hans_Reiser. I’m really unsure why they reached out to him.

I’m not going to say more.

The headline is incorrect. It should be ‘Bad management and lack of proper process makes it easy for thieves to steal data’.

This is a case of bad processes, procedures, management and lack of care. It’s nothing else.

I don’t think he has. I disagree. I think he wants Linux to be Windows and that is a huge mistake.

I didn’t move to Linux because the software is so much better than on Windows. I moved to Linux because it gets out of my way, doesn’t spy on me and development is focused on making it better for me as a user and not to suit the next Skynet.

Linux allows me to be more productive and gives me functional software that does what I need it to. Sometimes it’s not pretty but I don’t care. It does the job.

If companies start taking on developing or porting their stuff to Linux, then Linux is going to end up like Windows - a shit show of corporate greed and an OS designed and focused for hoovering up users private information.

I don’t want that.

It doesn’t have to be like that. Much like the turtle and the scorpion story, companies do what is in their nature: they must keep making more and more and more to satisfy the shareholders greed and that does not align with me getting a better experience. It’s just how things are.

I personally couldn’t care less about Adobe’s software. Kdenlive is not Premiere Pro, but it does what I need it for. GIMP isn’t Photoshop, but does what I need it to. Krita or Inkscape isn’t Illustrator but I don’t use them. What astounds me is each of these are free and are incredible pieces of software.

As somebody else pointed out. If you want to use Adobe products, either use Windows as your primary OS or dual boot. It’s not hard. At all. Same for AutoCAD. Just because Windows is an either / or, for me, doesn’t mean it has to be for you. Use both.

Stop perpetuating this nonsense that YouTube is free. Google is a for profit company. It was never free. You always paid with your data. And even when you subscribe they continue to profit from your data.

Google makes a healthy profit, with or without your subscription money. They just want more. And more. And more. To satisfy the insatiable greed of shareholders.

Hopefully your passion to pay for ‘free’ services extends to your Lemmy (and other Federated services) instances. Not just monopolies like Google.

Please just fuck off.

you can make your data available to the general public and help other open source apps to build their services on this data.

I like this idea.

I know I’m being lazy, but is the data sold? Are we just giving away our data for somebody else to monetize?

That is one way to think about it that I haven’t seen mentioned before.

The self entitlement in open-source these days never fails to astound me.

I have the opposite experience.

Windows consistently gets in my way. Linux has been a breathe of fresh air and stays out of my way. It just works.

I now use Linux as my desktop at work (Debian 12) and at home (EndeavorOS).

That’s not what all your posts suggest.

You said above you don’t like that users of lemmy.world are having their posts removed and that a censored view is being shown.

Your original posts mentions the instance by name and you say over and over in multiple comments that you don’t like what the admins are doing.

So if you don’t think they meant any harm, why have you just shit all over them since you posted this.

You come across as a self entitled douche who wants to tell people what to do with their instances because you’re unhappy about a single post being removed. In comment after comment.

How about you ask the admins what happened here and determine if there’s an actual problem rather than shitting on them in public? That would be the right and respectful thing to do.

Have you spoken to the admins at lemmy.world to get an understanding of what’s going on?
