For me it would have to be the cross compatibility for the most part, but that has also caused some headeaches as well. I actually started using it because kde kinda has baked in support for it making it super easy to create shares.

Purchasing my first home, apparently all info regarding the sale is public information. Companies scrape or buy this data and then spam your mailbox with various extra services. In my case, it was mortgage premium insurance or something like that. Anyways, the letter I received in the mail went something like this: "You forgot something important regarding your home purchase". I don't remember the exact words, but it was something like that.

I'm a first time home buyer and I am trying to stay on top of things. Of course, because they are able to get all the information regarding the sale. It looks legit, they have my name, address, loan number, loan amount, the bank serving the loan and everything. I call to make sure everything is alright and fortunately they didn't answer. I took the extra time to look up what mortgage premium insurance even was and that is how I came across the fact that it may be a scam.

Anyways, they call me back eventually and by this time I am on to them. I ask some questions regarding their company and the entire time they keep repeating the name of the bank that is serving my loan, but refuse to give me the name of their company. After a bit more back and forth they finally let it slip that they are from some unrelated insurance company to which I decline their offer. I wanted to curse them out, but I just wasn't raised that way.

Edit: A lot of people don't take online privacy seriously. Usually going whats the harm. I was never really comfortable with it to the point of apathy, but I was a bit lax at times. This experience made me find out first hand what the harm of everyone having access to your data is.

I keep hearing people say that, but I paid thousands of dollars for my TV to still have ads. The days of if you don't pay for the product then you are the product is dead. You will pay for it and still be the product regardless of cost.

So as it turns out, if you give people a choice. Some of them will pick something else.

Press X to doubt.

Office 365 asking for permissions to change browser settings ( lemmy.world )

I have to use certain Microsoft apps for work, so I strictly only use the web versions as I am on Linux. However, just seen this setting pop up in Word while working on a document. I wonder what in specific they would change, considering i am on Firefox. Does anyone know anything about this? Is there an actual good reason for me...

Bruh, Mozart's whole ass name was cool as hell. Not just his last name. This man wins hands down.

Thanks for the history lesson. Honestly every one of those different names and translations is pretty good too.

That's super interesting stuff. Cool to see what is going on under the hood with Qt's wayland support and how the KDE folks are solving these issues.

If you are dual booting, then disable fast boot in the bios to keep windows from locking various devices.
