Heimliche Browser-Überwachung von Schulkindern? Google verklagt
Google ernte heimlich Daten von US-Schulkindern und nutze die Daten für kommerzielle Zwecke. Diesen Vorwurf erheben Eltern in einer Klage.
This is a great new feature in chromeos. #ChromeOS
Vraiment, #nixos, j'aime beaucoup.
«Reproductible, déclaratif et fiable». Le fonctionnement du gestionnaire de paquets (à lui seul, c'est déjà tiptop comme on disait à mon époque), la configuration "centralisée", le nbre de paquets dispos, pouvoir les utiliser à la volée tout en conservant un système prôpe.
Bref. Je l'ai installé sur un Chromebook en remplacement de #ChromeOS et je suis ultra convaincu. Je vote pour que ce soit mon prochain système par défaut (actuellement #archlinux ) dès que j'aurais eu le temps de bien explorer la doc et surtout, de finaliser une config évolutive suffisamment satisfaisante.

What operating systems do you use?
This includes on your PC/computer and mobile devices, or anywhere else for that matter. Select all that apply!

Can you tell us what happens on the "sandbox all the things" goal?
I think this is a pretty crucial step forward, even though #sandbox technologies (most often through user namespaces) are more problematic than I initially thought.
(Basically, user #namespaces open up #privesc dangers to the monolithic #kernel, which is incredible. #Android and #ChromeOS use #LXC, mounts and #SELinux for #sandboxing)
Don't lie, be honest with yourself and everyone else in the #fediverse, which operating system do you use?
@mcc @Infoseepage ah, makes sense. That's why I use Linux personally (for decades now). None of that AI stuff, unless you purposefully install it. IMHO Windows is great for gaming (tho many of my titles run on Linux now. Yay!), and in the enterprise of course (where I get my paycheck lol), and that's it.
Something to keep in mind, W10 hits EOL this October, so it won't be patched further after then. #APT groups will increase attacks using #0days once MSFT ceases official support exponentially.
You can still disable #Copilot in the registry of W11 24H3 (Pro and Enterprise SKUs, not Home as far as I can find). Not sure how long that will last though as #MSFT pushes hard to further integrate AI in everything they offer. At least on the Enterprise side they give us #sysadmins control over a lot of that. Consumers have much less control. It's either you embrace it, or change to a different platform.
Unfortunately (or fortunately), Linux is the only non-AI embedded OS left that I'm aware of. The next release of #macOS has #AppleIntelligence built in, #iOS 18.0 and later has it baked in, the latest release of #ChromeOS for Enterprise has #Gemini baked in, and #Android13 has #Gemini baked in on supported devices. As you know, W10 has Copilot optional with supporting hardware, W11 is baked in but can be toggled off. W12 will be a fully AI-OS.
Even still, if you're running any of the latest #IntelUltra processors, they have AI built-in at the hardware level. The new #AMDRyzen processors are doing the same.
I decided to embrace the AI evolution rather than fight it. I use my knowledge and skills to protect myself, my family, and my company as much as is possible, and keep abreast of developments in the sector...I also use AI for #cyberdefense. Only way to keep up with the threat landscape anymore.
For now, I still have control of my bubble lol, and that's about all I can do anymore, short of going completely dark. Not quite there yet lol.
Still not as cool as the now 7-year old PixelBook IMHO. No touch screen, not convertible, and off-balance 110-key keyboard.
My spur-of-the-moment Chromebook surprise

The rumored Pixel laptop running Android instead of ChromeOS is starting to make a lot more sense.

Repurposing Chromebooks: a general method.
A bit more than a year and a half ago, I bought around 10 cheap Chromebooks to better understand how they can be turned back into regular PCs. Here are the notes I took. I just wanted to remember the overall idea and not a detailed list of step-by-step instructions, as it differs from each model. Basically, I just quickly documented the installation pattern, so I can do it again next time, or teach others to do it.

Maybe this can be useful for others, who are looking for a rough TL;DR process, or are contemplating the idea to do the same and would like an overview of the different main steps.
Over the past two weeks, Ancestris, the free Java-based, #GEDCOM -based #genealogysoftware has received quite a few updates to reports, language translations, and the Aries editor

What OS are you using on a daily basis?
Anyone familiar with OpenStax?
Bumped into it because of a ChromeOS update that shoved "Gemini" in somewhere I wasn't expecting.
Super small #PSA that won’t likely impact many folks, although I feel the need to share it for transparency:
I no longer own https://www.aboutchromebooks.com. I received an unsolicited purchase offer for the site two weeks ago and since I put it on hiatus in January, decided to take the offer. The escrow funds cleared today.
I throughly enjoyed sharing #Chromebook and #ChromeOS tips, tricks, news and reviews for 8 years. If you read the site, I hope you received some value from it!

Not gonna lie, but my first impressions of Chromebooks / ChromeOS are pretty damn great!
I can't believe I've slept upon these fascinating pieces of tech.
You're mostly working with web apps and android apps and you could throw in some linux apps as well, but it doesn't feel limiting at all and the OS feels snappy and intuitive.
It also helps that it works well with Android, seeing as they're both made by Google.
Two thumbs up!
It looks like Google is bringing the Linux kernel drivers for NTFS, exFAT, and maybe other file systems to Chromebooks. #linux #chromeos
