  • What does Ublock Origin do with cookies?

    Jump

  • I did check that out and their web page. It says

    When it's needed for the website to work properly, it will automatically accept the cookie policy for you (sometimes it will accept all and sometimes only necessary cookie categories, depending on what's easier to do)

    So maybe I'll test it alongside Ublock.

    As far as laws go, I'm in the UK and AFIAK privacy laws are still the same as before we left the EU. Other countries such as the US seem to have less strict laws (apart from the CCPA) which means a lot of US news sites I visit will geoblock me as they don't want to comply with EU standards.

  • basic UI programming in linux

    Jump

  • I class myself as having similar experience to your friend having used Power Basic and Turbo Pascal mainly under DOS. I was able to use tkinter to produce some simple gui front-ends to produce dialogue boxes, process data and feed it to GnuPlot.

  • The Best way to switch to Linux is to NOT

    Jump

  • Is it people that want to switch away from Windows or switch to Linux?

    In my case it was the former, having spent a lot of time on FreeBSD so in 2007 I bought a Macbook Pro running OSX 10.3. This gave me most of what I wanted and when I needed something Windows (XP) specific I installed a VM running under Parallels, then Virtual Box. I was able to run most of the open source software at that time such as Open Office, Firefox, Thunderbird in preference to the removed supplied apps.

  • I hate it when someone sends me a PDF form and tells me I can complete it using Acrobat (or whatever it's called this week). Last one I successfully completed with the Firefox PDF ed.

  • I watched the movie "Enemy of the State" the other day. It was released in 1998, but it was a true prediction of the future.

  • What vm software you use on linux

    Jump

  • They run a full distro rather than the minimalist that Docker containers use. You can also use them to run gui apps but that needs a bit more work to configure. I run Google Chrome sandboxed this way.

  • What vm software you use on linux

    Jump

  • If I'm running another Linux distro that will be happy under the host kernel then I use LXD (or Incus) containers. Otherwise it's QEMU+KVM or occasionally Virtual Box.

  • Does it matter what front end it uses if the underlying environment is QEMU+KVM. Upvote for tha above.

  • What's a good open source IMAP client for android?

    Jump

  • Good for privacy, IIRC the default is not to load any images/trackers in emails. Mine currently handles three imap accounts inc. a M$ one.

  • +1 for Organic Maps. Just back from a road trip, used OSM via a browser, this is much better.
