@itsfoss My favourite ways to remove Windows:

HDD
hdparm --user-master u --security-set-pass Password /dev/X

time hdparm --user-master u --security-erase Password /dev/X

NVMe
nvme format /dev/nvmeX -s 2 -n 0xffffffff

Sorry to "rain on your parade", but I would say those are washing powders.
I am not saying I know each and every washing powder there is, but it would be really hard to apply those on your windows.😉

Unix is often called the “father of operating systems” because it pioneered many fundamental concepts that became foundational for modern operating systems. Developed in the late 1960s and early 1970s at AT&T's Bell Labs, Unix introduced innovations that shaped the future of OS design.

@itsfoss kinda hilarious that the price was for "enhancing american leadership in the information age" instead of, you know, shaping the world we're living now.

Happy Birthday Vim

@itsfoss@mastodon.social I was never a vim user, but I recognize many developers use it. Happy Birthday, Vim.

@itsfoss Oh no, not another kindergarten war...

I'm already annoyed of Proton and Tuta fighting 🙄

@itsfoss On that privacy tests website, few entire sections that are shown red for Firefox, would turn green with uBlock Origin with privacy/anti-tracking filters selected.

I'm also surprised by ECH being marked as not supported. It should be on by default since Firefox 119.

Funny. Why don't test Ff and Brave yourself?

There:
browseraudit.com
coveryourtracks.eff.org
deviceinfo.me
browserleaks.com
...

Brave browser is, by default, better than Ff for privacy protection including fingerprint resistance...

With Ff there is a lot of job to reach the same level. This for example:

Have a nice day

@itsfoss Even if there is some people not guilty in there, i'm surprised it have taken this time to be done.

And for those against it don't forget that they are (US for linux and finish for linus) meaning if they don't comply they risk much more than a lawsuit.

@itsfoss #factorio is a great game and supports Linux from the very beginning.

But not only that, it can even use system features not available on Windows, for example non-blocking autosave in background by using fork().

@itsfoss fun fact: tom doesnt actually try to catch jerry most of the time, they're buddies. He just pretends to do so, therefore he wont get kicked out.

@itsfoss "Ubuntu rose to popularity because it made Linux simpler for the end user. 'Linux for human beings' was its motto. I don't see this motto mentioned anywhere now. I wonder if that too is deliberate."
