NetEase Games has reportedly laid off the entire Seattle-based studio working on the game.

A complaint I've had for a while is that the Proton Mail bridge auto starts with the ProtonMail Bridge configuration window open. If you're like me, everytime you restart your computer, Proton Mail Bridge jumps up in your face and you immediately close it.

TIL (today I learned), there's a flag you can pass on the command line "--no-window" that starts the app without opening a window.

If you edit your system startup entry (this varies by operating system) and add this flag to its command line arguments, Proton Mail Bridge will still start, however, it will start to the tray and no window will appear.

As an example on KDE Linux:

1. Search for "Autostart"
2. Press the "See Properties" button on the Proton Mail Bridge Autostart entry
3. Go to the "Application" tab
4. Add "--no-window" to the "Arguments" text box (it should be an empty text box, if it's not make sure there's a space between any existing arguments, e.g., "--foo" -> "--foo --no-window" not "--foo" -> "--foo--no-window")
5. Press "OK" and the next time you reboot your computer, Proton Mail should auto start in the background to the tray.

Today we are announcing a new privacy feature coming to Kagi Search. Privacy Pass is an authentication protocol first introduced by Davidson and recently standardized by the IETF as RFCs. At the same time, we are announcing the immediate availability of Kagi’s Tor onion service.

In general terms, Privacy Pass allows “Clients” (generally users) to authenticate to “Servers” (like Kagi) in such a way that while the Server can verify that the connecting Client has the right to access its services, it cannot determine which of its rightful Clients is actually connecting. This is particularly useful in the context of a privacy-respecting paid search engine, where the Server wants to ensure that the Client can access the services, and the Client seeks strong guarantees that, for example, the searches are not associated with them.

So, I'm trying to clone an SSD to an NVME drive and I'm bumping into this "dev-disk-by" error when I boot from the NVME (the SSD is unplugged).

I can't find anyone talking about this in this context. It seems like what I've done here should be fine and should work, but there's clearly something I and the arch wiki are missing.

Hi folks, what sorts of things have you been doing on destiny lately? What are you finding fun?

I thought the new campaign was good, but I'm increasingly finding it difficult to put time into Destiny post campaign. The gunplay is still great but ... the game has felt repetitive and little frustrations like ambiguity about how you get the new exotic class items just really are getting on my nerves. I spent probably 4 hours today redoing the same overthrow and feeling to get the wizards to spawn.

I don't mean for this to be a negative post, but yeah; what do you enjoy about Destiny the most in 2024? Anyone here having similar feelings about the game?

The times dives into an intelligence report on how TikTok's political algorithm anomalies align with the CCP's Geostrategic Objectives https://networkcontagion.us/wp-content/uploads/A-Tik-Tok-ing-Timebomb_12.21.23.pdf

This report highlights major differences in the prevalence of hashtags related to subjects like Hong Kong Protests, Tainanmen Square, Tibet, the South China Sea, Taiwan, Uyghurs, Pro-Ukraine, and Pro-Isreal when compared to other major social media platforms.

Additionally the times cited a Wall Street Journal analysis (https://www.wsj.com/tech/tiktok-israel-gaza-hamas-war-a5dfa0ee) which "found evidence that TikTok was promoting extreme content, especially against Israel. (China has generally sided with Hamas.)"
