That’s called “ retaliation” and Apple would have to be pretty fucking stupid to do that to the prosecutors at any point, let alone in the middle of a dep.

It is essential to stop using Chrome. Under the pretense of saving users from third-party spyware, Google is creating an ecosystem in which Chrome itself is the spyware. by dtrain in c/technology@lemmy.world

Yeah…I’m gonna say you have something that isn’t playing well with Firefox. Extensions, hardware…. I’ve been using Firefox for years now across multiple OS’s and hardware and I’ve never had anything like this happen to me

In an effort to relieve her PC of constantly deluge of virus and malware, I switched my Mom over to Ubuntu in the 2000’s. She lasted a month.

The experiment ended when she called me in tears because of her silent 4 week struggle with the OS.

She couldn’t get her scanner to work reliably, and none of her “print shop” software was compatible.

I know more now than I did then, and the distros have come a long way since, but I don’t have the time to retrain her and at 70 years old, I just want her to use what she’s comfortable with, even if that means I have to occasionally scrub her PC.

Best practices in mounting NAS shares? (lemmy.world)

What are some best practices in mounting NAS shares that you all follow?

Currently I am mounting using fstab to my user’s home directory with full rwx permissions, but that feels wrong.

I’ve read to use the mnt directory or the media directory but opinions differ.

My main concern is I want to protect against inadvertently deleting the contents of the NAS with an errant rm command. And yes I have backups of my NAS too.

Edit: this is a home NAS with 1 user on this Linux PC (the other clients being windows and Mac systems)

Would love to hear everyone’s philosophy! Thanks!
