Each popularity-contest host is identified by a random 128bit uuid (MY_HOSTID in /etc/popularity-contest.conf). This uuid is used to track submissions issued by the same host. It should be kept secret.

Oh, and by default, IP, unless usetor is enabled

A machine I’d is just a hash too

Can you explain to me how you track Mac address, serial numbers over the internet.

Just fyi, the backend project I made 20 years ago was hardware related. There’s potential reasons to grab this info…

But, if it is a concern, I’m sure they’d welcome submissions to improve the parsing and allow things to be filtered.

In fact, popcon could be used for digital fingerprinting technically

In all likelihood, op never spoke to the manjaro developers either

Don’t like it, don’t opt in

Even Debian has popcon

There are lots of benefits for developers to gather telemetry.

Don’t like that? Fork and do your own distro (presumably though you don’t contribute anything to open source, so id expect such people to simply whine and get angry at contributors)

Simple game theory

Harris: +1. Because she actually is a good person. The only people saying anything else are Republicans really . Don’t forget she used to fight for sexual assault victims and such (look at her past actions). Walz is just as good as a person

Trump: -1: no explanation needed

Anyone else: 0 points

It’s only logical to vote for Harris/Walz. Unless you actually believe trump . But, if you use the arguments Trump has used against Biden and Harris, you’ll see all of them work equally well on him. He is sleepy, he is old, and he is a criminal

That’s the same one I have, even here in Australia.

Awesome piece of kit

Hopefully we get DP over USBC soon on the m2 Mac studios

The reason people buy from steam though and develop for them though is because of their service.

Thor from pirate software mentions that even as a developer there are good reasons for them to use steam.

Even just the cloud saves and such is awesome

Theres a few people who are arguing in bad faith whose sole intention is to stop people voting to boost the right wing.

If you check a lot of them, they’re right wingers pretending temporarily to be left wing

I guarantee they’re the same ones causing issues everywhere with everything from environmental policies to helping the lower class

And let’s be blunt, they ignore absolutely everything except Israel because it’s the only argument they have left.

And it’s such a stupid hill to die on and to stop voting.

Because one candidate is causing a civil war, is a criminal, a rapist and is incredibly dangerous. He talks like a mob boss knowing the implications of his actions. One of them is stripping rights

Trump is advocating for Nazism within the US, and you have to understand it’s a huge issue that is having world wide implications. His own people know he’s dangerous.

That’s why he’s being ignored. They’re often not centrist. They are simply a single issue voter who often lean towards the right wing actually (but don’t want to say it)

Lots of people seem to be using it fine daily

Maybe you need to switch distro and check your hardware

Or if you’re getting lots of crashes, contribute code or money to get them addressed. Otherwise it’s clear your priorities aren’t straight

Not a big deal.

Wait until you find out how much ram gets wasted in caching and algorithms designed to run faster on computers or improve productivity. Even things like indexing to speed up search or icon caching

It’s a mobile phone. 13gb is lots, and I’d be curious to see the extent that ai improves productivity.

The headline is designed explicitly to bait arguments

And about 20 in perl. But the return trip is 300 years

She’s a huge bigot…

I don’t think you can categorise into right or left. I know right-wing people who are gay as an example (they’re conservative, but they’re not MAGA/Trump/nazi’s).

It’s really better to categorise as “people who want the community to be better and want everyone to be treated well”, and “people who want people to receive different treatment”.

JK Rowling is the latter. Trump is the latter too. In general though, in US and Australia, extreme right wing people seem to fit more into the latter… Minorities can also fit into either category too quite easily

Now . After they’re done , they should write one for perl and brainf**k
