Some of them use bismuth, which is as weakly radioactive as it gets, but why?

- Do you think developers have any say in this?
- They have Reddit Premium for free, and most likely an internal version too.
- Comment on Phones have unique phone numbers, why dont computers have unique computer-numbers? 6 months ago:
Because
- When the internet was rolling out, a decentralized, open, best-effort solution of TCP/IP thankfully won over telephone companies’ centralized system
- IPv6 is still not universal for some damn reason
- Onion addresses solve these problems but good luck getting everyone aboard with Tor
- You always trade anonymity for reachability, and with the amount of threats, NAT and firewalls have been put up to make it harder for unsolicited requests to reach you by default

I wonder if there is a notification ad blocker with community-submittted sets of regex patterns that root users can use.
- Comment on What it takes to close Microsoft Edge (⏩ 2x) 11 months ago:
That’s exactly what Microsoft did in the 1990s after an antitrust lawsuit for hindering free browser selection: integrated Internet Explorer into Explorer to have an excuse for having it preinstalled.
The EU is taking similar steps but I tgink Edge WebView will stay essential. Removing it on a laptop broke biometrics (aka Windows Hello: fingerprint sensor and face recognition) and I had to use a restore point. Seems sketchy to use a browser engine for essential security features – at this point, I would hope I had triggered some OS tamper-detection because the alternative is an OS whose login system is infected with an unpopular browser not because it enhances security but out of spite.

Thanks. Maybe I should go buy another emotional support Blåhaj, the big one this time.

Hardship is part of life. I have more than I would like right now but that’s just how I am. Dunno, maybe should place myself preventively on suicide watch.
At least it’s a temporary, below minimum wage job so I don’t mind too much if the computer goes up in flames and I get fired. It will get wiped for the next wagie anyway.

That’s what 1990s malware does. Modern malware either shows its own ads in your face (adware) or is stealthy while it mines crypto, exfiltrates your passwords / credit card info or encrypts all personal files.
You’re like WestEnd in this thread. Don’t take ot personally, I don’t blame you for the confusion, there is a lot of misleading media about malware behavior.

B, of course, I don’t want every install to take 4 hours.
For antivirus, the company provides ESET but I also use VirusTotal and a WIP common sense engine.

Well, Task Manager nor attempting to delete the executable normally helped in my case. Power deleting Edge (including WebView) is obviously a bad idea but faster than finding whatever mistake I made that led to this behavior. I can afford to do dumb stuff because the job is temporary, and I never downloaded any malware (according to VirusTotal) that would cause further problems.

Nope, the tool is FOSS MSEdgeRedirect, very well known and praised. I think it’s purely my config mistake with no third-party wrongdoing and I will live with the consequence of Edge being slightly more annoying whenever I accidentally click it.
- Comment on What it takes to close Microsoft Edge (⏩ 2x) 11 months ago:
Well, my default browser is Firefox and
EdgeRemover(oops, misremembered the name) MSEdgeRedirect (which is FOSS of course, would not install such thing otherwise) does work, in a way – all Help pages, Start Menu searches etc. get redirected to Firefox and DuckDuckGo. I thought it would prevent Edge from opening at all. I don’t think it’s a browser hijacker. - Submitted 11 months ago to mildlyinfuriating@lemmy.world | 25 comments
