Does... does Harris meet your criterion?

If I could give you some kind of prize I would. Have a meaningless pixel trophy instead, and an upvote: ๐Ÿ†

Awesome! Linux Mint's welcome page should have given you directions to setting up the built in firewall. If you really want an antivirus, ClamAV is a good one for Linux. However, whether you need one on Linux is actually a complicated question: https://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?t=358408

Really depends on your use case, at the end of the day. Good luck, and let us know if you have any questions!

It turns out Google Chrome (via Chromium) includes a default extension which makes extra services available to code running on the *.google.com domains - tweeted about today by Luca Casonato, but the code has been there in the public repo since October 2013 as far as I can tell.

It looks like it's a way to let Google Hangouts (or presumably its modern predecessors) get additional information from the browser, including the current load on the user's CPU. Update: On Hacker News a Googler confirms that the Google Meet "troubleshooting" feature uses this to review CPU utilization

The code doesn't do anything on non-Google domains.

Maybe it's because you tried it on a non Google site? Idk.

Were you ever able to figure this out?

[โ€“] wanderingmagus@lemm.ee 3 points 3 months ago (3 children)

It's apparently built into chromium

Well, much as I am reluctant to put on the jackboots, I suppose I'll have to do so when your prediction comes true. No hard feelings when we get to your place in line?

Or just order the assassination of Trump and anyone that supports him without trial, in the name of "national security". Immunity, official act, etc. See how fast the justices rescind their ruling.

Of course I am. But given the choice between creeping fascism and immediate fascism, which realistically is the only choice this election, I'll choose the one that still has options, however few, for at least a few more years, if only so other people have a chance to get out while they can or make preparations.

You do realize that if the USA goes to shit, the rest of the world will also go? Not because the USA went to shit, but because the shit-in-chief will be bound and determined to bring said shit to the rest of the world and cram it down y'all's throats while shaking hands with Putin and Kim? He already talked about withdrawing from NATO and telling Putin he has carte blanche to just roll over Europe, and don't be surprised if a few lobbyists in the military-industrial complex convince him that taking a second look at colonization of the Global South for their minerals might just be a good idea while he's at it.
