That feature is not enabled by default. When you install Debian, you have to specifically select that you *want* to enable that particular functionality.
SSH with X11 forwarding isn't what many people consider top priority. The majority most likely go either full headless or full desktop. Everything in-between is likely to be an ad hoc solution to a problem that needs to be either headless or have proper remote desktop capabilities.
But nobody was talking about dropping the capability, that's plain stupid. Even though I use floppy disks only approximately once every two years and I don't regard it as a top priority feature, it doesn't mean I want the support for floppies dropped. However, it also doesn't mean it should be used e.g. as a data backup solution in a production environment.
X11 forwarding as a good-to-have option and as a doing-something-wrong method can exist at the same time. They're not mutually exclusive.
It's mostly in reference to "top priority" and "majority". There are some niche use cases of course, but in general it's only useful for some random ad hoc stuff.
You obviously lack the ability to make contextual connections. Manga imagery is a widely discussed topic because it brings up some important points about the Western judicial system. It's a philosophical question above all, and the premise behind the conviction can be applied to other fictitious depictions of crime too.
I know you're not being dead-serious and you just like to harass individual posters, but I also know that ultra-literate people like you exist in real life too. And that is the problem in our society today. People want to understand everything wrong and it's become a competition about who's the most offended. You can't make a talk about "sensitive issues" without explicitly distancing your personal stance using strong adjectives to condemn the very thing you're talking about so that your views are in line with the majority of people.
I've seen a couple of things that I consider to be weird, but I do not judge people based on that, since it's none of my business.
This is why I've helped configure all the browsers my friends and family use to be very privacy-oriented, I absolutely don't want to see their bookmarked porn collection when I have to fix their computers every now and then.:-)
When I did helpdesking years back I remember the awkwardness our team had to go through all the time. I wish people didn't use their work computers for porn because sometimes it puts the IT department into an uncomfortable position where they may stumble upon suspicious material and have to make decisions about what to do about it.
Telemetry functions become malware at the point when even if you disable them they stay operational. It has then effectively become malicious software because it deceives the user. Many big tech companies still do this even if you explicitly say no. This worries me.
It's going to be a Via Dolorosa for you guys. SourceForge got properly Volkswagen'd by Dice and it's even blocked by uBlock by default. If, however, you are truly going to try to purge SF from all its evil, please consider streamlining the UI while at it. It's a mess at its current state.
I think, considering the context, he meant the law enforcement can forcefully make you give your fingerprints. Which they, of course, can and have been able to do for pretty much as long as fingerprints have been utilized in criminal forensics.
Like the HTML5 video tag, that was supposed to free us from evil Flash, but just brought forth the unblockable autoplaying autoloading multimegabyte video ad
Just like there are built-in options and extensions for browsers that give you the possibility to selectively allow Flash, there are similar tools for HTML5. With open source browsers the only limit is your imagination.
Pretty much this. I wonder when big sites start realizing that by default they actually *can* show ads even to people that use ad blocking extensions. All they have to do is host the material themselves and place it within the normal content.
There's been quite a few big sites doing bold moves such as this. I wonder if these sites fighting ad blockers will eventually have to submit to the same fate some German publishers suffered when fighting against their news articles being listed in Google: they lost 80% of their traffic just like that.
Dedicated (lease) servers go a long way even if you keep idling most of the available capacity. I think the main difference between cloud and dedicated servers is usability. Cloud is easy to use (albeit sometimes a bit *too* easy) and it's also very easy to go scale in every direction. However, a small team of knowledgeable software engineers could easily go for dedicated servers instead and save a lot of money while also making it equally scalable.
I still tend to prefer dedicated over cloud for everything else except massive backups. Backups can be GPG'd on the fly and that pretty much takes care of all the security concerns we have today regarding cloud usage in this use case. All the execs I've talked to also like the predictability we have in our budgeting. I've had the pleasure to work with some great men and women and we've always had a clear vision about the hardware requirements our solutions need now and in the future, which in turn lets us cast budgeting predictions a long way into the future.
Harassment includes, but is not limited to: [...] simulated physical contact (eg, textual descriptions like “hug” or “backrub”) without consent or after a request to stop
You know, "acceptable ads" is a gateway drug. One thing leads to the next and soon it is going to be used as groundwork for laws banning ad blocking that doesn't adhere to the "acceptable ads" policies established together with the advertisement industry.

I don't believe you're even a human any more. In fact, I'd go as far as to say you're something akin to 791.

I think you accidentally ticked that "Post Anonymously" box.
KVM switch is cheaper than flying. Any respectable datacenter has them.

If you need to use X sessions over LAN (let alone WAN...), you're doing something wrong.
Just get a long-ass cord and this.
I don't trust anyone in IT who doesn't start counting from 0. :-)
I think you have one duplicate there. I don't trust your data to be correct.

I have to admit I actually laughed irl. *hug*
