Eight Automakers Grilled by US Lawmakers Over Sharing of Connected Car Data With Police https://news.slashdot.org/story/24/05/18/0414236/eight-automakers-grilled-by-us-lawmakers-over-sharing-of-connected-car-data-with-police?utm_source=rss1.0mainlinkanon

I heard some comments from #Linux #tech YouTubers lately that building #Debian packages was hard, so here's my take.

1) Create a directory laid out how you want the installed files to look. This structure will get mirrored to the system upon install.
2) In the staging folder create a DEBIAN folder with, at minimum, a "control" file in it with fields like app version and such.
3) Run "dpkg-deb --build FOO" where FOO is the name of your staging folder.

Done. Screenshots with captions attached.

Tell us in the comments below! 🐧 😄

I know switching URLs for a service this big would be a big challenge because everything from user bookmarks to internal API calls are all written for that old domain, but they finally finished the transition.

Firefox data collection, France bans TikTok (sort of), Google AI is scary
Firefox adds data collection, France banned TikTok in one of its territories, Google AI is still absolutely creepy, the Kernel 6.9 is out, and a lot more in this week's episode!

How to tell your OSS is ridiculously popular: people aren't 100% sure they _didn't_ embed it, and tack on the software equivalent of "packaged in a facility where peanuts were also present" to the license list.

This watch contains software, so statistically probably contains at least traces of curl.

#Kid3 is the most enjoyable #mp3 audio tagger I've ever used. Period. 😉 I really love it! Kudos to the contributors and the @kde team! 👌

Quick update. I found a solution. I couldn't rebuild the initramfs for one kernel, but I was able to rebuild it for all kernels with the following command in rescue mode:

# 𝚍𝚛𝚊𝚌𝚞𝚝 --𝚛𝚎𝚐𝚎𝚗𝚎𝚛𝚊𝚝𝚎-𝚊𝚕𝚕 --𝚏𝚘𝚛𝚌𝚎

After that I was able to log in to my machine with no issues and no data loss.

I just want to note that this site is amazing. https://distrosea.com/

It lets you test dozens of different Linux distros online from your web browser. I use it a lot to see if a distro with a new release got rid of something annoying or not.

If you've never used a Linux variety before, this is your chance to see if a FOSS environment would suit you. Ditch Windows -- it spies on you, collects your data, sells it, and charges you for the privilege. Ditch MacOS -- it is closed and getting more closed every day, the walls are closing in, the area in which you reside is shrinking, it's going to crush you oh dear it's here the wallls areeeee
