I mean technically so are repos to some extent. Many of them have very few maintainers and you are basically just blindly trusting that they won’t both miss anything malicious nor be the cause of it.

A little safer but not some ultimate Bastion of safety

The problem is that by the time I have said that to them it’s already to desktop. I cursed Myself by having an operating system that is fast and efficient and I also did not install 18 different applications that open at boot. So now I just feel left out from the group not waiting for my computer to finish booting :(

Anyone who genuinely thought that privacy was going to be perfect was an idiot. But they’re going to be better than Gmail and they are. The only way to achieve any type of true privacy would be to start up your own Data Center , run your own email , and then be the one that’s dealing with the government knocking on your door. Have fun with that.

Put frankly privacy on the internet does not exist and anyone that thinks it’s achievable on the modern internet is honestly an idiot. We can only select the least shitty option there is no good option. And the problem is even that is a moving Target I’m not going to keep changing my email provider every couple years to whatever the new current popular privacy option is.

Downloading the torrent so i can seed it on 2.5Gb fiber

Yes but that doesn’t mean it’s a far left topic. This is the problem in politics nobody has the ability to understand that even an individual political system is an entire political Spectrum onto its own. Be it right or left.

Oh damn that’s unfortunate, wake me up when it’s a real product

Pivoted off a cliff with swift lmao.

I’ve unfortunately gotten tired of ironfox, some of the crap they change for “privacy” (doesn’t exist on the internet and all attempts to block things actually make you MORE identifiable) just break too many websites. After the like 30th time having to switch to nightly to make something work i just said fuck it.

They really need to be more careful about actual functionality if they want to take over as the main version of ff. Don’t get me wrong I use ublock origin, decentraleyes, clearURLs etc. But i use them for performance not privacy, blocking all the bullshit sites load to eat my battery. They work without constantly breaking basic sites unlike whatever ironfox does

Then your an absolute moron. This should be praised, they could have said fuck linux entirely but instead they said “hey native is costing us too much time, so instead we will just work on making sure our windows code is proton compatible”

That should be the goal, tired of worthless native purist assholes pushing developers away from Linux entirely by being little bitches about it. Game working is game working if proton is the easier path for the developer then cheer them on.

I use ctrl+r to the point that for some shorter commands i probably waste more time using it vs just typing it normally

I mean can you really blame people? The developers have kind of gone out of their way to try and piss off literally everyone. And any attempt at criticism is called bullying and shut down

I have like five libraries, I went ahead and just tried to add another one to see if it was a regression and unfortunately I can’t reproduce. Then again I’ve always been a KDE Arch user I don’t know if that has anything to do with it maybe I just missed this bug

Yes, literally all of them are a joke. Thankfully Lenovo now offers linux

Nah just enable and enforce apparmor, use bubblewrap for the browser or unknown sources. Clamav is mostly useful for ingress detection on like email or ftp servers

I think the missing key there is the independent statically built binary for apt that does not depend on pretty much any part of the base system actually functioning. That’s what I couldn’t find, is there one and I just suck at Google?

pacman is the best and I’ll stubbornly refuse to entertain any other opinion. It’s in my experience the least likely to just randomly rip the system to shreds. I don’t know if it has more through prechecks or what bit I’ve had debian and Fedora (apt and dnf) rip the system asunder trying to jump multiple major versions in an update of a system that hadn’t been online in a long time.

I don’t care if jumping multiple releases at once “isn’t supported” it shouldn’t be that frail and arch will happily update something many years behind as long as you update the keyring.

Even in the event your system somehow does get hosed you can fix almost everything by just chrooting in, grabbing the static pacman binary, and running “pacman -Qqn | pacman -S -” I’ve recovered systems that had the entire /bin wiped (lol oops moment with a script) and as far as i know apt and dnf have no equivalent easy redo all.

It does! It’s worthless! (งツ)ว

It’s not just you, there’s been a lot of threads on let me talking about it but the problem with Mastodon is the fact that there is no content recommendation algorithm. You basically just get shown stuff from your local instance and maybe stuff it’s Federated with. Which is pretty much guaranteed to be a bunch of useless garbage nobody is interested in and random cat pictures.

Bluesky is not perfect, but it’s better than X and i can actually find content i want. I’ve tried so many times to Mastodon and it’s just not worth it. Finding content is a huge effort and i don’t want to put that effort in.

Blue Sky learned very quickly that I’m interested in artists content and now when I open it I find at least one new artist to follow each day so I can just open it scroll through the people I’m following look at the Discover tab to find a new one whose art I like and feel better that’s just not going to happen on Mastodon

Already mentioned and ruled out unfortunately, unless you can find some documentation we couldn’t
