Trackpoint gang!

I’m by no means an expert, but how is it the phone can still make emergency calls if it has zero contact with the network if it’s simless? Seems like a solution that isn’t actually one, especially if you consider stuff like IMIE numbers.

And I’m sure if I could be bothered to look into this solution I would be right.

Plus most tracking and privacy violations work just as well if not better via WiFi.

Sure they should be allowing it, but anyone who cares about digital privacy and freedom that’s still using apple devices kinda deserves what they get at this point.

This! Set up virt manager or Virtual Box, then you can try all the distros you want

I used brave for a while, but left as I felt there was something fishy about them. Seems I was right

As a DWM user I won’t be moving for a long time. Yes I know about DWL, but it dosnt have half the patches I use yet.

I do like the lower amount of screen tearing on Wayland, but I’ve minimised it in Xorg.

The only thing I pay for is Crunchyroll. As for me it’s worth it as I get tons of stuff the watch for £5 a month and it’s also pretty easy to rip anything exclusive. And then I don’t feel like I’m giving nothing back to Japan when I pirate anything they don’t have I want.

I also pay for a VPS, but I’d say that’s renting more then it is a subscription.

Honesty at this point I don’t really care about Linux becoming mainstream. I mean call me elitist, but I feel like if it became a major desktop operating system a lot of the development would turn to making sure it’s safe for IT illiterate people to use.

Part of why I love Linux so much is as someone who actually has a decent idea of what I’m doing I feel like the operating system leaves me alone to do what I want with my own computer.

Do you really think if everyone started using Linux you’d still be able to delete the boot loader or wipe your whole installation with one command.

Of course not! They would have to fit 10 million safety features and limit a ton of what the user can do just like Windows and MacOS.

So as much as I love Linux I think it’s best being left as an advanced power users desktop operating system.

st. Fonts look great and I’ve even been able to add a vim mode for scrollback including selecting and copying text.

If I need something fast( usually on a new system) that’s in most distros repos and automatically installs all it’s dependencies( and doesn’t have to many like gnome terminal and konsole) I tend to use sakura, though xfce terminal is also pretty good.

Don’t you mean coreboot, as the point of Libreboot is that it’s a coreboot distro that’s as open and libre as possible

Could it be that the manjaro repos have older versions of the HIP runtimes then what blender 4.0 is built for? Just a thought. Either way I would report it to the blender devs so they can fix it if it’s a bug

• removes and mostly disables firmware level spyware
• runs spyware OS

Nitrokey would probably be my choice as both the hardware and software are open source( in fact you could probably build your own if you wanted to). I don’t trust yubikey as the firmware that runs on them is closed source so you just don’t know of it’s actually secure.

Why don’t you get a shark vacuum cleaner. Honesty those make vacuuming kinda fun( it even has headlights!). You can stick some headphones on, listen to some music you like, and you even get some exercise! And you can still vacuum when the WiFi goes out!

Now if you’re disabled or something I understand the need for a robot, but otherwise you could save a ton of money, get exercise, and have zero privacy concerns.

It looks like a cool distro if you want/need a highly configurable package manager that makes your system easily reproducible.

But if you’re just looking to learn more about Linux and learn more about how your system is set up then your average distro you might just want to go with Arch, Void, or Gentoo.

Wait so it’s not just that my vps only has 1gb of ram?

You guys with more ram still get crashes?

You could start with using dark reader

Matrix client

• iamb a CLI matrix client with a vim like interface

Bookmark manager

• BMKS works with or without dmenu and or fzf

Password manager

• Pass the standard Unix password manager

File managers

• lf like ranger but faster and written in go.
• vifm another terminal file manager with vim style key bindings

I wouldn’t call mint old. It has

• Massive repos and tons of 3rd party ones
• A reasonably modern desktop environment( if you don’t like it get a theme pack, or are you to lazy to install a theme.)
• Stability which most new users will value a lot, as I’m sure they don’t want to learn exactly how Linux works on day 1.
• Everything just works out the box on reasonably well supported hardware( aka the manufacturer gives a dam about Linux users or it’s a thinkpad)

So I don’t see how mint is a boomer OS because unless you’re a dev or an enthusiast it has everything you need

I don’t know if Lemmy can do it yet, but I remember Reddit and also Facebook( I think) lets you set a minimum account age to post in a community. So we might want to get our mods to do that.
