  • Which distribution should I recommend to beginners to scare them?

  • You mean searching github with "lang:nix"?

  • hey L.W mods/admins, how's it going?

  • I mean, VHEMT is a great ideology and ever, but the dude seems to have missed the "voluntary" part.

  • We're deep into the baggy era mate

  • I propose renaming him to Ben Chapitau. Much more suitable for a clown.

  • I miss when Network Access was an authorisation you could restrict to some apps.

    Jump

  • In my case it was soundcore's app (no, openscq30 didn't work), so it had a need for network access to update the firmware, for example, I just didn't want to give it at the moment. As for being poorly made, also not exactly: as I've mentioned, android gives this permission by default, and it's reasonable to assume it stays so. Graphene basically "breaks userspace" here.

  • I miss when Network Access was an authorisation you could restrict to some apps.

    Jump

  • I remember some particular apps not liking that one. Basically it exposes the permission that's otherwise always granted, and if the developers didn't make a catch all for network errors, the app crashes. Mobile data usage → allow network access favors better in that regard.

  • Secure Boot on or off with Mint?

    Jump

  • As always, the answer is "depends". It shouldn't hurt unless you're dual-booting windows (they used it last year as a weapon in their "mess up grub" game), but, Imo, it's worth the trouble if:

    • your data is also encrypted -- otherwise one just removes the HDD/SSD and reads what they need;
    • you provision your own keys -- to not depend on Microsoft signing shims for you;
    • you delete the already provisioned keys -- Microsoft signed a few vulnerable things, like one kaspersky's (iirc) live CD with grub not locked down, so one can boot up literally anything anyway;
    • you lock down grub or whatever bootloader you're using -- otherwise you become that vulnerable live cd;
    • you password lock the uefi -- otherwise one can simply disable the secureboot;
    • your vendor's implementation isn't terribly buggy -- iirc, some MSI laptops would just ignore all the discrepancies.

    So, a lot of ifs, and a necessity to store the uefi password somewhere safe, as those may be a pita to reset.

    As for standalone stuff -- idk, it might protect you from malware injecting itself into the bootloader or something, but given there's likely no chain of trust (I.e. the bootloader doesn't check what it bootloads), it can move in on some later step.

  • Molly - the fully free/libre Signal alternative

    Jump

  • You're confusing libreness with centralization, I suppose? AFAIK, signal's serverside is technically FOSS.

  • Molly - the fully free/libre Signal alternative

    Jump

  • Not a signal alternative, but an alternative signal client, tho

  • AI will never be able to write like me.

    Jump

  • Reminded me one of the vids of f4mi, although that ladiy's approach is far more beautiful. Basically, she took advantage of ai scrapers relying on subtitles and YouTube allowing for pretty advanced styling of those very subtitles to insert garbage that only bots will see.

    To those interested in the details, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NEDFUjqA1s8 (selecting a working invidious instance is left as an exercise for the reader)

    Happy birthday, Lenin!

  • Quite simple, actually. If you want to do a thing that violates a law, you modify the law to allow the thing.

  • We want privacy but not that much

    Jump

  • Or start adding "-site:reddit.com". On the other hand, in some cases it kinda makes sense with SEO being basically "generate a wall of text on what should be one paragraph with 3.5 sentences".

  • You sure? To me some of the other options look more convenient, so to say, especially if you tend to watch stuff while away from home :)

  • Porn button might actually be runner-up to Esc.

  • Any of them. I'd just write a program that interprets a sequence of keypresses as Morse code beforehand 🤷

  • Anyway, here are terminal commands you don't understand.

  • I guess I misunderstood the meme, then: to me it looked like a jab at nerds that ignore "simpler" solutions when they themselves have a problem, rather than said nerds giving overcomplicated advice
