Unless they decided to nuke all the arable land instead, lower upfront deaths, but the long term famine will get everyone.

Realistically, nuclear war is the end of everyone, its called MAD for a reason.

So instead of the girl tying their hair back, your foreplay is to pull on some kneepads? Hot.

This is a bit of a "how long is a piece of string" question, security is multifaceted.

From what I understand, it uses your phones kernel, so if its out of date or vulnerable, that might be a problem, and you may not be able to fix that.

Conversely, its running inside android, so the android hardening might make it more secure.

What are you specifically concerned about? Firewall? Zero days? Antimalware?

Still a bit open ended. Web browser finger printing is probably going to be quite specific, unless you have a browser that avoids fingerprinting.

There is a trust issue, you need to trust the userland packagers to not build in any additional tracking, but its pretty unlikely that they'll do that given its a tiny project.

Privacy is also multifaceted, and its never going to be as simple as "use this distro". The techniques for online tracking are changing and evolving all the time.

Thems fighting words, where else can I spend my centerlink on a bintang singlet?!

I think its better to think of it like a president or prime minister. He might set the plan and direction and making the big decisions, but there are thousands of others supporting and making the plan actually happen.

In the past he has delegated the release to others as well.

So if the worst would happen, the linux project would continue operating fairly seamlessly.

Remember that in online spaces (and IRL in reality), there are astro-turf/sock puppet accounts that will make claims to sway public opinions.

That kinda sounds reasonable. Especially if it can prevent someone going down that rabbithole? Good job PH.

Its only a genocide if it comes from the third reich. Anything else is just sparkling ethnic cleansing.

Im not a lawyer, but is this really good news? Isnt this just setting a precedent that Nintendo can shake down any emulator developer for ~2.4m any time they feel like it? So small developers are basically screwed?

The fact is that we can’t rely on any single website to hold the whole world’s knowledge, because it can be corrupted sooner or later. The only solution is a distributed architecture, with many smaller websites connecting with each other and sharing information. This is where ActivityPub comes in, the protocol used by Mastodon, Lemmy, Peertube and many other federated social media projects.

Thank god Lemmy has no malicious users/bad actors/spam issues...

Interesting idea anyway. I would be a bit more worried that when important information is siloed onto instances, each instance becomes a point of failure, and thus can be corrupted or lost.

Good luck :)

I knew the trans agenda was to get rid of bridges. Wakeup sheeple!!!2!!?

Some might be paid actors, but i bet a lot are just brain rotted morons.

Lol, if we start excluding tech based on the inventors mental illnesses we are gonna end up bashing rocks together to make fire.

Edit: To be clear, I am not saying that being trans is a mental illness, only refuting that mental illness is not a reason to discard ones contributions. Apologies for any offence.

Give google a break, its hard for them to keep track of what message backend is in which app. They have created and killed 5 messaging apps in the time I wrote out this comment, how can you expect them to know whats going on?

So, advertising the things I have already bought? Not sure thats gonna be super successful...

8gb in a "pro" machine is rediculous. And the 8gb == 16gb thing was always rubbish.

This seems wildly out of touch. Yes, things are getting better and more user friendly, but its definitely not "best for most people".

Until i can give a laptop with linux to my neighbour without also needing to also provide support, its not there yet.

Edit: removed unintended agism. Technical ability is not linked to age, i should know better.

If he bends over the donuts will fall off

PH had a pretty big problem with CSAM a few years ago, they ended up wiping ~2/3rds of their user submitted content to try fix it. (Note, they wiped all non-verified user submitted videos, not all of it was CSAM).

And im guessing they are trying to catch users who are trending towards questionable material. "College"✅ -> "Teen"⚠️ -> "Young Teen"⚠️⚠️⚠️ -> "CSAM"🚔 etc.

Big reporters/Testers deserve some props as well. Testing the code on a variety of different situations is how software gets stable, and I can't do that myself. And properly and concisely describing a bug or glitch is usually the key to getting it resolved quickly.

She was sustained by eating babies, its an unfair advantage

As soon as I work out that my nurse is not a real person, im ending the communication. I am not paying a GPU for healthcare.

I wrote a period app for my partner, everything is encrypted and never leaves the device.

It has a option where you can set false passwords, so that if you are being compelled to unlock it, it will get up fake data.

Code is open source: https://github.com/cameroncros/PrivatePeriodTracker

It may not meet your needs, but perhaps worth a look. I am open to adding features (except for ads and tracking obviously).

(I have posted this before, but with an inappropriate account)

Sure, sure, but did he have cat in his system?!? Checkmate atheists!1!

Scrub daddy owns scrub mommy. Clearly they need scrub feminism, so she can be her own scrub woman

Bizarrely, they have accidentally implemented an actual pro life policy

We get drug spam and stock spam, no reason to expect that political spam is any less likely.

Lemmy has a huge amount of hardcore lefty's. If you can get them to not vote, and especially if you can get them to tell their friends not to vote, that is a big win.

Astroturfing/sockpuppeting is dirty cheap to do, so no reason not to try.

You do see some users here that will post continously on about a certain topic repeatedly, with no other opinions. They might be legit, but I have my suspicions.

Russians can still contribute, they just can't be direct maintainers.

Nothing will likely change in the short term.

We do have guns though, they are protected behind proper background checks and licences. And we dont fetishish them the same way many Yanks do. Definitely far fewer semi-auto and full auto guns though.

If you keep your eyes open, there are a number of gun shops around, often in quite unexpected locations. There is one near my local kebab shop, and its very subtle, so many people dont even notice it.

One benefit (that I have no sources for, but have seen it mentioned before), is that the USB C socket/cable setup is designed such that the cables wear out instead of the socket. The moving parts (the bendable contacts) are in the cable, so if/when they break. You throw out the cable instead of the phone.

I don't really know how it works for Lightning (Apple) cables, but presumably they have also considered this when they designed their connector. I haven't personally heard of iPhone sockets dying early, so maybe it doesn't really matter?

I have used sewing needles to get stuff out of my phone's socket, and that has been fine, but it's probably unwise. Thinning out a toothpick with a knife is probably safer, and has also worked for me.

Just to upset you, the next 2 versions are 6.8, and 9.0.

"Sorry, that was meant for my mum"

Goes back further than that, Turing was gay, so anything building off his works must also be transitively gay.

To add to the modern examples, Reiser murdered his wife, which really puts "devil cunts" into perspective :D

Is-even and is-odd on npm.

For a while, openssl was maintained by 1 or 2 people.

This is a bizarre scheme, i would not want to receive 1296 books, let alone however many the top gets.

Chromecast with Google TV made the "simple" casting worse for some apps like Netflix. Instead of it casting directly, it would spawn the Netflix app and make you use the remote to reselect the show you wanted to see.

How so? Its been a while since i watched it, but sound of music wasnt a pro-nazi movie? Kinda the opposite?

AMD were already using the x86 ISA long before amd64.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/AMD

Intel had introduced the first x86 microprocessors in 1978.[51] In 1981, IBM created its PC, and wanted Intel's x86 processors, but only under the condition that Intel also provide a second-source manufacturer for its patented x86 microprocessors.[12] Intel and AMD entered into a 10-year technology exchange agreement

AMD were also second source for some other Intel logic chips before that deal.

I think you are missing the most critical features, stability and support. You need whatever distro you pick to be solid. No one cares about the file system or whether it is immutable or not, your users need the computer to work when they use it, and nothing else matters.

You also need to be confident you can update and upgrade safely and easily, any risk of a broken update will make your life a misery when that happens.

Kickstart support, or some form of automated deployment will also be extremely valuable so that you can easily redeploy broken boxes with minimal effort. And some form of remote config/admin will also be extremely valuable. You dont want to have to do updates manually one at a time.

I would pick a general purpose commercially backed OS, so that if you need it later, you can pay for support if there is a problem. And you need to write some basic usage guides, because no matter which distro you pick, if its not Windows, your users will complain when they cant do X the same way it works on Windows.
